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.

Great communication! I received photos and updates. Rita was awesome in accommodating my last minute change in pickup time. I'll definitely use her services again!

Ms. Rita is so nice and amazing and very knowledgeable! Our pups took to her right away. She sent us pictures and updates daily. We could tell our pups were right at home with her. We highly recommend her!

Rita is an incredible sitter! We had to book her last minute for a 3 night stay without a prior meet and greet, and she handled everything flawlessly. She greeted our dogs, Blue and Leesi, right at the door, sent regular updates and walk photos, and made them feel completely at home. Our pup Blue is a total cuddle bug who struggles to sleep alone, and Rita was sweet enough to let him sleep right with her. She is incredibly kind, highly responsive, and our dogs loved her. Highly recommend!

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.
