Furbabies are my life!

Pet care experience

I have always owned dogs for as long as I can remember. I am kind and consistent and have done extensive research on training dogs the basics: potty training, sit, stay, down, come, heel place/bed, leave it, kennel training and a few other tricks (paw, touch, sit up etc). I have started fostering for a dog rescue this year and have watched a few dogs for other fosters and a dog I had fostered (since I knew their personality). I can bathe your pup if requested (must provide shampoo and request in advance of booking). If your canine stays at least 5 days, the bath is free. Though my yard is not fenced, it is treated for pests and parasites to keep the fleas and other bugs away. I do work full time however my boyfriend typically arrives before I get home and is able to let the pups out for potty time. I do have different sized kennels and can accommodate most any sized dog. I believe I am well equipped and knowledgeable in taking care of another person's fur-baby and am willing to continue ongoing basic training while you are away.

Information Rachelle J. would like to know about your pet

I must know if the dog is aggressive towards men, children, other dogs etc. It may not be a deal breaker, however I need to know the situations that might occur and how to avoid them (dog fights, biting people etc). Your furbaby MUST be updated on all shots. I may request to see shot records reflecting rabies, parvo, kennel cough etc so please be prepared with those in hand. As I'm sure you can understand I do this to protect your pup as well as my own.

A typical day

I live near Gray's Lake so we could take walks there if pup parent gives permission (some dogs are frightened of the bicycles, skateboarders, roller blades etc)
