will love them like my own ❤️

Pet care experience

My most notable experience comes from working in no-kill shelter. I was hands on with veterinary duties, cleaning, socializing, training and exercising all the animals and the most rewarding: aiding with the adoption process! That said, I have been an animal lover since I came out of the womb. I had small animals growing up, fostered and babysat many animals in college. I have raised two puppies, including my current one year old pup Birdie. I also own the most sweet n chill kitty named Jaq. I am patient, understanding, caring and compassionate. I adore getting to know the unique personalities of our furry friends. I am an avid believer that exercise and play are quintessential to a satisfying (and well behaved...) life of any animal, especially dogs, so rest assured they will have a good time with me!

Rhea was excellent with our dog! She was very sweet to him, kept him safe and healthy with his digestive issues & allergies, and sent frequent updates (along with cute photos! ❤️) on how he was doing. She was very easy to communicate with on our end and was able to accommodate flight issues we had, which was a HUGE help and made everything so much easier. She also went above and beyond to make drop off & pickup as easy as possible for us despite our lack of vehicle, which made our trip a lot less stressful and was greatly appreciated! Our dog has severe health issues (allergies and digestive issues that mean he needs extra monitoring and caution, as he can only eat prescription kibble), and Rhea did a fantastic job taking care of him while we were away. His health issues can make him a struggle at time, but she was more than willing to work with him and take the steps to keep him safe. Definitely recommend Rhea to anyone looking for a great dog sitter! She is clearly passionate about animals and we will happily leave our pup in her care in the future.

Rhea is one of the only people I truly trust to take care of my fur babies. My dog is old and nearly blind and has a lot of anxiety issues, which makes it difficult to find people to watch over him when I travel for work. He also has very strict dietary needs because of a history of illness. Luckily, he absolutely adores Rhea and she takes care of him with the patience and understanding needed to care for more difficult or older animals. She is probably the only person in the world he loves (almost) as much as me :) She also has been taking care of my cat for a long time and gives him all the love he deserves, even when he keeps her up meowing at night. She is communicative, sends pictures, and leaves my babies happy and healthy!

A typical day

It is so important to consider the individual needs of any given animal in regards to exercise, mental stimulation, and activities outside the home. I will likely tailor our day to fit those needs.
