Pet care experience

Who let the dogs out? Me!

I have been petsitting since I was a teenager and it is something I look forward to doing each time. I am a huge animal person and have been since I was a little kid. Over the years, my mother worked at a wildlife rehabilitation center and was also the director of a cat shelter, which allowed me hands-on interaction that deepened my understanding of the behavior and body language of a wide array of species. I have experience administering oral medication. I have not yet needed to provide meds via injection but I have seen it done many times and would absolutely be capable once given a demonstration. Alongside cats and dogs, I am also experienced in watching reptiles, rodents, arachnids, and fish. Though I have not personally house sat for birds, I have been around them since I was young and am very familiar with their behavior and general needs. I would be delighted to meet and care for your pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I am unable to offer boarding in my home. I will happily travel to you and will offer overnight, drop-in visits, or walks as needed. Updates and pictures will be provided daily so that you always stay in the loop. I am familiar with the 24 hour vets in the area in case of emergencies or I can happily use a preferred location.

Rhea was amazing!! She’s communicative and smart. She house sat for me for a week and did a fantastic job. I wholeheartedly believe she would be good in anything she tries we are just lucky she loves animals and has chosen to work with them so that all of us here in Tucson and on rover get the benefit and joy of knowing her and receiving her expertise. Thank you Rhea!!

Rhea is a very wonderful, loving, flexible, reliable responsible pet sitter. She watched my two cats while on vacation and kept them in loving company.

Rhea has been watching my animals for a few years. I have cats, a dog, reptiles and tarantulas. Her experience with animals has made her comfortable working with diverse species. My animals are always happy and well-cared-for when I return.

Let me know what makes your pets different! Any behavior or temperament mentioned will help me take care of them more efficiently. If there is any aggression or apprehension around new people, I would love to meet them with you around to ensure that they will be comfortable with me. The more I know, the better I can do to care for your babies!
