Pet care experience

**About me** We have moved to Madison CT! We have had an amazing time taking care of your pets over the last 2 years. If you would like to stay in touch you can find me on Facebook Rachel Strabley Caldicott. We will miss your dogs so much xo My husband and I both work from home, we have 3 children currently 9, 11 and 14. We have rescued dogs in the past who have since passed away and we miss having dogs in our home. We are experienced with separation anxiety, rescue dogs and bully breeds. We are not ready to commit to having dogs full time and feel looking after your family pet will be fun for them and us. **About my home/services** We have a home in a dog friendly neighbourhood, it is a 2 story yet dogs will mainly stay on the lower level keeping us company in the at home office, playing with kids in the playroom and will be fed in the kitchen. If you need them to be crated please provide their crates, dog beds also need to be provided as well as a towel and food. We live near Taylor Farm dog park, and a wonderful walk around Marvin Beach neighbourhood. Also longer walk into Sono and along the river. We have a fenced in back yard and a minivan for transporting to different walk and play areas. **About my neighborhood** We live in a dog friendly cul de sac with safe walkways and dogs will always be leashed and held by an adult when leaving the house. **What to expect** Dogs will enjoy lots of fuss, as well as commands that you want us to use, for ex sit and stay while waiting for food, plenty of outside play with balls and kids and myself. Lots more fuss and treats as allowed. Feeding on their current schedule and 2 walks a day. **Special rules or requests** Dogs need to be kid friendly. I would prefer dog friendly yet if not they may be limited to back yard play and shorter walks). Any other behaviour concerns you have, separation anxiety, medications etc I will be happy to talk with you and hopefully come up with a solution that works for everyone especially your dog. We have experience with separation anxiety as well as timid dogs who need time to adjust.

Rachel and family are absolutely wonderful. They took such great care of our dog while we were on vacation. Rachel sent daily pictures and updates which made us feel so at ease. We could not have been happier and will definitely use Rachel again in the future! What a wonderful experience.

Rachel and her family were amazing! Smokey, our 18 month goldendoodle, had the best time with them and came back very tired!
