Pet care experience
Cat Whisperer😻 & Dog Lover 🐕
Please read! Being a long-time pet-lover and owned by 6 cats 😺(Sam, Sappho, KittyKittyMax, Frida, Bagheera and Mowgli) and 6 dogs 🐶(Lorna Doone, Annie, Tucker, Memphis Red, Ellie May, and Scout) so far in my life (39 of my 59 years), I have a strong affinity for the energy and unconditional love 💞of our feline and canine friends. I have been a sitter on Rover for years, a volunteer and dog walker at Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter, Alameda Animal Shelter and Guide Dogs for the Blind and also a pro dog walker for JetDogLove in the Bay area. I also trained one of my rescues in a 6 month canine training program as well as handling him as a competitive Dock Dog! As I am a retired RN now, I am back on Rover! (***Please note some limits of my offerings in the About Rhiana section***) I serve Longmont, Hygiene, Niwot, and North Boulder 🚙🐶💞😺

Safety, trust & environment
I will care for them as instructed. Whatever routines they are used to, I will follow - I believe in the importance of consistency, as well as positive reinforcement: praise, pats, and treats (if permitted).
Ratings and reviews
Rhiana is incredible! She really cares and is great at communicating. Very thoughtful. Never had a better pet sitter in my life. If you're on the fence about booking her or someone else, pick her, stop looking
I feel so lucky to have found Rhiana! She took phenomenal care of my cat Sofi over the thanksgiving holiday. After our meet and greet, I had no worries at all that Sofi would be in great hands. Rhiana gave me lots of updates and even offered to do extra little things around my apartment. I can not recommend her enough!
1000 stars! Rhiana is the best sitter I've ever worked with. She is super attentive, caring, and very reliable. She is well versed in animal care and training, which is a major plus! She goes above and beyond to give your companion lots of exercise and love, and she follows all owner instructions to a T. Highly recommend!
Rhiana took excellent care of my two 11 year old kitties! She is very conscientious, attentive and communicates extremely well. I loved getting pictures from every visit! I will definitely ask her to look after my kitties again!
Rhiana is really kind and brought a calming presence to our anxious and rambunctious puppy. We’d happily invite her to our home anytime.
This is week 7 with Rhiana... and she is simply awesome: smart, experienced, professional, reliable, nice, easy-going, and wonderful with my animals!

Schedule
I have retired after my career as a nurse, so now have a lot of free time to care for your fur baby. Please read fully: If you are a cat-loving household 😻 and cannot bear for them to be alone, I will be happy to connect with them in your absence. Even some of the most timid cats seem to be affectionate with me given a chance to meet ahead of time. I am your feline-loving expert and available 7 days a week! For the pups out there, I am happy to walk your dogs 🤸🏼♀️when your regular walker goes on vacation or has an emergency cancellation. I am not available for routine dog-waking right now. I do LIMITED house sitting because I have my own Doodle and Tabby cat. I can do a ONE or TWO night housesit if my mini Goldendoodle can join us? Meet and Greet will tell us if it's a good fit. I have had great success with the right match 🐕🩷🐕 I would be happy to get to know your beloved pets, and offer them a caring companion in your absence. 👀Lots of rubs, scritches, pats, treats (as allowed), brushing and snuggles. I can sometimes do toenails (if they are willing). I serve Longmont, Hygiene, Niwot, and North Boulder 🚙🐶💞😺
