Loving care when you're not there
Pet care experience
They can't always go with you, but they can still be left in loving, trusting hands. I am a 25-year-old, dog-loving college graduate from Loyola University Chicago with a Bachelor's in Psychology. Two years ago, when I was still living in Chicago, I had a flourishing business on Rover with many repeat doggy clients. Not only did I form a bond with each dog, but I ended up forming bonds with the owners as well, and I even still hear from some of them to this day and love getting updates about how my fur-friends are doing. Since moving to the suburbs, I've mostly kept my profile inactive. I have found myself at a point in my life with a very free and flexible schedule and am excited to meet the local doggies!!! I hope to continue to meet dogs of all breeds and sizes, each with their own unique personality and quirks that make me love them unconditionally that much more! They make my days happier and I would love to devote my free time to caring for your doggy!
Reviews
Rebecca has been great at taking our dog for walks and making sure he gets plenty of play time! She is very professional and clearly loves dogs:-) we will be using her again soon, and we recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walker or sitter!
We could not be more pleased with Rebecca's care of our puppy, Willow! Rebecca's love for dogs shines thru in every aspect of her care. Communication was fabulous thruout the entire process. Best of all, Willow transitioned well and did not seem stressed during or after her stay with Rebecca. Thank you so much, Rebecca! Hope to use you again sometime soon.
Rebecca was so amazing with our quirky little Boston Terrier Benji!!!! We are able to get free dog sitting services in our building but I would 100% use Rebecca the next time we travel just because Benji had THAT much fun with her (he is quite a finicky pup). We got a ton of updates and pictures which I absolutely loved and made me feel so at ease. You can see how much she genuinely enjoys the company of dogs and all of the anxiety I would typically have went away after the first day. Rebecca went totally above and beyond!!
I'd give her 6 stars if I could!!! My husband and I were passing through Chicago on a cross country drive with our 7 month old Portie puppy. We wanted to spend some time going to nice restaurants and museums without our puppy being stuck in her kennel in the hotel. Rebecca promptly responded to our request to pet sit for two nights. She was friendly and professional and enthusiastic about taking on the challenge of our energetic puppy. She took her for several walks a day and took her to the dog play area at her apartment complex for some puppy playtime as well. She updated us with photos throughout her stay and assured us Lula was in great hands! If we're back in Chicago we are absolutely booking with Rebecca again!

Skills
Information Rebecca S. would like to know about your pet
Information that would be helpful to know prior to the visit: -What is the dog's eating, potty, walking/exercise, and sleeping routine like? -Does the dog have any health care concerns or allergies that I should be aware of? -Does the dog get along with other dogs? -What is the dog's behaviour like on a walk? -How do I deal with good and bad behaviours? -What are their favourite toys and games? -What should I do in case of medical emergency? -Is there anything the dog is scared of or reacts to?
A typical day
We will go on multiple walks a day, making sure to have 1-2 long walks per day. I love walking in local forest preserves, parks, paths, etc., but I am not comfortable with any off-leash outdoor activities including dog parks. We'll play fetch, tug of war, and other games all while give lots of love and attention throughout.
