About Rachel

Hi!

We are Rachel and Justin, an animal loving married couple (31 years old and 39 years old) who are proud fur parents of a 14 year old Japanese Spitz (Mary), 3 year old Japanese spitz (Nadia) and 6 year old dog friendly Siberian cats (Kristoff and Ana). We have grown up around many animals and have years of experience caring for budgies, rabbits, fish, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. We are passionate about providing the best care and love for every animal no matter the size. You can rest assured that our place will be a second home to your fur baby.

All dogs and cats must be up to date with vaccinations, worming, flea and tick treatments. For cats, they will be placed in a room with some Feliway when they first arrive to help them settle in. They will be slowly introduced to more space in our home as they settle into their new environment. All food, treats and bedding must be provided by you. For smaller animals, we currently only accept rabbits and guinea pigs. They will be given lots of hugs, and allowed free roaming inside the home and out in the backyard with supervision (depending on what they are used to at home).

Pet daycare is from 8am-5.30pm and an extension of time will cost $15. I can also offer to groom your dog before pick up. Please note, I will not clip your dog's fur, but will brush, wash and blow dry your dog using Rufus and Coco pet products.

*OUR PROMISE TO YOU* You will receive daily updates. This includes photos of your fur baby or a short video clip.

Please contact me if you have anymore questions.

Dog Boarding
Ellie, 2023-01-09

We left our beautiful girl with Rachel over the Christmas and New Year period while we were away in NZ visiting family. We were so nervous at first as it's the longest we've ever been away from her or had her stay with other people but Rachel made the transition so seamless and easy! Rachel is incredibly consistent with her communication and put in effort to help our dog socialise with her lovely little dogs too which we were so grateful for (she missed out on the early stages of socialisation due to COVID).

We honestly couldn't be happier with how wonderful the whole experience went for our dog and how calm and happy she was when we came to pick her up. Lovely home, backyard, family and other two puppy friends, would HIGHLY recommend! Rachel puts in the extra time, effort and care for your pet and they are absolutely in safe hands. We can't say thank you enough 😊

We can't speak highly enough of Rachel. She could not have cared more for Princeif he was her own dog. It was great to get little movies of him whilst we were away. We would have no hesitation in recommending Rachel to anyone and hopefully will get the opportunity to utilise her pet sitting services the next time we are away.
