Information Rita C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs regarding diet, walks, medication, and interaction with other pets. Your dog must be able to tolerate cats and other dogs. My pets are friendly with and used to different dogs in my home but I can keep the cats separated if need be.

A typical day

We do lots of cuddles at my house. Walks several times a day as well. Full fenced backyard and toys for extra play. Summertime sprinklers and water play are also a regular fun activity at our house.

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets for over 20 years and I have taken care of other families’ fur babies for 5 years now! I have the perfect home for your dog; fully fenced backyard, hard floors, nearby Cottonwood Creek Park for walks, and lots of comfy spots for them to relax. You can trust me to feed, bathe, walk, and cuddle regularly. I am also willing to give medication and have experience with it.

Our Fignacious was boarded for the first time (in a not family friend situation) with Rita and we can't say enough about the positive experience he had. Great pics and information where shared. We definitely recommend Rita for your pups!

Rita was great with Maple. I was worried that it would take my dog some time to adjust to being inside a new home. Rita and her dog Luna showed her the way. Plenty of updates were sent throughout the day and I had no doubt Maple was in good hands while I was away. Will book again!

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.
