Pet care experience
(if its your first time on Rover ask for my promo code!) Hello💕 My name is Rachelle (like Michelle but with a Ra) I grew up with more dogs than I did people so you can trust I know what I am doing with them💕 Now if you'd like to know a little more about me you can continue reading but if not please reach out to us! We would love to hear from you! I have been taking care of animals my entire life. Dogs specifically. I spent the first 15 years of my life in a family owned dog kennel for rescued pit bulls learning everything from teaching them commands to giving them shots and practicing doggie CPR. Cats I have taken care of about 3/4 of my life and farm animals about 1/2 my life. I was put on this planet to take care of animals.💕 I have pretty bad social anxiety so I may seem weird or be a little awkward with other people but that’s what makes me connect so strongly with animals. I talk to animals more than I do people lmao. They will stay with me whether I'm inside or out. (unless they prefer the chill of the AC I will let them stay inside) I have taken care of animals since I was a baby. It’s all I do. Every single day of my 27+ years of life. It truly IS my life. Since I have been able to be left home alone I have been the one everyone in my life comes to when they need their animals watched whether it be dogs cats horses reptiles birds fish or rodents. I am very attentive. I will keep dogs separated if necessary. I always keep the big dogs and super small dogs separate except for my dog because she is gentle with everyone big or small. My cat has the entire upstairs to herself and a gated area downstairs she can get to for her own safety. I have a subscription to barkbox so I have an endless supply of treats and new toys so no worries if they are toy-destructive!
Reviews
Rachelle & Christopher D. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Rachelle and Christopher were the sweetest to my baby puppy. They accommodated to my time, and were very understanding with my schedule. Denver had the best time playing in their backyard with their doggy.
Rachelle and Christopher were absolutely wonderful! This was our pups first time being boarded and they made it easy and took such great care of our girl. They followed up daily with pics and and updates. We will definitely being reaching back out to them in the near future! Great experience!
Rachelle was great even after we faced some issues she still supported us. We look forward to working with you in the future.

Safety, trust & environment
I’ve been told I’m very particular. I will do everything possible to ensure the safety of both your pets and mine during their stay. We have a small fenced area that we mainly use for the smaller dogs. Dogs will never be unattended outside and will only ever be left alone inside on the rare occasion we need to be somewhere.

Information Rachelle & Christopher D. would like to know about your pet
Are your pets on any medications? Are they updated on all of their shots? Are they on flea and tick prevention? What word or phrase do you tell them to make them go potty? Does your pet mark their territory inside? Would you like them crated at night? Does your pet chew on furniture? Is your pet an escape artist? (slipping collars/harnesses off or chewing leashes) Please even if you don’t think it is necessary, I will feel comfortable having your emergency contact and preferred vet info. I can be overly cautious when it comes to animals. Also- if any concerns arise during a booking please do not hesitate to let me know so I can work with you. Just please be nice and remember I am here to help you.
A typical day
I wake up at 8-9am every morning, take the dogs out to potty, come in and feed them, let them chill while I check my emails, go potty again and play, come inside for nice doggy naps while I work on my pc, cook dinner and ready their second meals, then around 8 we go out for a 1-3 hour walk before coming back and getting ready for bed.
