Pet care experience
Don't worry! That was doggie ice-cream with owner approval in the picture! I have raised all sorts of pets since I was a child. Tiny to huge. I have been pet sitting for 5 years now and have cared for all sorts from the elderly and infirm to the puppies in training. Recently I watched 3 dogs for an entire week and it was so much fun to have their lively spirits in my home. I understand deeply the care dogs and cats need and have done it first hand with my own elderly pets. I have a large SUV and have been known to load up the dogs and walk the woods on the coast. My yard is very large and only missing fencing by the garage which my truck blocks. We currently have no pets but I find that pet sitting brings so much love, laughter and joy into our lives!
Reviews
Our dogs (elderly dog and grumpy hound) were loved and cared for, and we were completely relaxed leaving them with Rebecca. We’ll hire her again for sure.
Rebecca & her daughter Lily were awesome! We left our dog Ginger for 8 days and she settled in right at home there and enjoyed the quiet and cozy life. Appreciated the updates and pictures and flexibility with pick up and drop off! Ginger definitely found a new second home.
Rebecca was so patient with my anxious boy when he acted up right after I left him! She seems very caring and sent me updates about how my dog was doing during his stay, and I would definitely use her as a sitter again.
We are very happy to have had the opportunity to meet Rebecca and really appreciate her help and patience with our dog. Rebecca is very detailed not only about doggy instructions but also about feedback for owners. Thanks a lot!

Safety, trust & environment
We have always have had multiple pets as a family since I was a child. If we are lucky enough to share our house with your dog/cat we will love on them like our own. My daughter and I work together to make sure they are walked regularly, cuddled often, have a lap to sit on when needed and played with when they give us the "stink eye." We are well versed in special needs care for your pets as well. Last summer we had a dog stay with us for a week that had just had surgery. Clients have also been know to drive all the way from Chicago to drop their dogs off with us for extended stay on their way to vacation.

Information Rebecca H. would like to know about your pet
I have taken care of my own and other special needs, elderly, just out of surgery dogs. I am a health nut and love to take care of my people and pets. They will be in good hands with me.
A typical day
We will take morning walks in the woods or around my woodsy neighborhood. There are tons of good smells and greenspace. Some time playing outside in the yard if needed. While I work your fur baby can cuddle up next to me on the floor or couch. If my day is free we may drive to the coast and go for a hike. If your dog is special needs or a senior there will be lots of cuddles and pets. At night we go for shorter walks and cuddle up for the night.
