Availability

I am working part time. Three days out of the week so I am available most days. We have our Oliver who is home during the day, so if they get along, there would be no problem on my end having them home together while I am away if this is of interest.

We have a fenced back yard. However, we do have an in ground pool that will be opened soon. Oliver does not go in it so this has not been a problem. We live in a dog friendly neighborhood (meaning.. people walk their dogs all the time). When I have cared for my brothers older dog, I slept with her in my living room since she couldn’t go up into our bedroom. If there are other things you want to know, just ask.

Pet care experience

Growing up, my mother was always adding to our family number. From cats, dogs, birds and even rats! At one point we had over 10 pets! Indoor and outdoors. I have always had a love for animals. 3 years ago, my husband and I got our first puppy. Oliver. This is my first time having to do everything from potty training to sleeping with him in our bed. I do not want to say I know everything, because I don’t. This pretty much sums up my experience. Growing up with animals and then having my Oliver

Rachel is such a great caregiver for our pets. It gives us real peace of mind to know that they are loved and cared for while we are gone. She always treats them as her own and goes above and beyond.

Rachel was great with our dog & cat. She was punctual, reliable, and our fur babies took to her so quickly. She sent me so many pictures of them cuddled up on her so if you believe that a dog is a good judge of character, then Rachel is the best. We will use her in the future & would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Rachel was excellent! She was very attentive to the needs of our older dog and it was greatly appreciated.

We were looking for a sitter on short notice, and Rachel was very accommodating; facilitating a meet and greet right away. We absolutely loved Oliver, and him and Lana got along right away. Lana had a great weekend away, and we could not be happier. Lots of updates on our trip, many many cute photos. Absolutely would recommend.
