Rachel @Dip'n Dogs Hydrotherapy is amazing. She made our beagle feel right at home in the water and was very careful with her. You can tell that Rachel really cares about what she does! It was easy to make appointments and re-schedule if I needed to. We will be there to swim next season!

Rachel is truly a gem! During Covid we wanted to find a place where our pups could get some exercise and cool down. Rachel was so great with our dogs and they had a blast at her place. We highly recommend Rachel to anyone who is in need. One of our dogs is having CCL surgery and we will be reaching out for her rehabilitation services now.
Rachel is a fantastic human. She is so professional and good at what she does. My dog is absolutely terrified of the water and Rachel took the time to get her comfortable and put up with my dog climbing all over here. She's super friendly and price is absolutely reasonable. Thank you so much!!

We took our greyhound, Tico, for a swimming lesson to make sure he knew what to do if he ever fell into deep water. Rachel was great at making him comfortable, and had him (awkwardly) swimming like a fish in no time! We definitely feel better about him being around water in the future. Plus he looked adorable- especially when he saw a squirrel and decided swimming was now easy! Would recommend Dip’n Dogs to anyone in the Orlando area!
Rachel is very a very knowledgeable and caring hydrotherapist. I take my dog to get therapy for his onset hip dysplasia. He seems to like the therapy, as Rachel has a soft, reassuring attitude toward his therapy. Hope fully in time, he will start showing the benefits of hydrotherapy.
