About My Business

Hi, I’m Becca!

From a very young age, animals have always been an important part of my life. I grew up in Rhinebeck near a farm with cows and goats. I would take Cupcake, my best friend, a Golden Retriever, for walks on the trails near my house and sometimes just lay down with her while I told her all my problems. She was a great listener!

My education is in psychology, liberal arts and legal studies. After some time away and trying different careers, from office jobs to waitressing, I moved back to Rhinebeck and decided to devote myself full-time to my passion of being with animals. I have three cats of my own who I treat like they are my children, sometimes better than I treat myself!

My philosophy is that animals are family. They are our best friends!

Finding someone to care for your pet is a big decision. There are concerns of the safety of your pet as well as your house and property. Owners also worry about trusting someone to care for their pet and treat them with kindness and love and patience!

If you decide to meet me and/or hire me, I promise your furry family will be safe and will enjoy my company and vice versa! I know i will treat them like my own!

Every job is different so please contact me further to get my rates. Rates are based on location and job specifications including but not limited to age of pet, medications required, and training. I am not a trainer although I am well on my way to become certified through Animal Behavior College.

I am also a full believer in DO NO HARM TRAINING and FEAR FREE based pet care and training so I will not use any aversive methods when dog walking/care such as prong collars and e collars.

What my clients say:

"Your search for a pet sitter should end with Becca! My partner and I hired her to take care of our dogs during our wedding/honeymoon and could not be happier with the care she provided.

When we first met Becca, we only had one dog, but by the time our wedding came around we had rescued another. Both of them took some time to get to know Becca/be comfortable with her, but she came by weekly up until our wedding to walk them, get to know them and bond with them. Soon enough they both absolutely loved her and we are so thankful for her commitment to animals and her job which made that possible.

Becca truly understands animals and cares for others pets as if they are her own. Her care is patient, intuitive, loving, gentle, and knowledgable. She even taught our dogs a few things! If you are someone who wants updates on your pets while Becca cares for them (she respectfully asks if you do or do not want updates), then you'll be thrilled with her ability to send frequent text, video, and photo updates while she is with your animals. We never had to worry or wonder how our dogs were doing and what they were up to because Becca updated us regularly during her entire almost 2 week stay at our place. We could tell from these updates that our two dogs were so happy and calm with Becca.

One of our dogs was having some separation anxiety/stomach problems, and was pooping inside/stress chewing walls. Becca was nothing but compassionate about this and happy to do her best to not only comfort our dog, but to take care of cleaning up as well.

Whether you are looking for someone to care for your pets daily, during a trip, or just here and there - book Becca! You will not be disappointed, and more importantly, neither will your pets.

Lastly, her pricing is fair. However, finding someone who we trust completely with our dogs, who are our children, is priceless.

Thank you Becca!!!! <3 "

"Becca is unfailingly cheerful, friendly, and sensitive to the needs of cats, dogs and their owners. Not only does she make visits promptly and s pend plenty of time playing with our cats after feedings, she sends us adorable videos-- which convince us she's taking better care of them than we are! Reasonable rates, too.

"There is only one way to explain Becca’s Happy Paws - excellent!!! She’s the most responsible, sensible, efficient, and compassionate pet sitter I’ve ever worked with! Becca truly loves animals and they love her! While she was caring for my cat she sent me daily text reports and photos too. My 16 year old cat did very well under he care and I will continue to use her services!!!"
