Pet care experience
My name is Rebecca and I have over five years of experience working with dogs professionally. I formerly worked at a veterinary clinic as a Kennel Assistant for four years, where I walked and cared for all kinds of breeds of dogs with varying temperaments, ages, and medical needs. I routinely administered medicine to dogs, both orally and with injections. I also have worked as a professional pet sitter for over three years as well, doing both overnight stays and check-ins. I currently am self-employed and am able to make my own schedule, which means I can be available at any time, whether it is weekdays or weekends, and can be available on some holidays as well. This also means that I'm able to spend a lot of time with your dogs while doing drop-ins or house sitting, and can go for longer walks as well. I am also physically fit and active and can walk dogs long or short distances as needed. Breeds of dogs that I've consistently cared for for in the past include great pyrenees, west highland terriers, huskies, a poodle mix, a senior shih-tzu, and a diabetic pug. I'm also familiar with a variety of harnesses, leashes, and techniques for handling big strong dogs. I just love big fluffy dogs and adorable lap dogs!
Reviews
Came home to a happy tired well fed pup! Thank you
I am always a little nervous leaving my older diabetic dog behind when I travel, because keeping him healthy relies so much on keeping up with his special needs - insulin doses on time, extra bathroom breaks, etc. When I got home though Boots was happy and healthy and calm - a sure sign that Rebecca took wonderful care of him! She came over before I left and spent lots of time getting to know Boots and all his needs and quirks, and then kept me up to date while I was away which put my mind at ease. Thank you Rebecca for loving and caring for my old fellow!
Rebecca was great with my dog Lance! Very communicative and on time, will book again, highly recommend!
Rebecca was very friendly and took good care of the animals. She communicated quickly when I had questions and was super easy to work with.

Information Rebecca T. would like to know about your pet
I am more than happy to look after any breed of dog, as well as any age including puppies and seniors. I would like to know ahead of time if they have any behavioral issues that I should be aware of, including aggressiveness, if they were formerly abused, etc. so that I can adjust the way I approach and interact with them accordingly. I'd also like to know if they behave well around other dogs for when they're on walks, if they have any medical needs, allergies, or dietary restrictions I should be aware of.
A typical day
Depending on the needs and/or temperament of the dog, I would generally take the dogs on walks and spend time with them outdoors at local parks. If they have a preferred dog park I would be happy to bring them there. I would also make sure to spend time with them in their comfort zone at their own home by playing with them, socializing with them, etc.
