A typical day

Honestly it’ll depend on the pet. I’m happy to have your chill pet join me on the couch for a TV show, or I’m happy to play with them until they tire out. If you have any favorite toys you want to send along, I’d love to have that be involved in playtime so they can feel a little more comfy with me even if I’m a stranger to them.

Pet care experience

I’ve been doing drop-in visits for friends and family’s pets since I was 15. Never had a pet myself due to my parents’ allergies, so I love giving extra love and attention to other peoples’ furry friends. When I was a junior in high school I even built a local dog park for my Girl Scout Gold Award project, just to help local dogs have more fun letting out their energy. I’m happy to attend to your animals specific wants, like a snuggly or energetic pet, or one of those pets that has a little hidey hole to check in on.

I am writing this in support of Rebecca Halzack’s submission to be a part of Rover.com. Rebecca was a neighbor of ours for over 23 years, and our choice of babysitter for our son, Andrew. When we decided to get our dog, Snoopy, to be Andrew’s buddy, we needed a sitter to care for Snoopy when we were away from home or on vacation. Rebecca was the natural choice. She is trustworthy, compassionate and treated our fur baby in a manner that we never worried about his safety. Rebecca would come for her visits and would stay and provide Snoopy with “Rebecca and me” time. He looked forward to her visits. Later in his life, Snoopy was diagnosed with diabetes. This required a special diet and also insulin shots twice daily. During this time, Rebecca would fill in for us, feeding and administrating his shot whenever needed. This was such a relief to know she provided him with such great care when we where away.

Becca watched our beloved kitty, Creamsicle, several times and took excellent care of him. She is one of the most responsible people we know, and she is one of the only people that Creamsicle ever warmed up to; we couldn’t believe it when he sat in her lap! She has also spent time with our shitzu, Brolin, and he absolutely loves her. I have no doubt your furry friends will be very well cared for in Becca’s hands!

Rebecca is a phenomenal pet sitter! My cats absolutely love her. She’s reliable, attentive, and always there for my girls. They look forward to seeing her every time she comes over.
