Information Rita E. would like to know about your pet

I am able to work with any and all kid of pets, no pet is too big or small! I do currently have a husky so I enjoy high energy dogs.

A typical day

I love to take dogs for walks around the neighborhood to help get some energy out or I love to play a good game of fetch with them!

Rita was great! I definitely recommend her. She watched my 10 week old puppy while my husband and I went out for dinner, and she made us feel very comfortable leaving her for the first time. She respected our home, kept us updated with photos, and took great care of our puppy. We would absolutely book with her again!

Glad to have booked with Rita! She sent pictures kept us updated and was very responsive. We really appreciated her fitting us in and being patient with Fancy since it was her first time. Fancy was definitely in good hands 😊
