Devoted Dog Enthusiast with a Heart

I'm a passionate dog lover with a deep affection for these loyal and loving companions.

My love for dogs extends beyond my own furry family, as I am dedicated to helping others provide the best care and love for their canine friends. Whether it's offering advice health, or simply sharing my enthusiasm for all things dog-related, I'm committed to making a positive difference in the lives of both dogs and their owners.

Rhia and Rommel went above and beyond my expectations. Ella was unexpectedly prescribed multiple medications right before her stay, and they took care of it all without hesitation. I received detailed daily updates with sweet photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Rhia is incredibly kind, accommodating, punctual, and communicative. Ella can be an anxious pup, but it was clear she felt safe and content in their warm and welcoming home.

House Sitting • Apr 16, 2025

I can’t thank Rhia and her partner enough for the amazing care they gave my dog, Bruno, while I was away on a trip to India. They treated him like their own with so much love, attention, and patience. I received regular updates and photos, which really gave me peace of mind. Bruno was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for when I got back. It’s such a relief knowing I can trust them completely. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet sitters.

I just have to express how deeply Rhia adores her dogs. It's truly heartwarming to witness the incredible bond between them. Rhia's love for her four-legged babies is evident in every little thing she does. From morning walks to late-night cuddles, Rhia's devotion to her dogs is unwavering. Their connection is a beautiful testament to the profound love and joy that pets can bring into our lives. Rhia is an exceptional pet parent, and her dogs are one lucky companion to be showered with so much love and affection.

Rhia has opened her heart and home to five furry companions, and the bond she shares with each of them is nothing short of magical. It's not just about the number of dogs; it's about the quality of care and love she provides. Their tails wag with such joy whenever she walks into the room, and her patience, devotion, and kindness shine through in every interaction.

Schedule

Balancing a demanding engineering profession with my passion for pet care has been a fulfilling part of my life. While my weekdays are typically focused on work commitments, I ensure that I allocate quality time for dogs during the evenings. This includes walks, playtime, and overall attention to their needs. On the weekends, I take advantage of the additional free time to offer comprehensive dog services. I'm available for dog sitting, or any other assistance pet owners may require. This allows me to provide the care and attention that dogs deserve while also pursuing my professional career. I find that my weekends spent with dogs provide a wonderful balance to my life, and it's a commitment I genuinely cherish.

Safety, trust & environment

At my apartment, I've created a comfortable and welcoming environment for pets. I'm fortunate to have a spacious patio with a large kennel and a cozy dog bed pillow, ensuring that the dogs in my care have a safe and comfortable place to rest and enjoy some fresh air. This outdoor space allows them to get exercise and enjoy the outdoors right at home. Additionally, I take full advantage of the nearby dog park, which is conveniently located in close proximity to my apartment. This provides an excellent opportunity for dogs to socialize, run, and play in a secure and controlled environment. I make sure to include regular visits to the dog park in my care routine, as it's a great way for them to expend energy and have a fantastic time. Whether at my home or a client's home, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the dogs I care for. I maintain a clean and safe environment, provide them with the attention and exercise they need, and make use of the wonderful amenities available in the area to ensure they have a fulfilling and enjoyable experience.

A typical day

Here are some fun activities I can do with the dogs that I am taking care of: Go for a Walk: Taking a stroll is a simple yet effective way to bond with your dogs. Explore different routes, and let them sniff around to discover new scents. It's also an excellent form of exercise for both me and the your dog. Play Fetch: Many dogs love playing fetch. I will throw a ball or a frisbee, and watch them retrieve it. This activity is a great way to exercise them and strengthen our bond. Visit a Dog Park: If the dog is well-socialized and friendly with other dogs, a trip to a dog park can be a great way for them to interact with other canines and get some exercise. Teach New Tricks: Dogs enjoy mental stimulation as much as physical exercise. I can teach them new tricks or commands like "sit," "stay," or "roll over." It's a rewarding experience for your dog as well as me when they follow.

Here are some important things I need know and consider in advance: 1. Dog's Health and Medical Needs: I would like make sure to know any medical condition or allergies your dog may have and I want to have a contact information of you dog's veterinarian in case of emergency. 2. Behavior and Training: I would like to understand your dog's behavior and temperament. Is your dog friendly, anxious, aggressive, or shy? Does your dog have training, commands and any behavioral issues they may have? I would like to learn about your dog's routines, including feeding time, exercise and bathroom habits. 3. Diet and Feeding Preferences: I would like to know your dog's food preferences, portion sizes and feeding schedule. Informed me about any dietary restriction or allergies. Any instructions on treat-giving and any specific treats to avoid? 4. Exercise Needs: I would like to know your dog's energy level and exercise requirements. What is your dog's favorite activities, like fetch, running or hiking? 5. Socialization and Interaction: I would like to determine if your dog is social and enjoys the company of other dogs or pets? How does your dog reacts to strangers and new environment?
