Founder

Hi, I'm Jill Rhoads, founder of Happy Days Pet Sitting.

My passion for animals and dedication to their well-being has guided my career for more than 30 years. I earned my Associate Degree in Veterinary Technology from St. Petersburg College and became a Florida Certified Veterinary Technician. I later earned a Bachelor's Degree in Biology and, in 2018, completed a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management from DeVry University.

Throughout my veterinary career, I worked primarily in small animal medicine with a special emphasis on exotic animal care. I also spent many years providing trusted pet and house sitting services for families who wanted their pets cared for in the comfort of their own homes.

After retiring from veterinary practice, I knew I still wanted to make a difference in the lives of pets and their owners. As a pet owner myself, I understand how difficult it can be to find a dependable, knowledgeable, and compassionate pet sitter. That experience inspired me to create Happy Days Pet Sitting.

My goal is simple: to provide professional, loving, and reliable in-home care that keeps pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their families are away. Happy Days Pet Sitting is fully insured and bonded through Pet Care Insurance, giving clients added peace of mind knowing their beloved pets are in trusted hands.

I look forward to caring for your pets as if they were my own.
