Looking For Best Friends With Dirty Paws
Pet care experience
I have been taking care of other peoples pets (mainly dogs) since I was 15, when I started to walk a neighbours dog, soon other neighbours asked for help with dogs, cats, rabbits and also puppy pop ins and dog sitting. Then 17 years ago I became a dog owner myself. I am at home every day so a few years ago I began to look after friends, family and neighbours dogs again. I absolutely love dogs, I treat every dog like they’re my own, even if I’ve just met them for five minutes… I am giving kisses. (only if they want them of course) I have a senior dog myself and I looked after a senior dog for a few years so I have experience in older dog care, also having raised three puppies myself I have some knowledge in puppy care. I can promise lots of love, safety, trust and of course kisses.. with the dogs! 😉
Cat care experience
Rebecca also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Becky is lovely. Teddy clicked with her immediately and treated her like a long lost friend. This was Becky's first visit to our house and I felt very comfortable with her. She clearly understands dogs very well and behaves in an affectionate and kind way towards them. I will definitely be in touch with Becky again.
Becky is great. Got on with our dog very well and is great to deal with. Thank you.
Becky is always so happy when she comes to take our dog Poppy out for a walk and I am pleased to say Poppy is just as happy. She is a nervous little dog but Becky is good at taking her places with limited interactions but lots of fun. (we live in a neighbouring village so she knows the area well) Poppy has been to Becky’s house twice now for a weekend and has had a lovely time, we had several meetings with her lovely dogs and then at her house prior to Poppy staying to help her settle due to her nervousness, Becky’s dogs were so good with Poppy after the initial (and natural) excitement they realised Poppy was a ‘quiet one’ so just let her be and apparently was like that all weekend, another relief. We are very happy with the care Poppy receives.
Hi,I totally recommend Rebecca,her passion for dogs is so inspiring, she has looked after my dogs Tilly and Meg many a time.I have re amended her to friends who have dogs, definitely the perfect person with lots of love and passion,Dog parents can be definitely reassured that they will be totally looked after.

My two girls (golden retriever and working cocker) are my best friends so I want the best environment for them, Therefore we have a large fenced grass garden with a 4ft solid wooden gate. We also have a small stone secure back garden which is accessible only through the kitchen, this was created so the girls have access to outside and can go in and out as they please and I know where they are. There is plenty of room inside our house for fun, my two girls like to play hide and seek the green beans. There is plenty of room for a crate if you would like your dog to be in one. There is also a second lounge which is used as a safe space and quiet room for new furry guests if they are feeling overwhelmed when they first arrived. There are lots of walks on my doorstep, great for doggies who don’t like to travel in the car (I have one of those) for those who do travel well we occasionally go to a wood which has lots of great sniffs and is only 10 minutes away and sometimes I hire a secure field 15 minutes away which has agility equipment and lots of space to run. My dogs are free to roam the house and are allowed on the sofas, your doggie whilst at our home will be treated like mine unless you say otherwise regarding sofas, upstairs etc. As for house sitting… I was a babysitter from the ages of 15 - 25 (and did some long weekend stays), I also cleaned at a couple of private houses whilst I was studying and I have been a house-sitter occasionally.. therefore I am very aware of respectful behaviour when in someone else’s house. I will not share your location or any information regarding your home with anyone. And I take my shoes off when I come into your house. ☺️

Availability
I work from home only for a couple of hours a day and this can be at any point during the day so I am quite flexible. ☺️ Due to the fact I have teenage children who do activities and work over both days.. we may be in and out and at football matches but if your doggie is happy to come along, we would gladly take them 🥰 I have three children, but they are 17, 14 and 10 They have all grown up around dogs and are well aware of boundaries. Like me, they love dogs so basically extra cuddles and kisses. Sometimes they will even come out on walks with me, which means extra attention and fun.
