What I Do

Rambling Rose is a nature-oriented dog care company born out of my passion for animals and a desire to nurture. My philosophy is inspired by the wisdom of nature—patience and adaptability.

While my primary focus is on dog hiking and adventures, my goal is to create positive change in the lives of dogs, and their families, in whatever way I can.

I wouldn’t be where I am without my familiars and my wonderful wife. I am excited to have support (and love) from my little family.

My boys mean the world to me, I’ve really learned the secret of patience by being their mom. While Rambling Rose is focused on dog care, I assure you I am comfortable working with all sorts of pets (and kiddos, too)!

Testimonials

“Becca watched our sensitive, medically challenged older rescue dog for a 5 day trip. Our pup looked very relaxed and happy in the many photo updates. We could actually enjoy this trip knowing her schedule would be followed, she’d receive the affectionate care she was accustomed to, and there was no drama. Our pup’s coat was absolutely glowing after her grooming- she’d never looked prettier. It was the best sitter experience we’ve had.”

“Rebecca is amazing. She watched our squad (2 dogs, kitten, 2 parakeets & fish) while we were gone and she was phenomenal!!! I loved her periodic checkins with photos. Not only that but our house was spotless when we got back home. She is amazing and she will for sure be our new dog sitter in the future!”
