Longtime pet loving helper
Pet care experience
I've been an animal lover and owner all my life (dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, horses, goats, pot-belly pigs, etc.) until a few years ago when I lost my last dog. I decided then that I wasn't going to get a new dog or cat, at least for now, and only love on others' pets. I've been pet and housesitting for the last five+ years, am extremely responsible, and have excellent local references. I'm a freelance book editor and formatter working from home (I also build websites), have a flexible schedule, and am able to work from anywhere with good wifi signal that I can have access to. I also work a part-time job in Oldham County that I go to several times a week so pets must be able to stay alone at least 7 hours at a time. Because I primarily work from wherever I'm staying, I cannot stay with high-maintenance pets who require a high amount of attention. I am living in the east end of Louisville (Prospect) area and would love to help you with your pet needs! Non-smoking homes only please! Rates for house and pet sitting are for a 24 hour period, so anything beyond that will be an additional $15.00/hour (or a full-day rate, whichever is less - NOT the extended care rates just added by Rover that they will not let me remove). Please let me know if you have any questions!
Reviews
Nita took excellent care of our three dogs, including two seniors that move at a gingerly pace. Communication and updates were great!
We have had Nita house sit for our Newfypoo twice and highly recommend her! House was clean when we returned and dog had been well taken care of.
Nita was wonderful to work with! The holidays are a crazy, busy time and leaving our dogs is always hard, but Nita took excellent care of them. Having two bulldogs, with health issues, can be demanding. She handled everything perfectly and sent pictures! Extra bonus was to come home to a very clean house.
Nita was better than we ever imagined. She was so good to our dogs and she made us feel so at ease while we left home for vacation. She was always available to communicate with us and even sent a few pictures to us while we were out of the country! We would recommend her for any job and will definitely book her again soon! Thank you Nita!
About Nita R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Each pet and family have various needs so I will discuss particulars with you before the stay to make sure it's a good fit for everyone.
Information Nita R. would like to know about your pet
I would need to know about their personality, how they are with other pets, children, etc. I would also need to know about their eating and bathroom habits.
A typical day
Walks, backyard play, etc. are all great options to keep the pet exercised, as well as indoor tug-of-war or gentle toy throws indoors, if acceptable to the pet parent(s). Each pet is an individual so I will work that out with the pet's parents.
Services
Nita can watch in your home
Availability
Since I work a part-time job, the pets must be able to stay at home for at least 7 hours at a time. Other days I work from wherever I'm staying.
