Pet care experience

*CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING ANY BOOKINGS ON THIS PLATFORM* No breed restrictions here! All well mannered dogs are welcome! Additional Rover pictures and videos can be found on our Instagram page and Facebook page! Our Instagram username is @rachel_roverdotcom. Our Facebook page is "Staycation 4Paws". **Holiday Boarding & Services** Boarding - There is a two night minimum for all Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years boardings with no drop offs or pick ups on the holiday day itself. For Christmas Eve and New Years Eve, all pick up and drop off availability ends at noon. Day Care - We will not be offering day care close to the holiday day (ie day before, day of, day after, etc). *Every client will be required to fill out an electronic pet profile and agreement. This online paperwork is completely separate from Rover and is specific to us (Rachel & Spencer). The link to the online paperwork will be sent via Rover messages at the time of booking. Rachel - I am a high school teacher at a local public school, though my dream job would be to solely work with animals every day. I run our Rover page and our Instagram page. Spencer - I am a high school teacher and athletic trainer for a local public high school. We allow all dogs to have free roam of the common areas of the house while we are home. Pets are allowed on furniture (unless owners specifies not to). We have a large fully fenced yard that provides lots of space for sunbathing and running. We also have a large kiddy pool that we fill up for the dogs to play in. While we don't have a doggy door, we let the dogs outside regularly. We provide kennels for all of our boarders; so no need to bring a kennel. In our kennel room, we provide a soft lamplight, plush blankets, and relaxing music! All dogs are crated for meal time, bedtime, and when we are away from home. We also provide treats for all of our boarders so that no one is left out. We have four dogs of our own; two medium size dogs (17 lbs and 25 lbs) and two large dogs (50 lbs and 75 lbs). Our medium size dogs are very calm and relaxed while our large dogs are very playful and is sure to be any dog's best friends regardless of size. Our dogs have been around dogs weighing 5 lbs all the way to 120 lbs along with dogs 6 weeks old all the way to 16 years old. All interactions have gone fantastically smooth. If you want someone to treat your dogs like family, look no further. Our fur babies are as spoiled as can be and so will yours during their time with us!

Rachel and Spencer have watched our two golden retrievers multiple times for long trips! Every day they send pictures of them playing and updates throughout the day. The pups get so excited when we get to their house and it makes leaving them easier because I know they’ll get taken care of while we’re out of town! Couldn’t recommend anyone better for your fur babies!

Had the best experience overall. Zena loved her stay and we will definitely be using them again in the future. The meet and greet went so well I was not nervous at all to drip her off and I was confident the entire time we were out of time that she was in the best care
