Pet care experience
Hello all, Welcome to my profile! I’m Rachel (Ray for short), born & raised north of Lansing & currently residing in Potterville, MI. Long time animal lover & enthusiast; safety & happiness are my top priorities while caring for your pet. I look forward to meeting you & your furry friend(s)! My love of animals began early; my family adopted Trixie (a sweet & goofy Shih Tzu puppy) when I was only 2. Basically for the next 15 years I would ask my parents to adopt every animal in sight, to which they generally said ‘No, honey’ (lol). I continued to ask anyway and my interest kept growing. Besides Trixie, we adopted a couple of kittens & cats over the years (including but not limited to the infamous Candynut), an assortment of fish, hamsters, and an adorable tiny water frog. So many great childhood memories with animals, which I am forever thankful for. In 2010, a couple years after graduating high school and attending community college, I moved to Colorado where I immediately began volunteering as a dog walker at local & infamous shelter, Maxfund. A few years later, I adopted Frankie, a husky mix rescue from New Mexico! Frankie & I moved to Chicago in 2016. I started working at a doggie daycare here and gained experience with a great variation of breeds and temperaments. I have now been working as a full-time dog walker & pet care professional for 3+ years, serving the northwest side of Chicago. This past December, I adopted Peanut; a husky mix from Joliet. Frankie is now 6 years old and Peanut 1 year. We’re a very happy family and love meeting new friends; send me a message to set up a complimentary Meet & Greet today!
Reviews
Ray housesat for me while I went out of town over Thanksgiving and I couldn't be happier! She did a great job caring for my kitty and pup. Definitely reccomend her and will continue to have her walk my pup and petsit in the future!
Rachel was extremely detail-oriented and asked a lot of great questions about our dog's routines at the meet-and-greet. I appreciated how often and quickly she communicated with me. We came home from a long weekend trip to two happy pups! I'd definitely recommend her to others and would hire her again.
I highly recommend Rachel
She loves my pup and my pup loves her! Rachel stayed extra time to make sure he got a last potty before she left (we are working on house training). Highly recommend.

Information Rachel K. would like to know about your pet
A complimentary Meet & Greet in your home is my preference for ensuring a good fit for all parties involved. I ask for transparency concerning behavioral issues such as aggression (toward either other animals or people), serious and/or separation anxiety and any other pertinent information before arriving to meet in person. Admission of behavioral issues will not immediately disqualify you from my service. Communication is key (:
A typical day
Leisurely walks with careful supervision include plenty of sniff time! Cuddles, massages, scratches, play time. Tricks for treats!
