Availability

I work during the week, which is why I offer boarding primarily on weekends—when I’m fully available to give your dog the attention, time, and companionship they deserve. My career is flexible, though, so depending on my schedule, I’m also able to offer drop-in visits and walks during the day or in the evenings throughout the week. I always make sure that any service I accept fits comfortably around my work so your dog receives reliable, unrushed, and consistent care.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a bungalow with a full basement and a mudroom, so there are very few stairs — perfect for senior dogs or pups with mobility issues. If a dog isn’t comfortable with steps or has joint concerns, I can easily block off or baby-gate the stair areas to keep them safe. My home also has a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of room to play, sniff, and explore. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer time outside, I always stay with the dog — I never leave them out on their own. The yard has minimal steps as well, which is great for dogs who need extra care with mobility. When it comes to sleeping arrangements, I want dogs to feel completely comfortable. They’re welcome to sleep in our room on a cozy dog bed, and if they prefer or are used to a crate, I can set that up as well. Whatever helps them feel safe and settled is what I’ll do. When I’m caring for dogs in a client’s home, I follow their routines and house rules exactly — feeding, walks, bedtime habits, comfort items, and any special instructions. My goal is for their dog to feel relaxed, secure, and cared for in their own familiar environment. No matter where I’m looking after your dog, you can expect safe supervision, attention to detail, a calm atmosphere, and lots of love.

Loving, Trusted, Safe Dog Stays

Pet care experience

I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals — from Retrievers, Shepherds, Weimaraners to Border Collies, Basset Hounds to Rottweilers , Cats, and even my horse. With years of hands-on experience across all ages and personalities, I’m comfortable caring for playful puppies, energetic younger dogs, and sweet seniors who need a slower pace. I take a calm, gentle approach with every dog, reading their cues and meeting them exactly where they are — whether they need confidence, comfort, reassurance, or a little extra patience. I’m also experienced with medication routines and special care instructions, and I always handle those with the same kindness and attentiveness your dog is used to at home. My goal is always the same: to make your dog feel safe, understood, and truly at home.

I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy with Rachel to attend an event! She was great with communication and even sent updates during the evening! Will definitely book again with her when I’m in the area again !

Rachel was incredible and very attentive to Lola's needs. We had the absolute pleasure of leaving our 15-year old Yorkie with Rachel for the first time, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Leaving an older dog with medical issues can be stressful, but Rachel immediately put our minds at ease. She was kind, attentive, and clearly very experienced with dogs. Lola was very comfortable in her home, she treats the dog she boards as if they were her own. We are incredibly grateful to have found Rachel and would not hesitate to reccommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter. Thank you, Rachel, for taking such wonderful care of our little Lola.
