Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I want your dog to be as comfortable as they are with you!

A typical day

I’m an active person and love going on walks, especially with a furry friend, so expect us to go on a couple walks, if they’re able of course! In the evenings I like to relax, watch a movie, read, and definitely wind down with some cuddles :)

I. Love. Dogs!!!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of family and friends dogs growing up. When I was in college I worked at a doggy day care where I took care of multiple dogs, including feeding, taking them on walks, and giving them lots of love. If they needed any special attention such as medication, I did that as well.

Rachel and Noah were fantastic hosts for our dog and had the perfect home for him to stay. Murphy felt right at home with them. They were very communicative and kind throughout and even brought him to our wedding for pictures! They were our first experience with Rover and will definitely be booking with them again!

Rachel is so wonderful! I am always nervous trying a new boarder for the first time, but she showed me there was no reason to worry! She sent lots of pictures and it was clear how much she cared for our pup! Will definitely reach back out in the future. Thank you Rachel!!

Rachel was prompt, courteous, and so knowledgeable with our beloved dogs. Our dogs were always so excited to see her. You can tell she has a real passion for pet care and ensured the dogs were well cared for!
