This was my first time boarding Benji. Ms Rita did an excellent job. She was very imfomative and took excellent care of him. I was so pleased that I am booking her for my next vacation coming up. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter for their fur baby.

Rita was absolutely wonderful with my fur baby while I was away on vacation! She made sure he got plenty of outdoor time, kept him on his regular eating schedule, and took him out to burn off energy. Best of all, she gave him tons of belly rubs and affection, so he felt completely loved and comfortable. It gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely book again!"

I am new to Rover and Rita was my first Rover sitter. She was amazing watching my two dachshunds for 24hr! I really appreciated: + her timely communication - logistics were straightforward and she had quick responses + the photo and video updates - perfect amount, not overwhelming just enough to put me at ease that they’re in good hands + my pups genuinely seemed to enjoy themselves – they were excited, but exhausted when they got home.

I cannot recommend Ms. Rita highly enough! She took exceptional care of my fur baby and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the start that she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. Ms. Rita was dependable, professional, and attentive, and her messages and photos reassured me that my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. When I returned, my dog was relaxed, healthy, and clearly loved. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate, I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Rita and will absolutely use her services again.

Ms. Rita did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Orbit! She made sure he was well cared for while I was away. I appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing Orbit was in such good hands. I would definitely book with Ms. Rita again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
