Pet care experience

Loving & Responsible Pet Caregiver

I’ve grown up taking care of numerous types of animals, primarily cats and dogs. My neighbors, family and friends rely on me for their pet care needs because I treat them as my own, giving them love and attention in addition to their regular feedings and potty needs.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I make your pet’s needs my main priority. If they should make any messes while you are away, I always do my best to clean it up as thought it never happened, so you can come home to a happy fur baby and find your home just the way you left it.

Rita is an amazing person! She is an animal lover and I’ve had the experience to witness her interact with dogs, cats, horses, etc. She’s met my doggie Benny and I would trust her in taking care of my pet!

Every time I go out of town I have Rita watch my pets. Rita is responsible, thoughtful, and loving. I can tell my pets are well taken care of when I'm gone and that gives me peace of mind. My cats are always happy to see her when she does come over. She always plays with my cats and spends plenty of time with them while I'm away ensuring they feel loved and aren't lonely. My litter boxes are always clean. One of my cats pukes frequently and she always cleans it up so I'm not coming home to a mess. I also have fish that she gives the same care for. Would highly recommend Rita for all your pet needs as she is a huge animal lover.

She loves animals and takes care of all of them as if they were her own. You would be lucky to have her take care of your pets and can relax in peace knowing your animals will be loved and cared for properly, like family.
