More about us…

Hi! My number one passion in life is dogs. I totally LOVE them, which is why The Dog Sitter exists! The only hard thing about owning a dog is knowing what to do with them if you want to go away. That’s where I come in.

I will welcome your dog into my home with open arms and care for them like my own. I take a maximum of two dogs at a time, which means that your best mate will have lots of attention with unlimited cuddles and plenty of outdoor play time.

I’ve been looking after dogs for many years, and that includes my own. I have a beautiful 8 year old pup Mabel who loves all dogs. She has a wonderful nature and is a super friendly and submissive little girl.

Our home has a large fully fenced yard with plenty of room to fetch a ball and play with toys. Your loved one will have a holiday of it’s own while you’re away!

We’re here to help you. Please get in touch to discuss your dog’s needs.

“Rachel has looked after both my & my mum’s dogs when we have been away, from a one night stay, to over a week. She cares for them as if they were her own and sends photo updates where they are often having more fun than at home! If you are going away and need somewhere for your doggos to stay where they will be loved and cared for, I highly recommend Rachel.”

Lara Pearce

“Rachel took my dog Sage in when I had to relocate to W.A. She cared for her full time until I got settled and was able to take her back to W.A. with me. She did an excellent job. She absolutely loves dogs and I would recommend Rachel from ‘The Dog Sitter’ to anyone.”

James Bruce

“If it wasn’t for you I don’t know what I would have done. It’s great knowing that you are there for whenever I want to go away again. Thank you.”

Darren Smith

“We went away for 5 days and I entrusted my two Foxy’s into Rachel’s care. She went above and beyond in making them (and me) feel comfortable. I have some beautiful photos of their time with her. We would definitely use Rachel again.”

Tiff Bretag

“Our Kelpie Jack adores Rachel as she has looked after him on and off since he was a pup. He is now 14 and still goes crazy every time he sees her. I can recommend Rachel’s dog sitting services 100%.”

Lisa Groom

“THANK YOU SO MUCH. Tucker had a ball and now has a new best friend in Mabel. We were tempted to take her home with us but I don’t think you would allow that!”
