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.

Thank you Rebecca. You did a really nice walk. So appreciate it. Thanks for the heads up on the throw up. I had heard that Groban had an upset stomach from my daughter. Thanks again!

Rebecca's the best and takes the best care of my boy. He is also in recovery from a surgery so he needed extra special care, which Rebecca was more than happy to give and she took wonderful care of him.

Rebecca did a wonderful job with helping my two dogs get the exercise these need. She was super attentive to the needs of my dogs and she was timely and professional.

Rebecca is awesome! She took care of our elderly dog like it was her own. We really appreciated it. She followed all our instructions and gave us updates and cute pics everyday. It really put our minds at ease. This is a sitter that you can tell, she cares. She was also very flexible and accomodating with our pick up and drop off. Thank you so much for taking care of our Lilly. Our dog was so calm and relaxed when we picked her up. We'll definitely book with Rebecca again in the future.

We needed a last minute sitter and Rebecca came to our rescue! Our very shy puppy was extremely comfortable in her care and made herself at home. We definitely cannot recommend Rebecca more, she will be the first person we call from now on!

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.
