Although there is a nice buffer of woods near my house, the yard is not fenced (hopefully soon). I’ll be sure to keep your pup on a leash just in case! There’s an enclosed deck for sunbathing and watching chipmunks.

Information Rachel P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or requirements and I’ll be happy to accommodate. Are they well socialized with other dogs? Can they hike off-leash in the woods? How is their recall?

A typical day

I’d love to take your dog for a hike on one of the nearby trails. There’s always an opportunity to swim in the lake or cruise around the neighborhood.

Pet care experience

I'm Rachel, a writer with a flexible schedule and a love of all things canine. I live with my husband, and my chocolate Labrador retriever, Ellie, in our West Shore cabin near Homewood. I signed up for Rover because dog sitting helps me get my fix for having a doggy harem. I would love to shower your dog with attention and affection. I volunteer at the local humane society, so I'm very adept at adapting to your dog's needs. I particularly love active dogs, and I'm happy to take your pup on hikes and swims in the lake. I'm also happy to hang out and have a more relaxing day with older, less active pups. Ellie (13) is very well-socialized, and she gets along well with dogs of all sizes.

Thank you Rachel for the great communication! Both drop off and pick up went super smooth. Our dog, Leila, looked like she had a great time with you! Thank you for sending those sweet pictures of walks and fun play time with your doggie, Ellie. We will definitely request to have Leila stay with you again. :)

Rachel was great and very attentive to my dog who has some separation anxiety, especially with it being a holiday, I really appreciate the care she gave him!

Rachel is a fantastic dog sitter! She truly loves animals and is always planning a fun adventure for our pup, Seneca. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her! Rachel is responsible, trustworthy, and caring. Your dogs will be in good hands!
