Rachel just took care of our 2 dogs for 5 days when we went on vacation over the 4th of July holiday. Both dogs seemed to love her and looked happy and content in the pictures she sent. She also texted us updates a couple of times a day. During this time, Rachel was not feeling well and ended up having to go to an urgent care to get an antibiotic, but she continued her responsibilities of taking care of our pets so as to not spoil our vacation. Then, during the 4th night at our house, there was a terrible storm and a possible tornado very close to our house. Rachel had to keep our dogs calm, as both of our dogs are very afraid of storms and other loud noises. She had also had to deal with keeping them calm during fireworks. During the storm, our electricity was knocked out. Rachel mentioned to us in an update that our house had lost electricity, but never complained or told us anything that would worry us. However, she had no way to warm up food, no lights at night, no AC or TV, couldn’t even run a fan. She was going out into her car to keep her phone charged. We told her where candles, flashlights, and external.batteries were that she could use while we waited for updates on the electricity. On the 5th day we realized how uncomfortable it must be for her so we decided to come home a day early to relieve Rachel, as she had endured 28 hours without electricity in our house without complaining or worrying us at all and we didn’t know when the power might be restored. The whole time , we knew the dogs were well taken care of. Rachel even waited to leave until we got back because more storms were coming and she didn’t want the dogs to be alone during the storms. I was so impressed with Rachel and will definitely be using her again. Rachel stayed with her commitment to us through some very tough situations, never complaining and staying positive in her communications with us so we were never worried.

Rachel was very caring with my babies, followed all of the directions to a T, and sent me picture updates on how they were doing while she was at my house. I felt really comfortable knowing they were being taken care of by someone trustworthy. She responded quickly to any messages I sent and was respectful of my space.
