About: I am a pet professional and have cared for pets my whole life. I just rescued my dog in February and I foster dogs, I am experienced in caring for dogs of any size, age, and temperament. I have dogs of all ages and energy levels at my house as well as the ability to keep dogs grouped based on their mutual likes and dislikes. I have dog sat for people often and I am confident in my abilities to care for pets. I am good with picky eaters, as well as dogs that that have separation anxiety, and other difficulties dogs might have. All around animal lover who would love to play with puppies and kitties alike. Looking forward to meeting and playing with your furry animal. Hopefully we will be in touch about any services I offer soon. I typically work later in the day but I like to take my dog and fosters in the morning for exercise. I come home on my break to do potty breaks and I make sure we get our zoomies out when I get off work before we go to bed. I have a fully fenced in yard and a dog who is great with other dogs. I foster dogs with different energy levels and they make great playmates. I am able to crate dogs when needed/wanted and I have many ways of grouping dogs based on their likes and dislikes.

17. Rita O.
“We met Rita at an out of town wedding a year ago February. We lived near by each other and struck up a a great friendship. She watched our mutual acquaintance’s dog, so asked her to watch our Jasper during our trip to Alaska last fall. Jasper is 9 year old Beagle/Jack/Dachsie mix. He has IVDD and Bilious Vomiting Syndrome. Not the easiest dog to sit for. So special diet, had to be carried up and down stairs no jumping on couches or beds. Follow the routine of walkies and treats. Plus he has a few quirks. Rita was excited to watch him with out batting an eyelash. Followed his schedule to the letter. (I have nosey neighbors). We count on her quite a bit as we travel frequently. Jasper loves her so much. She takes care of him as we would.”

I wholeheartedly recommend her for your dog care needs, whether it be housesitting or just an occasional walk or drop-in visit.”
