Pet care experience
I have had my own dog for the last four years now. She is a Cavapoo called Hope. I have also had various experience looking after other peoples dogs over the last three years. Including; - Three years of dedicated care for two sausage dogs, including weekly sitting, pop-in visits, and boarding during the owner's holidays. - Regularly watched a neighbours six-month-old Golden Retriever puppy every Tuesday while they were at work. - Provided boarding services for a friend's Cocker Spaniel at their home, ensuring attentive care and companionship. I am also First Aid/CPR trained and insured.
Reviews
Rebecca has been fantastic,has gone above and beyond whilst looking after our Doffie.Our Doffie loved her and Rebecca shared photos and details of their walks together via the Rover card system which was very reassuring that we left Doffie in Rebecca’s very capable hands.The bonus was Rebecca is a very lovely,warm and friendly person who took the time to get to know us and Doffie before our booking and definitely book her again and thoroughly recommend her to look after your beloved pets.
Rebecca has looked after my cats when I've been away from home for a number of years now. I have a slightly complicated set of instructions for how much eat cat needs to be fed, where to feed each one, and what times they're allowed outside, and she has always followed these requirements with no issue. She always gives me regular updates on how they're doing, and leaves the whole house (including litter trays!) spotless. She is the first person I trust to house- and pet-sit for me.
Thank you to Rebecca I was able to going on holiday without a single worry. She was very professional and she took the best care of my dog. I will definitely ask her again in future!
Rebecca is a responsible and conscious person. She’s also caring and loves to take care of animals. She’s the person we trust most with our two cats every time we go on holiday, and they loved her so much too. When we left for 3 weeks last year we were so worried as we never left them for such a long time, but she’s been amazing with them and they almost didn’t felt our absence. I highly recommended her.
About Rebecca O.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my approach to caring for pets, safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are paramount. I ensure that the environment is free from hazards, including securing gates and fences and keeping potentially harmful objects out of reach. When walking dogs, I prioritise routes that are safe and free from heavy traffic or other dangers. I always keep them on a leash unless in a secure area. I love to build trust with pets through positive engagement, patience, and consistent care. I take the time to understand their individual needs, preferences, and behaviours. I strive maintain open and transparent communication channels to provide updates on their pet's well-being and address any concerns promptly. I will always adhere to the pet owner's instructions and routines closely, ensuring that their furry companions feel secure and comfortable in my care. Whether in my home or the pet owner's home, I strive to create a welcoming and nurturing environment. This includes providing cozy bedding, engaging toys, and ample opportunities for exercise and mental stimulation. I will maintain cleanliness and hygiene standards to promote a healthy environment for pets. Regular feeding, grooming, and litter box cleaning are part of my routine care. I tailor the environment to suit the specific needs of each pet. This could involve adjusting the temperature, providing calming music, or creating designated play areas to accommodate their preferences.
