Dogs are people too.

Pet care experience

Thank you for your interest in Cold Noses dog sitting! "Everyone thinks they have the best dog. And none of them are wrong." -- W.R. Purche I have always had a special connection with animals. Even though I do not speak the same language as any animals, I still understand them on another level. I did not have pets growing up which only fueled my passion for animals. To satiate my adoration for these creatures, I would go around the neighborhood taking care of the local pets. I would care for fish, cats, snakes, goats, horses and of course dogs. Be a family traveling for the day or for a month or if I wanted to just visit a creature of some sort, I would do everything and anything to care for peoples loved ones. I came highly recommended due to my love and admiration for all animals as well as my attention to detail with special needs pets and troubled pets. I cared for pets throughout the long summer heat, the muddy trenches of spring and the bitter cold of winter. I did not just feed pets and leave. I would spend quality time with the animals and I treated them exactly how I would want my own animals to be treated: like my best friend. I am very intelligent, patient, gentle, fearless and loving. No animal intimates me or is too much for me to handle. I can handle anything from constricting deadly snakes, rearing and bucking horses, and aggressive canines. I understand animals on another level. I know that there is a reason for their behavior and I consider that every time I have an interaction with one. Because of my interactions with a myriad of creatures and specific situations, I am extremely knowledgeable about behavioral issues as well as medical issues. I am not just loving to animals, but able to remain calm and problem solve accordingly. As I grew older and became independent, I adopted dogs of my own. My dogs are paramount in my life and nothing makes me happier and more proud than seeing not just my dogs, but all dogs and animals happy and healthy and loving life. Know that if you choose me to care for your dogs, they will be protected, loved, played with, fed, nurtured and happy. Life is better with a dog. *ALL PAYMENTS TENDERED AT TIME OF SERVICE*

Rebecca is an amazing, kind, compassionate, and loving person who would always be the first person I would want taking care of any pet of mine. Seeing Rebecca with a pet be it her own or someone else's is truly special. The care she shows them and the way it makes both her and whatever animal she's with shine with happiness is truly special. There is no one more dependable and caring to take of your pets. I would not hesitate to have her take care of any pet of mine and I cannot recommend her enough!

Rebecca was so wonderful with our fur babies! She honored all our requests for them while we were away. They were so well cared for. They actually looked for her after she left! We have every confidence in Rebecca caring for our babies whenever we need to travel away from home for an extended period of time. We highly recommend her! Tanya P

Rebecca is a client of the veterinary practice I manage. She is one of our favorite clients. She always goes above and beyond for her pets, is 100% compliant with all of our suggestions and is by far one of the most compassionate people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Her pets are lucky to have her as an owner and we are lucky to have her as a client!

Rebecca believes dogs are some of the best people out there. Just asking about her own dogs results in a happy response each and every time. Her gentle Great Pyrenees and her young lab mix enjoy comfortable and attentive living everyday. Her open schedule will be an asset to her ability to work around your dog's special needs. Rebecca lives directly next to an animal hospital in the unlikely event it be needed. She also will utilize many venues locally to exercise and help your dog relax in your absence.

Information Rebecca P. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting for a pet, I need to know any health issues, medications and dosage and behavioral issues. I do not have a breed preference. I love all dogs.

A typical day

I will walk the dog wherever it feels happy! Up and down the block a few times definitely or if it is comfortable just in the backyard, that is fine too! I will play tug of war with the dogs, hide and seek, tag, fetch and those are just a few games! If I have permission from the owner, I would happily take any dog to the dog park for a supervised and fun-filled day. Afterwards, perhaps even a dip in some water! And of course, I am more than happy and willing to give your dog a bath!
