Availability
My other job (as a pet photographer!) is very flexible, so as long as I don't have any photo session appointments, I am likely available to take care of your pet.

Cat skills
Safety, trust & environment
My cat is an inside cat, and my dog prefers humans to other dogs. I understand that different animals have different needs and personalities, and I am ready to meet your pet where they're at, whether that's chilling on the couch or going on a hike. You know your pet best, and I will always follow your instructions and use your recommendations on how to create a safe and fun visit!
Information Rebecca B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any allergies or aversions to certain flavors/treats because I tend to have those on me at all times. It is also helpful to know how reactive your dog is to other dogs. I am comfortable with any level of reactivity, but it is helpful for me to be prepared.
A typical day
I love the challenge of figuring out which toys and activities certain animals love! For example, my cat couldn't care less about a laser pointer, but if you get a plastic spring out she goes nuts. I will take the time to find what your pet finds exciting. I have also been through training courses with my dog, so I am happy to reinforce any commands or tricks you may be working on!

Pet care experience
Growing up, there was only one week of my life when we did not have at least one dog. Each family dog had a quirky and distinct personality, ranging from serious and loyal to silly and playful. I understand that each pet is just as unique as their parent(s), and each one deserves the individual love and care we give our human family and friends. I am a very patient and reliable person with a deep love for all animals (big, small, canine, feline, avian, you name it!).

Reviews
Rebecca is the most conscientious pet owner I know. She's incredibly organized, and there's no task she can't handle. I'm sure she'll use the skills she developed as an account manager for a huge network to coordinate with owners and schedule walks. Rebecca loves all animals and has a compassion that only true pet lovers can know; just last year she singlehandedly rescued a kitten and has turned her into the best pet ever. She's also very responsible and you can trust her to be on time and follow through with instructions and ask the appropriate questions. Besides her professional experience, Rebecca has raised several dogs in her lifetime with varying degrees of obedience and I'm sure she could handle any dog from a rambunctious puppy to a quiet senior dog.
Rebecca is a responsible, kind, intelligent woman who adores animals. She has walked my dogs for years and has even stayed with them on weekends. I trust her implicitly and the dogs are always excited to see her. She is also a high energy person which is great since I am not! I recommend her wholeheartedly.
