Safe, Loving Dog Boarding

Hi! I'm an experienced dog lover and foster who would love to welcome your pup into my home. I have had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for and engaging with many different types of dogs, personalities, and energy levels. I currently foster dogs through Copper's Dream Rescue, which has given me even more hands-on experience helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are away from their families. I'm also dog CPR and First Aid certified, so your pup's safety and well-being are always my top priorities. When your dog stays with me, they'll be treated like one of my own—with plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their individual routines, personalities, and needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone else, and my goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pup has a fun, safe, and loving stay!

Rachel and Patrick are incredibly experienced and compassionate dog caregivers. They have Moe, who lives an exceptionally loving, safe, and happy life with them, as well as countless foster dogs who stay with them while waiting to find their forever homes. Seeing the care they provide to each dog is a true testament to how much they genuinely love and understand dogs. Rachel is especially thoughtful about getting to know each dog’s individual personality, needs, and comfort level. She goes above and beyond to make sure every dog who enters their home feels safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for. Between their experience with their own dog and their work fostering, I can’t think of anyone I would trust more with a pet. I would wholeheartedly recommend Rachel and Patrick to anyone looking for reliable, responsible, and loving caretakers. Your dog will truly be in the best hands with them!

Having known this wonderful couple for years, I can confidently say they are the ultimate caretakers. I have personally seen them find superb homes for the fosters under their care, treating every animal with the utmost respect and love. Their daily routine is fully built around their dogs, packed with walks, beach trips, trail exploring, and playdates. Dogs are never an afterthought—they are family. I own four dogs, and this is the only couple I trust implicitly when I am out of town or looking for someone to give my pups some extra love.

Rachel and Patrick take such good care of dogs, they take them on adventures, hikes, the beach. They love to also just relax and love when dogs give them love. I highly recommend them

Rachel has helped take care of my pets while I’ve been out of town, and I couldn’t have felt more at ease knowing they were in her care. She is incredibly attentive and naturally great with animals. I especially appreciated that she would send me pictures and updates while I was away - it gave me so much peace of mind. I absolutely trust Rachel with my pets and would recommend her without hesitation!

Rachel is an incredible and loving dog caregiver. She goes to great lengths to make sure that dogs in her custody are safe, loved, cared for, and as happy as can be. Every interaction I’ve had with her has been cordial and professional, and I would trust her with any of my dogs at any time. I would highly recommend her for any services that you would need!

Schedule

I’m a teacher, so I’m typically home by 3 PM on weekdays, and my husband works from home during the week. This means your dog will have plenty of companionship and won’t be left alone for long periods of time. Our dogs get three walks a day, along with plenty of attention, playtime, and downtime. If your dog enjoys dog parks, we also have a nearby dog park that is suitable for dogs who enjoy socializing and getting some extra exercise in the evening. On weekends, we love taking our dogs on dog-friendly adventures, so boarding with us can include lots of fun activities and new experiences when appropriate for your dog. Most importantly, we’ll follow your dog’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re staying with us

Safety, trust & environment

I care for every dog like they are part of our family. Before their stay, I like to learn about their personality, routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and safe. Because I foster dogs through Copper’s Dream Rescue, I’m comfortable working with many different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m also dog CPR and First Aid certified, so safety is always a priority. During their stay, dogs receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, playtime, and opportunities to relax. I’ll maintain their normal feeding and medication routines and follow any instructions you provide. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable, loved, and at home while you’re away—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands
