I work remotely, so I am always around to supervise your pup(s)/pets and give them lots of love and attention. I recently lost my sweet little Zeus, who was between 16-17 years old, so I have an outpouring of extra love that would fall to your pup or kitty. 🥹 (Think LOTS of extra hugs and kisses, or playtime if that is more of their type of love language.) I’m an early riser. Potty breaks are every 2-3 hours or so, as well as a couple of longer walks each day. I enjoy being active, so I love to entertain, exercise, and play with high-energy dogs. Fetch, frisbee, tug-of-war, etc are some of the activities we’d play. :) However, I also have a HUGE soft-spot for senior pups who just want love and cuddles. (My little guy loved lap time as much as exploring. ☺️) If your pup is more low-key, I’m happy to snuggle at home with them with all of the hugs and blankets.

About Rachelle B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
House-sitting: I am an extremely tidy person, and will keep your home very clean (if not cleaner than you left it!). :) I’m respectful of each person’s space and very communicative should any questions or concerns arise. Boarding: Cozy home on fenced property that has 10 acres of wooded trails. Home shared with my animal-loving husband, as well as our senior dog, Ace, and sweet kitty, Lucy. Both Ace and Lucy are mild-mannered and get along with other dogs and cats. Pets are always allowed to sleep in the bed with me (unless you prefer that they don’t). I’m also happy to administer meds if required. I’m great at taking them out for playtime or hikes, and I love sending daily photos/updates. Expectations/guidelines are discussed during our meet-n-greet, where I will come to your home to meet you and the crew! :) **Note: If you are happy with my care, your review would be greatly appreciated. No additional tips anticipated, otherwise. :) Thank you.

Information Rachelle B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know the temperament of your pet and whether they require medications or have any special needs. (Dogs with ANY history of biting needs to be disclosed immediately. I do not accept bookings with dogs that may or have bitten people.) Are they used to a feeding or walk schedule? Are there obedience-related behaviors you would like me to adhere to? (Such as not allowing them on the bed or couch etc) Are they friendly with other dogs and people? How are they off-leash? (Are they allowed to run off-leash at a quiet park, or do they require a long-lead?)
A typical day
Activities vary depending on the pet. If they enjoy fetch/tug-of-war, running etc, count me in! If they are more of just a cuddle bug at home, you’ll find me snug as a bug with them. I’m also excellent at snapping photos! ;)

30+ Years Prof. Animal Exp.
Pet care experience
I have been boarding and house-sitting all types of lovely family-members for many years (with all of my many years of additional experience noted below.) I am very good at what I do and have a perfect track record. I am a homesteader with my husband and care for all of our family members (dog, cat, goats, and chickens.) They are all precious to me. I treat other’s pets with the same adoration and care. Experience: I have over 30 years of experience surrounded by dogs, cats, goats, rabbits/small animals, wild birds/chickens, horses, and rescues. I have cared for special needs pets and temperamental pets, and understand that each creature has their own personality and requirements. I give each furry family member time to acclimate to me with their family being away. I carefully observe their temperament, personality, and boundaries to determine whether they require more physical attention or more space to be independent. My biggest priority is their happiness and sense of peace while their family is away. I work around them to give them what they require and to make them feel the most comfortable; and I have the knowledge and experience to confidently do so. :) Communication is one of my top priorities. Some of my experience: • I used to show AKC dogs and ARBA rabbits professionally. • I was the president and one of the obedience trainers for a canine 4-H club. I also assisted in leading a rabbit 4-H club. • I have experience assisting groomers with bath and brushing and nail trimming both dogs and cats. Your furry family member would always be treated as my own family under my care. :)
Reviews

I have only a few people I really trust with my dog and Rachelle is one of the best in the area she cares for your dog like it was her own I can tell my dog loves going over to her house, she's also very good about communicating and sends photos of him to me daily I don't ask for this but I love it, it's always nice seeing he's having a great time while I'm away ☺️ highly recommend Rachelle


This was our second time booking Rachelle to watch our two pups and so happy we did. Rachelle does an amazing job taking care of our dogs, love getting the daily updates including pics and videos especially when we’re away for an extended time. We truly could tell our dogs were so happy to have her there and she goes above and beyond keeping our home in order as well.

Rachelle is truly so wonderful. My pup can have some separation anxiety, but she took such amazing care of him (taking him on hikes & letting him live his best farm buddy life!). He was relaxed & happy when I brought him home. I feel so lucky for the pup & I that she could watch him. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for the best sitter.


Rachelle was a terrific sitter for our two pups. She kept us informed with pics and a video and left the house spotless. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to book her services.
