Your dog's favorite vacation spot!

Pet care experience

If you're heading out of town, feeling overwhelmed, or just need a trustworthy hand to care for your pet, I'm here to help! I’m new to Rover! I offer devoted and compassionate dog walking and boarding services, bringing years of experience from caring for the beloved pets of friends and roommates. My approach is always caring and full of enthusiasm, ensuring every walk and staycation is a joyful experience for your dog. As a nature lover, I visit parks daily and take frequent walks, so your dog will enjoy plenty of outdoor fun. Your dog's happiness and well-being are my top priorities as we explore together. I have a soft spot for senior pups, providing them with the extra gentle care and cuddles they deserve. Plus, I love sharing photo updates of our adventures, so you'll never miss a moment!

Rita did a great job caring for Lilah! Lilah is nervous with new people but Rita was patient and let Lilah get to know her and they are buddies now! Lilah also had some issues with a former surgery site and Rita handled it with professionalism and care. Rita also took out Lilah multiple times per day and explored new places, keeping Lilah entertained during her 10 day stay.

This is the second time Adhara has stayed with Rita and shes great! Rita always sends updates on how shes doing with pictures included and I love hearing about whatever adventures they get up to! Adhara can be anxious and slow to warm up to people but Im glad shes got a sitter she trusts

Rita was great with my very nervous Mini Schnauzer. The communication from the meet & greet through final pick up was great. She sent a daily update and at least one picture every day. I will definitely have Rita take care of my dog again in the future.

Information rita a. would like to know about your pet

Things I like to know : • are they on flea and tick treatment? • any aggressive triggers so I can be aware • things that others sitters have shared about behavior around new people and unfamiliar places

A typical day

A typical day with me will involve multiple walks outside to discover new sights and smells. Then lots of play time and cuddles. Maybe even a park adventure if there is time on a weekend!
