Pet care experience

Experienced, passionate caretaker

My name is Rebecca and I've been pursuing my passion for animals since I was very young. I work part-time as an apprentice pet groomer partnered with an animal hospital. My career began in high school where I worked as a dog bather/assistant at a professional pet grooming salon. Since relocating to Richmond, I worked at a local boarding kennel and doggie daycare facility for over 3 years. There, I expanded my skills in grooming and gained experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, temperaments and health needs. I also performed "on call" manager duties such as responding to emergencies. I will use that knowledge and experience to watch over your pets with the utmost of care. My own furry family consists of Marley (German shepherd), Frisco (Jack Russel/chihuahua), Daisy and Peach (my kitty girls). Together, we enjoying playing in the back yard, going for walks and jogs, learning new tricks and lots of cuddling. I plan to do the same with your babies while you are away!

Rebecca provided updates including pictures while I was away. Trinity looked to be on a vacation of her own from all the attention she was receiving. That was a relief since I don't leave her often!

Rebecca was great with our dogs! When she came for an initial visit the dogs just knew she was there for them and they loved her immediately which made me feel so much better. She was flexible with her weekend schedule to make sure that our dogs got let out and played with/walked. Rebecca was very responsive and easy to work with and we will likely be needing her in the future for various times when I have I travel for work. Thank you again Rebecca!!

Jack is my baby and I hate to leave him. My old dog sitter quit her business so I needed someone new. I decided to try Rebecca. From the moment I met her I felt like she would take good care of jack. And she did. I felt comfortable with her in my home. She is such a sweetheart and very professional. I just needed her to stop by and check on jack for me. I assumed she would only do this once that day. But she kindly came twice. She kept me informed on how Jack was doing through text messages. It made my vacation more fun knowing that jack was in good hands. Thank you Rebecca! I will be calling you every time we go out of town so I know jack is in good hands. Thank you again!

A typical day

I love taking walks around the neighborhood or playing in the yard. I'll try to keep the same usual routine for your pet and maybe help to try new things! ***I offer multiple pet and extended stay discounts!*** Extra house-sitting services: Caring for your home comes with the territory of caring for your pets. For extended trips I'm willing to perform other housekeeping tasks, light yard work, and depending on the needs of your dog- basic grooming.

I do not discriminate and am open to making any new furry friend! But I would like to know a little bit about what to expect. Basic information and background of your pup, including: age, breed & temperament, allergies, health concerns or medications, escape prone and level of training.
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.
