I am not set up for boarding pets. However, I'm caring for the needs of a clients fur baby in their home, I gather as much needed information during our meet and greet

Information Nita R. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

Local neighborhood walks at a recreational or dog park. Fetch. Belly rubs. Ear and butt scratches if they're in to that sort of thing. I have a comfy lap for the lap size dogs and the ones who don't know they aren't.

Pet care experience

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!

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 :-)

This was my first experience using Rover. Nita helped me navigate the process and feel comfortable leaving my fur baby dozer. Nita was communicative and sent all the pictures so I knew my boy was having a good time! She really went above and beyond to make dozer comfortable and happy while i was away. She even cooked him his own special food topper! I would highly recommend and will definitely be using Nita again in the future!!

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.
