Pet care experience
I have taken care of pets my whole life. Growing up in Germany, I used to walk my grandmother’s Bernese mountain dog almost every day. When I moved to San Francisco, I started fostering senior dogs from Muttville SF and I volunteer at the shelter every week, walking, feeding, medicating and most importantly cuddling mutts. I eventually adopted one of my foster dogs and we’ve been exploring the hills and parks of San Francisco together ever since. I work from home and I have a flexible schedule. I will mostly be able to accommodate midday and afternoon walks, but mornings can work, too depending on my schedule. I walk dogs on leash around the neighborhood, making sure they get plenty of exercise and sniffs. I treat dogs with kindness, love and positive reinforcement. I give them their space and let them come to me to gain their trust.
Reviews
this is the first time I have used Rebecca. she seemed really nice and very on top of things.
October 4, 2022 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to express my support for Rebecca Schupp and my appreciation for the skills, compassion, and thoughtfulness she brings to her volunteer role at Muttville. Rebecca’s duties include assisting Pack Leaders, basic cleaning of the facility, feeding, and oftentimes medicating. While her responsibilities do not require it, Rebecca regularly begins her shift by walking the house-trained dogs — in other words, those that most urgently needed to get out. (If not for her, these dogs would have to wait several hours for afternoon volunteers to arrive and provide bathroom breaks.) Rebecca also provides insight and knowledge to potential adopters about the dogs she has come to know well. Additionally, she helps guide and train volunteers in dog walking and handling activities and often facilitates meet-and-greets between potential adopters’ dogs. We here at Muttville know and appreciate the level of competence Rebecca demonstrates. She performs her duties diligently and responsibly and does so with a congenial attitude. We believe she is a dedicated and high-performing volunteer. We encourage Rover to consider Rebecca for employment. We are certain you will not be disappointed. I include my email address should you wish to contact me. Sincerely, Jose Barragan josebarr.dogs@gmail.com
Rebecca is an animal lover extraordinaire. My dog (a 10yr old 75lb black lab mix) is a bit of a tough customer with most strangers, but he's been in love with her ever since they met seven years ago. When she comes over, they lie on the floor together and share a game and a laugh. In the last several years, Rebecca has fostered other dogs and is now a foster-fail to senior dog Paisley, giving Paisley a life and all the love far beyond what she could ever have hoped for. I've worked with Rebecca as well, she's empathetic and responsible, conscientious and attentive. I'd have no issues giving my dog to her care. In fact, I really wish we lived closer together so that she could come dog-sit my pup when I travel.
Becci watches my dog regularly and is a wonderful dog person. She loves to take the dogs on walks and to the park. She is very caring and responsible. I am trusting her with my senior dog and have no hesitation to recommend her as a walker or sitter whatsoever.

Safety, trust & environment
I walk dogs on a leash in the neighborhood and I typically bring my dog along. I approach dogs with kindness and make sure they are always safe.
Information Rebecca S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know what your dog is like. What are their favorite treats, games, etc. Are they good with other dogs? Anything else I need to know (reactive to people, children, other dogs?) Can your dog do stairs?
A typical day
I love to take dogs on adventures around the neighborhood so they get all the exercises they need and get stimulated by all the different smells.
