Dog loving family w/ a fenced yard

I have always had dogs and grew up with mostly herding breeds. We currently have a double merle toy size Australian shepherd, an Aussie/Great Dane mix and a double merle border collie. Our kids (ages 10 and 12) love all animals but especially dogs and they love offering plenty of play time in our home or in our fenced in yard. I am a special education teacher so I have a special place in my heart for children with different abilities and the same goes for dogs. Two of our sweet dogs, Aurora and Luna are deaf and we have a passion for teaching people about double merle dogs who have the possibility of being blind and/or deaf.

Rachel was a great fit for Max. She replied quickly to messages and sent updates on how he was doing. He enjoyed his time at her house and came home tired from playing with the other pups. We would definitely book again with her if we came back to the area.

Rachel welcomed our 2 pups into her amazing home and huge fenced in backyard. They had a blast playing and enjoying her family. Rachel communicated often with pictures of all the fun. We are so happy we found such a wonderful caregiver for our babies.

Rachel took great care of our Pepper while we were out of town. Great communicator, quick to respond and lots of photos while we were away. Won’t hesitate to book in the future!

We are so grateful to have found Rachel! She was amazing with our pup, Rosie. From the moment we dropped her off, Rosie felt right at home with Rachel and her crew! Rachel kept us updated with adorable photos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Rachel is wonderful and I know are dogs are in good hands with her. Her pups make my pups more comfortable in an unfamiliar situation and they warm up quickly.

Schedule

I am a teacher so I am off work in the summer and my children are home to help and play with the dogs too. My husband occasionally works from home so he is sometimes available during the week to be home with the dogs even if I am busy. During the school year we have more availability during weekends.

Just let me know about any special needs or requests and we will try our best to accommodate those needs. The most important thing to let me know is if your dogs are not comfortable around children or other dogs and I can have a safe space prepared for them.
