Caring and Trustworthy Pet Lover
Hi there! I’m a devoted animal lover who believes that every pet deserves love, attention, and care. Whether it’s long walks, gentle cuddles, or playful adventures, I make sure each furry friend feels safe, happy, and cherished. I treat every pet as if they were my own, listening to their needs and giving them the affection they crave. You can trust me to provide a calm, loving environment where tails wag, purrs abound, and pets feel completely at home. I’d be honored to care for your four-legged family member and give them all the love and attention they deserve! What to Expect: Your pup will feel safe, loved, and right at home. A secure rooftop yard for zoomies, sunbathing, and supervised play. Enrichment activities: chew toys, lick mats, puzzle feeders, and more. Nap times with dimmed lights and calming music. Tons of cuddles. Regular updates with photos and messages. A compassionate, loving, and friendly environment full of positive energy. Important Notes: Please bring your dog’s favorite blanket, food, treats, and a leash. Puppy crate for safe nap/bed time.

Ratings and reviews
Rita took great care of my pup! She was very timely with giving updates on the day and how my pup was doing! Would def bring Rey back! She cares for the pups a lot and handles them with love
Rita was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs this weekend! She is very caring. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such capable, caring hands. Highly recommend Rita to anyone!
Rita to the rescue! We were a little anxious because we adopted our dog right before the holidays and needed to find holiday dogsitting. Dave loved Rita’s dog River and came home relaxed and well cared for. We will absolutely send Dave to stay with Rita again!
She did a wonderful job, was very flexible, and our pup had a great time!
Rita was amazing! Lola had a wonderful weekend with her and River!
Rita was great with our dog Maggie! She sent plenty of updates and photos. I'll absolutely use her again.

Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet as part of my family. Whether in my home or yours, I follow their routines, give plenty of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Walks, cuddles, playtime, or quiet companionship—I adjust to what your pet needs most. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax, knowing your furry friend is in loving hands.
