When I contacted Rita about watching my dogs I told her in the message they have never been in a kennel. When I get to her house I reiterate they’ve never been in a kennel. They’re family house / furniture dogs and very chill most of the time. No other Rover sitter has ever had an issue. She assured me she could handle it and that the dogs would be in the house and she’d keep her dog separate but would give mine lots of love. I also told her in text and in person the male husky is really weird around feeding time and he may not even eat. He’s also weird I fed them far apart because he’ll bark and seen mad. They aren’t “TikTok make you famous” huskies. They’re lazy, quiet (99% off the time), and just love bugs- until Max has food. I did my best to over communicate what my fur babies are used to because it’s important with separation anxiety I find the right care taker. She also didn’t not have “must be kennel” trained in her profile. I had zero clue her garage was a kennel farm until i arrived to pick them up. She really keeps dogs in the kennel at night? These are my babies - my family. And, when I showed up to get my babies they were in kennels. Rita actually said she didn’t think she was a good fit for Max because of how he acts at feeding time. You think? I didn’t lie, i didn’t withhold anything, I was very honest and open. FEED him separately away from others. ? I guess Max pooping as soon as he walked in her door, which was sooo out of character for him, should have been a sign to what he thought. He knew. The amount I paid too have the opposite care of what was communicated between us is insane. They have been away from when I travel for work for a week at a time. I’ve never ever had any issues. These two babies were so weird for 3 days after I picked them up. It took me two months to write this because of how devastating the experience was. I won’t/ can’t go back. Max was beyond traumatized and as Rita said, he’s not a fit. She should have been honest with me so I could have found them a better option. But it came down to her taking an extraordinary amount of money and doing the opposite of what she said she would do.

Rita was absolutely wonderful. Max had a great time. She has a large fenced in area for the dogs to roam and run. She stays in contact with you by sharing pictures and messages. I will definitely be using Rita again.
