Pet care experience
Hello! Thank you for checking out my profile today. My name is Rebecca, I am a pet sitter located out of South Milwaukee. I offer pet sitting for all animals. From boarding and daycare in my own home to drop in visits, vacation / extended care, and dog walking. I bring 6 years of experience of working with animals, first as a Veterinary Assistant in Milwaukee and also as a Doggy Daycare and in home pet sitter. I have experience working with reactive/ aggressive animals, administering medications and general vet care. I have experience working with dogs in large groups as well as one on one. I have worked with feral cats, domestic cats and everything in between. In addition to cats and dogs I have worked with small mammals, birds, reptiles, and aquatics I am CPR certified, fear free shelter certified, I am trained in working with and evaluating the behavior of fearful / reactive animals. I have years of experience in working with animals, reading body language, assessing temperament and providing tailored care based on the animals needs. I focus personally on enrichment and positive reinforcement. I am passionate about creating environment's and daily routines that instill confidence, trust, love, and happiness in our pets. We love our animals and our care should be a reflection of that love. I am always willing to discuss concerns or questions about your pets care from me and what service will be the right fit for you and your pets needs.
Reviews
Great updates. Great communication. Will definitely be coming back. We know Luna was in great hands.
Rebecca did a great job accommodating Luna's needs as a senior dog. Definitely recommend!
She did an amazing job watching my dachshund, Bentley! He had a blast there! She sent lots of photos and gave updates, and she is very responsive. Will 100% have her watch Bentley again if I need!
We cannot say enough good things about Becky!! She is very dog savvy and focused on the needs of the dogs in her care. She was very tuned in to our little dog's personality and was responsive to his needs. Becky is gentle and patient and spends time with the dogs in her care. She would be a terrific dog sitter for almost any pup, large or small. We will definitely use her again!

Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe and enriching home environment for dogs that would like to spend the day of night with me. I have crates for those that prefer some alone time or are crate trained. I also provide multiple rooms for the dogs to spend nap time and meal times alone for their comfort as well as safety. Each puppy proofed room is gated but can be opened up for play sessions and enrichment / interaction between dogs and myself. I have a converted enrichment room as well that I use for more focused and complex enrichment play sessions. I provide care that is focused primarily on the comfort and safety of each individual animal as well as providing outlets for their energy and mental stimulation through supervised outside time in my yard as well as dog walks throughout the day combined with enrichment and play session and rest periods. My drop in care and dog walks are very similar, my approach is to focus on their comfort and safety as well as what has been requested by the owner. I focus greatly on communication between myself and owners to be sure that they are comfortable every step of the way through boarding, walking, drop in services or daycare. I will always ask for owners ok or input on what is acceptable or not for the care that I provide. I give detailed photo updates and report cards for each animal.

Information Rebecca S. would like to know about your pet
Regarding pups that will be coming to my home for Daycare or Boarding services I do require a meet and greet here at my home first. This is to introduce your pup to my pup Farraday. This also allows me to give you a tour of the home and where they will be staying. We can discuss at this time any quirks, behavioral concerns, questions you have for me, and care regarding feedings/ medications/ and so on. I do have crates at home for those dogs that are crate trained. I also have set up multiple pet gates, and safe spaces for those that are not crate trained to sleep and stay in while feeding or when I am not there to directly supervise.
A typical day
I have a home in a lovely spot in South Milwaukee just across the street from a quiet Cemetery / Park. I walk my own pup Farraday here every day. It is quiet, safe and a beautiful spot to get out of the house and enjoy a long walk. I am fortunate to live close to Grant park as well as Vista Park, also wonderful places to take a pup for a walk. I have an unfenced backyard for quick potty breaks and if you are comfortable with, I have tether leads for pups that would just enjoy to lay out in the sun and bird watch or play some games on the lawn. The upstairs of the home is dedicated to the dogs, all of the furniture is for them to lounge and play on, It is dog proofed and full of enrichment. I have also converted a finished basement room into a dedicated enrichment / Play space for the pups to get out their energy on bad weather days and also in a safe indoor environment where I can do guided games and exercises for them. This includes treat puzzles, a bottle pit, hide and seek toys, flirt poles, and more.
