Please find my dog care schedule below, if there is something that you would like to change I’m happy to adjust! 6:00: wake up, play/cuddle, get myself ready for the day 6:30: morning walk for 30-45 minutes. If the weather is good we will play fetch/ tug of war outside 7:30: breakfast! Normally pet owners bring their dogs food, but if you like I can also give him/her unsalted rice and chicken with cucumbers and carrots! 8:00-12:00: while I’m in the house I use this time to play, cuddle or let your dog nap (according to his needs). I can usually fit in a mini walk here if needed. This is also the time that I may be in some classes! 12:30: I am always home at this time to take your dog on another short walk, and allow him/her to get some energy out :) 13:00-17:00: while I’m in the house I use this time to play, cuddle or let your dog nap (according to his needs). I can usually fit in a mini walk here if needed. This is also the time that I may be in some classes! I am always home from all my classes by 16:30-17:00 On every day of the week 17:30: this is when I take the longest walk :) we go out for 1 and a half hours to make sure that your dog gets all his energy out and is able to get a good night of sleep. Depending on the dog we do different things, we can run around and play fetch or just walk if you have a low energy dog :) 19:30: I always wait minimum 30-45 mins after a walk before providing food/water in order to avoid stomach bloating. Around this time is when I will give your dog his/her dinner. It is a bit later than usual but I find that it works well with most dogs schedule. 20:00: wind down time, During this time I have my dinner, do my homework and I avoid bringing your dogs energy up so that he/she rest well during the night. 22:00: by this time I’m always in bed, getting ready to sleep. Im usually let dogs on the bed to sleep with me, but I understand the importance of implementing the same rules you have at home. So if you need him/her to be crated, in a different room or on the bed I’m happy to accommodate to anything! I am a student, so I am in classes during the day. I am usually gone between 4-6 hours total during the day but I come home between each class. So I’m never away for more than 2 hours. Let me know if you’d like a copy of my class schedule! I’m happy to send it :

Safety, trust & environment
My apartment is a lovely space and very safe for dogs and cats. I have no pets of my own so while your pet is with me, they will have my fully attention. I always keep animals on a leash outside unless you assure me that they can be left off the leash, and we practice recall in a fenced area (sometimes dogs are very trustworthy with their owners but don’t listen to other people). For the same reason, I also always carry a little bag of treats, incase your dog gets distracted, aggressive or pulls on the leash a lot I can easily catch their attention:) Regarding reactive and anxious dogs: I understand that they have a difficult time in situations like this. If your dog is anxious or reactive, i can discuss techniques and special care skills we can use together in person/over message Regarding senior dogs: I have lots of experience taking care of older dogs, they are my personal favorite :) I understand they have different schedules with different needs and I am more than happy to adjust to these things. I always keep their age and abilities in mind when caring for them. I am qualified to give any medications if needed! Regarding puppies: it can be difficult for dogs under 1 year old to stay with a sitter. Structure and discipline is the most important at this age :) I will make sure that I follow the same walking and eating schedules that you implement at home! I am veryyy patient with puppies, I know they can get very naughty hahaha I am more than confident your pet will be happy and comfortable staying with me, wether he/she is anxious, reactive, a senior dog or a puppy!

Something special to make sure they are happy while they stay with me! I always try to keep your dog by my side at all times! When I’m out in the city or going to a restaurant, I’ll make sure they’re with me! I promise to always prioritize your pup :)

Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Rhea Maria, I am 22 years old and I just moved to Rotterdam! Originally I am half Indian half German, but I have moved countries since I was very young, holland is the 9th country I’ve lived in :) throughout my life I have worked with many animals, they are my passion. including working with a lion orphanage and volunteering at a Turtle sanctuary in Kenya and a tiger rehabilitation center in India! I have also worked as a part time assistant veterinarian at DKC in Dubai, which is where I learned a lot about proper animal care. I have been pet sitting dogs for over 4 years in the USA, it has brought me so much joy. I have had at least 1 dog per week, and every one with a unique personality!! Living alone can sometimes get boring, having someone who is so excited to see you every morning, and motivates you to go to the park everyday really bring another level of happiness to my day. I have experience administering a variety of different medications. While working at the clinic I have taken various first aid courses that qualify me to give CPR to house pets as well as deal with many other medical Emergencies. It means a lot to me when someone trust me to take care of their pet, it’s important to me that you feel comfortable as well, I am happy to do as many meet-n-greets, face time calls, etc. as you need to be comfortable. I promise that I will always do everything I can to keep them safe and happy while they are with me.

Second time that I booked her to dogsit! Once again a very nice experience, getting lots of updates and pictures and videos! 🤗🤗 Can’t wait to book her again next time! My dog loves her 🩷
I highly recommend Rhea! We left our dog, Schroeder, with her during our recent vacation, and she was absolutely incredible. Schroeder has special medical needs and a specific weight management schedule, and she handled everything perfectly. What really set her apart was the constant communication—she sent us frequent photos and videos that showed Schroeder was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. She truly took the time to get to know his funny personality. It’s rare to find someone you trust completely with your fur baby, but Rhea is definitely that person. We will absolutely be booking with her again! Thank you so much Rhea!
Super kind, loving and welcoming. Kept calm and comfortable when a dog they met didn’t immediately love them and handled the situation perfectly so they became friendly. Our dogs returned happy, calm and content 💕
Rhea is the sweetest dog sitter we've ever had. She gives our Herman so much attention and love. We received lots of updates with lovely photos, which was really nice. Herman has definitely a new best friend! Thank you Rhea! :)
