Now that I’m semi retired, I have all the time in the world to dedicate to something I truly love—caring for animals. My days are wide open, which means I can easily adjust to your pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. Spending time with animals has always been one of my favourite pastimes, and it brings me joy to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s a relaxed cuddle session with a senior cat, an energetic walk with a playful dog, or checking in throughout the day, I have the flexibility and the heart to give your pets the attention they deserve.

About Rhonda G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I care for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I keep a calm, pet-friendly environment with lots of love, attention, and plenty of time for play or rest depending on their needs. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, administering medications, or keeping up with favourite activities. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I make it a priority to keep their day-to-day life as familiar and stress-free as possible. No matter the setting, I give each pet the patience, care, and affection I’d want for my own.

Information Rhonda G. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special requirements, from activity levels to medications. I have spent a lot of time with dogs who need special foods, daily medications and even a few who required regular injections. As part of our hand-off, I always recommend an open conversation on your pets' needs and your expectations!
A typical day
I like to take as much input as I can from the owners, since they know their pet best! Whether it’s a playful game of fetch, exploring new trails on a walk, or enjoying a fun tug-of-war, I try make sure each pet gets activities that match their personality and energy level. For pups who love the outdoors, I enjoy going on nature walks or visiting dog-friendly parks. For more laid-back companions, I’m all about cuddle time, gentle brushing, and interactive toys. I also like to make sure there are always plenty of belly rubs, ear scratches, and love. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care.

Decades of care for dogs and cats!
Pet care experience
I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals, and I truly can’t imagine a home without them. Over the years, I’ve raised and trained dogs from puppyhood—including golden retrievers, labs, and shepherd mixes—and loved them through every stage of life until their senior years. I’ve also cared for cats for more than 25 years, including fostering pregnant mothers and nursing newborn kittens. What really sets me apart is my experience with pets that need extra care: elderly, injured, or special-needs animals who require patience, strength, and compassion. Through volunteering with LAWS and the Humane Society, I’ve had the privilege of supporting animals in all kinds of situations. I’m active, reliable, and strong—I go to the gym regularly—and I’ll bring that same energy, love, and dedication to caring for your pets as if they were my own.

Reviews
Rhonda took great care of our kitty and home. She communicated promptly if she had questions or concerns and sent daily photos. She left the house in spotless condition! Wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
Rhonda really loves dogs! Our elderly guy really enjoyed her daytime visits. Rhonda was very accommodating and flexible with a last minute change that was out of our control. She was very conscientious about the care and health of our dog.
Awesome job. Rhonda is so responsible and communicative. Needless to say our animals adore her! Always leaves the place better than she found it. So grateful for you dear Rhonda.
Rhonda was very accommodating!
