Safety, trust & environment

When I receive a request for a in home visit or dog walk, one of my first questions is "How would you like me to use this time with your pets?" I understand that each animal can have very different needs and wants! Do you have an energetic dog that needs a good long walk or time to play outside? Do you have any cats or dogs that need some extra time (and maybe treats!) to warm up to me? I want to give you and your pets the best and most comfortable experience possible. Additionally, I take several pictures during each visit to let you see how they're doing.

Information Rebecca W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs. Do they have any allergies? Are they afraid of anything specific (certain noises, people in hats, other animals, etc.)? Do they try to run out of the door? Are there any specific rules or routines that I should enforce? What are your pets favorite things to do?

A typical day

The typical day/visit will vary depending on your pets' specific needs. I always come in slowly and let your cat/dog just see and smell me until they're comfortable with my presence. Then I give them some pets and treats (with your permission) and begin to check on the basics, food, water, litter boxes, etc. After that, I'll either play with, walk, or simply pet and dote on your pet, depending on what they need!

Experienced and patient pet care

Pet care experience

Your pet's well-being is my top priority. My extensive experience includes working at Wayside Waifs animal shelter when I was 18, followed by another shelter post-college, and then managing a pet store. This hands on background, combined with my experience from fostering over 60 animals, has given me a great understanding of diverse pet personalities and needs. I have a special place in my heart for senior pets and am confident in caring for animals with special needs, including oral medications and providing care for blind dogs. Rest assured, your dogs and cats will be well cared for with me.

Rebecca is so thorough and caring. She helps put my mind at ease when I have to travel away from my kitties.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
