I'll Love Him/Her Like My Own :)

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Becky, I’m an Aunt to 3 beautiful kiddos and come from a really large extended family that all live in the DMV! I've grown up my entire life with dogs, there has literally not been 1 second of my life where we did not have a dog in the house until recently when my last family dog passed away a couple of years ago. I got started with Rover because of our big old dog Jonah, he was a mix and a total sweetheart (pictures are in my profile). Jonah used to have a best friend named Jack, my sister's dog, when she lived with us but she moved to Oklahoma for a short time and Jonah was in desperate need of some company, and I thought Rover would be the perfect solution! So, I started doing Rover and absolutely loved it. After Jonah passed away, I still loved dog sitting so much that I figured I would keep my profile going and offer at home dog sitting! So, if you're going out of town and want to leave your baby with someone who would love them as my own, please consider me! I live in a great condo (900 sq ft) in Old Town Alexandria (the most densely dog populated city in America haha), there’s a great dog park 2 blocks away and I love walking down to the river to read a book while the dogs play. I don’t have my own dog, so that I can have flexibility with my schedule, but I love having a dog in my place and watching and loving on other people’s babies helps me fill the void of not having one myself! If you have any questions or would like to schedule a meet and greet with me prior to making any decisions, I would be happy to meet up with you and your dog(s)! Thanks :) PLEASE NOTE: if you are looking for a sitter during a holiday, my holiday rates are different. Please look carefully before sending an inquiry, rates are not negotiable. Thanks so much!

Becky was great! We recently moved to the area and hadn’t found a sitter for our pup yet so we decided to try Rover and Becky reached out saying she was available. She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures and videos, and we could tell our pup was being given lots of love and care! Very happy to have a sitter in the area now!

Becky was absolutely wonderful. She’s so warm and friendly. Her genuine excitement to watch my dog made me feel that my pup was in good hands. Becky sent plenty of pics and took care of my dog like she was her own. My pup was clearly very happy with the time they spent together. No question, I will be requesting Becky as my Rover again.

Becky was the absolute best! We were able to do a meet and greet before our weeklong trip and Hank loved her right away. Becky was easy to communicate with for drop off/pickup logistics and sent lots of pictures and videos the whole time we were gone. I could tell she is a true dog lover and that Hank was in wonderful hands.

In addition to taking wonderful care of our Lila, Becky was super accommodating to our last minute changes in the drop-off and pick-up times. Also appreciated the many pictures and videos she sent our way while we were out of town…would give more than five stars if able.

I live in a condo building that is full of dogs and we have a little dog park area on the property, every day everyone with dogs meets up and let’s them run around and play. It’s great socialization. I grew up treating dogs as one of the family, so when your dog is with me, that’s how I’ll treat them :)

Home

Lives in an apartment
Does not have a yard
Non-smoking household
Has no pets
No children present
Dogs allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 2-4 hours

Information Becky Y. would like to know about your pet

It’s super important to know whether or not the dogs are other dog friendly, if they have any anxiety about being left alone, etc so that I know if I need to make any special accommodations

A typical day

I grew up treating dogs as if they were human, we love to cuddle on the couch and in bed. Of course, if your dog is not allowed on furniture I'll be sure to adhere to that and not start any bad habits! I've grown up my entire life with having a dog and in our house, they are a part of the family. That's my style, treat them as if they're one of my own. However, if you have strict rules about certain areas of the home, furniture, snacks, etc. I will absolutely respect that!
