Personally, I've had dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, horses, and hermit crabs as pets, besides the odd rescued baby bird, bunny, or mouse. On top of cats, dogs, and fish, I've had the opportunity to care for alpacas, an African grey parrot, and saltwater fish/reefs, while pet sitting. Every animal I encounter has its own identity and temperament, which is always fun and interesting to observe and base my care on. I feel like such a winner when I get a standoffish animal to trust me!

Safety, trust & environment

Throughout my life I've had an array of animals to bond with, though for a long period recently we had just one cat. Mournfully, a few years ago, my dad and I had to part with our beloved Stevie. She was our close companion for over 15 years, and I still miss her immensely. Her quirks and routines still cross my mind, which brings all the things that made her unique and lovable up into my heart. Pet sitting warms my heart, and definitely fills the need that I still have for animal companionship (but without the heartbreak).

Information Rebecca A. would like to know about your pet

All pets are unique and no one knows them better than their people. Please let me know ANYTHING that would make you feel more comfortable for me to know. Quirks, rules, triggers, likes, dislikes... It's all helpful!

A typical day

I start off every client with a full-on questionnaire to get to know your pet's needs! Some pets love a nice long walk, and some just want to snuggle. Some are obsessed with one special toy they can't get enough interaction with, and some are just happy to be in the same room. All activities depend on the safety and comfort level of the owner and the pet. Feel free to specify these in our introduction questionnaire and meet & greet!

Pet care experience

I've had the gift of house/pet sitting for over 10 years, and it is without a doubt the most rewarding job I've ever experienced!

I’m so glad to have found Rebecca! My cat loved her and she took such good care of our home. Can’t wait to book her again!

She was very attentive and my cat sat on her lap. He doesn’t do that with everyone.

Rebecca was great with my pups when she stopped by to feed them and give them some love while we were out of town. Great with communication too. Thanks!
