Availability
I am flexible and able to provide pet care throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I am also happy to care for both cats and dogs and can adapt to different routines depending on each pet’s individual needs. I am available for dog walking and drop-in visits during the day, and I am also open to discussing house sitting arrangements depending on each pet’s requirements and routine. I always aim to be reliable, responsive, and clear when arranging bookings.

Safety, trust & environment
I understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pet and entering your home. Your pet’s safety, wellbeing and routine are always my top priority. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding, routines, and any specific care requirements. I have been DBS checked, and I aim to provide a calm, reliable and respectful service at all times. During visits, I will provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy and well cared for. For safety, dogs are always walked on a lead unless the owner has specifically requested otherwise and provided clear recall instructions.
Information rita l. would like to know about your pet
To help me give the best possible care, it’s really useful to understand your pet’s personality and routines. For dogs, this includes how they respond to other dogs and people while out on walks. For cats, it helps to know how they feel about new visitors, handling, and any particular likes, dislikes, or routines
A typical day
Every pet has their own routine, personality and little quirks, and I enjoy taking the time to get to know them. Depending on their needs, that might mean walks and playtime, a favourite game, plenty of affection, or simply having someone calm and reliable around. My priority is to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for while maintaining the routine they know and enjoy. My goal is that both you and your pet can relax, knowing they are in kind and capable hands.

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Rita. My experience with animals began growing up on a farm, where caring for animals was part of everyday life. Since then, animals have always been a big part of my world. I’ve had both dogs and cats of my own, volunteered for several years with the Animal Welfare Trust in Watford, and cared for different dogs through BorrowMyDoggy. These experiences have helped me understand how unique every pet is. I’m calm, patient, and reliable, and I take time to get to know each pet so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I provide attentive care tailored to your pet’s routine and personality. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own, and I look forward to meeting you both.

Reviews
We were initially very worried about asking someone we didn’t know come into the house to take Jake for a walk. However we had nothing to worry about as Rita is a trustworthy and reliable person, whom we have been using for just over a now. He is a big dog and can be boystress so we are lucky Rita has the experience to walk a large dog, no problem.
Can't recommend Rita highly enough, she has been a real star. Milo is so excited to see her and loves going on adventures with her. Rita is very trustworthy and I dont know what I would do without her.
I’ve been using Rita for dog walking and pet sitting and couldn't be happier. She is incredibly reliable—always on time and keeps me updated with photos and notes. Her genuine care and calm temperament put my dogs at ease immediately, and I trust her completely with my home and pets. My cats love her and every time she looks after them, they are happy and settled. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional pet sitter/walker.
Rita has been invaluable as a house sitter for my cats keeping me updated daily with reports and videos We can not recommend her highly enough.Karen P.
