Pet Sitter in Garland, Texas

Hello! My Name is Rachel Brown! I'm an experienced boarder listed Rover..... with 65 5 star reviews. Come check me out! https://....com/ AVAILABILITY ~We are here all holidays! 24/7, 7 days a week, 365 days a year! ~There will always be someone to supervise pets boarding with us, and make sure everyone is fed, safe, and comfortable, all without having to be put in a crate like at a vet's office all day! ~And of course we all make sure that all of the animals have plenty of cuddles, walk time, and treats. BIO/HISTORY Hello, I'm Rachel! My mother Karan, my fiance Jason, and I all moved into a new house last year that has now become pet sitting central! I have been pet sitting for over 6 years. I joined my mother who has pet sat for over 15 years, and started with just dog walks and visits but now we are both full time sitters working out of our home and our pet sitting business has both of us dog walking, boarding animals, pet sitting/visiting, staying overnight in client's homes, vet transporting, you name it, we do it! I have stayed in clients homes for extended periods of time to care for animals on strict schedules and diets, as well as overall caring for the home and clean up. I have boarded many different types of dogs in my home, sometimes at the same time, and juggling all the needs and requests of their owners has never been an issue! I keep all information organized and follow all clients preferences and know their concerns. We are always available to help with your pets! Both of us LOVE animals, all animals, so being able to take care of peoples beloved pets for them really makes us happy! We love our jobs! Clients pets feel like our own and we care for them like they really are! Even Jason, my fiance, helps out with dogs that come over, and I've caught him many times cuddling with the teeny dogs when no ones looking! [Personal Skills] Outside of pet sitting skills or experiences, since I am full-time I am available any day of the week, any holiday, any time of the day or night. I'm a huge night owl to the point where I end up reversing my schedule, and then switching it back again. So if you need a pet visit at 2 AM, or 11 AM, my schedule can accommodate! And then add on top of that the fact that my mother is also in the same home, available to help!

They are welcome to wander into the connecting kitchen, halls, bedroom (where they can to get on the beds), as well as the study/studio where my fiance Jason often is ready to snuggle or wrestle every time! __[Backyard/Porch]__ The backyard is fully fenced in with a separate side dog run. It has a shaded back porch, bushes along the fence for privacy, and a large pecan tree to shade everything in the summer. They are welcome to dig as many holes as they would like since the pecan tree makes growing grass almost impossible! At night the backyard, side paths, and porch are fully lit. ___[Garage/Dog Room]____ Last but not least, I decided to change the old boring garage into a separate comfortable area for dogs to hang out/sleep/eat/just be, as well as into an open doggie playroom. The garage is climate controlled, and is furnished with another set of living room furniture. Dogs in the garage have their own 2 couches, soft blankets, food and water bowls, area rug to roll on, and the coffee table to either jump on (like ours does....) or to chew on for the more anxiety prone dogs! The room is stocked with stuffed animals, dog toys, and if a dog is alone they will have bones to chew on. The garage also has several sized crates for dogs that do better sleeping crated. This room acts as a second area when we are boarding more than two dogs, but works great for dogs that need their own space during the day, when they sleep, or eat. (All dogs are switched out so that everyone has time inside with us, time to wander the backyard under supervision, as well as to relax or play in the dog room.) HOW WILL DOGS HAVE FUN/BE COMFORTABLE __[Dog play time]__ Dogs that are other dog friendly will have a grand time with our playful Puggle, who gets along with every dog the moment they walk in the door! If your dog is friendly, or eventually warms up to other dogs, most likely they will play all day long until somebody passes out, or we have to break them up into separate couches for nap time! But don't worry, if your dog does not like other dogs, we have several places within the home and yard where they can have their own space to play. __[Dog Treats/Toys]___ Almost every square foot of our house and yard has dog toys, stuffed animals, chew toys, and we have many bags of dog treats and ham bones ready for good behavior. Bones are given out when everyone needs a little bit of time by themselves, as most dogs get a little greedy with the ham bones! There is usually someone in the house playing tug-of-war with a dog, or giving a belly scratch. __[Walks/Runs]__ If your dog needs a little bit extra exercise, we have a great neighborhood as well as a park right behind our house. Let us know if you want your dog to have some time on the leash. Don't worry if your dog is not good at not pulling the leash or barking at strangers. Our Puggle puts up the same fit! I am also a runner, and im able to take stronger dogs, any dog who need to just expel energy! __[Comfort]__ Dogs spend a lot of time in our home where they will have free roam of our living room, kitchen, and most of the bedroom. The house and garage play room are climate controlled. They are allowed to get on the couches inside and in the dog garage, as well as the bed, and if that's where they fall asleep at night, they often end up staying there unless you want them to be crated Our living room has carpet and the garage has an area rug and dog bed for dogs who are trained not to limb on furniture. If a dog needs to be kept away from ours when its bed time, or a new dog boarding with us, we have baby gates to section off multiple parts of the house and can use the garage/play room as another space where they can be comfortable and get a little peace!
