Happy Home

I live on a 16-acre farm, making it extra safe for your fur babies. I'm home full-time, so I can give them my full attention and love. I walk them on our property where they can enjoy a creek and lots of space to play. My kiddos and I love throwing the ball, playing fetch, and giving lots of snuggles. I have loved animals since I was a little girl and my kiddos do, too. I’ve had turtles, hamsters, dogs, cats, hermit crabs, fish, and a super-special fish named Superman, whom I even took to college with me. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything last-minute. I can help with pickup, and I can also assist if you'll be away for an extended period. I am home and happy to help in any way possible and I will love your fur baby like they are my own 🐾❤️ I don't just provide basic supervision and love; I offer tailored care for pets at opposite ends of the age spectrum. I have experience managing the energy of puppies, utilizing positive reinforcement to maintain your potty training and crate routines. Equally, I am deeply patient with senior pets who need slow-paced walks, joint support, and are on a medication schedule. I’m happy to help with~ • Perfect Day-Care Solution for Glenwood Caverns & Hot Springs Visitors •Overnight dog stay • Weekend pet care • Extended stays (month or more) • Holiday stay (Memorial Day, Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Labor Day, ect.) • Last-minute bookings • Vacation care 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rachel and the incredible care she gave my dog, Prod. From the very beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable leaving him with her, and it was obvious that she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Prod wasn’t just another dog staying at her house—she treated him like he was her own. One of the things I appreciated most was how communicative Rachel was throughout his stay. She sent me tons of pictures and updates, which meant so much to me. Every time I received another photo, I could see how happy, relaxed, and comfortable Prod was. It gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing that he was not only safe and well cared for, but was actually having a great time. She never made me feel like I had to wonder how he was doing. The pictures really told the whole story. Prod looked completely at home with her. He looked happy, comfortable, and content, and it was obvious that Rachel was giving him plenty of attention and affection. You can tell very quickly when someone simply watches dogs versus someone who truly loves and cares for them, and Rachel absolutely falls into the second category. She was incredibly attentive to him and clearly took the responsibility of caring for someone else’s dog seriously. I’m pretty particular about who I trust with Prod, so finding someone who made me feel this comfortable was a huge relief. Being away from your dog is always a little difficult, but Rachel made the entire experience so much easier because I never felt like I needed to worry about him. What impressed me most was the personal level of care. Everything about the experience felt warm and genuine rather than transactional. Rachel went above and beyond to make sure Prod was comfortable and happy, and she went out of her way to keep me connected to him while I was gone. Those pictures and updates may seem like a small thing, but as a dog owner, they are incredibly reassuring. I looked forward to every single one of them. When I got Prod back, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had been extremely well cared for. That is about the highest compliment I can give someone who watches my dog. I would absolutely trust Rachel with Prod again without hesitation. In fact, she will be one of the first people I reach out to anytime I need someone to care for him in the future. Finding someone you genuinely trust with your dog is not easy, and I feel extremely fortunate to have found Rachel. If you are considering having Rachel watch your dog, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is kind, attentive, dependable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. The level of care she gave Prod, combined with all of the wonderful pictures and updates she sent me, made this an outstanding experience from beginning to end. Thank you so much, Rachel, for taking such amazing care of Prod. You truly went above and beyond, and I am incredibly grateful!

Rachel did an excellent job of updating us on Quinzy’s stay with photos & videos. We could easily see he was enjoying all aspects of the visit, which relieved us of concerns staying with someone unknown. We would have no hesitation with having Rachel care for him again! 👍

I found Rachel last minute and she was so accommodating to our hectic schedule dropping off and picking up. Would gladly have my dog stay overnight with her again.

We had such a wonderful experience with Rachel and her sweet family! From the start, Rachel was warm, communicative, and caring, and we felt completely at ease leaving our golden retriever, Gracie, with her for a few nights while we were away on a family trip. She sent us lots of photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Gracie was happy and being so well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Gracie with Rachel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy sitter!

Rachel and her family were amazing with my sweet labradoodle. I received pictures every day. I have no doubt my sweet boy was well taken care of and I am so grateful to have found someone to care for Goose while we are out of town.

Schedule

I have a small farm in New Castle and I am happy to watch your fur baby while you work or go on vacation. I have traveled before and I know the stress that can be added when there isn’t a safe place for our fur babies to go. I am excited to help take the pressure off and love on your fur baby while you are gone.
