Information Ben L. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds of dogs and Rufus really loves smaller dogs. I would like to know when they get their meals, how often they need to go out, any medications that they may need and anything else that would help me take the best possible care of them!

A typical day

Plenty of walks, head scratches, treats and games of fetch. Rufus loves to play and will invite your baby to join him in his walks and watching out the window.

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs for over 10 years and have shelter work experience. I have trained my own dog, Rufus, as he was a rescue and rehab from neglect case. I am happy to help you with your training needs. Dogs have open access in my home and are welcome to the couch and beds. Rufus loves other dogs and will welcome a friend in his daily playing and snuggling. I am a teacher and my schedule is open on weekends and breaks. Rufus gets walked every 4-5 hours, but we can also make accommodations for your pets needs I have a friendly dog to keep your baby company, as well as a many places to cozy up and a crate if they need a little alone time. I also have experience caring for reptiles, having owned frogs, toads, and turtles for 15 years.

Becky did a great job with taking care of all our animals. We have a big dog, over 100lbs, and it can be hard to find someone comfortable with handling him. She sent lots of photos and our pets looked so happy with her. She left the house clean and even rolled out our garbage bins for pickup. Great service, we highly recommend her.

We are so happy with the service that Rover.Com provided and particularly happy that we found Becky. Our cats were obviously well taken care of. Becky informed us of her visits and kept in touch with us while we were away giving us updates and pictures of our pets - that was so nice to see their faces! We highly recommend Becky and will definitely use her services again in the future. Thanks so much Becky for your reliable and thoughtful help.

Becky was a fantastic sitter for our cat, Lucy. While we were out of town for a few days, she stopped by on a daily basis to keep Lucy happy by feeding and playing with her, and made sure we were kept up to date through pictures and updates. Seeing that Lucy was happy and playing really helped to ease my worries about leaving her and made me excited to see her again! Becky was also very communicative with us about our plans and how she could help make things easier. Next time we go on a trip we will definitely be hiring Becky again!
