A well walked pup is a happy pup!

Pet care experience

*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 was a volunteer at the Denver animal shelter for 5 years performing multiple roles: walking, cleaning, socializing, attention, working with dogs to make them more adoptable and well behaved. Before the shelter I lived with a Jack Russel terrier who I walked several times a week for my roommate. I also am a lifelong animal lover of all types of animals and love to lavish attention on any animal. 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 2 cats, one is an elder requiring pills daily. 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).

I highly recommend Rachel! She is amazing with my energetic dog, Ollie. Ollie loves her, and I always know he’s in good hands!

Rachel has been looking after our boys (2 cats) for a couple years. They love her and she provides the best updates. Wonderful to have the peace of mind knowing the cats are in good hands

This was our second time leaving our pup with Rachel, and I would absolutely do it again. She sends so many pictures and updates so you can rest assured your pet is in good hands. 😊 I highly recommend her!

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.
