Not-So-Crazy Cat Lady
Pet care experience
I have four young rescue kitty boys at home who love kitty company! Willy has been with me the longest, going on his third year, while Bob Barker has been here for two, Killian for one, and Geffie Many-Toes (polydactyl) since January, after my sweet old boy, Guy, passed. I have been a companion for cats for the past 15 years, have lived happily with dogs and guinea pigs at various times in my life, have goldfish, and have helped to raise game fowl. I also volunteer at the Coulee Region Humane Society in their Wildlife Rehabilitation program, where I feed wild baby and adult animals of all kinds. I am calm around animals, which has helped me to befriend cats, dogs, and crows alike. I have cared for senior cats, including palliative care for two dying kitties of my own, including administering intravenous fluids and liquid and pill-form meds. My boys will not let me trim their nails, though! Whether it's a cat, dog, guinea pig, or fish, I will treat your pets like my own.

Reviews
Rebekah is a gentle and compassionate caregiver for her four furry life companions Willy, Bob, Killian and Gef. She has also cared for my two good furry friends Blackie and Dash. In fact, Rebekah is one of the very few people I would trust to care for them. She has been a good friend of mine for a very long time and has always been compassionate towards the companions we all love so much.
About Rebecca F.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
If you board with me, I have a guest bedroom that I use for my guest kitties. If they are used to being with other cats and are staying for several days, I will trial introductions to my boys (if you want this experience) after a couple days of segregation. This room has its own litter box and water, windows to sit it, a closet to hide in, and a bed to lay on. This also allows for cats who are free-fed to have their food available without my boys eating it all, or for me to feed your cats their own food, away from my boys. If your cat's stay is confined to the guest room, I will spend a couple hours at day, at least, giving your fur baby some attention with rubs and playtime. If you hire me for drop-ins for cats, dogs, or other animals, I will set up a time to meet your fur family and introduce myself to see if we are a good fit. I will follow your instructions for feeding, toileting, play, exercise, and other pet necessities. This includes pets and playtime, walks, and play. Depending on how many times per day you want me to stop by and how much attention your pet requires, I will dedicate at least an hour (unless you pet prefers less!) per visit. If your pet needs more time, I will work that in.

Information Rebecca F. would like to know about your pet
If your dog is needing oral medications, I am comfortable with administering those. While I haven't done needle pricks for dogs or taken care of dogs with special needs, I am willing to learn if you show me how to care for your special pet. Please let me know if your pet has special dietary or medical needs so I can give your fur babies the best possible care.
A typical day
I will go by your preferences for how to engage with your dog, but options might include walks, trips to the dog park, playing fetch/toys in the backyard, playing with toys in the house, and getting plenty of rubs and pats! I will ensure that your fur family's food water dishes are clean and filled, according to your instructions and that their toileting needs are taken care of.

Availability
If you board cats with me, I will follow your usual feeding schedule if it works with my full-time job schedule, which requires me to be on site approximately 6 hours a day M-F. The rest of time, I work from home. I usually feed my boys twice a day, morning and evening, and clean their litter boxes and refill waters once a day, unless the boxes need more attention.
