Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs are our life
I currently own 3 Golden Retrievers with my significant other. Over the years we have also had a Lab Golden mix and an Australian Shepherd. I volunteer for a nonprofit Retriever rescue and have fostered many dogs through the organization, and for the past 8 yrs I have served as a Medical Intake Manager for the rescue. I absolutely love dogs and treat all dogs like they were my own. Our home sits on 1.25 acres which includes about 1/4 acres of fenced woods with trails, our own private wooded dog park! We also have a medium sized fenced backyard with grass. Our 3 dogs are super dog friendly and love to play. We have a 2 & 6 yrs old spayed female Goldens and a 5 yr old neutered male Golden. We live in a quiet neighborhood on a dead end street with lots of private roads for dog walks.

Ratings and reviews
Rachel was incredibly kind, professional, had great communication and clearly loves animals. My dogs were happy and well cared for. Everything went smoothly. Highly recommend!
Sent photos and communicated what happened during the visit which I really appreciate! Thanks Rachel!
I will say with absolute confidence that Rachel is the best dog mom I’ve ever met. She absolutely loves her dogs, and I’ve seen her watch others, and she treats them like her own children. I have absolutely no problem leaving my dogs in her care because I know they’ll be happier When I pick them up versus when I dropped them off. She is the best.
Rachel has taken care of my very timid, shy dog, Evie, and I felt Evie was in great hands. Rachel took into account my dog's unique needs and fears, make sure she got her meds, and approached her appropriately. I've also had the chance to see Rachel with her own dogs and foster dogs, including those with challenges due to tough histories. Rachel is compassionate, attentive, and creates a fun, safe environment for her dogs and for those who may be staying with her, whether for a day or two or longer until they find a good home.
Rachel has a lot of experience with pets. She volunteers for a rescue, has many of her own dogs and also does fostering. Dogs in her care are treated like family and very well loved.

Schedule
I have a very flexible work from home job and am always here to attend to your pups needs. The dog would get lots of attention throughout the day and be able to play and have lots of fun here!

Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced medium sized backyard, and our back woods are fenced as well which is accessible by a separate gate. I have XL wire crates on hand and can crate if needed. Super experienced dog owner from my previous fostering experiences.

A typical day
We love to play ball, run around in the yard, let the dogs run and have fun in our wooded fenced private doggy park that has trails and so much fun stuff to explore and check out. We can also go for walks around our quiet neighborhood, we live on a dead end street with lots of private roads to walk on.
