About Phia R.

Communication

100% response rate
Usually responds in under an hour

Skills

15 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

The activities I do depend on each pet, the weather, and the space available. If there’s a fenced yard and the dog is healthy, we might play fetch or run around outside. On hot or cold days, we’ll enjoy indoor play with toys, practising training commands, or simply relaxing with lots of cuddles if that’s what they prefer. Our goal is always to provide a mix of physical activity and mental stimulation, tailored to each pet’s personality and needs.

Information Phia R. would like to know about your pet

Any behavioural issues - ie guarding food, toys, Any sensitivities to touch - ie ears, toes, tail ect. Eating, playing and/or exercise schedule if any.

A typical day

This is is dependant on the pet and their energy level, if they are a cuddler then setting up with a cozy blanket and some cuddles is what we will do. If the are higher energy then definitely some indoor and/or outdoor playtime with balls and toys.

Because Every Pet Deserves Cuddles

Pet care experience

Phia is a trustworthy, attentive team, ensuring your pets receive consistent care, love, and supervision while you’re away. If Phia's calender is busy please check Jody's profile https://www.rover.com/members/jody-r-because-every-pet-deserves-cuddles/ Phia - I am a 20 year old, responsible animal lover. I was raised around animals and has spent many years assisting with pet care, fostering, and daily training routines. I spent many years working on a local hobby farm, working with dogs, cats, goats, horses and chickens. Through my work on the farm, with the CatNap Society and our own household pets, I have developed a calm, compassionate approach—especially with dogs, cats, horses, shy animals, and senior pets who benefit from gentle handling and quiet companionship. What sets me apart is hands-on training experience, a deep respect for animals, and a calm, confident presence that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for in their own home. Our 24-hour house sitting rate includes potty breaks and playtime. Walks are available at an additional charge per 30 minutes.

Phia was really terrific! She kept us updated with pictures of Hank having fun. We felt very comfortable with how mature she was and would look forward to using her again. 🐾

We are beyond grateful for the amazing care Phia provided our little girl Angel!! From our first contact with Phia on Rover to our two meet and greets. Phia was very professional and supportive. As this was our first time using Rover, Phia explained the process. During our first meet and greet she was already a friend to our dog. During our second meeting, we went over our home and all our dog instructions. As our Angel is very picky and had extra care needs during the feeding time. She assured our time away would be harder on us as she would provide extra love and playtime with Angel. While away we received several daily reports and daily photos. The transition from us leaving went extremely good and our dog adjusted well with Phia’s love. Upon our return our home was well taken care of and cleaned, including the towels and bedding. Knowing we were coming home at 3 am from a long flight, Phia had our beds ready to climb into and sleep. We cannot say enough good things about Phia. We will use her again and highly recommend her to anyone!! Thank you Phia!!! ♥️
