Availability

My days are structured but flexible since I work from home. I’m able to let dogs out in our secure fenced yard for potty breaks as needed throughout the day and always make time for at least one dedicated walk during the workday. After work, we head out for a longer walk to burn off energy and enjoy some fresh air. Between walks, there’s plenty of supervision, companionship, and relaxation time so your pup feels comfortable, cared for, and part of the family all day long. 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog will be welcomed into a calm, loving home with lots of attention and supervision throughout the day. I do have two friendly, well-socialized dogs at home — a laid-back senior Lab and a young Dachshund — so visiting pups must be comfortable around other dogs. We tailor walks to each dog’s comfort level and training, offering on-leash or off-leash outings when appropriate and safe. At night, my dogs typically sleep with me, and there’s plenty of room for extra snuggles if your pup enjoys that too. If you prefer your dog to be crated or follow a specific nighttime routine, I’m happy to stick to your instructions to keep their routine consistent. 🐾

Information Rebecca B. would like to know about your pet

All dog breeds are welcome as long as they get along well with other dogs. I am very comfortable with puppy and senior dog care. I unfortunately am not able to accommodate cats in my home but am happy to come visit them in yours!

A typical day

On a week day I typically take the dogs out for a 30 minute walk at lunch (leashed or unleashed depending on the dog) and then for a longer trail walk after work around 4:30. In between I am working from home and make lots of time for snuggles, playing and little potty breaks as needed!

Pet care experience

I’ve had animals my entire life — from cats and dogs to a variety of farm animals — and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I truly believe dogs are part of the family and deserve to be treated with the same love, respect, and attention as any family member. I’m very active and make sure the dogs in my care get plenty of exercise and enrichment. We go on walks at least twice a day, with longer off-leash adventures on the weekends (when appropriate and safe). Because I work from home, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, outdoor time, and lots of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to drop in for potty breaks if you’re within a reasonable driving distance. Growing up on a farm gave me hands-on experience with all kinds of animals, including keeping chickens on and off over the years. I’m comfortable, confident, and attentive with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I share my home with two very friendly, well-socialized dogs. One is a large senior Lab who spends most of his day happily snoozing, and the other is a young Dachshund who would love a playmate but is just as content relaxing if that’s more your dog’s style. Both dogs are neutered, healthy and kept up to date on vaccinations. Because of this, I do require that visiting dogs are comfortable around other dogs. I have fostered puppies over the years and am comfortable with puppy care as well as administering medication for any health issues. Your pup will be welcomed into our home like one of our own — with love, structure, exercise, and plenty of cozy downtime. 🐾

Rebecca is amazing! Frankie stayed with Rebecca and her pack for 2 nights and she treated him like one of her own. Walks in the woods, lots of cuddles and he even got to sleep on the bed with her and her dogs Hunter and Todd. I had no worries that our Frankie was in good hands. He came home happy, tired and well cared for.

Lily loved spending the day with Rebecca and her two pups! Rebecca asked all the questions and sent me updates through the day and was super flexible with my booking. I would book with Rebecca again!

Rebecca has been incredibly dependable and trustworthy when caring for my pets. Her communication is always clear and consistent, and I always come back to some happy animals! She has even managed to make friends with my extremely shy rescue kitty, who normally hides from everyone. This would have been no easy task, and I’m so happy he now can get some snuggles when I’m away!
