25+ yr full-time Pro pet sitter

Pet care experience

I pride myself on integrity, dependability and communication. I've been apart of rescue organizations for over two decades. I've been a foster parent and trainer for Bichon Frises, Greyhounds, SPCA cats and dogs. Medication - there's no problem with me, even injections. I have experience with post-surgical, diabetes management, anxiety, and chronic condition animals. With all of my rescues and fosters, I've done potty training, crate training, and behavior modification. I currently have an empty nest since my last pet crossed the rainbow bridge in 2017 and my life prior to Rover was lots of sporadic last minute travel. I do Rover full-time while working on my tech start up business. I'm also licensed, incorporated (Paw Whisperer LLC) and insured ABOVE and beyond Rover Care. If I'm not available, I do have a team of pet sitters in my company that I personally hire and have great reviews with. So with me, you get above and beyond in care, coverage, and more. For those owners looking for an in-home pet sitter, I work from home all day - Pre and post covid. So for animals that need extra attention I can be there. I only go out if I have a doctor's appointment, meetings somewhere in the area that's 4 hours or less, or go grocery shopping / run errands. If a dog needs me to be home more often, it's not a difficult thing for me to adapt around. From my reviews, you'll see I'm a perfect house guest and leave your home in the same if not better condition as when I arrived. I've also been the sitter that people call because we are dependable. We have options if there is an emergency. I've also never cancelled on a client leaving them in a lurch (even when my father passed). I've halted boarding or daycare, in my home, due to new carpet and a new roommate with a cat. I can do daycare in your home, if that is an option.

Rebecca is incredible! The communication we received over the course of the week was perfect. We received daily messages along with pictures. Our dogs were loved while we were away and that is a great thing to know. I highly recommend Rebecca!

Rebecca was amazing! We have an elderly dog but she was very patient, compassionate and loving. She was very professional and sent us daily updates and pics of our baby. We are very thankful for having her take care of Tank. Thanks so much, Rebecca. ?

Rebecca is amazing! I will be using her again. She understands dogs with special needs. She sends photos often while you're away along with updates. Rebecca is responsive to messages, and you can tell she truly loves all animals!

100% satisfied! Reliable and communicative. This was a short trip away from the fur-babies. Max and Charlotte seemed to really like Rebecca. Will definitely book in the future :-)

Safety, trust & environment

The animals I take care of receive a lot of attention, and I have a very relaxing easygoing energy that will keep dogs with high anxiety in a mellower environment. I keep to their regular schedule so you don't have to worry about reacclimating your pet to your schedule. I usually am with my clients 18-24 hours a day, leaving them only for as long as their limit is. Never more than 4-6 hours. Communication will be as often as you like with pictures and videos. As you'll see from my reviews, my clients prefer me staying in their home and I treat it with respect, like a true Girl Scout, returning it to you in the same if not better condition than I received it. With my Paw Whisperer LLC company, I also am licensed and insured on my own with a $1 Mil Liability and additional Pet Injury/Demise Policy. You want the best for your pet(s) with a true professional taking care of them and your property.

Information Rebecca P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs, diets, allergies, regular schedule, and even what triggers negative behavior; including barking habits. I am completely comfortable with extra large breeds to feisty small breeds. Also, please let me know how often you wish to be sent updates on your babies. I usually schedule my updates once a day, about mid-afternoon. If you would like more, please let me know. But do try to enjoy your trip and not worry too much about the babies having a great time with me. If you do have training needs, I am skilled in positive reinforcement training or gentle training. I don't use shock collars or prong collars. If you are interested in that service, it is an upcharge based on initial complimentary meet n greet and follow up pet owner training.

A typical day

II can walk/drive your pet to a local dog park in the area. If you provide toys, we can play in house or at the park. I can do puppy play dates in neutral areas if you would like them to be socialized. For a treat, we can walk or drive to the local Starbucks and get a pup cup, or we can go out to eat al fresco at a dog-friendly restaurant. I will be keeping to their schedule and their preferred potty situation whether that's going on puppy pads, out in the backyard that's fenced, walks in the neighborhood, or going to a local park. We will definitely be cuddling up on the couch and in bed if they are allowed to sleep or sit on furniture. Whatever their favorite activity is we will definitely be doing on a regular basis.
