Compassionate care for every pup
Pet care experience
Though I have experience caring for many animals over the last decade, I most recently have 1.5 years experience dedicated to working on behavioral health of dogs within the context of an animal shelter. I have experience with puppy socialization, leash manners, stranger danger, reactivity, fearful dogs, senior dogs, dog introductions, and more.
Reviews
Becky is incredible with dogs. She is gentle, kind and very observant of their body language and needs. She is adept at handling, walking, and caring for dogs of all kinds, and temperaments. Her knowledge of dogs is exceptional. She is great working with dogs that are fearful, reactive, high energy and more. I cannot recommend her enough. She is fantastic.
You couldn't find a better person than Becky to trust with your pet. She made an instant connection with Ripley (our exuberant 65# boy) and they are not only walking buddies but great friends. He does summersaults when she comes to the door knowing that they will be heading out for a hike and quality time together. Becky is also a wonderful trainer so her walks with Ripley are valuable in reinforcing good behaviors. We also can count on valuable feedback as to what Ripley does great and what might need some work. It's obvious that Becky loves animals and I could not recommend her more highly.
Becky's dog handing skills and rapport are top-of-the-line. My troubled dog who struggles in meeting new people would tell you that Becky quickly won him over. She knew when to approach and when to back off, and in about 5 minutes they were confidently walking out the door together. She's always looking for new ways to enrich him. She provides specific feedback on outings and helpful insights on behavioral issues. I've watched her handle dogs of all types and temperments in another setting and found her to be consistently compassionate, patient and skilled. Plus, she's organized and easy to work with. I fully trust her with my beloved dogs!
Becky is reliable and responsible. She was hired as a kennel technician at StrayHearts Animal Shelter and quickly earned a promotion to our Behavior Team. Becky is Fear Free Certified and very knowledgeable about fear and force-free training, an expert in dog handling/ body language, and very capable of befriending dogs of any temperament.
