Friendly local dog walker/sitter
Pet care experience
I've worked at many businesses (pet hospitals) and non profits centered around dogs, cats and everything to do with them! I genuinely love meeting and walking new dogs. I have a lot of experience dog and cat sitting - which happened naturally because I love animals (and honestly prefer them to people). I also love dog walking because I'm trying to get more physically active. I like to meet the dog before the first walk/visit so that we get a proper introduction and they'll know I'm not an intruder. I can also provide references when requested. You can also find me at: beccajonesstarr .com/pet-care Frequently asked questions: "Do you walk multiple dogs at once?" No, I walk dogs one on one. Only exception is if you have more than one dog [that needs a walk] and they obviously already know each other and live together I can totally walk them together. "What is a walk with you like?" I come to the house greet the dog and get them suited up for the walk (whether it's a harness or a leash). The goals are for them to go to the bathroom, exercise and do some sniffing. I will typically walk them around the block, when they go potty I take a note (and clean it up over course), I take pictures of the dog and aim for a chill easy going walk. "What do check-ins/drop-ins include?" Usually check-ins are for cats or senior animals. I spend time with them playing and petting. I make sure they have water and food given if requested. For cats I can clean the litter box as well. "Are you trained or certified in animal training or service animals?" No I am not a trainer but I can keep going with the commands they are learning or have learned (ie. Sit, stay, shake, etc). I am also not a dog trainer or a service animal trainer. I'm just a dog walker. "What happens if an emergency comes up?" SO glad to report it hasn't happened yet in the 2+ years of doing pet care. But if something occurs I will contact Rover and follow your emergency instructions provided, Tips are much appreciated! paypal.me/beccajonesstarr

Becca provided mid-day drop in visits for our dogs and cats. They asked detailed questions and followed instructions. I would hire again for sure.
Becca has done multiple walks for my dog Phoenix and he's had a wonderful time. She's on time, kind, and flexible with our schedule. I highly recommend her for your dog walks!
On time and communicative. My pup was eager to play with Becca and she took the time to sit with him after the walk and gave him treats :)
Becca is a very flexible and reliable sitter for my cat. She always shows up on time and leaves a detailed check-in description with photos. When the key fob to get into my complex wasn’t working one weekend, she was able to figure it out with the building attendant. I recommend her!
