Live cello music to soothe your dog
Pet care experience
Loving and Trustworthy Dog-Walker Does your dog need a good squirrel sighting? A tour of the best smells of your neighborhood? An invigorating trot? A live personal classical cello concert to soothe anxiety and reduce canine stress? Or just some belly rubs? Look no further! As a New Yorker who works from home, I love dogs, but am not allowed to have one in my building. I am thrilled to lovingly care for yours. I grew up taking care of our West Highland Terrier, MacTavish, who would continue to respond to my Positive Reinforcement Dog Obedience training long after everyone else in my family gave up. I also worked as a dog walker during high school and after college for dogs ranging from a Mystery Muttigree to a Rhodesian Ridgeback! I love dogs' empathy and sensitivity to humankind, and I am excited to nourish the dogs of New York via Rover! During our walks or visits, I will care for your dog with the same love as if it were my very own. Since I am a cellist, as part of my services, (as long as it is copacetic in your building), I usually play classical cello music live for your dog during housesits or visits, which recent studies have shown is very soothing and reduces anxiety. In my own experience, I've also found this to be true. I also like to sing soothing songs to the dogs I sit for! PS. I work from home as a concert cellist and online math tutor for creative kids. So in particular for dogs I am sitting, your dog will get plenty of attention and love during our visits, because I work from home.

Rebecca gave my little Lucy so much love while I was away for a week. I came back to a very happy puppy. Before I left she made sure to get detailed instructions on Lucy's needs / care and was very communicative before and during my stay, sending numerous updates and pictures. She made sure Lucy got plenty of attention and exercise. It was such a relief to be able gone for so long knowing Lucy was being cared for by someone so kind and loving. Rebecca has an incredibly positive energy and positive spirit that Lucy warmed up instantly to her. I will not hesitate to have Rebecca care for Lucy again!
Rebecca is wonderful! She responded to our inquiry right away and took great care of our 8 week old puppy. He's unable to go for walks outside for a few more weeks due to his vaccination schedule, and Rebecca was very flexible and accommodating by agreeing to keep him company during lunchtime
Rebecca came through for me at the last minute and I'm so glad I found her. I will definitely be using her again. She's good with big and small dogs, and is a lovely and energetic spirit.
Rebecca is awesome with the dogs, and she's now one of my main repeaters. She's got a beautiful and charming spirit and taught me how to calm the dogs when they are barky upon entering the home. Priceless!
