Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

What is their normal day like so I can make it as close to home for them as possible. Do they like kids and adults? We want to include your pets in our family if they want to be! But we also have the set up where they don't have to be around everyone if they are used to a more quiet and calm environment.

A typical day

We have a great neighborhood for walking and I have a large fenced in yard. I am used to throwing lots of tennis balls. I am happy to keep your pup as busy as I can!

Pet care experience

I have always had dogs in my life and they are a big part of our family. All of my dogs have been with me throughout their lives and I have learned to care for them at all ages. I have had everything from mixed breeds to my super energetic Aussie. I currently work remotely and have a "dog room" in our finished basement to make the perfect pet apartment for over night stays.

My dog Duke had an AMAZING stay with Rachel and her family. She sent a ton of pictures and the cutest video while I was away and made his first stay unforgettable. Her home is so welcoming and comfy because she literally has a doggy AirBnB for your pet that makes them feel right at home with lots of space and yard to play and rest. I look forward to booking again and again with her in the future.

Rachel and her family took such good care of our dog. The communication ahead was easy and informative. We trusted her from the beginning. During the stay from our dog she always sent us updates and pictures. Our dog enjoyed the stay with her so much, no wishes remained open. She was a part of the family during the stay.

Rachel has the perfect designated dog area to make your dog feel comfortable & made my Riley feel like part of the family. She gave plenty of updates, and I will definitely be using her again in the future!

I know leaving my pup with Rachel is leaving her in the best hands possible! She takes such good care of her, sends the best pictures and updates, and Rory is always excited to go to her house.
