Loving home, stress free dog sitter.

Pet care experience

Hey dog lovers! I've been practically pawed-sitively my whole life by amazing dogs. Grew up with a loyal German Shepherd, and later on rescued a goofy Lab. From tiny pups to giant doggos, I've walked and played with them all.

Really pleased with Sunny's recent stay with Rita 🤓❣️🐶 It was her 1st stay away from home so I was a bit nervous about leaving her She kept me updated daily with how she was doing which was lovely. I would highly recommend 🥇❣️🐶

Absolutely pleased with how Rita cared for Bodhi. Very anxious as first time I've left bodhi with someone outside the family. Great communication, and clearly has had a lot of experience with dogs. Her confidence and regular updates really helped me to enjoy my break, and I'm sure if Bodhi could speak he would say he had an amazing stay with Rita. Wouldn't hesitate to use her services again.

Information Rita K. would like to know about your pet

To ensure your pup has a good time, tell me a bit about their personality! Are they a social butterfly who thrives on doggy playdates, or a solo adventurer who prefers peaceful walks? Knowing their likes and dislikes allows me to tailor the experience to minimize stress and maximize fun.

A typical day

Activities Tailored to Your Pup: Our outings can be adjusted based on the weather and your dog's preferences. Here are some options: Calm Canal Walks: Scenic canal paths are perfect for a leisurely stroll, allowing your pup to sniff and explore in a peaceful environment. Woodland Adventures (Weather Permitting): If the weather cooperates, we can head to the woods for a more adventurous walk. This is a great option for energetic dogs who enjoy fetching sticks or chasing balls. Basic Training Integration: Looking to brush up on your dog's obedience? I'm happy to incorporate basic command practice during our walks, helping them learn in a fun and positive way. (Note: This would be for basic commands, not extensive training).

I do have a full time job with few days a week working from home so if you dog doesn't mind staying on his/her own for few hours at a time, then you can count on me. We lost our furry soulmate (a two-year-old soldier, no less!) to a medical condition a while back, and it left us heartbroken. We used Rover back then, and it was amazing. Now, we want to be that same experience for another pup! They'll feel like they're on vacay while their humans are busy, and you can rest assured they're getting all the love and zoomies they deserve.
