*I love all dogs but unfortunately I can only host dogs 20 lbs. and under. *I can watch your cats and other pets while you're away as well. Ask me! Your dog will get lots of love, attention and playtime here. You can expect your dog to receive two 30-minute walks per day, lots of social interaction and unlimited access to our large backyard. On weekends and holidays, your dog can look forward to long hikes, off leash romps (if appropriate) and beach trips in warm weather. You’ll receive daily updates with photos, because I know how much you’ll miss your pup. A bit about me. I'm a work at home single mom and long time dog foster and volunteer for Pound Puppy Rescue and the Silicon Valley Humane Society. I have had dogs my whole life and have experience with all sizes, ages and personalities of dogs. I have experience with administering shots and medications, training and managing behavioral issues and anxiety. My two kids, ages 15 and 11, love hosting dogs. We have cared for disabled dogs, mamas and their puppies, aging dogs, high-energy dogs, anxious dogs and sick dogs who required intensive care. My kids are with me during the week and with their dad most weekends. We have three resident dogs who are used to having other dogs in the house. Two of our dogs will typically leave with the kids to visit their dad. So depending on when you book, there may be one dog here or three dogs. My goal is for your dog to have a great vacation while you do. Keeping your dog(s) happy, healthy and safe is my priority. I ask that your dog meet the following requirements for a great time here: dogs much have current flea and tick prevention, dog must have up to date yearly Bordetella vaccine, dog must be spayed or neutered (unless he/she is puppy age). I look forward to meeting you and your dog!

I think my dog wants to move in with Rita, her dogs, and her family! I was nervous about leaving Bernie for the week since I have had a bad experience with a dog sitter recently, but after visiting with Rita before my trip my mind was set at ease. While I was gone I received photos (and even a video) a couple times/day as I requested and they all made me smile. Bernie was playing with other dogs, which he loves, he was out in parks, on walks, chilling on the couch with other dogs, etc. We had some hilarious texts about how Bernie was doing and some of his funny behaviors which assured me he was feeling right at home. I can't thank you enough, Rita and family! I think Bernie is missing you all!
This is the second time our dog has stayed with Rita. He was well taken care of and she updated us several times a day with photos & videos. Every day she took her "pack" to a local park for excercise and fun. She has a dog-friendly home and an enclosed backyard that is well maintained. Highly recommended.
Every time Chewy has stayed with Rita, it's been a wonderful experience! It's like doggie summer camp for him. All the dogs are sweet and Rita is so in tune with each one.
Rita is amazing, we are so lucky to have found her! Our Corgi had a great time with her, and she really treats every dog like her own.
