WFH and looking for furry friends

I've been house and dog sitting for over 10 years. I provide professional, personalized services depending on client/dog needs. I currently work remotely as a graphic designer with a pretty flexible schedule and would love some company. Travel is a passion of mine, but when in town hiking, biking, and going to all the dog-friendly places are my norm. I am extremely flexible and open to helping out however I can (if house sitting - grabbing mail, watering plants, etc). I currently have a variety of favorite dogs and would love to add yours to the list. My house and main bedroom are up a couple flights of stairs, so let me know if your pet has any issues with that. I do have a yard, but it is not currently fenced in. I do have a deck that I block off so they can hang out outside and sunbathe if they like! Feel free to reach out for more information about me, my space and my experience. I can't wait to meet you and your amazing dog(s)!

Rachel was awesome. So friendly and accommodating. Even gave some great restaurant recommendations in a nearby town. She was great with our two dogs…I don’t think they wanted to leave! Also great with keeping us up to date and pictures to boot. Highly recommended for outstanding service!

Rachel is great with Mogul, he waits for her at the door and is so excited to go out on his walk. She is prompt and on time, even at short notice. I appreciate her flexibility with my ever changing schedule!

Rachel was Amazing! She was so patient and tentative to my senior dog and kept us updated daily. She even fed our hamster and refilled the food in the outdoor cat house. My dog was sleeping peacefully when I came home and was calm; unlike other times (at a pet hotel) when she has had a terrible response to me being away. So happy we found Rachel. Thank you !!!

Rachel was wonderful!! Kept me up to date with plenty of great photos and updates. We found her on very short notice and we were so lucky to have done so! Hoping we can use her for all our future needs :)

Schedule

Working remotely allows a lot of flexibility with my schedule. I am a huge fan of walking, so if I can add a furry friend to one of my daily strolls I would love that!

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in a house
Has an unfenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has no pets
No children present
Dogs allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 4-8 hours

Safety, trust & environment

Always follow the advice and instructions of the owner. Once the pet is comfortable with me I love to just sit and pet the dog so they feel safe. I am a huge cuddler so if the dog loves to cuddle that is an added bonus!

A typical day

Depending on where you are located - I will be walking the dogs around the neighborhoods - and if there is a near by park - we can run wild (well as wild as a dog can be on a leash!) Depending on the length of the stay and the abilities of the dog - we may even be able to catch a hike or two!

Rachel can host up to 2 pets per night
I would like to know if the dogs are aggressive, their routine, how they communicate they need to use the bathroom, if they like other dogs/pets, how long they should be crated - and if they stay over - what their sleeping preferences are.
