Dog lover who works from home
Pet care experience
I've always had a dog in my life growing up from labs to chow chows. I've currently got a senior dog in my home that I help take care. I love to play with dogs from games of tug-o-war to fetch to find the treat/mental stimulation games.
Reviews
We have an older lab that has a hard time getting around and is on pain meds. Rebecca is very patient and gentle with him. He gets all excited when she comes. We also have a female boxer and a 1 year old golden retriever. She is loving with all of them. She is always giving them treats and toys. She also takes them on walks and plays with them. She is always our go to person for our pets. She treats them as if they are her own.
Rebecca is great with our chow chows. She spends good quality time with them. Would use her again! Always on time and more than accommodating with her schedule.

Safety, trust & environment
While I am unable to board or have dogs over at my home for doggy daycare, I am able to go to a client's home and supervise any outdoor, fenced yard plays. If a fenced yard is not available I am able to take the pet out on a leash for any potty trips or walks if requested. I prefer to keep an eye on any pet while they are outside, typically outside with them, to make sure nothing happens to them while they're out. I also take care to clean off any paws and fur if the weather is not nice or the yard is wet/muddy.
Information Rebecca S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if you dog has any special needs or dietary restrictions. That way I know if there is something I need to be aware of, watch out for, or if you're working on training or breaking a habit (such as jumping up).
A typical day
I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally. If treats are allowed I love to play games of find the treat (usually in guessing which hand it's in but also have used treat mats). Otherwise I usually play tug-o-war or fetch with dogs that enjoy those games. Depending on the dog I also will go outside into a yard to play little games of chase and play wrestling.

I'm currently working from home with a flexible schedule so I can do morning, midday, and some evening checks and walks during the week. I am also available for weekends during the morning and afternoon.
