Boarding • Sep 16, 2026

I was very nervous to leave my dog for the first time, she is a rescue and can be very skittish and nervous. Rachel assured me numerous times that my dog would be given space to warm up as needed. Our dog warmed up quickly and I know it’s because of Rachel and her loving family (and sweet dog!). We received photos with messages of how my dog was doing throughout her stay. We have already booked her again we were so happy with her service!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 21, 2026

Rachel was wonderful. She was excellent at communicating with us as we booked the dogs’ visit and listen to the different needs of each dog. She even sent pictures and texted us during the day to let us know all was well. We will definitely have a repeat visit the next time we’re in st. Augustine.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily home routine. I provide consistent morning, daytime, and evening care including feeding, walks, playtime, and supervison in a calm home environment. I am home throughout most of the day, which allows for regular attention, potty breaks, and interaction. In the evenings, I may occasionally step out for short periods for family activities, but pets are always cared for before and after, and I maintain a predictable routine so they feel safe and comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, calm, and structured home environment where pets are closely supervised and treated with care and respect. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and designed to help animals feel comfortable and relaxed. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone's care, so I prioritize clear communication, consistent routines, and regular updates with photos and messages. Pets are never left in unsafe situations and are always cared for with attention and responsibility. My goal is to create a peaceful environment where both pets and owners feel secure and confident throughout the entire stay.

It is helpful to know any key details about your pet's routine, personality, and preferences ahead of time so I can provide the best care and maintain their normal schedule and comfort. (Including fears like storms or loud sounds, separation anxiety, special needs, medical care, or any behavior considerations.)
