Rachelle is an excellent dog sitter. Ringo stayed with her for 2 weeks. She gave daily updates with photos, and it was reassuring to know that he was getting regular walks and playtime, and that he was doing well. I highly recommend Rachelle!

Mowgli jumps out of the car to run to her every single time. He gives her 10 stars!

Our dog stayed with Rachelle for a few days and we couldn’t be happier with the care he received. He got playtime and daily walks, and we were sent daily updates with pictures of our boy! I would recommend Rachelle to anyone who needs a dog sitter.
