Animal Care Professional

Pet care experience

I’ve been an animal caretaker and animal sitter from a young age, building on 15 years of sitting experience. I’d be overjoyed to take care of your fur child! Whether you have a majestic beast or a forever pup, I‘ll provide them with the highest standard of care. I have a master’s degree from Tufts School of Vet Med and have worked as a veterinary assistant. I have been trained in animal emergency techniques, medicine administration, and positive reinforcement behavioral training, so you can always have peace of mind when you leave your animal with me. I have years of experience working with dogs, cats, exotics, farm animals, and wildlife. I have a Nissan Rogue equipped for transporting if necessary, the perfect set up for any size pet. I’d even be willing to take them to the dog park or go hiking if that’s something you’d be interested in! We’ll have a blast! Some animals I've had extensive experience with are dogs/puppies, cats/kittens, chinchillas, hamsters, guinea pigs, mice, rats, tarantulas, parakeets, cockatiels, parrots, finches, snakes, bearded dragons, freshwater fish, raptors and more. Can’t wait to hear from you!

This was our first time using Rover; we met Rebekah for two quick visits so she could meet our 2 frenchies in advance of an overnight. Rebekah did great with our dogs, including one which is a little higher maintenance. ? We look forward to having her back to watch over our fur babies.

Rebekah is great with Cooper. She has taken care of him on many occasions and we are at peace when we are away knowing he is in good hands. She has excellent communication and comes highly recommended.

Rebekah was awesome staying for the weekend to care for our 2 standard poodles! She was very confident and our dogs just loved her-especially our more shy female! I will hope to be able to utilize her skills again soon!

Safety, trust & environment

If I’ll be sitting in your home I’m very flexible and detail oriented. I’m ready to listen to yours and your animal’s needs to make this the best experience possible for you both. I frequently house sit for my clients and have always gotten positive feedback. I give frequent updates, stay in constant contact with you about how the stay is going, and take tons of photos! If your animal visits my place, my energetic husky/elkhound mix, Aspen, loves to make new friends! I live with my fiancé and his brother so your furry family member will receive plenty of attention and love. While I do not have a fenced in yard I can provide walks and even hikes to meet your dog’s needs. I do have cats who are acclimated to dogs but I ask that your know your dog is pet friendly (or a puppy) before inquiring! I have experience with crate training as well.

Information Rebekah S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know a few things before sitting your dog, especially if using doggie day care or boarding services: Is your dog/cat good with children? Is your dog/cat vaccinated? Is your dog crate trained? Is your dog/cat on any flea/tick medication? Is your dog/cat micro-chipped? Does your dog/cat have any health issues I should know about? (i.e. worms, arthritis, depression etc.) Does your dog/cat get along with cats/dogs? Has your dog/cat ever bitten anyone? Does your dog/cat have separation anxiety? Does your dog bark excessively? It is important that I know the answers to these questions before you leave so I can prepare properly for your animal.

A typical day

I'd love to go hiking with your dog. I’d be willing to take your dog to the dog park if you’re interested. I can offer grooming for long haired dogs and cats as well as nail trims for both at an additional cost. I’ll take any special requests for playtime or activities! I am experienced with elderly animals and medication regiments.

I’m off work Sundays and Mondays. I work from home Wednesdays and Thursdays near Lebanon. Tues, Fri, & Sat I work in Hanover. I can bring my laptop to your place and stay the day with your animals on my work from home days! On the 3 week days that I report to my job, I do work a full 8-10 hour work day, but we can discuss further how we can work around that to fit your needs if you’re interested in a week day stay.
