Pet care experience
Hello pet parents! I'm Rita, your devoted and dependable pet sitter, committed to ensuring your cherished family members receive unparalleled care and attention while you embark on your travels, enjoying complete peace of mind. With a profound love for animals and over seven years of experience as a professional pet sitter, I recognize the significance of going beyond basic care. My goal as your pet sitter is to create a warm and affectionate environment, making your time away stress-free and your pets' experience thoroughly enjoyable. My lifelong exposure to dogs and cats started with my dad raising Irish Setters during my early years, and we had the joy of growing up with a German Shepherd. Throughout my adult life, I've had two dogs and two cats, and for over 25 years, I've been entrusted with the care of dogs from friends and family. I find immense joy in walking and engaging in a bit of running with dogs, as well as working on tricks and training. Recognizing the importance of mental stimulation, I enjoy playing various games that stimulate your pets' minds. For those undergoing crate training, I implement crate training games to enhance their comfort. My experience spans across a multitude of breeds, including Boxers, English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Australian Shepherds, Saint Bernards, and many more. I particularly adore caring for senior pets, offering assistance with medication administration and even spoon-feeding if required. I adhere to the belief that dogs shouldn't be left alone for more than 4 to 6 hours and should not be outside alone, prioritizing their safety. During house-sitting, your home becomes my base of operations, and I ensure meticulous care, surpassing the standards of my own home. Your space will be maintained or improved upon, including tasks such as bringing in mail and packages, taking out the garbage, watering plants, and tending to any other small details that require attention during your absence. Your trust is paramount, and the safety and well-being of your pets are my highest priorities.
Reviews
After my original dog walker sent me a text the day she was supposed to start walking Eeva informing me she broke her arm and I’d have to make other arrangements, I frantically searched for a dog walker, as I was out of town for business. Rita stepped in and did a great job. She showed up every day on time, and was communicative as well. Would highly recommend Rita for your pet needs!
Rita was great with Van! She was very communicative and sent lots of photos. Will definitely book with her again
Rita is so dependable and my Frenchie loves her. I feel safe and confident that my fur baby is in the best hands possible. Highly recommend Rita
Rita did a meet and greet with me and my babe, she made me feel so at ease with allowing a stranger in my home. I have a 1yr old who is very stubborn and ambitious, she got him to go on a long walk where others couldn’t. Highly recommend Rita.

When I sit for your pets in your home this includes me staying over night, feeding your pets, cleaning up after them, taking dogs out for at least one half hour walk. I maybe need to leave but will not leave dogs alone for more than 4-6 hours.

Information Rita B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the size and breed of your dog and how they react around other dogs and pets. Knowing their feeding and potty break schedule would also be helpful along with any special needs your pet needs. I do expect all pets to be updated with their vaccines and tick and flea and other treatments.
A typical day
I love to stimulate your dog physically and mentally. I look forward to exploring your neighborhood with your dog. Dogs need to smell and explore, but I can also help with issues such as pulling and we can discuss any reactivity issues your dog may have on a walk.

I am currently only boarding repeat clients in my home. I don't have a fenced in yard but I will take your dogs out for at least 1 half hour walk on a leash or otherwise engage them in exercise and play.
