Pet care experience

Loving, low-key & lots of attention

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.

Rebecca was amazing! We had a last minute request and she obliged and saved the day! Very caring and concerned for our babies. Came out the day before for meet and greet. Day of sitting she was on time and spent the whole day with them. They loved her! She provided pictures and messages throughout the day so we knew they were happy and healthy. I would recommend Rebecca to anyone who needs a sitter for their four legged babies. She is awesome!

Schedule

Watching and walking dogs is my full-time profession. All my energy is devoted to taking care of dogs. I screen dogs carefully to make sure we are a good fit.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Rebecca can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
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.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
