Pet care experience

I have always loved animals but was unable to start owning my own dogs until about 11 years ago. I've had two different pit bulls but have been the proud owner of my Puggle, Mama, for the longest time out of the three. Her owner was about to surrender her to the pound so I jumped in and re-homed her. Over the years, I learned a lot about puppies, walking, training, feeding, dog behavior and veterinary care. My dogs have ranged in age from under one to over 13 so I have experience with dogs of all ages. I am accustomed to walking dogs in all kinds of weather also! I don't have a yard but there is a park very close to my house where I can walk your dog(s). Your pooch will have no shortage of love, companionship and playtime! I also can administer medication if needed.

Rebecca took excellent care of our puppy while we were out of state for the holidays. She agreed to the booking at the last minute and very quickly got up to speed on Moe and his quirks. She sent regular updates and asked questions whenever she wanted additional info about Moe's routines and preferences. She was a wonderful dog sitter for our puppy!

She does it again ladies and gentlemen ! If you haven’t already, read my previous review! It felt amazing to leave the country and not have to worry if about both fur babies! Benji and Cash love her and it’s evident that they trust her. Rebecca is communicative, knowledgeable, and CLEAN!!!! Can’t ask for a better sitter! Book her if you are looking.

Rebecca cared for our 2 mini goldendoodles and we couldn’t ask for a better service. She was communicative, knowledgeable about dogs, gentle, and patient. It is evident that her care for animals is real. Our dogs were very comfortable with her. She sent pictures and updates without having to ask which is a plus. Her home is very tidy and clean and she will stick to your dogs schedule and cater to their needs. She treats your dogs as if they were her own. Being a family who haven’t had the best experiences with rover we believe we have found our official go to and that is Rebecca. So if you are worried about leaving your fur baby/ies, please do not fret! Rebecca is the one. You won’t regret! Thank you so much Rebecca. Benji and Cash says hello!

Rebecca is one of the most responsible pet owners I know. She cares for her older Puggle with the care and attention you'd give to your own aging family member. She knows a lot about animals and dog care and discipline specifically and stays on top of her own dog's medical needs, medications and the dog never goes without a healthy meal and companionship.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not have a yard but I live less than a block away from a park that is pet friendly. I am accustomed to walking a dog daily and anticipating his or her needs because I have owned a dog for years. However, my dog Mama, is a semi-permanent resident at my parents' house in Delaware so I am able to provide undivided attention to your pet(s). I don't have children or any other pets in the house. I typically do not allow pets on the couch or in my bed but I can put a cover on the couch if need be and pets can sleep on a dog bed in my room at night.

Information Rebecca W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what your pet's routine is, e.g., meal/treat times, walk routine and grooming etc. Does your pet have any allergies or ailments? If medication needs to be administered please provide clear instructions. What is your pet's temperament? Does he/she have any separation anxiety, history of aggression or fear of loud noises? What kind of training techniques have been utilized and commands that your pet understands? What sign(s) does your pet give to show they need to go outside?

A typical day

I will be able to walk your pet multiple times a day per his or her current routine. I also do not live far from a few dog parks that I could take your pet to. There will be no shortage of cuddles and play time either.
