Professional Pet Lover
Pet care experience
I have been a professional pet-sitter for over 20 years. I believe pets are not just companions, but family members. I am originally from Wisconsin, where the seed for working with animals began while volunteering at the local Humane Society. I am a writer, active outdoor lover, yoga practitioner, reader, and swing dancer. I look forward to spoiling your loved ones while you are away! Why I love dog sitting I'm pretty sure I've been an animal lover since the day I was born! I grew up with a cat and a dog, and a dream about one day having my own horse. I started volunteering at my local Humane Society when I was 14 years old, and have volunteered for animal organizations ever since. My experience administering medication Yes, have done it many times before.
Reviews
Rebecca did a great job with my senior dog and two cats during our weekend away. We came gone to calm, settled pets that obviously responded very favorably to Rebecca. She was very responsive and great at communicating with us during her stay,
The weekend of July 7-9 was the first time I had used rover.com. My youngest daughter was being married in a town about 150 miles away. My pet/house sitter was Rebecca. I was absolutely impressed by her. We had our meet-and-greet shortly after I visited the site, and she had such a calm demeanor and knowledge of pets that I knew she would be the perfect fit for me and my little dogs, Zoe Suess & Finn Henson. She sent me photos every day, which pleased me to no end! While coming home on Sunday, July 9, I had car trouble. I was alone and in a town where virtually every establishment was closed. After several attempts, I was able to find a towing company and get my car to a dealership close to the location of the wedding. This caused a five-hour delay in my return. I contacted Rebecca and told her of the situation, and she went back to my home and took care of my dogs, leaving shortly before my arrival. It is my feeling that she went over and above her responsibilities in insuring that my little kids were taken care of. I will definitely call rover.com and request Rebecca in the future. She is a gem!
Rebecca was great!! Our dog and cat were so happy and relaxed when we returned home. The house was tidy. We will definitely ask Rebecca to sit for our furry family next time we are out of town.
Rebecca was super during my recent trip out of town for school. She did house and pet sitting and my dog and two cats were in great hands with her! She was flexible and able to extend my request to stay one extra day when a class was added to my trip, which was super appreciated. We recommend Rebecca!
