I have known Rebecca for several decades and attest that she is dependable, honest, kind, patient and gets great satisfaction out of helping others, especially animals. While she was raised in a cat household, she is truly a dog person through and through. She adopted a (large) rescue dog a few years back - who, while challenging, under her care and training, became calmer and well behaved. In fact I I trusted having her dog stay with my 80 year old mom while Rebecca and I went out for a quick bite. Whoever is lucky enough to have Rebecca care for their dog with see what I mean once they (and their dog) meet her. She can be entrusted to care for their dog as if it were her own.
