Last minute booking and Raechel was wonderful, I couldn’t have asked for a better!! She had two sweet little dogs that were friendly and got along just fine with my sometimes cranky old man! The pics she would send me made me totally reassured that our boy was being well cared for. It’s important to us that our lil boy is loved and cared for while we are gone and raechel did just than! Thank you!!!
Rain was absolutely amazing with my Siberian Husky! From the moment we met, I could tell Rain had a calm and confident presence that immediately put both me and my dog at ease. Huskies can be high-energy and a bit stubborn, but Rain handled her with patience, experience, and genuine care. While I was away, Rain kept me updated with regular check-ins, photos, and even little notes about how my pup was doing — it gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in such great hands. When I came home, my husky was happy, well-exercised, and clearly well cared for. Rain is reliable, communicative, and truly loves animals. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!
