Experienced Dog Mom of 20 years
Pet care experience
**The following breeds are no longer accepted: Doodles (any variation), Labs, Pit Bull mixes, Schnauzers** Dogs are EVERYTHING. It all started when I raised my pack of huskies in Massachusetts, we frequented many hiking adventures. I was obsessed from there on out. Every day we walked, every weekend we hiked for hours. My entire family is dog obsessed, its our nature. My sister manages a pet sitting/walking/boarding company in Massachusetts. We have always had a very special bond, connection and appreciation for dogs, along with individual reputations for providing the utmost care for them. I am an approved dog foster for (2) dogs rescues (GA, FL) and an approved temporary foster for hurricane/natural disaster support for both The Humane Society of Pasco and Pinellas. I am a huge animal advocate and believe wholeheartedly that dogs should have the same rights as humans. They are essentially all permanent 8 year old children, innocents. I am very passionate about treating them with the same level of care you would any child and am well educated on behaviors, patterns and animal PTSD and anxiety issues. They will never be background noise or treated as accessories in my home. They are family. They receive the very first greeting at the door and acknowledgment even while folding laundry. Dogs deserve constant communication and appreciation. They will be showered with constant affection and attention. As passionate as I am, this means I am even more passionate about learning their personalities, their interactions in a group setting and limitations or struggles. They will be protected from conflict and feel safe, protected and know that this is the fun house! My house is geared towards dogs first and foremost, as my dog is my child. You will find toys in every room and only the best toys treats and food the dog industry has to offer! I am a permanent remote worker so that means I am home all day, 830-530 at minimum and earlier/later. I am available for potty breaks at any time. I typically do breaks from 6 to 830am, 1030 to 1045, 12 to 1, 3 to 315. My office is visible to all areas of the house and located in the room with my back slider so I usually do breaks when your dog requests it as well. I am your temporary foster parent. My border collie and I will do more than keep your pet company! Samantha is lovable, playful, and high energy. She has a special adoration for small dogs and takes care of them like her own! I treat your fur baby as if they were my own, lots of love and constant attention. The purpose of my services is not for income but for enjoyment and enriching the life of my dog by opening her social circle. I do this for pure pleasure. Sounds good dogs playing and running room to room make my heart full and my home and dog, extremely happy.
Reviews
My babies love going to see Rhiannon and Samantha!
I took my pup for a greet and meet and Rhiannon was very professional and made him meet the dogs in a very calm environment which made my pup don’t want to leave the house 😂. He went for the daycare and came back super happy and Rihannon shared so many pics during the stay and kept me updated about how he did . This was super helpful. I have booked again with Rhiannon for the Christmas break.
Great sitter!
She did a fantastic job! Would recommend and use again.

Home
Information Rhiannon M. would like to know about your pet
Feel free to let me know temperament, food aggressions, people or toy possessiveness, any medications needing to be administered or special tricks. Crates are optional if you baby prefers it only, otherwise I allow free roaming as long as everyone is happy and most certainly on all beds and furniture. Potty trained is REQUIRED. Special attention is always provided to each dog but any dogs with severe separation anxiety or minimal social experience would be helpful to know as well. I am very sensitive to each dogs special needs as they are our children!
A typical day
Physical and mental exercise. There are endless things to do in my yard. We have a ball launcher, frisbee, pull toys, tether ball, a horse ball, a basket full of various other toys, freeze dried treats for tricks and training, 2 sprinklers, a doggie pool and there is a lot of wildlife around for interest! My neighborhood is extremely safe and we love going for nightly walks once it cools down and there are minimal distractions. The yard is big enough that walks aren’t entirely necessary, we don’t go on walks until cooler out anyways. I often leave my sliders open and monitor the dogs going in and out especially while with the zoomies! I love for them to feel free but safe simultaneously.
