Safety, trust & environment

My husband and I have a large fenced yard. I have one very sweet 2 year old schnoodle, who works with me to take care of children, whom have special needs, in our home two days a week. I also have two grown children who love to spend time with the dogs, when they are home to visit. We all love dogs, and we all contribute in caring for them. Throwing a ball, belly rubs, walks around the neighborhood and lots of love.

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs. Food allergies, phobias, fears. Where your dog is most comfortable sleeping, when they prefer eating, and how frequently they need to go outside, dogs must be potty trained. Do they get along with young children, and other dogs? Do they like car rides or hikes? Are they crate trained?

A typical day

We get up, take the dogs out have breakfast, usually 7am. Go outside throw a ball, run around the yard do their business. During the day, it’s mostly free time whatever your dogs are up for doing? We would go back out for some exercise at lunchtime, or a walk then rest/relax. Dinner usually around 5 and back out to do the business. Evenings are cuddles on the couch, or playing with toys. Bedtime varies but it’s usually out to potty one last time between 9-10 then it’s bedtime.

Dependable Consistent Caregiver

Pet care experience

I’m a homeowner, wife, mother and pet lover. I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid, and I know how special they are to us. I love to go for walks, throw a ball, play tug of war, and give love and affection. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and of all different demeanors. I’ve taken private training sessions, courses in puppy training, intermediate training, and adult obedience training. I’ve dealt with dogs who get anxious, and puppies that want to chew everything in the house. I’m comfortable with crate trained dogs, and those who want to sleep next to me in bed. I’m accustom to giving regular baths, and grooming. I thank you, for taking the time to read my bio, and hope you consider reaching out with any questions.

It’s a wonderful feeling, knowing that when I leave my dog with Rachel she is always well cared for. Rachel listens to my needs, and keeps me posted on how my girl is doing while I’m away.

Rachel and her husband, Dennis are the best! They are so loving, and kind to our fur babies. I always feel comfortable leaving, and know they are loved.
