Loving, reliable pet care 🐾

Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover who will treat your pets like family. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for! I have a 13 year old bulldog, who is extremely sweet and loves being with other animals. I’m a stay at home mom so I have a lot of flexibility. I have a fenced in back yard with a pool.

Rachel did an awesome job of watching our active pup, Ouzel. Rachel kept him busy with hikes and lots of playtime with her friends' dogs. We appreciated Rachel's attention to the specific needs of our dog and her desire to learn how she could make him most comfortable in multiple situations. Although Ouzel was excited to see us when we picked him back up, he also took the time to say goodbye to Rachel which was very cute and showed us he had a good time. We would definitely have Rachel dogsit for us again!

Rachel was great with our two Jack Russells, and (based on photos Rachel sent) they clearly were comfortable staying with her. They also were not stressed out at all, something that they have been after staying in boarding kennels in the past. Her home has a nice situation with a small yard and easy access to local parks and safe places for walks. Rachel followed all of our (somewhat) detailed feeding and care instructions, things that are important for older dogs! Rachel clearly loves dogs and caring for them and I would recommend her to anyone.

I would recommend Rachel's services! She boarded my 8 month old puppy in her home for 5 days. She was very flexible with dropping off and picking up. She responded to messages promptly and gave me photo updates during his stay. She took him on hikes and gave him plenty of exercise and interactions with other dogs. She even gave him a bath so he would be fresh and clean when I picked him up! This was the longest time he had been away from home and I felt secure leaving him in Rachel's care. I will definitely use her services again!

Rachel is an animal lover. She took care of my dog multiple times by walking him, feeding him and while I have been out of town. My dog absolutely loves her! She has a special and gentle way in communicating and taking care of animals. She is very reliable and any dog, cat or pet alike would be so happy to have Rachel hang with them and take care of them. I highly recommend Rachel to take care of your loved ones.
