Pampering for your fur baby!

I've been petsitting for over 20 years and I am also proud fur mama to a 14 lb. Yorkie/Dachsund names Maximillian. Max LOVES other dogs and we would love to keep your dog company while you're out of town. I'm on vacation for the summer so we would love to host your furry friends for a visit for a day or overnight or visit them at your place.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 12, 2026

We are so glad we found Rachel on Rover. She is lovely, kind and a very caring person. Our shy little guy enjoyed his time with her and her friendly pup, Max. We will definitely have her care for our pup again.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 04, 2025

We recently had the pleasure of using Rachel to watch our mini schnauzer mix, Woody, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. It’s clear that Rachel genuinely loves dogs—she took the time to learn everything about Woody to ensure he received the best care possible. Woody is extremely attached to me, and Rachel went above and beyond to make his stay as calm and anxiety-free as possible. Her thoughtful approach and attention to his needs meant a lot to us. We’re very grateful for the care she gave our pup and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and attentive dog sitter.

Rachel is absolutely wonderful! She is so flexible and great to work with. It’s our second time working with her and we highly recommend her to any pet parents!

Rachel was wonderful with our two pups! We really enjoyed working with her and meeting her own fur baby, Marty. Thanks for everything, Rachel!

I've known Rachel for years, and she is always engaged, enthusiastic, and respectful. Marty, her own dog, has benefited immensely from her constant attention to his health, diet, and activity level, vastly improving his physical and emotional health since his adoption. Her patience and love for pets is only matched by her consideration for their owners and other caretakers. Ensuring everyone is informed of any problems, questions, or other potential issues through regular communication is always a top priority. She genuinely cares about the lives of everyone involved and is as trustworthy as they come.

I'm available during the summer/school breaks and on weekends during the school year (I'm a teacher). I'll have lots of time for walks, belly rubs. I live close to the rail trail and the walkway.

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs are welcome on the couch. There's lots of space here to roll around on the floor, play fetch, bask in the sun on the fenced-in patio. For boarding, dogs must be crate trained, since I don't want to risk any harm to my dog or yours while I'm out.

Pets

A typical day

Max and I always go for a walk first thing then breakfast, playtime, and then a nap for him. I love to play fetch, tug of war, and hide things for the dogs to dig out of blankets or boxes.

Happy to administer oral or injected medication. I will need to do a meet and greet to make sure you're dog is ok with Max and vice versa.
