Rachel was amazing! She sent lots of updates and pics, and my pup definitely loved staying with her! Will definitely rebook again!

Rachel was the perfect sitter to hang out with my dog over the weekend. Great communication, very easy to get in touch and Rachel provided plenty of photos/updates. Will definitely be a return customer!

Received updates and photos about how our dog was doing, seemed like they were very accommodating and took great care of him. Would absolutely use again!

Rachel was great! I got lots of pictures and knew my guy was well taken care of!

Highly recommend boarding with Rachel! Rachel and her partner really seemed to understand our dog’s personality and needs. Our dog seemed very at home during his stay. I appreciated the cute photos and updates.

This was our first time leaving Lucy with Rachel and we will definitely be back if we need a place for her in Boone. Rachel got on a couple of calls before we actually dropped Lucy to go over her schedule and learn more about her. During the time Lucy was with her, Rachel sent photos and updates. When we picked Lucy up, she was excited but not clingy, so we knew she had felt at home with Rachel.

Schedule
🐾 Balancing Clients and Snuggles: Pet Boarding Tailored to Post-Grad Life 🎓 I graduated from graduate school in August of 2024 and moved to Richmond shortly after. I grew up with a house full of pets, so when I left for college in 2017, I began fostering dogs through local animal shelters. I have fostered dogs of all shapes and sizes with various behavioral and medical problems. I began on Rover in 2022 and have been doing it ever since! I work from home most of the time, making it easy to provide constant and consistent care for your pup! My partner, Gabe and I live together which guarantees your pet at least double the amount of pets and love they get! When I do go into the office, we tend to work opposite schedules, making it easier to make sure your baby doesn’t spend any time by themselves and helps us be more flexible with pick up and drop off!

🏡 Your Pet's Home Away from Home: Personalized Care in a Loving Environment 🐾 When your cherished furry family member steps into my home or yours, they become part of a tailored pet care experience designed with their comfort and happiness in mind. From cozy sleeping arrangements to engaging playtime, I create an environment where your pet feels safe, loved, and cherished. In my home, your pet will enjoy a dedicated space equipped with all the essentials they need, from comfortable bedding to stimulating toys. Regular exercise routines and outdoor adventures ensure their physical well-being, while personalized attention and affectionate companionship address their emotional needs. When caring for your pet in your own home, I seamlessly integrate into their routine, following your instructions to a tee. From feeding schedules to medication administration, I make it my priority to maintain a sense of familiarity and normalcy for your pet. Whether it's cuddling on the couch or going for a stroll in their favorite park, your pet's routine and preferences take center stage. Rest assured, I treat your pets as if they were my own, providing consistent, reliable care that creates a stress-free experience for both you and your beloved furry friend.
Pets
A typical day
Boarding your dog in my apartment involves creating a cozy, safe environment tailored to the dog's needs. The day starts with a morning walk, giving the dog a chance to relieve itself and get some fresh air. Afterward, breakfast is served, keeping in mind any specific dietary preferences or restrictions. You’d ensure fresh water is available throughout the day. During the day, the dog may have some free time to roam and explore the apartment or hangout on the balcony, while I provide toys or puzzles for mental stimulation. Regular playtime helps keep the dog entertained and active, whether it’s indoors with toys or outdoors for a walk or run. Depending on the dog’s routine, they may nap during the afternoon. I create a designated rest area with a bed or blankets where the dog feels comfortable. Later in the day, there’s usually another walk, followed by dinner. Evening relaxation might include some more play or snuggle time before settling in for the night. Throughout the day, I keep a close eye on the dog to ensure they’re comfortable, happy, and adjusting well to the temporary home.
