Cuddles, dog park, and kisses

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a huge animal lover, ever since I was a kid. Currently I volunteer at the Humane Society of Fairfax county at the dog shelter. I have worked at a facility that does therapeutic dog swimming, doggie daycare, and boarding. That includes both dogs and cats. I have also worked with therapy horses. I grew up with a German Shepherd and Golden Retriever in my household. I currently own a very smart, well trained, and friendly Jack Russell Terrier who loves everyone and everything. So, I would like to think I am more than qualified and comfortable to watch and care for anyone's puppy dog or cat! Besides that I am very loving, patient, and dependable. I adore animals of all kinds and love spending time with them. I like to take my dog to the dog park for at least 30 minutes a day, with two long walks. I also have a backyard with a fence, so he has the luxury of hanging out outside without a leash (he loves sunbathing). I think exercise is very important for a dogs health and behavior. When we are not exercising, we are playing with all his toys and cuddling on the couch. Please contact me if you're interested! Rebecca

Rikki took care of my Jack Russell/Poodle puppy, Maggie, as well as my two cats while I was out of town for a week. In addition to feeding them and taking Maggie on walks, she spent a lot of time playing with them so they wouldn't be alone for so long. When I told her that I was worried about leaving Maggie because she is so social, Rikki even took her to her own home to play with her dog. When I got home, I could tell that my animals had been very well cared for. She has a great rapport with animals and I would heartily recommend her.
