Our girls always have the best time with Rachel! Their tails start wagging when we turn onto her street and they don’t stop for hours after we bring them home. Rachel keeps our girls safe, happy and entertained with creative enrichment activities. She’s the most popular sitter in our neighborhood!
Sydney took exceptional care of our 7yr. old, mini golden doodle. She is prompt, courteous and wonderfully warm with people and pets alike. From our first meeting, I knew our dog was in great hands, which made our time away relaxing and worry-free. Her communication and photo updates were top-notch throughout the stay. This was our dog's first time staying with Sydney and we look forward to booking with her again!
I highly recommend Rachael for dog sitting. She took the best care of Gatsby - she sent pictures daily and took him for lots of walks.Now that he is home, I can tell that he misses hanging out with her goldendoodle, Rosie. They were very cute together. Thanks, Rachael!
Vicki and William were great with Eddie and Gabbie! For their first visit, Vicki was kind, loving, patient, and made sure they were comfortable. After losing our sitter of over 20 years, we feel very happy and grateful to have found Vicki and William. Eddie and Gabbie look forward to spending more time with them.
