Pet care experience
My boyfriend and I love to watch pups together and usually one of us is always home. I am a huge dog lover from Chicago who owns an Australian Shepherd and grew up with two Boston Terriers and a Weimaraner. You can even say that I love dogs more than people. My first dog had Epilepsy and had to take medication twice a day so I have a lot practice is administrating medication and taking care of a special needs dog. I love to go on runs with my pup (Addy) and I take her to the dog park everyday to make up for not having a backyard. My dog is very friendly with other dogs and loves it when a new friend comes over or stay with us. I have been a dog walker and sitter for 5+ years now and I have walked over 350 dogs during that time. Each dog I meet has a special place in my heart and I never forget them. We can’t wait to meet your furry friend!
Reviews
Rachel does a great job with my dog who can be a handful. He was so excited to see her.
Joanie can be a very anxious dog and we weren’t sure how she’d do in an unfamiliar setting - but she loved her stay and it couldn’t have gone better! Rachel was really kind and gave great updates.
This is my first time booking with Rachel and I’ll definitely book with her again if needed. She’s amazing! She gave updates with photos everyday. The communication was efficient. She took great care of my furbaby. I can easily tell that she’s a great sitter who loves doggies from the bottom of her heart!
This was my second time booking with Rachel. She’s so great with my cat Theo, and I really enjoy getting all the cute pics of him while away!
