Excited to take care of your pet!
Pet care experience
I have had a lot of experience taking care of a variety of animals over the years! I grew up taking care of our family dog Dottie, an adorable Shiba Inu, including taking her for walks, feeding her, bathing her, and taking her to her vet appointments. I started pet sitting/house sitting for my family friends when I was a Sophomore in High School! Since then I have been able to take care of multi-pet homes (including ones with sheep and chickens! I’m a big walker (around 6-10 miles a day) and look forward to taking your pet(s) for long walks!
Reviews
Becca was excellent with our Casper. She was very patient with him and took him for regular walks, as weather conditions allow. Casper hates rain. She is very friendly and we are going to rebook as her availability permits.
Rebecca is an excellent dog caretaker. I had a few days where I was gone for much too long for my dog Chloe to be home alone, and Rebecca took her for a walk and gave her lots of loves. Rebecca treated Chloe as if she was her own, and I know Chloe enjoyed the time they spent together.
In June, I adopted a rescue Beagle mix from Brew Midwest. When Rebecca came to Pgh in August, Pepper, still shy and uncertain quickly bonded with Becca who reinforced sit, stay, come and began more training. Becca’s warmth and knowledge of dog behavior has won Pepper’s trust and love. Having worked with two national volunteer organizations, Food Core in Montana, and Repair the World in Pgh, Becca has demonstrated her trustworthiness, her responsibility to take on hard work, and her goal of doing good work. Pepper can attest that she is a superb dog walker/ companion. (Pepper is about four years old.)
Rebecca is an AMAZING dog sitter. For many years Rebecca has helped us care lovingly for our dogs, fulfilling their needs and energy as puppies as well as their more specialized needs and care as they grew older. Rebecca is very reliable and took the time needed to develop a special bond with our pups; our dogs quickly fell in love with her. Rebecca is also detail-oriented and organized, and having Rebecca as a dog-sitter has enabled us to not worry about our pets when we aren't able to be home with them.
