Information Rita D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your fur babies habits and personality. That's important so I know the proper care for your pet. Your pet must be potty trained. Accidents happen, but your dog must be potty trained and neutered. I watch only for one client at a time so your fur baby is well taken care off.

A typical day

Hot days we have our doggie pool and a mister for those dogs that don't like the pool, walks every day weather permitting and an air conditioned finished basement to run and have fun.

Patches had a wonderful time (5 days) with Rita. She was well cared for and played with her dog, Barley. We were given updates and sent pictures/videos! Would definitely ask Rita again!

I would definitely recommend Rita for boarding your Fur Baby! She was great with Harper and gave him a lot of love and snuggles! 😊

Rita took exceptional care of our puppy, Rio, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From day one, she was attentive, patient, and incredibly loving. Rio was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time and in many ways, she did an even better job than we do ourselves! We felt completely at ease knowing Rio was in such capable hands. We highly recommend Rita to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and amazing to care for their pet. Thank you, Rita, for taking such wonderful care of Rio! 🐶💛
