Pet care experience

LIMA-trained lover of weirdos

If you have a weirdo or two, I want to meet them! After two years of working on the behavior team at Santa Fe Animal Shelter, I've come to love those animals that present the strongest challenges. From the fearful to the reactive, I've learned tricks and practices for bringing scared pups out of their shells with patience, and helping the "crazy" ones practice impulse control using games. My approach comes from the handling philosophy at SFAS: Least Invasive, Minimally Aversive (LIMA) which means a commitment to gentle, force-free interactions.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pets will have their daily activity needs met with one or two walks a day, depending on their needs. I leave my clients' homes as tidy as I walked into them. When you come home from a long family trip, the last thing you want is to clean up after a stranger. I can appreciate the sense of security that cameras provide, as long as they're not hidden in creepy places and I'm aware of where they are and where they're pointing.

Highly recommended Rhiannon! Our dog was in great shape, and the house was left much tidier than we left it. Traveling can be so stressful when leaving behind pets, but Rhiannon eased all that stress.

I love to hear about the paths that brought you and your pets together, and how you've traveled through life as a family ever since. Through these stories, I learn some of what constitutes their joys and fears, and this is what helps me be smarter about what to do to keep them safe, happy, and healthy.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
