Pet care experience
My husband and I take care of your fur baby together and we both work from home so you can almost guarantee that your pet will have someone home with them at all times. I have 8 years experience and my husband has 5 years experience! We've both a taken a 30 hour course on dog and cat care, which also focused on senior dog and cat care, so we know how to care for your fur babies! We have both been doing this several years because we love being around pets, but we couldn't have one of our own one until very recently. I personally mostly cared for pets of friends and family and volunteered at a pet shelter, but built a private clientele over the years and decided to join Rover. My husband had mostly experience caring for cats growing up, but over his adult years was exposed to dogs and we can't wait to have one be our own one day soon! We will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is safe and happy and has a great experience!
Reviews
Rita takes great care of my cat Julian. I leave often for work trips and she is always there to answer my booking requests and take him in.
Rita & her husband were so accommodating and I loved the regular updates and pics! They took great care of my scaredy cat and she seemed to love it by the end!
Fantastic care for our little old lady cat! I was very pleased with the daily updates and pictures, letting me know how Nancy was adjusting to a new environment. Rita and her husband were kind and attentive, and overall, for a cat who has had in home care for most of her life, it was the best possible situation. I will definitely request Rita for her care again. Thank you so much!
Rita was 10 stars!! I was in Long Beach to run the marathon. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and any anxiety I had was gone. I had a great race! Thank you Rita! The boys will be back next year!

My husband and I live with our cat on the third floor with a balcony and a guest room that also functions as a play room for our cat and a small office space. We allow pets to roam free in our space unless you request we keep them away from our cat, in which case we put her away in the play room and let your pet roam around the rest of the condo. We also do this if you're not sure how your pup or kitty will react to ours and slowly introduce them with your consent. Also, while we do not typically accept more than one pet at a time, we are willing to make an exception if you have an additional pet you need watched, such as a brother or sister or play partner for your pet, especially if they are more comfortable not being separated from a companion they are already accustomed to. We make these exceptions only for pets within the same household, not for pets from different households, unless you and a family member have pets which already get along which you are okay rooming together. Please check out our profile pictures to see our space and the park on the corner.
Home
Information Rita G. would like to know about your pet
We would like to know what kind of exercise they may require, and if there are things they dislike (people wearing hats, children, specific noises, etc), and if they have any separation anxiety. Also any health problems, medicines they take, special food diet and preferences, and anything else we need to know in order to make their experience as comfortable and happy as possible. You know your pet best so please let us know their unique love language.
A typical day
When your pet is with us they will be cared for like they are our very own and, with your approval, will get to run around the beautiful dog park located on our corner. We especially love hiking in Palos Verdes nearby on weekends! If your pet is low energy we are more than happy to accommodate and keep their exercise light. When your dog is with us they will get 4 walks a day, three 30 minute walk and one night cap walk before bed.
