Safety, trust & environment

Your home is your pet’s sanctuary, and I treat it with total respect! 🏠 When I’m on a mission for Pawsitively Happy Paws, your peace of mind is my #1 priority. I don’t just watch the door; I manage the environment to keep things calm, secure, and—most importantly—fun! I’m fully insured and bonded because I believe professional care should be bulletproof, but I lead with my heart. Whether we’re working through a 'scary' thunderstorm with my Fear-Free techniques or just ensuring the water bowl is chilled to perfection, your pet is in expert hands. I’ve spent my life bonding with everything from giant Rottweilers to shy senior cats, so I know how to read the room. You can go about your day knowing I’m treats-ready, safety-certified, and treating your home like the palace it is. It’s not just a visit; it’s the PHP Guarantee!

House Sitting • Feb 11, 2026

Rhokia was a wonderful dog sitter who took amazing care of my very attached Cavalier, Jax, while I was away on a work trip. Each day, she sent detailed updates about their walks and excursions, along with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even brought him toys! She made sure he was well-fed, gave him treats and plenty of affection, and most importantly, truly cared for and loved him while I was away. She was also a respectful guest in my home and left everything just as she found it—clean and organized. I can’t say enough great things about Rhokia and the exceptional care she provides. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.

Rho has been amazing! Our German shepherd, Lambo, needs some TLC and patience as he can be very sensitive. Rho has exceptional animal intuition and a kind energy that Lambo took to very well. Sometimes he doesn’t like when new people go to touch his head and clip his leash but she had it clipped in minutes. Very relieved after moving to a new area to find a trustworthy, reliable, communicative, and true animal lover to watch our GSD and two cats.

Rhokia is so wonderful with our 2 cats. They are very shy and typically hide when anyone comes into the house. But they both feel completely comfortable with Rhokia, which is amazing.

Schedule

Think of me as your pet’s favorite local VIP—I’m just a quick eBike sprint away! 🚲 Because I exclusively serve a 3-mile 'Strike Zone,' my day is built around being there exactly when your pet needs me most. Whether it’s a high-energy midday 'zoomie' session, a relaxing therapeutic wind-down, or a specialized post-op check-in, I fit into your routine like a missing puzzle piece. No long commutes, no 'stuck in traffic' excuses—just reliable, local care that keeps tails wagging and whiskers twitching. Plus, you can expect a front-row seat to the fun with high-quality photo and video updates from every single visit!

To make sure our first 'Mission: Happiness' is a total success, I like to have all the intel ready to go! During our Meet & Greet, we’ll do a quick 2-minute 'VIP Check' so I can focus 100% on your pet when I’m on the clock. The Local VIP Checklist: * The Safety Net: Since I’m your 3-mile neighbor, I want to know exactly who your preferred Vet is. It’s that 'just-in-case' peace of mind we both love! 🩺 * The Inside Scoop: Is there a 'scary' vacuum cleaner? A favorite 'hidey-hole'? Or maybe a secret ear-scratch spot? The more I know about their quirks and temperament, the better the photos I can send you! 📸 * The Health Profile: We’ll just double-check that their Rover profile is up-to-date with vaccines and any special medical or dietary needs (especially for my Senior and Post-Op friends!). That’s it! Once the paperwork is handled, it’s all about the fun, the walks, and the purrs. I can’t wait to meet my new neighbor!
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.
