Information Rachel K. would like to know about your pet

Energy level, likes and dislikes, or any special needs or concerns. My favorite breeds are terrier, boxers and american bulldog but I appreciate all animals and from my time in shelter I know to pay close attention to what their individual personality is like.

A typical day

I love exploring on foot and will seek out green areas and parks when walking your dog. Depending on their personality, they can stop to smell the flowers or we can play fetch inside. I'm up for jogging and romping and will follow your dogs lead as far as their energy level. New to Chicago so I like long walks and will be happy to have company for sightseeing.

Pet care experience

@chicagopetadventures on IG *Note: I care for cats, dogs and any type of animal. *No car, I take public transportation* (impossible to do exact times I need a range) I am a lifelong animal lover of all types of animals and love to lavish attention on animals. I love to play and give your pet a good experience. I grew up with many animals from rodents, to cats to dogs. I currently have 1 cat. I am also a gentle and empathetic person who enjoys helping others and making the world a more enjoyable place. I love work of any kind with animals and it is important to me to do an excellent job in taking care of your special loved one(s).

Rachel was attentive and caring when taking care of my geriatric cat. She somehow managed to get Kitty's transdermal medication on her ear also! We couldn't be more grateful. <3

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.
