Reviews
Rachel and Matt were amazing with our dog!! He was spoiled just like at home and I didn’t have to worry at all about his care while we were on vacation. I would highly recommend Rachel! She was fast to respond and gave daily updates.
Rachel was very kind and communicative took such care of my sweet kitty.
Rachel does a wonderful job watching our diabetic cat!! She is always timely, communicates well and gives updates with each visit. We are so happy to have found her! Thank you Rachel!
Rachel did drop-ins for our diabetic cat + checked in on our chickens. She was timely, detailed and did a wonderful job ensuring our cat was fed and given his medicine as needed. We loved receiving updates and pictures from her. We would love to have her pet sit for us again!

All 3 of my dogs do great with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have a fenced in yard and can provide crates, dog beds, treats, and toys as needed.
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.
