Responsible, reliable pet care
Pet care experience
I have been around dogs since I was born; my family had a 100 lb collie named Topaz, who was our snuggle buddy, our best companion, and often a great pretend horse! I now own two sweet Australian shepherds named Arroyo & Sage, but I am a friend to all breeds and dogs of all sizes/temperaments. I also have a two-year-old cat named Cheepers, so I'm happy to look after your cats as well. Back in Chicago, I walked dogs and would often pet-sit for friends' animals while they were away. I'm that person who stops dogs on the street to say "hi" and I believe that having a loving compassion for all beings is crucial to living a fulfilling life. I own my own business and work from home, so I am available and flexible depending on each dog & dog owner's needs. As a dog walker & caretaker, I believe it's most important to communicate openly with the pet owner and take interest in the uniqueness of each dog. Once I know what activities your dog loves, what commands they know best, any medical history, and what your expectations are, we can have a great doggy-human friendship that offers fun, safety, and convenience for you and your pet. I am available any time on weekdays and most weekends, too.
Reviews
Great as usual!
Rachael was quick to respond and helped us out on a short notice. She was great with the dogs and I felt comfortable leaving for the weekend and not having any worries.
Rachael was perfection! She pairs utmost professionalism with a clear love of animals. She took careful notes during our meet-and-greet and kept me very informed while I was gone. There was at least one picture from every visit! I never once worried about my dog and cat - I knew they were in capable and caring hands. The boys almost seemed disappointed when it was me coming through the door - "Oh, you again?" I'll take it! :) Would ask her back in a heartbeat!

Information Rachael F. would like to know about your pet
Before taking care of your dog, I'd like to know any important medical history, times they typically eat, their normal bathroom rhythm, activities they particularly enjoy, and commands they respond to.
A typical day
I love taking dogs on adventures around the neighborhood, to the park for a rousing game of frisbee, or even out on the hiking trails! Depending on your dog's activity level and temperament, I'm more than happy to get creative and take your dog on an ultimate adventure or just take it easy with a leisurely stroll.
