This was our first time using Rover and Ms. Rita was a great choice! She is kind, patient, and very good with juggling multiple pets. She sent pics and videos and made the whole process comfortable for me and my Zoey. Will definitely book again.

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.
