Energetic and Focused Pet Care
Pet care experience
I’m an exceptionally responsible pet caretaker and I’d love to help care for your pet! I’m a cat owner with a long history of living with and loving on dogs, cats, hamsters and even a bunny. Safety is my first priority when I care for animals. I'm good at building rapport with pets and making sure their needs are met. I walk 4-5 miles most days, so if you have a high-energy pup who needs more exercise, I'm a great choice! I generally do not do overnight stays, but if you are interested in a house sitter who is around for several hours a day to keep your pet company, let me know! We can probably work out a plan together.
Reviews
Rebecca B. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Becca was available to care for my pups during a family emergency. I appreciate her high level of communication and commitment to take such great care of my dogs when I'm away.
Rebecca was so kind and considerate in getting to know our two dogs, feeding and walking both, and taking good care of our puppy for his extra evening walks when we were at a wedding! Thanks for your help!
Rebecca is so reliable! She walked Spot on a regular schedule for 2 months and it was a relief knowing that someone was giving my pup a great midday walk and some love while I was at work.
About Rebecca B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
If I'm caring for your pet in your home I will make sure the environment is safe and conducive for their comfort. If your pet is social, I give them all the attention they want! If they want their space, I make sure they have everything they need and keep the environment as calm as possible. I'll clean up any pet-based messes, so feel free to tell me where to find the cleaning supplies!
Information Rebecca B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any particular quirks, likes/dislikes, treat allergies/restrictions, or special needs that relate to my care time with them. For dogs, it would also be helpful to understand how leash-trained they are and if they exhibit aggression toward other animals or humans. It's important for me to be as prepared as possible to keep them safe and happy!
A typical day
I love to play with pets and I give them my full attention when I’m with them. I keep a couple toys and treats on hand to keep them engaged! For dog walks, some of my favorite spots are around Midway Plaisance, Hyde Park neighborhoods, and the lakefront/Promontory Point. I am open to learning about other parks your dog may love!

Availability
I'm a full-time doctoral student with the privilege of generally setting my own hours. I try to block off early mornings for intensive studying, but I always welcome a conversation about your/your pet's scheduling needs!
