Pet care experience
Coming from a large Italian family we have had our share of pets! Growing up we had a lab mix, border collie mix, dachshund mix, chihuahua mix, bichi frise, calico, tortie, red earwd wlider, parakeet, 10 lil hamsters, and a bunny. Every one of them was a different character, and cemented my love for animals of all shapes and sizes. Nowadays, I happily volunteer to help my friends in the DMV area with their pets; whether they are on vacation, traveling for work, or just stuck at the office much later than anticipated. When I first moved to DC, I lived building with a no dog policy which laid the foundation of now owning three lovely kitties. In my free time I love to help out with a different local rescues, and have a constant rotation of fosters hanging out in my home. I have a robust 5-star 100+ walks profile with Wag!, and I’m extremely familiar with giving medication or abiding by strict rules for different animals need I am gainfully employed at one of the local government agencies and therefore don’t rely on this as my sole source of income, but as a user of Rover I understand the importance of having trustworthy and reliable individuals providing services. I really enjoy providing peace of mind to my neighbors about their for a family members and try to do all I can to make these experiences the absolute best they can be!
Reviews
Rebekah was outstanding and took great care of my dog. She sent lots of pictures and communicated constantly with me with gave me peace of mind while I was traveling. I highly recommend her!
Rebekah is an absolute rock star! I cannot express how pleased and happy we were with her service. Leaving our pets for a few days is always stressful, you want to know they're well cared for just as you would and Rebekah did not disappoint. Her communication was fabulous, the pictures she sent throughout the day were magnificent and we were able to enjoy a few days away without a single worry. Rebekah is the best sitter we've ever had and look forward to using her services again and again. Thank you so very much!!
Rebekah did a great job caring for our three puppers at the last minute when our care plans fell through. She sent good updates and photos and everyone was in great shape when we returned!
Rebekah cares for my many pets as though they were her own. She shows excellent judgement in making care determinations in response to pet needs. They love when she’s here!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In any clients home I am sure to fall every single instruction outlined by the owner and ask as many questions as possible to ensure that I follow whatever the normal routine is. In my own home, I have a dedicated room for my fosters or any pets that stay with me. This guestroom is completely outfitted with everything a kitty could possibly want, and I have a pretty solid routine of making sure to interact with them throughout the day. For potentially a long-term boarders, I am happy to attempt to integrate a visitor with my resident cats. All three of my cats are extremely laid-back and friendly, and welcome all of the new cats that come through my household.
Information Rebekah N. would like to know about your pet
I do like to know if a dog enjoys socializing, or is more of an independent individual. Regardless, I normally avoid dog interactions (as you never know the personality of the other dog).
A typical day
I'm a huge fan of finding more outdoors areas for dogs. Depending on energy level I'm open to running, playing fetch, as well as letting the dog lead where he/she wants to sniff. When it comes to kittys, I take the time to understand what their favorite toys are, and what their personal legs are. Even between my three cats, each of them have distinct personalities and distinct likes, and dislikes.

Availability
I have an extremely flexible, work schedule, and mostly work from home. Intermittently, I do go into the office but can easily work that around any formalized appointments.
