Thanks again for taking such great care of our boy Finn! He can be a little difficult but you always show him so much love and patience! Can’t wait to book with you again!!!
Rachel is the best of the best! It can be stressful to find someone to care for your baby, but with Rachel, I’m pretty sure he’s in better hands than even ours;). So happy to have someone who loves all animals like they should be loved!
Rachel is truly the best. She is so incredibly caring and thoughtful with our dog, Smokey. He loves spending time with her and we never have to worry when he is in her hands.
Rachel went over and above for our senior pup !! She is a great dog whisperer 🐶😊
Our dogs have stayed with Rachel multiple times and they have a great experience every time! She is so attentive to them and responsive to us and sends updates/photos throughout their stay. She is the first person we think of when we need a pet sitter!
Rachel is awesome. So thoughtful with our dog. Highly recommend working with her. She’s the best!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I have a very flexible schedule so I can be sure that your pet gets the care they deserve and are accustomed to. I love being outside and would love to take your dog with me to tucker them out.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I will always be near your pet. When we go outside, they will stay on a leash and we'll only walk in safe neighborhoods away from busy streets. I will give you daily updates and will notify you asap of any incidents. They will have access to dog beds and blankets. They can also be on the couches and chairs. I have several appropriate toys that they can choose from. I use stainless steel food and water bowls which are sanitized each day.
A typical day
Your pet will be able to safely explore the neighborhood. I believe in providing adequate mental stimulation as well as physical stimulation. We will visit several parks and if your pet wants to, we can go for runs. The typical schedule that I use for dogs includes a 30 minute walk every 3-4 hours and a 1-2 hour nap/quiet time in the afternoon.

- Please let me know if your pet has any behaviors that I should be aware of. If there are any training goals that you have for them, I would like to know that as well. I also like to know their typical schedule so it isn't so much of a shock to their routine to stay away from home with me.
