Pet care experience

No doggo too big or small!

I have two amazing dogs, Milo and Winter, that play constantly! They are best of friends and always welcome new friends. Milo is an 8 month old puppy still learning house training and making amazing progress. I found him at a rescue in Philly when I was visiting March 2026- love at first site! He clicked so well with my German Shepherd mix Winter, that I rescued in June 2025. Prior to falling in love with these two rescues, I helped foster several dogs through a local rescue- while healing from the loss of my dog of 13 years, Bella. She was a one dog household kind of girl, but Winter was just the opposite. I could tell she needed a friend, and Milo came into our lives at just the right time. I so look forward to helping care for your fur babies and will give them all the walks, plays, and cuddles they might need. I’ll ensure all your care is personalized to your dog’s specific needs. Also, would love to send you pic updates while you’re at work or adventuring! If your dog is in my care for doggy daycare, I will be home with them, unless otherwise discussed with you. If I’m hired to come walk your dog, I’ll give you a detailed update of our walk!

Rachael was reliable, easy to communicate with, sent updates throughout the stay, and took great care of my dog. Everything felt easy and helped make a long trip stress‑free. Highly recommend.

Rachel was so kind and considerate with my dogs. She made sure both of my girls were comfortable, and settled in her space. She gave them everything they needed, and I got plenty of updates which I love. She was also flexible with me as my plans changed on my vacation. She's amazing!

Rachel was an absolute lifesaver! She stepped in at the last minute after our original sitter canceled, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. She was incredibly flexible, kept us updated with messages and photos, and made us feel at ease knowing our pups were in good hands. She also has two dogs of her own, and they got along great with ours, which made the experience even better. Our dogs came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with Rachel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Rachel is quite literally the best human I know. I can't recommend her enough. She is reliable, caring, and will treat every pet as if it is her own. I trust Rachel with my own two fur babies - Rue & Gouda. She will really go above and beyond to give you the peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands. If you're looking for someone responsible, compassionate and attentive, Rachel is absolutely the right choice!
