Let me know if they have any special needs or preferences. Also I live in an apartment complex with lots of dogs so please let me know if I should be careful around other dogs.

Going in long walks in the morning and evenings when not working from home. Lots of cuddles on the couch when we are home. Recently moved to the Chicago area so they will be my exploring buddy.

Pet care experience

Have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life! Love both equally and will make sure they feel the same amount of love if not more while you are gone. Have been named honorary step mom to many babies in CA, CO, and NY.

This was our puppy’s very first sitting experience. We needed a sitter for a few hours during our trip to Chicago. From the moment we arrived, Zuma jumped right into Rachael’s arms, which immediately made us feel that she was experienced with dogs and had a calming presence. He seemed to feel safe and comfortable with her right away. It looks like he was able to relax and enjoy his time there. We would definitely recommend Rachael to other pet parents.

Rachael takes such wonderful care of my slightly nervous rescue pup! She has become one of my go-to sitters in my neighborhood.

Rachael always does so great with Paris! Makes trips much less stressful knowing my little girl is safe and sound.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
