If your pet is happy, I'm happy!

Pet care experience

I joined Rover because I love animals and want to take care of them. I have worked at an animal hospital, a boarding and training center in Chicago, and have volunteered at a cat shelter. I am looking to go to Veterinary school in the future and I am very interested in animal behavior. I love learning about the different behaviors and personalities of animals! In my free time I go on runs, play sports, or spend time outside by Lake Michigan. I try to run daily and do other activities after work or on weekends. I can definitely bring your dog with me! If I can find good trails to go on around Chicago I am able take your dog on hikes. I am available at a moment’s notice when I’m pet sitting. I will be ready to answer my phone if you have a last-minute change of plans or if you just need to get in contact with me. I want to answer any questions you have as soon as possible! I also have experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, turtles, and rabbits. I would be happy to care for any of our pets! I cannot wait to get to know your pet! Nothing makes me happier in life than animals, so what more would I want than taking care of them on Rover? :)

I could never thank Rachel enough. She took a very good care of our cat Roquette during her drop-in visits and home sitting. She sent us pictures and videos. She was very reactive when we exchanged messages, I highly recommend her!

Rachel was so great with my cat - I would absolutely have her back next time I’m out of town!

Rachel is a very gentle, caring, and responsible person and somebody I would absolutely feel comfortable leaving my dog with. She handles any situation she faces with calmness and thoughtfulness. Rachel would be an excellent addition to the Rover team.

Information Rachel D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to have a meet and greet with all of my clients before the first stay. I would like learn your dog’s likes and dislikes, such as where they like to be scratched, if they have a favorite toy, and if they like long walks or are more of a couch potato. It would also be good to know if they have sensitive areas or destroying tendencies. Is your dog aggressive with food, toys, people, dogs, or other animals? I have no breed preferences whatsoever and love dogs of all sizes!

A typical day

I will cater my walks and playtime to whatever your dog likes to do most. I enjoy going to parks, but most likely would like to take your pup on a walk by the lake. I am also a runner, so if your dog is up for it I would love to take them on a run! I work in Rosemont from 6:30am to 3pm, Monday through Friday I will feed your pup and take them out before work, and I will take them out immediately when I get home. After work I can take them for out a nice long walk or extended play session, or I can just hang out with them at my home! I usually go to bed around 9 or 10pm, so your dog would go to bed around that time as well.
