Dogs best friend -flexible schedule

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Rachel, and I’ve been caring for animals of all shapes and sizes—from newborn kittens to senior dogs who need daily medications. With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I know how important it is for you to feel confident and stress-free while you’re away. I live in a warm, pet-friendly home with my own friendly dog, Luna, who is always excited for a playmate. Your dog (or cat!) will have supervised indoor time, access to a secure dog park for outdoor romp & fresh air, and plenty of cuddles or walk time depending on their personality and your instructions. ⭐ My Specialties Include: • Giving medications (oral or injectable) and managing senior-dog routines • Calm, comforting care for cats, kittens, puppies, and adult dogs • Sending regular photo/text updates so you know how your pet is doing • Flexible scheduling: drop-ins, overnight stays, long weekend care I believe in making your pet feel right at home—just like they were staying with family. I’d love to meet you and your pet for a quick Meet & Greet to make sure we’re the right fit. Let’s chat soon! 🐾 Looking forward to meeting your furry friend!
