Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Rebekah and I have been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with labs, then went through a small hiatus when I went to college. Since then, I have a beagle/lab mix. She gets along great with other dogs. We've also fostered an abused and neglected cat who eventually joined our little crew. I am a very caring and energetic person, often going the extra mile to make sure any pet I watch is fed, exercised, and content. I also have experience with cats and other pets, so do let me know of any special requests or instructions. I want to make sure you know your pet is in good hands! Also, if you have a fenced yard and would like me to bring my dog with me to a sitting or play session, just let me know. She is very social and friendly, and would have a blast playing with your pet :)
Reviews
Rebekah and her partner Ahmed did a GREAT job with our tentative pup Chico, walking him over Memorial Day Weekend while we were out of town. We will definitely be contacting them for more walks in the future!
Rebekah agreed to do an 10 day pet sit for my elderly Labrador the night before I needed care. Things happened at the last minute, but I really wanted someone who could care for my boy in a home environment. She had to take a lot of new information and make some adjustments to stay with my boy overnights and she was amazing! I am a bit of a worrier when it comes to my older guy and I tended to check in and text things I had forgotten in the first coupe days. But Rebekah didn't mind at all and was very receptive to doing the things an older dog needs: one with some joint issues, special diet AND taking chemo pills daily. She even included some of his exercises and daily icing, along with special food and precautions around the medications. After a few texts at the beginning I was so impressed. She was ok with providing all the extra attention and care, and she gave me good feedback about how it was going and asked great questions. I actually stopped worrying and just knew my boy was getting excellent care and would be just fine for the rest of my time away - which I really needed. But she was always available to check in and let me know how things were going including photos. When I returned my guy was doing great. He was happy, healthy, and walking as well as he can on his good days. I was just really grateful. It was amazing to find just the right person at the very last minute. I had to add an extra day on at the end and Rebekah was able to do that as well. I usually try to plan much better, but I know in this case I was very lucky since I really needed someone I could count on. Highly recommend Rebekah.

Energy levels, favorite games, and any training you do that you want enforced. I dont have breed preferences, but I would not be very comfortable leaving a dog outside overnight or in a situation that is stressful for him/her.

The area here is full of paths and walkways. We often take our dog on long walks, taking a different direction often to expose her to new smells and sounds.

Availability
I am a SAHM, so I have complete flexibility when it comes to helping out with your furry ones. I also have a partner who has gone through the background checks and requirements for Rover, so if, for any reason, I am unable to care for your pet, he would be able to step in with your permission.
