Experienced and Reliable Pet Care

I bring a background in equine therapy and being in tune with animals for over 20 years. I'm skilled at reading body language, understanding stress and anxiety, and adjusting my approach to each individual pet's needs. I have hands-on experience with puppies and with dogs who struggle with separation anxiety, so I know how to build trust, create structure, and help them feel calm and secure.

Rima is an exceptionally responsible and attentive caregiver. She gave our pet so much love, sticking carefully to her routine and keeping us updated the entire time. I always have complete peace of mind leaving our furry family member in her care, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Rima has taken care of my cats dog and horse several times. She brings a knowledgeable, gentle yet firm and loving attitude towards all animals in her care. She is always punctual and very conscientious, responsible and professional. I can’t recommend her highly enough and would trust her with any furry family member of mine.

Rima has taken care of my dog for a long weekend and she did so very well. I would trust her with my dog anytime and I think she will do a great job with any other pet. She grew up around animals and you can tell she knows what she is doing. I would recommend her warmly for Rover!

Post-COVID, I became extremely selective about who I trust with my dog. Finding Rima was such a relief. She is remarkably gentle, attentive, and caring. When my dog is with her, I can fully relax and go out without worrying for a second.

Safety, trust & environment

I will treat every pet with patience and affection, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for the whole time they're with me.

A typical day

Every day starts with a good walk to burn off energy, followed by playtime with toys. I love mixing in short training refreshers, puzzle feeders for mental stimulation, and plenty of cuddle time. If the weather’s nice, we’ll head to a nearby park to explore new sights and smells, and I always make sure there’s a cozy spot to relax and recharge afterward.

Please let me know about any allergies, medications, feeding schedules, or behavioral quirks so I can give your pet the best care possible. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from laidback seniors to high energy puppies, and I’m happy to accommodate specific routines, crate training, or separation anxiety needs.
