Need a Local, Responsible Adult?

Pet care experience

Hello my name is Kyle Ritter and I hope you will pick me to walk and care for your dogs, cats, or any other furry or scaly critters ABOUT ME: I am 39 years old and married with three children: a pair of twins that are 8 years old and a teenage daughter who is in high school. My wife is a Licensed Nurse and provides care for patients in their homes. I received my B.S. in Geology at UTSA in 2012. ANIMAL EXPERIENCE: I have been a Rover sitter for a few years now, and I think my reviews speak for themselves, please check them out! I had four dogs growing up Currently own 2 dogs and 2 cats, but have also cared for and fostered roughly 23 kittens in the last few years. My in-laws had 2 great danes, so I have had some experience with larger breeds. Thank you for considering me to look after your loved ones. I look forward to hearing from you!

Another great stay! We always feel like we can travel worry-free when Kyle is taking care of our pets. We even had a last minute addition to our furry family (who also needs some behavior work) but Kyle was there for us, no problem!

Kyle was a great person to work with from the get go. Although I waited until a couple of days before we were scheduled to leave town to contact Rover, and then contact Kyle, he responded quickly, met with us the same day and was ready to assist even though we got with him just a couple of days before our departure. Kyle took excellent care of our two neurotic kitties, one indoor and one outdoor. He has a lot of experience with all sorts of cats and kitty situations. While we were gone Kyle was in daily communication with us. And our kitties were in great shape when we got home after being gone a week. He also met our other three cats, 2 kittens and one crazy orange cat, who were with us during our trip, and they readily warmed up to Kyle and vice versa. I’ve never used Rover and was hesitant to hire someone I knew nothing about except what was provided by Kyle on the website and by reviewers whom I also did not know. But it turns out Rover is very good about monitoring pet sitters, ensuring they show up as requested, and they have a plan in place in case of emergency. They also do background checks on the sitters who register with them. All in all, Kyle is a very conscientious, responsible, reliable, caring and professional person and I will not hesitate to ask him to take care of all 5 of our kitties in the future.
