We have worked with Rachel and Canine Comfort for a few years now and we will not use anyone else. Our dogs don't do well boarding, so we had to find another solution where they could stay home (when we travel). Enter Rachel and Canine Comfort. Ever since we've started working with Rachel, our anxiety and the dog's anxiety has gone away. Our dogs, who are all a little skittish of strangers, absolutely adore Rachel. In fact, next to my wife, I think all four of them like her more than me. They're sad when she leaves. Rachel is a total pro, an animal lover, a great person and I can't recommend her enough.

This sweet lady almost treats my Baby better than I! The exception though is I pay for everything...lol. The pricing is great. My cameras automatically pick up motion, so I always see her with my dog. Only THE BEST for my Baby!

Rachel has been caring for our beloved fur babies for years, and we truly couldn’t imagine entrusting them to anyone else. She consistently exceeds expectations with her attentiveness, compassion, and reliability. She’s an exceptional communicator, always confirming schedules in advance and keeping us updated with thoughtful messages, adorable photos, and sweet videos that bring us peace of mind while we’re away. Our cats (and especially our dearly missed dog) absolutely adore her. Rachel’s flexibility and ability to adapt to changes in their routines make her an invaluable part of our lives. Her level of care is unmatched, and it’s clear she treats our pets as if they were her own. We even planned a major overseas trip around Rachel’s availability. Knowing our babies are in her loving and capable hands allows us to travel without worry.

We have been using Rachel for years to take care of our dogs when we are out of town. She is reliable, responsible, attentive, and caring with our dogs. Leaving fur babies when traveling can be very difficult and nerve wracking, however with Rachel I feel at ease our dogs are in good hands. Definitely will continue to use her services and can recommend her to others!

I wouldn’t choose any other pet sitting company. Rachel treated our puppy Oliver like her own, and you can definitely tell she loves caring for canines. She cared for Oliver for 2 nights/3 days. She sent me pictures and videos at least twice a day each day. Her place is perfectly set up to care for your fur baby, and she’s very accommodating to your and your pet’s needs. I highly recommend her services.
