Availability

My husband mostly works from home. When he does leave the house it’s generally for no more than 2 hours. He’s able to provide plenty of potty breaks and play time. I work nearby as a teacher and am able to come home for midday check-ins if needed. Between the two of us, we have all of our pet needs covered.

Rachel and Thomas did a wonderful job caring for Nala and Ruby! They welcomed my dogs like their own. They were quick to respond, and they shared pictures of my pups lying on the couch and cuddling! I will use them again in the future! I highly recommend!

Rachael and Thomas were fantastic! They were very flexible with our booking, which made things easier for us as we traveled. I would book with them again 💛

Rachel & Thomas were fantastic at caring for our dog. We received pictures throughout his stay showing all the love and attention he got while in their care. I know he loved his stay with them as I have rebooked, and when dropping off my dog the second time, he was excited and happy to go stay with Rachel & Thomas.

We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with Rachel & Thomas! They sent lots of updates and were very flexible with our pick up time changing. We will definitely use them again for our dog sitting needs!!
