As a full-time graduate student with a part-time job, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate consistent, focused time to pets. Caring for animals fits naturally into my week because I prioritize it like any important commitment. I enjoy walks, playtime, and quiet companionship, ensuring pets feel loved, safe, and comfortable while their humans are away

Safety, trust & environment

I provide care primarily in the client’s home so pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions closely, maintain routines, and provide plenty of attention. I also take dogs on walks around the neighborhood when appropriate. While I haven’t yet handled pets who require complex or frequent medical care, I’m experienced with giving routine medication, and I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on providing excellent care for everyday needs.

Grad Student: Safe, Loving Pet Care

Pet care experience

I have hands-on experience with pets of all energy levels and personalities—from my family’s energetic chihuahua mix to two relaxed cats. As a graduate student in the city, I’m patient, attentive, and committed to giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I adapt my care to each pet’s personality, whether playful, independent, or calm, and I follow instructions closely to ensure their routines are maintained.

Rebecca is dedicated and thorough, making a point to meet our dog ahead of time! She provided daily updates as well.

Rebecca was great with our dog Nala! She watched her for a week while we were out of town. Rebecca was communicative and up front about her schedule so we could make sure it aligned with our needs. She sent picture updates and our dog seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. We will reach out to Rebecca again the next time we need a sitter.

Rebecca has provided years of loving care for our high-energy Chihuahua mix. She provides regular feeding and walks and follows the old dog's cues to snuggle or play. She trained him to be comfortable with a portable travel carrier. Highly recommend.
