About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m active, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m a college athlete, so I’m used to sticking to a schedule, staying disciplined, and having lots of energy—traits that translate really well to pet care. I have experience caring for my family’s dog, so I understand the importance of routines, patience, and giving pets the attention they need. Since I’m home for the summer and only have morning soccer training, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m also dependable and detail-oriented—I always follow instructions carefully to make sure each pet gets the specific care they’re used to. Pet care fits really well into my daily routine, especially this summer. I’m home for the season and only have soccer training in the mornings on weekdays, so my afternoons are free. That gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets, go on walks, and give them the attention they need. I enjoy being active, so adding dog walking to my day is something I’d genuinely look forward to. At home, I help take care of my family’s dog, so I’m familiar with the basics of pet care like feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they have fresh water and feel comfortable. I’m used to keeping a routine and paying attention to the dog’s needs throughout the day. If I’m in a client’s home, I’d treat their pet with the same level of care and respect—making sure to follow any specific instructions they leave, keeping the environment clean, and making sure their pet feels safe and cared for while they're away.

“Great, my puppy really enjoy his walks with Rebecca, she is professional and keeps the communication with me , she is helpful and willing to meet my expectations”
