Work From Home Dog Lover

Hi! I’ve spent a lifetime around dogs and understand that every pup has a unique personality and needs. I grew up with a lovable wheaten terrier, helped care for my roommate’s dog throughout college, and—most meaningful of all—shared my adult life with my three‑legged greyhound Rooney, who lived with separation anxiety. Those experiences taught me patience, empathy, and how to create routines that help dogs feel safe, seen, and relaxed. Rooney has since passed, and while I miss her very much, I now have the opportunity to open up my home to your loveable fur baby. Some aspects that set me apart from other sitters include the following: 1. I only take one client at a time. While socialization is important for dogs, safety is always my number one priority. I personally think that safest option for boarding does not include introducing dogs that don't know each other in a new environment. I do take multiple dogs from the same household, but otherwise, your dog will be the only one in my home at a time. 2. I have a fenced in yard that is perfect for sniffing, sunbathing, and gentle play. 3. I work from home which means consistent supervision, flexible schedules, and seamless care throughout the day. Whether your dog is an energetic explorer or a sensitive soul, I offer a peaceful environment, personalized care, and clear communication—so you can travel with confidence knowing your best friend is comfortable and cared for.

Drop-In Visits • Sep 14, 2026

Rebecca was awesome! She was happy to do a meet and greet with my dogs and was super responsive to all my messages. She was extremely patient with my standoffish dog and made sure he got to go outside. She sent lots of photos and detailed notes after each visit. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care and would definitely use her again!

Rebecca is amazing. She took such great care of my dogs while I was away. One of my dogs got sick while I was away and she kept me updated on my dogs, cleaned up after them and offered to get food/meds for my dogs. I really can’t say enough good things about her.

Rebecca gave great updates on Sophie, and really helped out this week when I couldn’t be home! Sophie clearly appreciated her, as do I.

Boarding • Sep 03, 2026

Rebecca took such great care of our girl! We can’t say enough good things about her boarding etiquette and experience. We wanted to do a meet and greet which she graciously accepted and accommodated as well. Our girl was so happy being there with her. It’s hard to find good trustworthy individual for your dog and Rebecca is that person. We can’t wait to have her go back again.

Schedule

I currently work from home, which allows for optimal time to be spent with your dog. I also have a fenced in yard, so if your dog does not like walks or can be reactive on a leash, they are welcome to use the yard to relieve themselves.

Safety, trust & environment

Based off of your pets needs, I do my best to replicate their schedule to allow for a seamless transition from your home to my home. Dog's are allowed on beds and couches. I also have multiple dog beds set up throughout the house for their comfort.

A typical day

I live right by the tow path and the Cynwyd Trail, so if your dog enjoys long walks, I am more than happy to accommodate to their activity level. I also have no problem being a couch potato with your pup if they prefer cuddles on the couch.

I like to know if your pet has any separation anxiety, how well they walk on a leash, and if they ever have incontinence problems.
