Pet care experience

Big Heart, Empty Lap!

I’ve had both dogs and cats since I was five years old—life just doesn’t feel complete without a furry friend by my side. After the passing of my own pets, I realized I still have so much love to give. That’s why I’ve found real joy in fostering and caring for other people’s pets—because to me, it’s all about sharing love and companionship. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, long walks, or playtime (and more playtime!), I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and completely at home—whether that’s in your space or mine.

Bennie loved staying with Rhonda and enjoyed her constant attention and loving care. We felt so relieved when we received updates, photos, and videos, as this was the first time she sat for Bennie. Rhonda respected our requested instructions for feeding and walk times, and the two had a great time together. We’d absolutely recommend Rhonda, as she’s the kind of person we can trust.

Rhonda took the time and care to help me rest easy and my pooch live happy. She has a beautiful place and my pup could have gladly kept lounging. She was very responsive and has a natural and attuned way with dogs. We were lucky to have her within a few blocks and will be back!

Rhonda was extremely helpful about our last minute booking and very loving to our senior dog. She gave us lots of updates, was prompt at drop off and pick up, and has a great place and neighborhood for pets. We thank and highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

When your fur baby is with me—whether in your home or mine—they’re part of the family! I stick to their usual routine, whether that means long walks, zoomies in the yard, or couch snuggles (my personal favorite). I don’t have any pets right now and my children are grown, so when they stay with me it’s a one-on-one hangout—just me and your fur baby getting all the attention they want. In your home, I’ll keep things just the way they like it, with lots of love and playtime mixed in.

A typical day

Every fur baby is different, so I love matching activities to their personality! For the playful types, we’ll do fetch, tug-of-war, or explore new smells on long walks. For the cuddle bugs, there’s plenty of lap time, belly rubs, and cozy naps. I’m also happy to work in puzzle toys or enrichment games to keep their minds busy. And of course—treats (if allowed) and lots of silly conversation are always part of the fun!

I'd love to know any tips and tricks that are particular to your fur baby or special needs including diet and exercise. Also, I love to teach new tricks so any special toys or rewards to help keep them busy learning.
