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 was amazing! Very professional and we could tell our dogs had a great time and felt comfortable. We will definitely be booking with Becca again.
Becca is easy to work with: prompt, takes the initiative with communication, and a true animal lover. I will rebook whenever possible!
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!
