Pet care experience

I love the 3 feral cats in my yard.

I adopted my Yorkie, Yogi. I loved him for 15 years. I helped him through deafness and blindness. It was so hard to let him go. I am patient with their special needs.

Ms. Rita took great care of our dog for 8 nights. She arranged a meet & greet prior to us leaving and kept us updated daily with multiple sets of pictures. Will definitely re-book with her!

Rita is an absolutely amazing cat sitter! She takes such wonderful care of my two kitties, Bear and Mimi, and always treats them like they’re her own. She empties their litter box daily, makes sure all of their needs are met, and gives them so much love, attention, and affection while I’m away.

I recently had my second booking with Ms. Rita as my cat sitter, and once again, she exceeded my expectations. Leaving my cat is always a challenging experience for me, but Ms. Rita makes it so much easier with her attentive and caring approach. She is fantastic with my cat, showing genuine affection and understanding of my pet's needs.

Ms. Rita was amazing! from our first initial meeting greet, she was very warm and welcoming, my dog met her and got very comfortable so to me that was a great sign. She kept him for four days, and I was given around the clock updates and pictures. She is so sweet. My dog was very comfortable and enjoying his stay being by Ms. Rita’s side.

Amazing experience! I received multiple daily updates with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my Hunni was well cared for and happy. Highly recommend Mrs. Rita!

Schedule

I am retired. Last year I volunteered at the PG County Animal Services Division. I walked all size dogs, loved on the cats and bunnies, cleaned cages and any other services needed. I book all of my services only for 2 days or more.
