Pet care experience

Professional Animal Care

Experienced Animal Caregiver | Dogs, Cats & Beyond Animals have been a major part of my life both personally and professionally. My experience includes pet sitting as well as professional animal care, including working as a zookeeper and later Head Zookeeper. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents, exotic animals, and hoof stock, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities, behaviors, routines, and care needs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you're away. I take the time to learn each animal's individual routine and personality so I can provide care that feels familiar, comfortable, and consistent.

My friend recommended Rebecca to me when I needed a sitter for my two pups for the weekend. She let them stay at her house which I was SO thankful for. My dogs are my needy so they need a lot more than someone just checking in on them a couple times a day. Them staying at her house really made getting the attention they need possible and I couldn't be more happy with how things turned out. They love her and I love her! Now anytime I need to be out of town she's my go to sitter.

Rebecca has taken care of my pets on many occasions and I always feel confident that they are in great hands. I have domestic and exotic animals that require strict diets and schedules. She always goes above and beyond to ensure their needs are met and makes me feel comfortable going out of town with her excellent communication skills and attention to detail. I highly recommend Rebecca if you want to be sure your animals are going to be well taken care of and given the attention they need while you’re away.

Rebecca is a natural animal person. She took care of my 2 cats, 4 dogs, fish, frog, tarantula, and snakes. It was hard to come by somebody who was experienced with taking care of so many different animals. She is great.

The most amazing dog sitter EVER! I've never had a dog sitter like Rebecca before! She was attentive, respectful, enriching and engaging to my dog Amare. She attended to my dogs needs, he has a lot of energy and needs lots of playtime, and Rebecca went above and beyond to provide him with loads of playtime! When I need a dog sitter again, I will now and forever request Rebecca!!

Rebecca is great she watched my fur babies and she did an amazing job! She was on top when she cared for my senior dogs. Rebecca was great she would take really great care of my dogs and she was always communicative and alert and always let me know if something was of concern. I would never let anyone but Rebecca watch my Animals. She treats my babies as if they were her own and they love anytime she gets to watch them. I would full heartedly recommend Rebecca to anyone who needs their babies taken care of.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, check-ins, and other individual care needs. I’m accustomed to caring for animals every day and understand how important consistency and routine are. I can also accommodate different schedules and spend quality time with pets rather than rushing through visits.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for each pet according to their normal routine and their owner’s instructions, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or potty care, playtime, enrichment, medications when needed, and plenty of individual attention. I take time to learn each animal’s personality and comfort level and never force interaction. My professional animal-care background has taught me to closely observe behavior, body language, appetite, and other changes that could indicate stress or a health concern. I prioritize safety, keep the pet’s environment clean and secure, and treat every client’s home with care and respect. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day is centered around your pet’s normal routine, personality, and favorite activities. For dogs, that might include walks, outdoor time, games, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention and affection. For cats, it could mean interactive toys, play sessions, brushing, enrichment, window watching, or simply relaxing together if that’s what they prefer. I enjoy getting to know what makes each animal happy and adjusting our time together to their energy level and personality. Whether your pet loves adventure, playtime, cuddles, or just having a calm companion nearby, I want their time with me to feel comfortable, engaging, and fun.

I’d love to know about your pet’s normal routine, personality, favorite activities, feeding schedule, medications or health needs, and anything that may make them nervous or uncomfortable. Please also let me know about any behavioral concerns, escape tendencies, reactivity, allergies, mobility needs, or other safety considerations. For dogs, it’s helpful to know their walking habits and how they respond to other dogs, people, and animals. For cats, I’d like to know their preferred hiding spots, social comfort level, and litter box routine. The more I know about what is normal for your pet, the better I can keep them comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away.
