Mama Rhea, Pooch Pal: I speak Pooch
Pet care experience
I'm a retired RN and I love the dogs. They also seem to like me! Bring your pooch over to my dog haven; you will see we are meant to be together, if only on a short term basis. :-) My home is a nice big place with a modest yard for burying a bone or napping in the sun, and no resident pooches. I am mostly home but go out for exercise, meetings or local errands daily, and I volunteer a morning a week. Like you, your sweet pup(s) (up to 20 pounds) deserve a 5-Star vacay. The first step is to click on the Meet & Greet tab so we can arrange time to get together and confirm that your Best Friend and I are a match.

It was such a pleasure meeting and working with Rhea! My little Chihuahua mix can be a grumpy little guy but he loves his stay with her! He even gave her a belly up which is rare! We started with a meet and greet to see if things would work out and she accepted my booking. I actually booked the stay incorrectly on Rover, but she kept him overnight and let me pick him up in the evening as I had originally planned. I just paid her the difference. Rhea is so sweet and kind. She stuck with him and comforted him when I had to leave. He warmed up to her pretty quickly! Thank you, Rhea!!!
We are the kind of people who consider our dog a family member. It was hard for us to even think about leaving our little fur baby with anyone that wasn't a part of our family or a long-time, trusted family friend. Long story short, Rhea took very good care of our little guy. She gave him his food, vitamin, medicine, and dental chew, as instructed, and promptly responded to us whenever we contacted her. And when we told her we were going to get back very late (very early morning), she offered the option of having us come by and pick him up before we headed home, rather than having us come back later in the day. Also, when we arrived to pick him up, she had all his things packed & ready to go. We were anxious about leaving our little guy, but Rhea put our minds at ease. In fact, when we went to drop him off before our trip, our little guy ran to her wagging his tail...a good sign that he was comfortable with her. Also, Rhea had lots of cuddle time with our baby...one of his favorite things to do. Thank you, Rhea?
Rhea is the dog whisperer! Your dog will feel completely loved and at home. Rhea is a great find. You will be so happy you found her. Your dog will too!
I could not have asked for a better dog sitter than Rhea. She put me at ease right away with her calm and caring demeanor. She sent photos every day and was extremely responsive. I got back a very happy & healthy pup. I will definitely re-book with Rhea the next time I go out of town.

Information Rhea Z. would like to know about your pet
I like to meet the pooches before I host them to get a feel for their temperament, and I don't really have a breed preference other than small.
A typical day
I live in a beautiful neighborhood for walking and we are very close to a spacious and friendly dog park.
