Safety, trust & environment

I believe in play and exercise as a way to ease the stress of owners being gone. But of course I listen to my clients and maintain whatever routine they think works for their pet. They know best. With my own dog, we walk twice a day and play occasional games in between (but she is an older chihuahua mix and mostly wants to sit by my side and take naps!). I lost my latest cat last year, but my daughter has a two year old kitty who LOVES to jump, run and play and it's so fun to see what he can get into!

Information Rebecca V. would like to know about your pet

Basic information is, of course, important. Contact info, veterinarian info and emergency contacts, as well as pet habits, likes and dislikes and routines. Whatever information is important to you, your pet and your animal care.

A typical day

There is no typical day when it comes to taking care of other people's pets. I'm happy to step in to whatever YOUR typical day of care looks like.

Years of experience loving animals!

Pet care experience

Over the years, I have owned 11 cats and 4 dogs, not to mention hamsters, guinea pigs and birds. I have always loved animals, and have a gentle approach to care as I think often our pets are scared enough when their owners need to be away. I enjoy trying to ease their fears or stressors, and getting their licks and purrs in return.

Rebecca was wonderful! She truly went above and beyond to make our dog feel comfortable and was a great communicator while we were gone!

This is the second time we’ve used Rebecca and she’s great. Communicative, easy to work with, and loves our dogs.

Rebecca was wonderful! She was communicative and provided pics of the dogs and asked questions as needed. We will absolutely check her availability next time chewy and Iggy need a sitter!
