Rhys

Hello,

I am Rhys a 33 y.o male with a female swiss shepherd - Luna, she is 4 years old.

My house is in a good location only 5 mins walk from cafe's, groceries, take aways, train station (only a few stops to city), and Newport Lakes where there is a fenced in, off leash dog park.

Luna is well behaved and trained, she is responsive to a few basic commands (sit, wait, off, shake, lie down) etc, doesn't bark - and ultimately just likes lazing around with people near her (she will follow you in and outside lol). She is great off leash and ideally she would be taken daily to a local park for some off-leash exercise.

Ideally I am looking for someone who is remote working and/or enjoys hanging around the house or going on adventures with Luna so that she isn't left alone for long periods of time (4+ hours) on a daily basis.

Please contact me if you're interested!

We took care of Luna for 1 week in April and it has been such a good time for us ! Rhys is really communicative, he will respond very quickly if you need anything, we were glad to meet him. Luna is the kindest dog you can hope for, she is playful, she will listen to you and she loves to be pet :) She will be ok alone too, if you want to go visit the city. The house is really well located, 7/8min walk from train station, quiet and calm neighbourhood. Don’t miss the chance to stay with ... MORE

Rhys did a great job communicating with us before and also during the sit. His house was comfortable and his dog Luna was lovely. She was such a gentle sweetheart and loved our company just as much as we loved hers. We’d be happy to house sit for Rhys again.

Luna was lovely and we enjoyed our little stay with her. She is a relax and funny dog. I hope we can stay for another time with her

I had a really great time at Rhys’s out in Newport nesting in the cottage, studying & being with Luna! Luna is an absolute gem of a dog & wouldn’t hesitate to come & spend time with her again going on adventures around the local parks, near the lake & to the surrounding beaches. Feeling very grateful & reset from this time. Thank you kindly Rhys, and perhaps we’ll cross paths again ☺️

I've been looking after pets on my own non-stop since August 2023 and this was the first time I did a pet sitting with a friend of mine. It was a lovely experience and all worked very well. Manu and I had the best time ever taking care of Luna. She was delightful, so easy, friendly, polite, and well-behaved. We loved her company and had so much fun playing with her at home or the park. Rhys is also super friendly and communicative and will answer your messages very shortly. The house is well ... MORE

Sitting for Rhys was an absolute pleasure. Luna is a well trained, well behaved pup with a huge personality who kept us laughing the whole stay. Rhys is a great communicator who left clear instructions. The house has everything we needed and was very clean and tidy. We would jump at the opportunity to look after Luna again!
 
JULIET (Jul 2023 - 6 nights)
Rhys was very easy and prompt to communicate with. He made sure the house was ready for my arrival. Luna is an incredible dog, she loves your company and is always ready for a rub. She's bright and playful with her toys and other dogs, the dog park was a wonderful place to have her off leash. It was a comfortable and no fuss stay at Rhys'.
 
LYDIA CHONG (Jun 2023 - 5 days)
Luna is an amazing dog we had such a great time together and we enjoyed a lot the park near by and the beach 40 min by walk. The communication with Rhys was uncomplicated and easy. Had a great time in the house.
