“Rhi truly knows and loves dogs! Our beautiful big lab Farley has been loved and cared for by DDM one day a week for several years - the business is a huge help to our busy family. When Farley started having recall issues, Rhi promptly addressed these with some tailored one-to-one training. We are so thankful to Rhi and her business for making Farley part of the pack!”

“Highly recommend Delightful Dog Minds for dog walking as well as dog sitting. Rhi is fantastic, she takes the dogs on wonderful off lead adventures around Melbourne leaving you with one very happy and sleepy puppy! The picks up and drop off are super smooth and we’re convinced our dog likes Rhi more than us ☺️.”
