Certified Dog Trainer
Hi! So, here's a little about me and my experience with dogs. ~ I'm currently working at PetSmart as a professional certified Area Dog Trainer. ~Growing up I had a dog, a Bichon Frisè breed. I trained and competed in obedience and agility with my dog and other dogs. ~I discovered such a passion for animals that I decided to go to school and major in dog training (from dog sports to behavioural issues) , nutrition, animal behaviour, training, and health care for 3 years in Sweden. ~I've had multiple internships at doggie day cares/boardings and kennels all around Sweden and Ireland. I have worked with veterinarians where I've assisted during surgeries. ~I started my own business when I was 15 where I groomed dogs, trained agility/obedience, and taking dogs on adventurous day trips during my summer breaks. ~A special skill of mine is walking 9 dogs at once no matter what size, breed or age. ~For dogs that are nervous or shy - I have a lot of patience and I can easily go to their level and start to slowly build a connection with them. It's very important to me to build a connection with your furry companion to create a positive experience and to provide comfort for them. ~ My goal is to spread my knowledge throughout America to help dog owners to raise and teach their furry friends in a positive way. Animals have and will always be my biggest passion.

Ratings and reviews
Amazing! Friendly, reliable, personable! I cannot speak highly enough about Rebecca and my dog loved her!
Rebecca is a great dog sitter, I have used Rebecca on a repeat bases when I travel. She loves all animals and it shows in her face. My dogs are always excited to see Rebecca. She is very reliable and honest and would highly recommend her. She is also trained in animal behavior and dog grooming!
Rebecca is a responsible dog lover. In fact, I think she must be part-dog. ALL dogs love her! Her major course of study in school was dog training, and she has taken care of many dogs from grooming to 'dog sitting'. She also has worked/interned as a veterinary assistant.
Rebecca is one of the biggest dog loves I’ve ever met. She’s the only person I know that would love my dog almost as much as me even when she first met him. Rebecca is the only person that I would ever trust with my dog to walk, train and puppy sit. She really knows her stuff!
Rebecca is great with dogs. She takes good care of them making sure they are well cared for. She makes sure they get good exercise both physically and mentally. Rebecca can teach any dog new tricks too. I recommend Rebecca warmly to help out with any dog. Your dog will have a great time with Rebecca!
