About: I grew up taking care of various animals including miniature donkeys, cats, dogs and chickens. With growing up with various pets I understand how imperative it is to have the proper care for every pet’s needs. I enjoy ensuring that all pets needs are met so they can be happy and healthy. I am attending North Central Technical college for an associates degree in human services. Additionally, I work part time (10-15 hrs) at Strive Behavioral Solutions with kids on the autism spectrum. My days are typically split up between a portion of school and work (depending on the day). I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule as needed to care for your pet. I will not be able to care for animals in my home. I take my job caring for your animals very seriously and will be responsible and thorough.

Becky is the absolute best. She took care of my dog 100% and was very helpful and understanding. She was very responsive after the walks and how Buster did on the walks. I will use her again.
