I have known Rebecca Zimmerman for a good number of years. I have found her to be diligent in whatever she may be doing and scrupulously honest in all matters. She has extensive experience in working with animals of all types. Her own pets--including dogs, cats, and horses--are well groomed, well fed, and in good health. Recently, she worked for about two years as a volunteer with PAWS, the largest no-kill animal shelter in Chicago. As a Level II volunteer, she was trained in working with animals which had serious behavioral issues, large breeds and breeds which have problematic reputations. Working both with problematic animals and animals with no issues included basic dog handling training, exercising, and feeding. She also served as an adoption counselor, helping match families to potential pets. I highly recommend Rebecca to provide pet/house sitting services.
