Plenty of room to run and hike!

Pet care experience

I have two acres of land and one super friendly veszla mix that loves doggie visitors! I'm willing to pick up for dog-sitting as well. I live very close to various dog friendly hikeing trails and the more dogs the merrier! My husband and I have plenty of room inside and out, however I will be the one taking care of the dogs as I own a dance studio and my hours are far more flexible. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all my life, I have always had and trained my own dogs. My own dog has become my dance studio mascot and comes with me everywhere! About my yard I have 2 acres of land that is partially fenced in, but I will work with the dogs on learning to stay within the yard. My experience administering medication Yes I am.

Don't hesitate to request a stay for your dog with Riitta. She is the best! Our dog was with her last week and she took great care of him. Beyond our expectations. She kept him very busy and sent us lots of pictures too. Communication was excellent. Her house is beautiful and plenty of room for your dog to explore! She is the absolute nicest person. Thanks again Riitta for taking such good care of Boomer!

Riitta is incredibly compassionate with dogs and loves to spend time with them, especially outside running trails, playing in the yard, or even just letting them roam free in a safe area. She has raised multiple breeds ranging from Miniature Dobermans to her current Vizsla/Doberman mix and seems to do well with both big and small dogs alike, although she prefers larger more active breeds. I would entrust her to look after my dog, having seen her interactions with her own dog and her parent's current Australian Cattle dog.

Riitta's love for dogs transcends the typical passion for pooches. No only is her own dog treated like royalty and part of the family, but any dog lucky enough to be in her care receives the same five star service. Our dog has been cared for by Riitta in the past and we would recommend her to anyone who is seeking a responsible individual who truly understands the needs of a dog. While our dog was in her care she enjoyed the company of Riitta's very calm, very well socialized dog. Our dog was taken on hikes to burn off energy, was given every comfort of home and we knew we had nothing to worry about regarding safety, companionship or care. Look no further than Riitta if excellent care for your dog is your number one priority.

I have known Riitta for many years and have watched her with her dog Ruby and other animals. She is caring and very attentive. Very responsible , dependable and trust worthy. I would highly recommend her for dog care. Riitta is a very loving and giving person not only with animals.
