Information Rhea D. would like to know about your pet

Special needs, medicines, and if they get along with other dogs. Do they pull like crazy on a walk or if you’re working with them to have better walk habits.

A typical day

I love playing both inside and out. Inside there’s a great runway for fetch and outside there are large grassy areas, parks and shops. They get all the smells and typically see a lot of other people and dogs along the way. If I run to get a coffee or anything, the dog gets to take a ride.

Would love to be your #DogAunt

Pet care experience

I’m #DogMom all the way. When I lost my dog, Kirby, in November 2022, my heart just couldn’t get another. I sure do miss him, though! So I decided to do Rover and it’s been so great! I get to love and spoil your fur babies while you’re away - which fills that doggy hole in my heart. In the event I have a conflict with a drop off or pickup time, my partner is home so we can accommodate most requests.

Rhea takes the best care of Gus while I am away. She is the best home away from home for my furbaby!

We cannot say enough good things about our Rhea. She takes exceptional care of our dog and always keeps us updated with messages, photos, and details about their activities together, which gives us tremendous peace of mind when we’re away. She went above and beyond to help us during an unexpected travel disruption, and her flexibility and support made a stressful situation much easier to manage. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, treating them with kindness, attention, and affection. The best endorsement we can give is that our dog is always excited to see her. We trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and professional pet sitter.

We had a wonderful experience with Rhea watching Atlas this weekend! She was incredibly communicative, attentive, and caring with Atlas, especially since he wasn’t feeling his best. She kept me updated on everything from his eating and bowel movements to his playfulness and mood, and sent lots of photos throughout the stay. Her home was also very clean and welcoming. We felt very comfortable leaving Atlas in her care and would absolutely recommend her!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
