10+ years experience boarding dogs
Pet care experience
I have experience as a manager in a boarding facility where I have cared for up to 150 day care and boarding dogs. I was responsible for monitoring their behavior and health, maintaining a clean and safe environment, and feeding and administering medications. I also have experience volunteering for county shelters where I cleaned and did feedings as well and I volunteer for local rescues attending adoption events where I help in handling adoptable dogs. I have experience caring for old dogs who need extra assistance, fearful dogs who need to feel safe in their space and puppies who need extra supervision and care. I think I have yet to meet a dog I wouldn’t know how to care for.
Reviews
Rebekah was great- fast responses and lots of photos. Thanks again!
Rebekah is a great caregiver for Smokey during our April 2nd to April 11th trip. I felt she was the right person during the meet and greet session. She took Smokey out for fun and met other dogs she knew. It was a great socializing opportunity for Smokey. I will definitely book her again. She knows pets really well and I would say she is an experienced animal behaviorist. Super satisfied!!
Bekah was amazing with my old, anxious girl! My dog is not a fan of us leaving the house but we were able to go away to visit family for a few days without any worries! Absolutely would and will use Bekah’s services again! Highly recommend!
Bekah was a great caregiver and housesitter for our 2 dogs. Definitely recommend Bekah!!

I prefer to use crates, pens and baby gates for sleeping and feeding times to keep everyone's space and boundaries protected. I like to maintain a routine around feeding, enrichment and exercise that keeps animals in my care happy.

Information Rebekah K. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to know a little bit about your dogs personality specifically if they have any separation anxiety or if they're shy around strangers. Also if they are on any medication I'd like to know as much about their health as is relevant to keeping them healthy while they're with me.
A typical day
I have many enrichment tools for all of my dogs and the dogs I watch such as puzzle feeders and different toys etc. I like to take my dogs to open spaces and let them roam on a long line to allow them to build confidence and get some mental stimulation through sniffing. My partner has a soft spot for the anti social dogs that would rather rest on the couch all day and he is happy to spend time with them.

I recently left my job at a boarding facility to pursue my own business. My work allows me to work mostly from home and it is also centered around dogs so my entire routine is based on the dogs in my care. I’m up around 6am every day to feed any dogs in my home whether that’s my own or any boarding or training dogs I have staying with me. Then I organize the dogs I have in my care to spend the morning walking around a park, going for a hike or a similar outdoor activity. If I need to leave home I try to do it between 10am - 12pm while my partner and roommate are working from home and can be available for any dogs that have separation anxiety. Then I make myself available for any afternoon feedings or treats that need to be done and organize more trips outside or inside activities depending on the group of dogs I have. Then I usually do dinner time for the dogs in my care around 5pm with a final potty break around 7/8pm. For puppies I can provide more frequent potty breaks throughout the day and night as well. I usually try to fit the activities I do around the group of dogs I have taking care not to be too active with certain dogs and not too much down time for others. If you have a couch potato kind of dog they’ll be best friends with my partner!!
