Consistent Care for Busy Pet Parent
I specialize in premium, detail-oriented care for dogs that need both a physical outlet and mental enrichment. Whether your dog is a social butterfly or a sensitive soul who needs a little extra grace, I tailor my approach to ensure they are tired, happy, and secure by the time you get home. Having managed the pulling power of large breeds and raised reactive, high-drive mixes, I know firsthand that not every dog is an easy walker. I bring a calm, highly disciplined, and observant approach to every visit. What truly sets me apart is my commitment to not just your pet's well-being, but your total peace of mind. My Special Skills & Premium Services Include: High-Drive & Large Breed Management: Confident, safe leash-handling and focused exercise for powerful working breeds and strong pullers. Behavioral Reinforcement: Utilizing consistent positive reinforcement, professional handling techniques, and keen observation of canine body language. Reactive Dog Handling: Creating safe, predictable, and low-stress environments for anxious or sensitive dogs. The "Extras" Standard: Going above and beyond with thorough post-visit clean-ups, basic maintenance brushing, and exceptional respect for your home. Unmatched Communication: Providing highly detailed updates and quality photos so you never have to guess how your pet's day is going. I am dedicated to building long-term bonds and am currently prioritizing clients looking for reliable, recurring weekly walks and drop-ins.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether I am taking your dog for an engaging walk, visiting for a midday drop-in, or providing extended in-home care, your pets and your property are treated with the highest level of respect. My approach to pet care combines physical exercise with targeted mental engagement. I love incorporating short, positive training sessions and enrichment games into our day to keep their minds sharp. They will get plenty of scheduled feedings and "tummy rub" downtime, but they will also get the structure and focused play they need to stay happy and appropriately tired out. When caring for pets in your home, my "extras" are standard. You can expect: Total Home Respect: I leave your home exactly as I found it—or cleaner! This includes thorough post-walk wipe-downs so muddy paws never track through your house. Premium Upkeep: I am happy to provide basic maintenance like brushing to keep your pet's coat looking great between grooming appointments. Complete Peace of Mind: You will never have to wonder how things are going. I provide comprehensive, highly detailed updates and quality photos after every single visit. Your dog won't just be watched; they will be active, engaged, and exceptionally well cared for.
Ratings and reviews
Rebecca did an awesome job with our fuzzy kiddos Highly recommended 👍👍
Rebecca, She did a terrific job with our pack! Highly recommended
Rebecca was amazing - we last minute needed a sitter and she was able to help. She would send us updates when she would drop in and we loved the pictures she sent us as well. She did a great job and I already rebooked her!
Rebecca cared for our three cats for about a week and a half, doing drop ins every other day. She was kind and communicative from start to finish, and went above and beyond to keep us and our kitties happy including lots of playtime, topping off food and water, and even watering a plant for us and bringing packages inside. Would book her again for future travel!
Rebecca was an absolutely wonderful sitter for our pups! She was incredibly attentive, made sure all of their needs were met, and gave them so much love and care. Our dogs can be a bit high-energy and challenging at times, but she handled them with ease and confidence. From brushing them to bringing them toys and treats, Rebecca went above and beyond to make sure they felt happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for them and treated them like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!

Schedule
Pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it is my full-time profession! As the owner and operator of A&A Professional Pet Care, my entire week is built around providing exceptional, highly reliable care for your pets. I am officially accepting new clients in the Temple area starting September 21st, and I am here to stay! Here is how my schedule works to serve you and your pets: Consistent, Recurring Schedules: My primary focus is establishing reliable, weekly routines for walks and drop-ins.

Dedicated Midday Care (9 AM - 5 PM): I am available Monday through Friday to provide the perfect midday break. Whether your dog needs an engaging walk, a structured drop-in, or focused mental enrichment while you work, I have you covered. Select Weekend Coverage: I offer weekend care on a rotating basis, providing trusted drop-in coverage for those busy Saturdays or quick weekend getaways.

- To provide the safest and most enriching experience for your pet, I love to have a clear picture of their routine, quirks, and preferences before our first visit. The more details you can provide, the better! Please let me know: Behavior & Handling: How they typically behave on walks (any leash pulling, high prey drive, or reactivity to dogs/people) and the specific walking gear you prefer to use. Motivation & Play: What gets them excited! Their favorite toys, games, and any specific commands or "tips and tricks" you use at home so I can maintain consistency in their training. Health & Wellness: Any dietary restrictions, allergies, and specific medication schedules or health needs. Boundaries: Any house rules (like staying off certain furniture) so I can ensure I am reinforcing your expectations. My goal is to seamlessly integrate into your dog's established routine so they feel completely comfortable.
