I am a stay at home dog mom. Your fur babies will get my full attention while you are away. You never have to worry about them feeling alone or scared, I will treat them as my own, and shower them with love.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced in yard with a 6ft fence. I will never leave your dog unattended while they are outside, because safety is my first priority. My three dogs and I will do everything we can to make sure your baby feels right at home. If they have any special care instructions or needs, I will be able to attend to those without hesitation. Our house is quiet house, without any children, or many visitors. If that is something your baby needs, you've come to the right place.

Information Rachelle P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any specific special needs I need to be aware, or attend. Whether it be dietary, medications, help getting around, I'm here for you and your baby. I have experience in all. I always like to get as much information as possible about your pet's needs. Are they afraid of storms, loud noises? Do they have allergies? I consider all these things important for you and them to have a worry free, happy stay in my home.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your your dogs both mentally and physically. We can play in the backyard, take a walk, go to the dog park, work on their commands and tricks, and play with the bountiful toy collection. My larger and medium size dogs are getting up there in age, so they're not as active as they used to be, but Rizzo still has short bursts of energy in him and loves a good game of tug-of- war. We also love to snuggle around here. So, if that's your dog's cup tea, no worries, we do plenty of that as well. If you have a senior dog, and your dog is allowed on furniture, we have a ramp for them to get on and off the bed, and stairs to get on and off the couch. Rizzo came from an abusive home, so he has some anxiety still, and gets quite anxious around male dogs his size or larger. Unfortunately, we're not usually able to sit large males, but we can do a meet and greet and see how he does. I never say never. It really depends on the dogs energy level. I like to be honest about my pets, so when you're looking for a sitter, you get one that will make both you and your dog the most comfortable and happy. If all this sounds like home for you, I'd love to watch your baby while you're away.

Pet care experience

I LOVE dogs, and believe they deserve to be spoiled! I have over 25 years of experience in doing so. I love playing fetch and tug. I love to snuggle and cuddle, and take your pup to the dog park, if allowed, weather permitting. I have recently taken up baking all natural, healthy dog treats, and would love to have your pup's approval on them. I am home full time, so your pet will never be lonely. I also have experience in administering medications and will make the expierience as easy as possible, if needed. Your baby will enjoy a safe and fun time in my care, if they can't be with you, I'll be the next best thing.

5 star sitter. She took my reservation at the last minute as well arranged a meet and greet before our trip. She was very responsive provided updates throughout the day with pictures. Dolly enjoyed her time there. Would recommend having your babies stay with her when you’re away. Thank you again.
