Providing a PAW-sitive experience
Pet care experience
I have extensive experience with dogs, cats, small mammals, and barnyard animals for the past 20 years. I took a hiatus from pet sitting as my two dogs and cat grew older and required a quieter environment and more intensive care. Now they have since passed- we shared a great 18 yrs, 14 yrs, and 20 yrs together!- I am looking to welcome paws and purrs back into my daily routine. I have worked with dog, small mammal, and horse rescues in various capacities over the years. Due to my experience in rescue, I am very comfortable with animals that have behavioral issues or medical needs. I can administer oral, liquid, intramuscular, and subcutaneous medications and shots. I also do nail and hoof trimming, along with bathing, eye and ear cleanings, etcetera. Any other questions -- feel free to contact me! I work from home full-time. On the weekends, I have a more open schedule and enjoy going on hiking and other outdoor adventures (provided they're comfortable with the car!). I typically provide updates about once a day, as I personally limit my phone usage and consumption. My primary goal is making sure that your animal is as relaxed and happy as possible! I like sticking to already established routines and schedules to facilitate a familiar, safe, and comforting environment.
Reviews
Rebekka took great care of our dog for 4 days. Sent pictures while we were away, which we loved. Pup came home happy and healthy. Rebekka really knows dogs; their language and needs. We felt really comfortable with her care.
Rebekka was awesome! She took Benny on so many adventures and updated me with photos each day. She was a great communicator and I could tell she enjoyed Benny like he was her own! I can’t wait to book with her soon!!
Our dog Joe loved Rebekka, she sent pictures of him every day and made us feel very well without him. Thanks so much
Rebekka was a wonderful sitter and I highly recommend her! We left our dogs with her for an extended stay and they had a great time. They met her pet Pig and went to a horse barn and had quite the adventure. Rebekka was very warm and friendly in all her communication and sent regular pictures and very entertaining updates. We would love to leave our dogs with her again when we travel next!

Information Rebekka G. would like to know about your pet
I work from home and live in an apartment, so I cannot take overly barky dogs or dogs with separation anxiety or destructive behaviors .
A typical day
I love running, hiking, and swimming with pups at the nearby trails and bodies of water (that are safe to do so!). Being outdoors is important to me; I have taken dogs kayaking in the summer and skijoring in the winter! Other activities include plane rides, adventures at the horse barn, and skydiving excursions!

Availability
I work from home full-time, so I can be flexible and accomodating on drop-off and pick-up times. My weekends are more busy and adventure filled; I take pups hiking or down to the horse barn.
