Availability

I’m self-employed and work remotely, which means I can stay flexible and attentive to the pets I’m caring for 🐾. My dog Arthur enjoys 1-2 daily walks (weather dependent), and any visiting fur friends get to join us for those outings 🚶‍♀️🐕. I’m always happy to adjust to your pet’s routine and accommodate special requests—just ask! 🙂

Information Rachel T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any allergies or medication’s I need to know of. Additionally, please let me know if they’ve ever shown any signs of aggression, I want to ensure that I know all the details ahead of time. If needed, I can hide all of our own animal toys in the house so there’s nothing to fight over.

A typical day

Your fur baby will enjoy a wide range of activities, from walks to and from the park that is just a few blocks away, fetch & playing in the backyard. Tug-of-war. While I am working on my computer, they are welcome to roam around the house, nap or go play in the backyard! I mold myself to their needs.

Rachel has become someone I genuinely trust with Kitty Boy. She has cared for him four times now and every stay reminds me why we keep coming back to her. Rachel has such a calm and caring way with him. She sends the sweetest updates and photos and somehow always captures his little personality in them. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was not just being watched but truly cared for. Her daughter is also adorable and so sweet with him which made the stay feel even more personal and comforting. Kitty Boy came home happy relaxed and clearly spoiled with love. I am so grateful for Rachel and will definitely be booking with her again.

Rachel was the perfect fit for Rosie! She sent tons of updates and pictures while we were away! Rosie looked happy and had lots to do to stay busy! She was cuddled and cared for the entire time. Rachel was very understanding and accommodating when my drop off time was later than expected. I am beyond grateful to have found such a caring person for Rosie when we have to leave town.

Rachel has been the best of anyone I have ever booked! She treated my dogs like her own. She also had to give medication and she took that in stride with no problems. I hardily recommend her to everyone! She is the BEST.
