About Rhea

I am a 23-year-old freelance artist from Scotland and I have just moved over to Melbourne. I used to do pet sitting alongside my art in Glasgow so I have some experience in looking after dogs! I used a similar application to this one, called ROVER, to pet sit in Scotland. I don't yet have a permanent address here in Melbourne so I can only offer dog-walking and house visit/ house sitting services for now.

I have experience looking after a variety of different dogs from boisterous excitable dogs to shy and reactive dogs. I'm happy to look after any kind of dog no matter the size, breed or behavioural tendency. If you have a nervous dog I am also happy to meet them prior to booking so they can get to know me prior to being left alone with me if you think that would make them more comfortable!

I have always been around animals as I lived next to a farm growing up and had family dogs. I'm really missing my family dog and the dog I used to look after regularly so I'd love to look after dogs again here in Melbourne to help cure the homesickness!

Specific Skills

I speak English
< 5 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
I have helped to train my family and friends dogs, by myself and by taking them to classes. I have given tablets to my family dogs so I know some tricks to help get them to take it peacefully. I have looked after rescue dogs before and each has been different so it’s just a case of getting to know each dog and how they behave to different situations. I have looked after a lot of dogs that grew up during the COVID pandemic and as a result are quite nervous around strangers/ other dogs. I learnt a few ways to help make them feel more comfortable and also do a bit of training with them. But I know sometimes it’s best to just avoid confrontation and do walks in quiet streets and cross the road away from any people or dogs if they’re feeling particularly anxious.
