Pet care experience
Your dog wants to go hiking!
I have two friendly cats and backyard chickens. I have had cats and dogs for most of my life. I go trail hiking at local forest preserves and state parks 2-4 times a week and would love to take your dog with me! I only have one dog guest at a time (unless they are from the same home) so I can give them lots of care and attention and provide you with regular updates and photos. You will know your pet is being well looked after. My goal is to make your pet feel like it is on a fun vacation while you are on a fun vacation. Nothing makes me happier than dogs I've cared before, coming back and pulling on their leash to come into my house on their next visit!

Ratings and reviews
Rachel was incredible with my senior dog, Vincent. She gave me regular updates, and I always felt confident that his needs were being met and that he was in great hands. Caring for an older dog can require extra attention, and Rachel was patient, attentive, and compassionate throughout his stay. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Vincent was comfortable and well cared for while I was away. I would absolutely book with Rachel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Rachel was wonderful! Sent lots of updates and pictures throughout her short visit and seems to really love caring for other people’s animals! Would absolutely book again!
Rachel is super dependable for a good walk or hike! Great communication as usual. Thank you!
Rachel was amazing with my pup, she sent lots of photos and I can tell that Maggie was loved like a member of the family.
You were so accommodating when we had a setback! Thanks for the hiking photos as well :)
Rachel V. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.

Schedule
I only work half-time so I have plenty of time for pets. I know how important your pet is to you and I'm very responsible.

Safety, trust & environment
My dog guests are walked at least three times a day including a walk or hike of 30 minutes or longer. They are also able to use my fenced in backyard when the chickens are locked up for the night .
Pets
A typical day
I have a whole basket of dog toys and cat toys for your pet to enjoy. I give lots of pets, kisses and belly rubs so your pet will feel loved and cared for until you return.
