Trustworthy Pet Lover

Pet care experience

Hi! Thank you so much for your interest. I am a third-year medical student who moved to Chicago from Minneapolis. While I do not currently have any pets of my own, caring for others' pets is a great stress reliever and joy for me while in school. I have been a proud, self-employed house and pet caretaker throughout college and beyond. I have practiced for years in maintaining the well-being of my family and friends' pets and homes, and I would love to continue this practice for those in my community now that I am established and feel comfortable in a new city. I am responsible, kind, active, and excited to meet your pets! Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Rachel was fantastic and was extremely accommodating especially due to the nature of my trip and the hours that I needed my pup watched. Will reach out again if I am ever back in the area! 5 stars!

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know anything about a dog’s behavior! It’s helpful to hear anything that might be unexpected about them. It’s also great knowing what helps calm them, if anything makes them anxious, and how they do on walks passing other dogs.

A typical day

I love playing with dogs and letting them explore a new setting. I’ll keep them entertained until they’re ready to take a break. I especially like taking dogs on walks in the park!
