Safety, trust & environment

In the clients home I would care for pets by spending time with them showing affection, attention and having play time. In discussing with the client feeding, having fresh water, giving meds would all be a must to do.

Information Rhonda P. would like to know about your pet

What I feel is important in letting me know is if your dog has any behavioral or dog reactive issues I should be aware of

A typical day

What fun activities I will do with your dog are Go on walks/hikes, play fetch, run, do interactive games. If you have a fenced in yard I would let them run around & play with them there as well. And with your permission I would drive your dog to a dog park, go get a pup cup... have a bit of a doggy day out. And since I do have experience in safely transporting a dog(s) to where they need to be I will be able to, if need be, transport your dog to an appt or wherever you need them to be if your unable to because of time or circumstance. And sending pictures/updates of your pets, that are under my care, to the owner I would do as well.

Pet care experience

My passion lies in dog handling and animal caretaking. I've worked at a Vet hospital as a kennel attendant/animal caretaker for 7 years so I've handled all sizes, breeds and temperments of dogs, including Senior dogs. I also have dealt with cats at Hillside feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving clean blankets and playing with them. I have experience administering meds. My visits will include any or all of the following; walks, feeding, fresh water, giving meds, attention and affection, as well as story time and belly rubs! My experience in dog walking inludes volunteering at a local dog shelter doing 'doggy day outs', this includes walks, car rides and socialization of the dogs. I also walk my 80 lb strong willed Chessie on a daily basis. I have done dog transports for various rescues in getting them into their foster and/or adoptive homes. I've volunteered in the past for a local rescue for at risk dogs, socializing, leash manners and human leadership (pack leader) training. With years of experience I am well practiced in reading dog body language and I am able to provide dogs with their needs and wants.

This has been the second time we’ve booked Rhonda to care for our cat while we are away. Rhonda is great — super communicative, takes the best pictures, and of course takes care of our sweet kitty! Will definitely be booking again.

Rhonda was kind, communicative and attentive to our kitties! She and her husband went above and beyond to ensure our stubborn cat received his daily medication and gave lots of love and attention to our other affectionate little guy. They made being away much easier on us!

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.
