About: I’ve been caring for pets since middle school and have over 7 years of experience with pups and cats of all ages and temperaments. As a landscape architecture student at Virginia Tech, I love spending time outside and staying active—whether that means long walks, hikes, or just backyard playtime. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I treat every animal with patience, joy, and genuine care. I’m home this summer from school so I am quite flexible, and since I have a car, I can easily travel to homes, parks, trails, or wherever works best for you! I do my best to make your pet feel comfy and cared for, whether I’m hanging out at your place or taking them for a walk. I’ll follow whatever routine you’ve got and use whatever leash or gear you prefer. If your pup needs to be crated at certain times, I’ve got no problem with that—and I’ll make sure they’re settled and relaxed. I’m also comfortable giving meds if needed, just let me know the details :)

We are on vacation in an unfamiliar house with an aging, mobility challenged dog so had lots of complicated instructions for Abbey and she did a fabulous job. She even made a practical suggestion for the second visit of the day which made life easier for us and our dog happy. We will certainly specifically look for her again when we visit Emerald Isle.

Outstanding Cat Sitter — Above and Beyond! Rebekah was absolutely wonderful with our two cats, Sadie and Bella! During the five days Rebekah cared for our girls, we received updates twice a day, always with great photos and videos. Every message was thoughtful and “newsy,” and Rebekah never hesitated to respond whenever we reached out, which gave us the total peace of mind everyone wants while out of town. One of our cats, Sadie, worked herself into such a state that she developed diarrhea even before we left. When we let Rebekah know, she suggested adding pumpkin to Sadie’s diet—and voilà! Problem solved. We were so impressed by Rebekah’s attentiveness, knowledge, and genuine care for our cats. We came home to two happy, well‑cared‑for girls and couldn’t be more grateful. This was the first time we have used Rover or worked with Rebekah, but it absolutely won’t be the last. We highly recommend Rebekah and would book again in a heartbeat!

About: I’ve cared to dogs since I was 12, beginning with family pets and expanding to neighbors and friends. I helped raise a littler of ten black lab puppies, ensuring they received proper nutrition and constant affection. I’ve cared for many breeds in a variety of settings, including watching and managing up to 5 black labs at once, taking them on structured walks, playing with there favorite toys and keeping their routines calm and consistent. My experience cover feeding schedules, baths, crate safety and off leash play. I am currently a student at coastal Carolina community college as a dental assisting student. Mondays and Thursday I get out of class at 11:40 and 12:50. Tuesdays I arrive at school @11 and leave @3:40, Wednesdays 8-2:40 and Fridays 10-2:40. On weekends I’m available and times after school. I have a back yard, not fenced in. Pets in my home are not treated bad, not screamed at or hit to be punished. They are always treated like my own, with cuddles, little snacks if allowed and plenty of play time. They would go on walks and be seen by other individuals for petting if the owner is comfortable.

About: I love animals! I have had a dog or cat most of my life. I currently have Rocco, my 6 mth old golden retriever. He is the love of my life, outside of my wife. I am fit & I love the water. I love paddleboarding, boating, fishing & taking Rocco to the ocean where he jumps waves & says hi to everyone!! I have experience in grooming, training, administering medications and anything else your pet may need. My dog, prior to Rocco, was a cockapoo, named Winston, who was a part of our family until he was 18 yrs old. During his senior years he had special needs and required administration of Meds & a lot of TLC! I kept my sons two golden retrievers for a week at a time. I also made home visits to other people. I have let their dogs out, sometimes two times a day where we played fetch, walked them & gave them lots of love & affection. I will show your fur baby the same love. Let me show you how much your pet will love me!🐶 I have a very flexible schedule. I am looking for ongoing long-term set schedules but I will take one time visits as well.. I am home most of the time unless I'm in the water. I love taking my golden to the beach so he can jump the waves. Since I'm only 5 minutes from the ocean I dont need to travel much so my availability is wide open. I have a fenced back yard that is perfect for your fur baby. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood where most of the dogs know each other when we walk our golden. My golden loves to swim in my pool & jump waves at the ocean. We live 5 minutes from the beach. Dogs love to walk & meet & greet there. My golden is very friendly to other dogs. He plays with them until he wears completely out.

About: I am very active and fit and able to walk, jog, or even take your dog(s) for a run! I grew up on a ranch in Texas and have had the pleasure of learning the hard work that comes with raising animals - pets inside and outside of the home. I have experience from canine birth to end of life care. I’ve had indoor and outdoor cats and can care for both. I have my own springer spaniel who I love and enjoy taking for walks, hikes, swimming, paddle boarding, etc! I am a work-from-home mom and I am in control of my own daily schedule. I am very flexible with availability and try to accommodate as much as I can! Our family dog is my first child, and he knows it. I treat family pets like they are just that- part of the family! They deserve the love, care, and attention just like anyone else!
