Highlights
Pet care experience
Active Pet Owner with Backyard
Hi! My name is Rebecca, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets. I currently have two Great Danes (ages 11 and 2), two cats, and a chinchilla, so I’m very comfortable managing both large and small animals with different needs and personalities. Growing up with dogs has given me a strong understanding of behavior, training basics, and daily care routines. I’m especially experienced with large and giant breeds and understand their unique needs, including exercise limits, joint care, and bloat prevention in deep-chested dogs. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, as we recently lost our 9-year-old Great Dane, so I’m comfortable with slower-paced walks, medication routines, and providing gentle, attentive care for older pets. At the same time, I can keep up with high-energy dogs who need playtime, enrichment, and structured activity. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I treat every animal like my own and always prioritize their wellbeing, safety, and happiness.

Schedule
I work remotely part-time as a registered dietitian. My days are free after 9am for house visits. If making house visits, it would occur after that time. Walks during the summer are limited with heat, aim for evening or grassy fields to run some energy out during the day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my client’s home, I care for pets by following their established routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding according to instructions, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks or walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure litter boxes are cleaned, accidents are addressed promptly, and the home is left tidy. For dogs, I prioritize safe leash handling, structured walks, and attention to each dog’s energy level and mobility needs. I’m experienced with large breeds and senior dogs, so I adjust activity accordingly and always prioritize safety (including awareness of bloat risk in deep-chested dogs like Great Danes). For cats, I focus on calm, respectful care—making sure they feel secure, keeping their environment clean, and giving attention based on their personality (whether they are social or prefer space). I also make sure litter boxes are cleaned daily and routines are consistent. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to provide reliable, attentive care so owners can feel confident while they’re away. I also provide updates and photos so you know your pets are safe and happy.

A typical day
Activities will depend on what the owner is comfortable with, what the dog can handle, and weather permits- but not limited to walks, hikes, and water fun.
