Animal lover with the sweetest dog
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Rita and I’ve always loved animals of all sorts, and all my friends know me as a dog lover. When I was younger, I volunteered at a no-kill shelter and rooted for dogs that have been there the longest to get adopted. My family has an 12 year old Yorkie, who I essentially grew up with. Before grad school, I worked at a popular dog product company, where I gained a wide variety of knowledge about dogs and worked in a dog-friendly office. I’ve also trained a few dogs to do multiple tricks. I have a 3 year old Alaskan Klee Kai named Andi. She is the sweetest girl and loves everyone (and animals!) She is mostly calm but loves to play with other dogs as well I also do freelance art on the side, and I draw customized pet portraits. Check out @illustrationsbyrita on Instagram to see some of my work!
Reviews
Rita provided amazing care for my dog during her visit. She consistently checked in, let me know how my and her dog were doing together and sent lots of photos! Would certainly have Rita watch tootsie again!
Luna had a great time with Rita and her pup, Andi! She’s been snoring away since I picked her up, catching up on rats from all the fun she had with them. Rita updated me daily with photos/videos, taking Luna to the park daily which she loves. Rita also left the sweetest personalized card and drawing of my pup! Great overall experience, highly recommended booking with Rita and Andi!
Rita definitely gets a 5-paw rating! Throughout the entire stay, she kept us completely at ease. She was great at communicating, flexible with drop off/pick up times, and sent lots of pictures and updates. Most importantly, she spent a lot of time with our often high drama “ME” personality cat, taking extra care when introducing her dog so as not to invite injury to either animal. We would happily choose her again and recommend her to others.
Rita is amazing! Wonderful communicator and just a sweet dog lover. Thank you for spending time with Blue and for giving him a good home while we were away.

Fortunately, I have just about the best dog on Earth so taking care of Andi is really easy. She gets a lot of exercise and attention as a princess. I can do whatever setup you need in order to make your pup feel comfortable in my home.

A typical day
Andi and I are super active. We love to go on long walks and runs. Often times I’ll take her to dogs parks or rec fields so she can get her zoomies out with other dogs. She also has an endless supply of toys and treats.

I have no holiday plans so I can be home all day! I know how stressful it can be to find a pet sitter over the holidays.
