Pet care experience

Easily distracted by dogs!

I can’t remember a time in my life when I did not own some kind of animal. I currently live on a small farm in Saltville with my husband, two dogs, and three horses. Our yard is fenced so your pup can enjoy all the outdoor time they crave! They are also welcome to freely roam the house as long as they are potty trained and get along with my 2 dogs. My husband is not home through the day, so I will be the sole caretaker of your pups.

Rachel is Awesome!!! My dog came back tired, happy and better behaved. It was a relief to know he was safe and well cared for while I was away. Thank you!

We used Rachel as a dog sitter while on vacation in the area. We're discriminating when it comes to choosing a sitter for our beautiful active Brittany. Rachel did an excellent job with her. Definitely happy.

Rachel was great and has a large fenced in area where the dogs can really run and play. Though Jade was a bit nervous at drop off, a day later Rachel reported she had really come out of her shell and was fully engaged in play time. Rachel sent us images of Jade a couple times which really helped us relax. Would definitely send Jade her way again.

Rachel takes wonderful care of my pup every time he stays (and he is a regular). For my pup, it’s like going to Disney World 🐶♥️

Rachel was responsive, flexible, and communicative through our dog's stay! She seemed to have a great time with Rachel and her pups, who seemed to be very tolerant of our lovely but occasionally bossy dog. Her property is nice and large for ample outside time and Basil was definitely well exercised. We would gladly use her again!

Rachel always takes wonderful care of my pup. It is a blessing to leave him and to not have any worries. He is treated as family, part of the pack 🐶😊♥️

Schedule

I work from home full time three days a week so I have time to take them for potty breaks and even walk them or play with them during lunch! They can stay outside as much as they want as well due to my yard being fenced. We also have outdoor cameras. On the two days I must go to my office, my dogs always stay inside (not crated). I leave the TV on for them and they have plenty of toys to play with. They are typically alone for 5-6 hours on those days.

Please let me know of any health conditions your pup may have. For the safety of our dogs, your dogs, our home, and other dogs that may be boarding, your dogs must be up to date on yearly vaccines, rabies, and flea and tick meds. I also give my dogs treats, so if you’d prefer for yours not to have any, please verify this. If you do not wish to provide your own food, there will be an additional $5 charge per day.
