Experienced Pet Care Giver

Erfahrung in der Haustierbetreuung

I love people and their pets! Most of my professional life has been spent in the people-helping field, and I enjoy sharing my love of animals with those I help. I am very proud to have introduced therapy dogs and equine-facilitated therapy to crime survivors in Alachua County, FL! In my free time, I've fostered over 50 dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, and even a few rabbits for various local rescues. My specialty has been helping anxious dogs learn to trust people. Positive reinforcement is my go-to method of behavior modification, and I can continue your training regimen with your fur babies while you are out of town. I can provide medications and even farm-sit if you need! I've owned my own horse and have cared for goats, chickens, pot-bellied pigs, and burros. I work full-time in York, PA, so I limit the area where I provide services between York and New Oxford. I stop directly after work (6 pm is quitting time) back at your house, then return to spend the night after feeding my own dog. I provide routine meal times, potty breaks, litter clean-up, medications as needed, treats as positive reinforcement, play time, cuddles, walks and other exercise, and if your pets are used to sleeping in your bed, they are welcome to do the same with me! I do all of this in your home so your best bud doesn't have to stress about too many changes while they are missing you. While Rover's pricing is set up on a per dog fee schedule, I cap charges at $80 per night and $40 per drop in or walk, regardless of the number of pets in your household. In the Rover app, I must modify your booking to be able to do that.

Rita was wonderful! I’m always nervous when we have to find someone new to watch our pups, but Rita quickly put me at ease. From setting up the meet and greet to even checking to make sure we made it home ok, Rita was communicative throughout the whole time. She asked us lots of questions about our pups to get to know them and their routines. She provided us with photos and videos while we were away too. Definitely will see if she’s available the next time we need someone!

Rita was so easy to work with, very flexible. She suggested a meet and greet session and asked all the appropriate questions. She was very good at figuring out how to best relate with my older cat, worked to give him the most appropriate care, and reassured him while I was gone. Rita was in regular contact with me, and put my mind at ease so I could enjoy the trip for my grandson's graduation.

Rita is extraordinary. She was so patient with our dogs, and went above and beyond. Rita sent photos and updates, she asked questions that confirmed she was providing unbelievable care to our pets. When we arrived home, our house was spotless and Rita even surprised us by shoveling our driveway. We never expected to find such a caring sitter and we hope that Rita is available for us in the future! I could not think of a way someone could be disappointed with having Rita care for their pets! We will absolutely be requesting again!!

Rita was a great find, truly attentive to our elder cat, Paolo, and someone who put my mind at ease from the very beginning. Rita is a great communicator. She sent updates throughout my time away and multiple pictures. Since this was a first time being with Rita, Paolo remained somewhat distant unless he had a request or complaint. But Rita was able to interpret all and respond. Thank you, Rita.

I adhere carefully to client directions about medication, supervision, feeding, and exercise. I want dogs to keep their usual routine as much as possible, and owners to rest assured their treasured pets are cared for as they would. I am a background -checked government employee that prides myself on being dependable and trustworthy. I discuss my scheduling limitations with owners to ensure they are getting a sitter who is the best fit for their pets.

Informationen, die Rita L. gerne über dein Haustier wissen möchte

I ask about resource-guarding in multiple dog households, interactions with other pets, mealtime routines and eating locations, current training projects, crating routines, areas of the house to pay special attention to in regards to dog-proofing, and behaviors of concern to watch for. And of course, favorite pastimes and treats!

Ein typischer Tag

I'll ask your dog to practice their obedience, or work on training a new command or trick. To keep a familiar routine, I'll ask you for dog-walking routes. It's their walk, so I let pups stop and sniff as they please! I'm always up for a game of fetch or tug-of-war, and I love using puzzle toys and scent work to get the brain cells turning!
