Dog lover for life
Pet care experience
I am the girl that walks up to you while you’re walking your dog in public and asks to pet it. I have a strong love for dogs; animals in general. I had a few dogs growing up and hope to get one of my own soon. I love to play catch, chill on the couch, and cuddle in bed with these furry animals. I have a hard time leaving the house when I am dogsitting friends/families dogs so your dog won’t have much alone time when with me. I have sat dogs sizing anywhere between a Pomeranian to a Weimaraner so I am comfortable with any sized dog.
Reviews
Rachael was great! I went out of town for the weekend and Rosie spent two days with her. She sent pictures to keep me updated throughout her stay and was patient with us when I was running behind on my way to pick her up. A trustworthy caretaker for my little baby was exactly what we needed when I was away! Will definitely use her in the future when needed!
Rachael took great care of our boy - she sent us lots of pictures and provided updates. She was attentive to him and didn’t have any issues following our care schedule and preferences. Recommended to all pet parents!
Repeat sitter for Opie 4-5 times now, he loves being there! Highly recommend!
Rachel is great, opie has loved going there both times we’ve had her watch him! Will absolutely keep working with her.

Safety, trust & environment
My apartment building is easily accessible to the outside for potty breaks. If your pup doesn’t like other dogs, I do a great job of keeping your dog distracted while the other dogs pass by. I sometimes feel like a mom with dogs because I always have to know where they are and what they’re up too so they will be closely watched.
Home
Information Rachael J. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how old it is, if it’s potty trained, if it has separation anxiety and/or barks a lot, if it likes to get into things or tears up furniture, and if it cares to be picked up/held or not.
A typical day
I love to play tug of war or fetch with your pup as well as be lazy and cuddle on the couch. A few walks will be implemented in a day and lots of pets, scratches and attention.

Availability
I currently work in Oak Brook, IL and am in the office most days but have a flexible schedule. My fiancé works from home on Fridays. Weekdays are good if your pup can be home alone for 8 hours and on the weekends, we are home majority of the day.
