Licence No: LI18_007008 Welcome to Rachel's Pet Services!

My name is Rachel & I have worked in the animal industry for 21 years since leaving school. Animals are my passion & I simply could not see myself working in any other industry. I studied for 4 years to achieve a BTEC National Diploma in Animal Management & then a Foundation Degree in Zoological Conservation Management. After 16 years of working hard for other businesses, in 2016 I decided to take

the plunge & officially set up my own Pet Services Business & I haven't looked back since! Through my work & my own hobbies I have gained a great deal of experience working with many different animals, ranging from domestic dogs/cats, reptiles/amphibians, small mammals, birds, ponies/horses etc. Having worked in a reputable local kennels & cattery for 5 years I gained a great deal of experience which formed the basis of my present day knowledge. I am very competent with dogs & have a good understanding of their psychology. I have a rescue dog of my own, Brandy (12 year old chocolate Labrador), who came to me with issues. He is very dog sociable & welcomes any other dog into our home...... he even shares his beds & toys!! :)

Due to my interests I have gained a great deal of experience with exotics. Over the years I have rescued & bred different reptiles & am not fazed by caring for any such animal! Infact......... I encourage it! More unusually, I am competent in handling & caring for owls & birds of prey & have 10 years experience of working with them. As the senior staff member, I managed a rehabilitation hospital & the overall health/welfare of a very large collection of owls/mammals in my previous job. On numerous occasions I have lived on site during holiday periods for business owners in order to oversee the day to day management of the resident animals. I have also house-sat many times for private home owners. I have several positive references available for you to view. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me. I love & treat any animal under my care as if they were my own & you can rest assured I take that privilege very seriously, providing a professional service at all times. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or queries, I am very approachable/flexible & will always try to meet any requests or specialist enquiries. If you require something I haven't mentioned.....please just ask :)

I look forward to being of service to you in the future.

We do hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas & we’d like to wish you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 🥂🎉🐾

Thank you for our lovely Xmas cards, presents & well wishes…….. we have been spoilt! 🙏💗🎁🎄

It was a difficult festive period for us, but was made so much better thanks to all of our lovely doggy guests! They have kept us very busy & have all been a pleasure to care for! Featured below are the lovely dogs from our New Year’s wknd! 💗🐾

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your business & for keeping us so incredibly busy for another year! We never take it for granted & really appreciative your support! Particularly when the economy is becoming increasingly difficult for us all. 🙏🐾

I’d also like to thank you personally for your patience. I am the CEO, the receptionist, the accounts manager, the front of house, the doggy taxi, the dog carer, the cleaner, the veterinary assistant, the dog walker, the laundry operator, the behaviourist, the photographer, the groomer, the researcher & the poo picker! Just to name a few! (If it wasn’t for the support from Aarron I would never eat or sleep! 😂🙈). It is more than a full time occupation & there are simply never enough hours in the day! I really apologise that sometimes it takes a little while to get back to your enquiries, but the dogs in our care are & will always be, the priority. I will however, always get back to you & I really do appreciate your patience in this 🙏💗🐾

We have sadly lost so many beautiful old faces this year including our gorgeous Brandy & we feel the pain with every loss 😔😢 We miss them all terribly & like to think of them all reunited, running freely together again 💗🌈🐾

We have of course welcomed some new faces along the way too & look forward to seeing more of those this year…… as well as our wonderful regulars who truly are the back bone of this business! 🙏🐾🥰

🎉🐾 Here’s to a happy, yappy 2024!! 🐾🎉

Thank you all so much for your kind & caring thoughts & words. We knew Brand’s was a popular boy, but gosh…… we were quite overwhelmed! 💞🙏
We’re ever so appreciative & it’s really helped us get through a tough period 🙏🐾💔

We’ve managed to donate Brandy’s food & meds & supplements to worthy recipients, but I don’t know of anyone that uses this supplement?! 🤔

Cobalaplex Vitamin B12 supplement.
If any of your dogs/cats take them or you know of someone else, then please put them in touch with us! 🙏

Many thanks 🥰🐾

It’s taken me a little while to post this because we still can’t quite come to terms with it & I’ve struggled to find the words, but we needed to let you all know. We are devastated to say we recently had to let our gorgeous Brandy boy go 😔💔🐾🌈

He was diagnosed with a tumour on his spleen & a few days later we had to make the hardest decision to let him go before he began to suffer. One of the toughest days of our lives 😔😢💔

Thankfully we managed to spend a lovely last few days with him…… visiting the beach, his favourite walk at Cardinham woods & saying goodbye to all of his special people & paw friends 🙏🥰🐾

