Safety, trust & environment

I have a large, fenced backyard that's perfect for zoomies or lounging in the sun. I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I am tidy and respectful of my client’s personal space. I will make sure that your dog gets all the love and attention they need to feel good about the time they spend with me. While pet cuddles are the best, I know each pet has their own temperament and personality, so I allow the dogs to show me what they like.

Information Rhonda P. would like to know about your pet

Has your dog been spayed or neutered? How does your dog behave around strangers, children, and other dogs?  Are they a bolter?  How careful do I need to be upon entering the home?  Has your dog ever shown aggression (biting, growling, etc.)? Does your dog have separation anxiety or any behavioral issues I should be aware of? What is your dog’s feeding schedule and diet? Are there any food allergies or restrictions? What treats (if any) are okay to give? How often and how long does your dog need walks or playtime? Does your dog walk well on a leash or use any special equipment (harness, muzzle)? Does your dog have any medical conditions, medications, or vet instructions? Is your dog up-to-date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention? Has your dog had recent surgeries or injuries? Is your dog allowed on furniture or beds? Is your dog crate-trained or free-roaming? Are there any areas in the home that are off-limits? What vet do you use, and what is their contact information? Do you have an emergency contact in case you're unreachable? How often would you like updates (photos, texts, etc.)? Do you have any specific instructions or quirks I should know about your dog?

A typical day

We'll start with pets, scratches, and cuddles, then spend time playing in the backyard, take a walk around the neighborhood, stopping to smell all the smells at your dog's pace, and relax with cuddling to end the day.

Pet care experience

I've been a dog lover for several years and have two rescued puppies who adore other dogs and tolerate cats. 😄 I love cuddling and giving pets, and dogs of all ages and sizes gravitate toward me, even before I was a dog owner myself. In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors, walks, and nature trails, and I'd like to do that with your pets as well. I will provide photos and text updates daily.

Rhonda was so great! She was super professional and communicative, always sending updates and checking in while we were away. She did a great job taking care of my kitten and chickens and send the cutest photos of them! I Would absolutely recommend her :)

Hi Rhonda, You and did a great job taking care of Peanut and Penny from when I was selling my house. Being Chiweenies they were both very nervous, but you were very patient and kind to both of my “pups”. Thank you 🐾🐾 Ellen

I have been friends with Rhonda for over 10 years. She is a kind, responsible, compassionate and caring person, and she loves dogs! She has 2 of her own, and showers them with love, good food, and long, frequent wandering walks. I have 2 dogs of my own, and they love her so much! I live out of state, and when she visits they are completely attached to her. Rhonda is flexible and accommodating. I highly recommend her for any type of animal care you need. She will do an excellent job!

My mom is amazing with dogs- she’s patient, loving, and always knows how to make them feel comfortable. Sometimes I think my own dog likes her more than me! She takes such good care of them, whether it’s making sure they’re well-fed, walked, or just giving them lots of attention and affection.
