Pet care experience

On The Rhodes Pet & House Sitting

Pets have been described as children who never grow up. Being a fur mom for 15 years to a tiny diva dog, I can definitely relate. I love animals; and have had the privilege over the past 20 years to care for various pets of other fur parents as needed. In home sitting or drop-in visits has aided in assuring fur parents in feeling secure that their pets are being looked after, but their homes as well. I look forward to extending that same love and needed care to others who want responsible, worry-free care for their beloved pets while away from home. Local to the Grand Prairie/Arlington/Mansfield area. Available to the greater Dallas/Fort Worth area upon special request and availability. Book with Rover Services Today!

Where do I start when there are only positive things to say about Nita, the dog whisperer! We went out of town for a week and she kept our 14 year old sweet girl in our home. She went above and beyond in her care of Layla, even preparing a fresh veggie topper for her meals and following all the instructions we left. We discussed some of Layla’s sensitive tummy issues and she adjusted the topper for her (so she could still enjoy it, and enjoy it she did!!). Nita is thoughtful, caring, kind, knowledgeable and loving to our old girl and very respectful of our home (any time she had a question, she would ask promptly). After meeting her in person before the stay, we knew we would be leaving our Layla girl (and our home) in very capable hands. Thank you so much Nita for being an amazing caregiver and wonderful person. We hope to use you again in the future. You won’t be disappointed if you choose Nita (just go ahead and make the booking, you won’t regret it).

This was our first time with rover and of course Nita. Nita was fabulous, we have two large pups, 78 lbs and 103lbs, and two cats. Our pups loved her, and our place was so well taken care of, cats fed and cleaned up after. We'll be booking Nita again! I'm pretty sure (100%) our pups will be happy to see her once more.

Nita is a natural with our baby. As an anxious new dog mom to a very young, small breed puppy who needs a lot of attention and constant care at his age, Nita’s professionalism, friendliness, experience, and obvious love for animals were so appreciated during a week-long business trip out of state. She was punctual, communicative (photos and updates every day), and took great care with our beloved Gio. Highly recommend!

Nita took great care of our babies! Even the cat came out to see her! She made sure that our vacation was a vacation for them - taking Woody swimming and playing ball to his heart's delight! She is super responsive, attentive and caring for all of us! We will definitely rebook :-)

I will need to know if they are biters. If they have any aggressive tendencies. How they are handled, and if they are house trained. Knowledge of any special needs (medication) outside of their diet.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