Brandy was such a gentle soul. He wore his heart on his sleeve & I don’t think we’ll ever meet another dog like him 😔 He had such a big fan club & he was the best dog, best boy……………… our boy. We feel like he has taken apart of us with him 💔🌈 🐾😔

Coming through the front door without being greeted by the happiest boy holding one of his beloved collection of soft toys in his mouth for us, is breaking our hearts on a daily basis 💔🐾🥺

Our only consolation is to know that he is reunited with Poppy & we know for sure they’ll be running freely, causing havoc & Poppy will be barking of course……. & Brandy will be barking alongside her for no reason other than to back her up…… because that’s just what he did 💞🐾

He was the perfect ambassador for the doggy hotel & he LOVED greeting all of our clients, he always thought people had come to see him! 🙈😂 He was great at settling the “newbies” in on their first day. Many of our regulars were very bonded with Brandy & will miss him just as much as we do 😔💔🐾

Until we meet again Brands……. 💔🌈🐾🥺😘

Wow….. and just like that we have a teenager in the house! Time flies by too quickly! 🥺🐾🙈Happy 13th Birthday Brandy boy!...

Brandy wants to remind you all that the Pet hotel will be closing for 3 weeks from the 7th May! 👈 🏨🐾

Brandy will be taking a well-earned break (eh hmm!) from his secretarial duties & closing the diary to bookings & enquiries. 🤓📔

If you have any imminent bookings to make, please get them into “Brandy” this week……… he won’t respond once he’s sipping a G&T by the pool! 😉🍸☀️🐾🙏

Got pretty darn close to getting everyone on the platforms for a group pic today, but the beautiful Harley didn’t want to show the others up with her pretty spots! 🙈😂
So she posed with handsome old boy Fen instead! 💗🐾
Happy Easter everyone, hope you all have a lovely bank holiday weekend! 🥰🐾🐣

What a lovely day we had today! Beautifulllllll weather, lovely doggies & a birthday party! ☀️🐾🥳

Millie is the baby of our regular day-boarders & today she had her first birthday!! 🥳 She was lucky enough to spend the day with some of her closest pals & especially her little bestie Rio! 💕🐾💕

I pictured in my head a row of dogs sat with their heads tilted and hats positioned perfectly for this post…….. of course that was not the case!! 😆😆
The gang did well though & had lots of fun with their hats! 😂 Millie the birthday girl especially loved her outfits! I didn’t think she’d keep a hat on for a split second, but she kept it on for ages! 🥰

Once the doggies started to abandon their hats and “leave the party” I couldn’t help but laugh at Brandy. As a carnage of hats and dogs started to ensue around him, he remained in the same place, with his hat positioned perfectly, waiting patiently incase another treat appeared for him! 🤣🙈 Bless him! 😂💕
Meanwhile Oscar was trying to eat his hat, Blue wee’d on his! Maude used hers like a jousting weapon! Rio & Hunter’s became a necklace…… Daisy lost hers around her neck & Archie continued to pose proudly in his until I took it off him! 😂

Once most of the doggies left the party, Millie and Rio snuggled down for a little rest as they often do at the end of their daycare 💕

I laughed a lot today!!!!! I hope some of these pics make you all laugh too! 😁

Happy 1st Birthday Millie!!! 🥳🐾💕

🐾🎅🏻🎄Merry Xmas everyone!!🎄🎅🏻🐾

We hope you’ve all had the most fantastic day & over indulged as much as we have! 🥂🎄💞
I’m sure all of our doggy clients have been spoiled & deservedly so! 🐾🎄🥰

Thank you so much for all our gifts & lovely cards! It is very kind of you all 🙏🎄🎁

We couldn’t resist a little Xmas dress up with some of our doggies before we closed for xmas & today, Brandy of course, is never one to be left out …….. hope the pics make you chuckle as much as they did us! 😂🐕🎄🎅🏻🥰

Well this was a lovely way to finish my day today! 😻😻

This is Lily & what a stunning kitten she is! Her mum has quite rightly called me in a couple of times to clip Lily’s nails......... kitten’s nails grow very quickly & they can easily get caught on objects around the home. Equally it is so important to get kittens & puppies used to having their nails done from a very early age, to maintain healthy nails & so it doesn’t become a stressful experience when they’re older! I can’t reiterate enough how important this is 🙏🐈 🐕✂️

Lily is already enjoying her “nail sessions” because she gets cuddles & fuss & playtime with toys afterwards! 😊

As you can see from the pics she was quite keen to “help” with the nail clipping process! 😂😻💕

Check out those beautiful eyes!! 👀😯😻
