Pet care experience
30 yrs Experience /With Dogs 24/7
With 30 years of experience, previous dog training, your pup, senior, any age dog is in caring and attentive hands. I interact, play, talk and walk your pet. They have my attention 24/7 full time. I don't split my attention with work from home job so your loved one has literally 24/7 attention! Let's meet or chat and say HI ! I have a small dog of my own, a little whipper snapper Klee Kai who is a retired service dog. But he respects older dogs too. I am a good pet human to those I am caring for. Your dog has safe and spacious areas to play and there are walking/snowmobile trails very close by where I take longer walks 3-4 times a day weather permitting and depending on your dog's energy level . I have had hens, rabbits, dogs, birds, farm animals and plenty of other critters over the years so am very accustomed to caring for animals on a daily basis. I have dog training experience. Your dog must be house trained, spayed or neutered and know basic commands,be non aggressive and leash trained and have topical flea/tick treatment and be up to date on all vaccinations. Unless you direct, I don't put pets in a crate though I do have 2 available if you prefer I use it at night. Your pet is with me 24/7 so has company and supervision. I have a fully fenced area but it's NOT SUITABLE if your dog digs under fences or can jump a 4' fence! I live walking distance to really nice hiking/snow mobile trails. I keep dogs on a leash at all times except in my fenced area where they can stretch and for bathroom and play. I adjust my routine to your pet. This is my full time passion. I'm not a kid filling in time and do this because I absolutely love having your pup! I take your dog on multiple walks every day. If I am taking care of your pet in your home, they get the same attention while I'm at your home, though I do prefer boarding at my home. I require owners permission to transport your dog in my vehicle to the hiking trails since I won't cross any busier roads with any pet on a leash. It's safer to drive to them a few minutes away. Your pets are NEVER EVER left unattended and alone in my vehicle. Dogs must come clean (no bad or strong smells), food dishes, adequate food for the time they are with me, a favorite toy (though I have a full box of clean toys) and vet info in advance. PLEASE NOTE, DOGGY DAY CARE is any 8 hour period until 5:30 PM daily. Prefer 8:30 AM arrival but earlier is definitely possible too. After 8 hrs, it's an additional $10 hr. This site doesn't let me customize schedules with time frames.

Ratings and reviews
Rebecca A did a great job babysitting our 4 year old setter. She gave her extra cuddles and care to help her stay calm during a thunderstorm. We certainly rebook her services during future travel.
My dog, Maggie, just had another wonderful stay with Rebecca. Maggie can be shy, but with Rebecca she hops right out of the car and makes herself right at home. Rebecca is so good with her, and Maggie also likes playing with her little dog Congo. I highly recommend her!
Rebecca is a dream to work with. Wishing her a wonderful winter and looking forward to working with her next year.
Rebecca was great with my two very playful dogs. They got along great with her little dog and had lots of time to run around outside in her yard. She was very accommodating & the dogs came home happy and healthy.
I employed Rebecca for a one night test as my dog has lots of anxiety and was never successful at leaving her. Rebecca was fabulous. Gracie jumped out of the jeep and just loved her instantly. Rebecca sent pictures and updates and Gracie did fabulous. Will use her again without question. Excellent care.
My Maggie just stayed with Rebecca for a week, and had a great time. Rebecca takes such good care of her, and this time there were two other dogs for her to play with. Rebecca sent pictures and texts, and I could relax and enjoy a vacation that Maggie couldn’t come on. The only downside is I think she’s a little bored now that she’s home and away from the fun!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard which pets are free to be in unleashed. My front deck is gated so pets can be outside under cover. Back deck is also enclosed into the pet area and has a roof.

A typical day
I live on a private dirt road where I can easily get your dogs out for walks. I have a "dog zone" which is fenced in and all sand (if your dog digs to escape, or can jump 4 foot fences, it's not suitable and I will keep them on a leash). There is also a small turtle sand box which I fill with water (summer only) and change when needed during the day so smaller dogs can get wet and enjoy playing. Day care hours are 8 hours, boarding is overnight and 24 hr increments. Pickups later then you're still off the area booked at $15 hr
