Compassionate Canine Caregiver
Pet care experience
Your beloved pet is my new best friend! I've been passionate about animal care as long as I can remember, and grew up taking care of my family dog, Ginger the Lhasa-Poo. My care and affection lead to many dog sitting opportunities on the East coast, and I continued to walk, sit and house-sit for sweet pets and their owners when I relocated to the Bay Area, CA. I’m now back in CT and eager to make more canine connections! I will care for your pet as I would my own. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, and have experience with administering medication and being mindful of special dietary needs. I also have experience caring for blind dogs who might need some extra help, so you can have the utmost confidence that your dog will be given incredible care, in any context. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any inquiries!
Reviews
Rebecca was awesome! Our dog's loved her and they are great judges of character. She was easy going and super responsive! We will use her again for sure!
Rebecca was fantastic! Our 2 big dogs loved her immediately, and we could tell straight away that they would be in capable, caring hands. Rebecca regularly sent us texts showing their adventures together (hikes in the hills, etc) and we were able to relax on our vacation knowing that all was OK at home. When we got back, the dogs were nice and clean (she had bathed them for us) and even though they were happy to see us, they clearly didn't want Rebecca to leave! Without a doubt, she's the best dogsitter we've had and we'll definitely book her again. [Oh, and when we left on vacation we had a problem with ants coming into the house but they had gone when we returned. Rebecca had used her own "green" recipe to deter them from coming in!]
Rebecca is truly a gem! She took such great care of our three pups and consistently communicated with us as to how they were doing. My family truly trusts her wholeheartedly, and we highly recommend her.
Rebecca is dependable and reliable, loves dogs and they love her. Being very responsible she tends to go beyond what is asked of her. Rebecca enjoys going for walks and will do everything possible to take great care of your dog as if it was her own. She has experienced taking care of her family's dog and was able to take care of a blind dog while the owner was away. The owner was so satisfied with Rebecca's care of the dog and asked Rebecca back on numerous occasions. Rebecca also photographed the dog and documented her daily visits. While driving along a highway she rescued two dogs in the rain that were cold and wet and were lost. She was able to contact the owner from information on the dog tags and picked up the dogs, put them in her car and drove them to the owner a half an hour away. The owner was very relieved and grateful.
