Safety, trust & environment

I care for particularly pampered pets in the client's home. Services include in-home visits including feeding, putting out fresh water, brushing pets, taking dogs on walks, cleaning litter boxs, giving medications and engaging in activity. I bring stellar references and have earned a reputation for reliability, punctuality and being trustworthy.

Information Sheila R. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. I think it is essential to know the pet's basic personality and routines and if there are any "don't touch me there" spots. What is the feeding routine and if treats are allowed.

A typical day

I've found that neighborhood walks work best for dogs unless instructed otherwise, such as going to a dog park. Favorite dog interactions include walks, visits to dog parks, playing catch and fetch. Cat interactions include playing with toys, body rubs and lovin' up.

Known as reliable, punctual and trustworthy. Client Endorsements: "Sam loves having you take care of him!" - Suzie B. "Sheila Rice is the only person with whom I would leave my dog, Sophie. She is "in tune" with the way Sophie behaves and is able to achieve harmony in her home as soon as Sophie arrives. Sheila is loving and caring to Sophie without over doing it. Would and have recommended her to all my dog-owning friends." - Beth A.
