Pet care experience
*Insured for pet sitting, walking, pet transportation and first aid trained* Hello! Excited to meet you and your fluffy pals. I'm dog mad, I have two miniature dachshunds (both rescues) who have separation anxiety and bark like Dobermans as soon as we set foot outside the house. I know what it's like not to be able to leave your dog alone, I use dog sitters myself frequently. I find it extremely difficult leaving my doxies with someone else so I can appreciate how nervous you might be feeling! I'll make it my mission not only to make your dog feel comfortable but you as well. I let dogs approach me first and calmly throw treats for them in the initial meeting, without overwhelming them with attention immediately. Some dogs are uber friendly and this might be unnecessary! But I find this is usually the fastest way to making friends. I've never known life without dogs. I was 20 (I'm 30 now) when I helped my 15 year old cocker spaniel through his old age, my parents surprised me with him as a puppy when I was 5. I also had a beautiful Spaniel cross rescue girl as a second family dog and a visiting Border Collie who was very protective of my younger self. My first loves! Over the years I have dog sat for many friends, family and colleagues - everything from a Shih Tzu, Maltese, Labradoodle, Labrador to a Greek Kokoni and beyond!
Reviews
Rebecca is absolutely lovely, she has a very calm and kind nature, Mylo loved her as soon as he met her! I felt very happy and reassured, especially as I received lots of photos and videos of Mylo on his walk and I will 100% be booking with Rebecca again🙂
Rebecca looked after Rudy while we were away and she was great with him. Rebecca kept us updated several times a day sending us photos and videos. I would definitely recommend Rebecca and she will be my go to sitter in the future.
Such a great help and obviously Rebecca loves what she does! Very thankful for the pictures and updates. So glad he was good! Thank you so much ☺️
Rebecca is absolutely lovely! We had some trouble with the key not working but she was very patient and helpful. Both our pets seemed very happy and content when we got back from our trip. She sent lots of pictures and videos and they seemed to be having a lovely time!! Will absolutely reach out again next time - thank you Rebecca!

I'll never force attention onto your dog other than using distractions such as treats and toys, I'll let them come to me when they're ready to say hello in the early stages to allow them to get to know me gradually. The more info you can tell me about your pup the better!
Information Rebecca H. would like to know about your pet
Please inform me: - If your dog has any allergies and if they are on any medication. - What your dogs diet and schedule for feeding and walking is. - Which situations / triggers cause your dog to be reactive, if any.
A typical day
Some dogs like playing pretty much constantly! Others just want to be on your lap on the sofa or want their own space. Some love to say hello to other dogs and humans when out and about, others get really fearful on walks. Some hate fast movements, others aren't bothered. I'll get to know your dog and the areas that they enjoy having their walks and adapt plans for their needs. I know of some lovely areas in Basingstoke if you would like your dog to experience new places. If not I'll stick to your local / usual walks. House care is also just as important, I'll treat your home like it's my own.

Availability
My husband and I work from home, which leaves me free to leave my own pups in his constant care, is I'm flexible to dog sit for other owners at their homes. I am available weekdays. I prefer to block off weekends to spend with my family. I'll adapt my day to suit your dogs and I'll make sure they are happy, stimulated and relaxed with constant picture updates.
