Pet care experience
I've had pets in the house since I was a child and became involved in their care early on. When I was 11 we began fostering dogs (working with the rescue we had adopted our family dog from,) which gave me the opportunity to interact with and care for many kinds of dogs (and the occasional cat!) We continued to foster (primarily moms with new litters) almost continuously for the next 5 years, and continued to do so more sporadically after that. During this time, I also volunteered with the rescue to work adoption events cleaning pens, soothing animals and interacting with potential owners regarding different animals needs. In the more recent past, I have worked as a dog-walker and sitter on and off for 4+ years. All of these experiences have prepared me to care for and work with dogs in a range of sizes (I love them all!), temperaments (anxious/traumatized, high-energy, barky, etc) and stages of life (newborn through senior.) I've also cared for dogs with special needs (disability, medication, etc) and pregnant/in heat dogs. Thanks to having family with animal care and veterinary experience, I also have a good foundation of knowledge about common illnesses, injuries, environmental hazards, and other dangers pets face. This allows me be very proactive in keeping your pet safe and expedites the process of getting your pet the professional care they need in the unfortunate circumstance that something goes wrong on my watch.

Dio was well taken care of as always, such a pleasure to work with Reb. She’s thoughtful and communicative and every time I return Dio’s almost like “dang it’s you? Bummer!” Lol thanks Reb!
Always a gem!!!
Reb is our favorite! She’s awesome with Dio and a true pro. I always feel my cat and home are taken care of well. Thanks again Reb!!
Thanks, Rebekah for all of you help with Viggo❤️

I am always careful when leaving or entering a pet's home to ensure any escape artists are kept safely inside. During walks, I pay close attention so that your pup stays safe from the hazards of city sidewalks.
Home
Information Rebekah A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any special needs (including allergies/dietary restrictions and administering medication), daily routines and known behavioral struggles (eg dog/cat/other reactivity, walk/leash related behaviors, trash foraging, digging.) This information will help me give your pets the best possible care and cater to their individual needs.
A typical day
I love keeping your dog well-exercised and entertained. Some of my favorite ways to do this are taking them for walks around the neighborhood or on one of the many beautiful dog-friendly trails in the area, running around with their favorite toys and providing reward-based games/puzzles. I also am happy to help reinforce and practice the training methods you use with your pet.

I am currently a part-time student in a completely online course, so I will be home the majority of the time aside from occasional errands. I am happy to communicate with owners about what my schedule looks like more specifically after dates have been requested.
