Home
Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet
How the animal does with people, especially people who are new. Is there any triggers that have that might cause them to be fearful, shy, or aggressive. Do they have any special preferences for certain things. Are they good motivated or attention motivated. What is the best way to redirect them if needed. Is there any health or behavioral concerns?
A typical day
One of the things I like to do is provide kongs for dogs I watch as a way to help mentally stimulate them. I also enjoy taking them on walks, running with them around the yard, and throwing toys for them.

Reviews
Rachel is amazing! Our cat has a heart condition, and she was so mindful about not letting him play too hard, she monitored his respiratory rate, spaced his meds well and gave him lots of love. She is great!
Rachel is very sweet to Charlie! She scheduled a meet and greet for us before her first drop in visit, so she could meet Charlie and I could show her all of his things. On her visits, she sent photos of Charlie on his walk and played fetch and hang out with him for the whole 30 minutes. She brings such a calming presence for my high energy doggo! She is awesome!
Rachel was great with our two large energetic dogs, took great care of them and kept us updated throughout our trip! We came home to two very happy dogs!
Rachel watched our pups for us for a little over a week while we were out of town, and did a great job. She sent updates and pictures, and the dogs were obviously very comfortable with her. We will definitely use her again!
