Pet care experience
Dog whisperer!
My name is Rebecca. I am an IT professional and Realtor and I work remotely during the day and go to class at night. My mom now lives with me and partners with me to watch my guest dogs while I'm in class. I used to want to be a vet, but couldn't imagine having to put an animal down, so I went a different route with my career. I have been a dog owner for 20+ years (We'll just leave it at that before I reveal my youthful age.) A while after my dog, Nala, passed away, I accepted a furry husky (Sasha) that needed a new home - via a Rover client! I believe that dogs need as much exercise as possible, especially if they are indoor dogs, and I love to walk/jog. I am a firm believer that dogs should be treated like dogs, not like humans - i.e. need to be well-trained as a dog, and I am pretty good at that! However, that's not to say that I don't spoil my dog or other dogs from time to time :) I don't typically let animals on my furniture, but it happens. Exceptions can be made - Nala used to sneak on the sofas when I was away and I let her cuddle with me when she's not feeling well :) I am not intimidated by aggressive dogs or any breed of dogs, big or small. We just need to show them who's boss and let them know where their place is! I have cared for Great Pyrenees, Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, etc. and even the tiny ones with big attitudes :) I love dogs more than I do humans a lot of the time, and will be pleased to take care of yours! Please read my entire profile, as there may be answers to potential questions you may have! If you're unsure of tipping etiquette, mine is quite simple - please leave a good review if you appreciated my services and your pup had a great time under my care! If you have concerns, please communicate that with me, or if you prefer to voice your concerns in a review, I believe in full transparency, too!

Ratings and reviews
Kalen thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Rebecca. Look forward to boarding with her again!
This is the third time Rebecca has taken care of Olaf and Pinky, and they absolutely love her. They are always happy and well cared for, and we have complete peace of mind when they're with her. Great communication, reliable care, and a wonderful experience every time. Highly recommended!
Rebecca was excellent with taking care of Lucy. She gave regular updates and responded quickly to texts. I can tell that Lucy was comfortable staying with her.
Rebecca is a great sitter! Benji has stayed with her twice now and each time he’s hesitant to leave because he loved Rebecca and his stay. I highly recommend Rebecca to watch your fur baby!!
Rebecca is such a wonderful sitter for our Roxy. Very accommodating, and sent us some updates during the stay. We're so glad we booked her!
Rebecca was great, she was communicative, friendly on time and I truly felt like Poppy was being cared for while I was away. I would absolutely trust her to care for Poppy again.

Schedule
Other than errands and activities, I am always with the pups! My mom lives with me and loves to help out and spoil the pups as well. We live in the Brookhaven neighborhood in northwest Raleigh, close the intersection of Ray Rd and Lynn Rd.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced-in front yard and a grown, spayed, female Husky that loves to play. She is aggressive around her food, but I keep her separated during feeding time, as I do with most dogs. I take up to 3 or 4 dogs at a time, which may or may not include my own, and have two living rooms, a finished basement, a sunroom, and a dining room in which the dogs can be separated if/when needed.
Pets
A typical day
Dog activities: - Walks and/or jogs around the residential neighborhood (this is included with boarding) - Training/reinforcement training sessions with treats (unless otherwise advised) Other things to note: - Please check my rates for other services such as baths, extra walks, pick-up/drop-off etc. - If you would like to refer me to another dog owner, please let them know to go to my profile and ask for my promo code (Rover doesn't allow me to share that here). I don't get any reward (other than a new client), but they will get $20 off their first booking!
