The DogSmith, Dog Training & Pet care

We’ve been bringing our pups to Rachel’s since 2021. We absolutely love the whole team at the Dogsmith. We are very particular about who we trust our pups to and Rachel’s group are the only ones who can fit the bill. One of our pups has allergies so he cannot have treats. We bring carrots for each stay and the girls use them for “treats” during backyard play time. The backyard play area is a pups dream with agility games, kiddie pools, and a fully shaded and turf area. Our pups love to hunt small critters so we feel so much better knowing there isn’t a lot of dirt which bring in bufo toads. We always bring both a bed and a blanket from home so that they feel and smell home. Our pups are crate trained so they don’t mind being crated periodically. They are in larger crates so they have plenty of room. Rachel has different rooms for varying sizes pups, so the smaller ones are away from the larger ones. They even came home learning a new trick and now give us their “paw”. (We certainly didn’t teach them how to do that.) I highly recommend Dogsmith!

I am so thankful I discovered Rachel with DogSmith of Palm Beach County over 7 years ago. I own a very playful Great Dane named Shelly who has not only been attending dayschool 4 days a week but also boards overnight during my absences. She is always happy to visit her other furry friends while there. The facility is managed very well under the care of Rachel and her attentive staff. Facility Manager Hilary is very professional in assisting clients with their scheduling needs. I also enjoy the daily report card which includes photos of Shelly with her playmates. Receiving the reports makes my day! I’m confident and reassured each time Shelly visits the facility because I know she is well taken care of. The staff are very familiar with her needs which gives me piece of mind. I highly recommend her facility to others in need of their pet’s services!

We have.been using Dog Smith in our area for almost 7 years. Our primary reason is the intelligence, experience, and passion that Rachel brings to her work. We perceived that at our first meeting 7 years ago and our respect and admiration for her has continued to grow through these years. When we hand our dogs over to Rachel on the days of our trip departures, the dogs can not wait to jump into her car; as "parents" , we used to be shocked by the dogs enthusiasm for being with her; now we are used to it. Rachel's regular photo reports on our dogs show how happy and well cared for they and how much they enjoy their fellow boarders at her house. Most importantly, we completely trust Rachel's capability and competence to deal with our dogs health needs if they occur when we are away. More than once, one or other has needed a visit to our vet and we have total confidence that the visit will be done on time and Rachel will secure the complete report on what is needed. We have recommended Rachel and her Dog Smith facility to many friends who now experience the same level of assurance of their dogs well-being that we have. We are blessed to have Rachel in our lives.
