Pet care experience

When your dog stays with me they will get lots of attention. I love dogs, and Duncan is a very good host!! I'm a stay at home mom who will give them 24/7 supervision. I would walk your pet everyday, and keep there usual schedule going. My first priority would be to keep your pet safe. I would have daily contact with you with photos and texts. I have a 17 year old daughter who will also spoil your pet with love. We live by Freeman Park that is connected to the Minnetonka Trail which we use everyday. When your pet stays with us, we will treat it like family. I think of pet sitting like grand children. I give them lots of hugs and kisses, and send them home with love!!.

Thank you for taking such great care of Reggie while we were away for the weekend! We were immediately put at ease during our Meet & Greet when hearing about how much experience with all different types of dogs you have. It was also great to see first-hand that Reggie and your dog, Duncan, were compatible playmates! We also loved the updates & pictures throughout the weekend. Would definitely recommend Rita, and we’ll be back in touch with her before our next trip!

Rita was so wonderful for our dog Max. She gave us text updates and made sure to reassure us because it was our first time using Rover! I will definitely be contacting Rita for any future boarding for our little one.

Information Rita H. would like to know about your pet

I always like a meet and greet. I like to meet the dog and the owner before committing. I consider puppies to be 2 years and under, they will be charged my puppy rate. If your dog is a senior, and is in need of bathroom trips every 2 hours they are charged the puppy rate as well.

We use the Minnetonka Trail which is very close to my home. I have a concrete sidewalk in front of my house, which connects to the trail. It is very safe. Your dog will always be on a leash and under my supervision.
