Biggest Animal Lover!

Your dogs and cats will feel so loved by me! I have lots of repeat clients and just love getting to spend time with your pets. I’ll do whatever you need whether it be sending pics, bathing, walks, playing, cuddling, whatever your pet needs to feel more comfortable and loved while you're away! I have a 6 yr old german shepherd and threee cats who we cherish, and always want to leave them in the best hands possible, in our own home, and i’ll be just that for your baby too in your home! Animals deserve the best, for the never ending love they share! Leaving my dogs home while I'm away always brings me peace knowing they’re in their own element and the most comfortable in their own place. and I would love to bring that same peace to you and your family in your home while you're away; even if it's just at work. I’ve had dogs my entire life (i’m 35) and am such a huge animal lover. I have volunteered at multiple different animal rescues on my free time. I do have experience giving oral and topical medications to both dogs and cats. There may be an additional charge for this depending on type of medication and how the animal takes it I do require that your pets be potty/house trained. Puppies may be an exception. My drop in and walking services prices are for a 5 mile radius of our area a Freeport, however, we are willing to travel outside of that area for additional cost.

Whitney was great with my dog Josie! She kept us updated with pictures and videos and gave her lots of love and cuddles (even during a thunderstorm!). Highly recommend!

I had a wonderful experience using Whitney. She came for a meet and greet before keeping my boys. She was very communicative through out the whole process. I did not have to double check if she was coming or when she arrived which was so nice to have her reaching out telling me. She arrived on time and sent pictures while she was there. They were so at ease with her and in their happy place. I’m so glad I found Whitney to look after them, she did an astounding job. House was how we left it and my dogs seemed all tuckered out by the time we got home. Definitely recommend Whitney!

Whitney was great. Excellent with comforting our dog when we left and sent pictures of him to let us know he was ok. Would definitely recommend her.

Whitney was amazing!!! I would trust her with my fur babies any day for any length of time. Even my more reserved animals loved her! 🙏🏼

Whitney is the absolute best! We knew from the initial meet & greet, our Allie was going to be in good hands. Whitney kept us well updated with lots of pictures & videos. We’ve only left Allie with family members in the past & Whitney eased any anxiety I had with leaving her. Our home & most importantly, Allie were well loved while we were gone. Allie even went to our guest bedroom looking for Whitney the next morning! Whitney will be our go to in the future!

Are your animals house trained? Do your animals require medication? Where do your animals sleep at night? Please let me know if there is anything special I can do for your pups. When I leave my animals, we leave our sitters lists of rules, so I am totally okay with any rules or requirements!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
