My name is Rebecca and I am working on my PhD in urban sustainability at UMN. I grew up with two lovable and energetic Golden Retrievers (Daisy and Peanut) and am very at ease around dogs. Growing up with dogs in my home makes me sensitive to pups' needs. I love staying active and go for runs daily. I am comfortable walking and running dogs on a leash. In addition to growing up with dogs, I have served as a pet sitter for the last four years (using both Rover and word of mouth recommendations). My life as a graduate student provides me with a fairly flexible schedule. My current living situation does not allow me to have a dog of my own, so I am looking forward to hanging out with the dogs of others! Please note: for pet sitting stays more than 5 miles from my home, an additionally $3/day will be added to cover the additional gas and transit time required.
