Ratings and reviews
Becky did a great job with taking care of all our animals. We have a big dog, over 100lbs, and it can be hard to find someone comfortable with handling him. She sent lots of photos and our pets looked so happy with her. She left the house clean and even rolled out our garbage bins for pickup. Great service, we highly recommend her.
We are so happy with the service that Rover.Com provided and particularly happy that we found Becky. Our cats were obviously well taken care of. Becky informed us of her visits and kept in touch with us while we were away giving us updates and pictures of our pets - that was so nice to see their faces! We highly recommend Becky and will definitely use her services again in the future. Thanks so much Becky for your reliable and thoughtful help.
Becky was a fantastic sitter for our cat, Lucy. While we were out of town for a few days, she stopped by on a daily basis to keep Lucy happy by feeding and playing with her, and made sure we were kept up to date through pictures and updates. Seeing that Lucy was happy and playing really helped to ease my worries about leaving her and made me excited to see her again! Becky was also very communicative with us about our plans and how she could help make things easier. Next time we go on a trip we will definitely be hiring Becky again!
Becky was absolutely wonderful. We look forward to calling upon her services again. Highly recommend!
Becky was very reliable. She was very willing to communicate, including sending photos. I felt confident that Bailey was receiving great care.
Becky did a great job sitting for my two dogs. She had excellent references from the Oak Park Animal Care League. The dogs were well cared for. She worked with my dogs special medicines, circumstances and age. She also took great care of my home. I will definitely use her again.

I love to get all the excercise I can, especially before and after work and would love to have your pet join! On weekends and breaks, I’m always up for dropping in for play time or heading out for an adventure!
