Safety, trust & environment

While in your home I follow your guidelines so you have peace of mind while you are away. It will be wonderful to see your dog in its familiar environment.

Information Rebecca R. would like to know about your pet

The most important this for me is energy level. I am best with low and medium low energy dogs. Does your dog have special needs and how well do they get along with other dogs. If they have any quirks that's very helpful to know. Please make sure they are up to date on all vaccinations, especially their rabies shot. I would like to know if they have been treated for fleas.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Depending on where you live will depend on where I take your dog. We may just walk around your neighborhood or I may put them in the car to take them on walks to different parks around the area. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will follow whatever routine you have with it. If you allow it to sleep in bed with you I will allow it to sleep in bed with me. Time I'll spend with your dog I am at home so the most I'm away is when I run errands or walk dogs. The longest I'm ever gone is 3 hours. Please let me know if there are certain times or days of the week where your dog needs extra care. For example - some dogs I have taken care of do not like garbage day so I make sure to have them out of the neighborhood when the garbage trucks come through.

Loving, low-key & lots of attention

Pet care experience

In September 2023 I retired from the Seattle area. I’m now open in the Sherman/Denison, Texas area. I have a flexible schedule and time to care for dogs. After almost a decade of watching dogs in my home I am currently focusing on caring for your dog in your house. I'm a small business owner with years of experience in the medical care field as a nurse’s aide, physician’s assistant, EKG tech, and home health aide. I am also a teacher, writer, researcher and editor. I adopt senior dogs so am very aware of the issues that our older canines face. Four of mine have had eye issues so I’m very comfortable with administering eye drops and salves. I can also pill dogs, give injections and change dressings. I am able to accommodate special dietary needs. I look forward to meeting you. Why I love dog sitting While I've loved dogs my whole life, I didn't get my own dog until 2005 when I adopted Simba, a 10 year old Chinese Crested. Pixie and Marvin were seniors when I adopted them. Bizbee and Charlie were permanent fosters. I love the Chinese crested personality and cuteness! I love all dogs but especially love our senior citizens. I currently do not have a dog but will someday in the future.

We had such a wonderful experience with Rebecca! She took amazing care of our dogs and kept us updated throughout the day with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We could tell our dogs were happy and comfortable the entire time. I would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!

Rebecca is consistently good and reliable and provides loving care for our two dogs during our absence. You will not find a better home and pet sitter than Rebecca.
