We had a great experience with dog boarding! My dog stayed for three days, and I was very pleased with the care and communication. Ms. Rita was very kind and welcoming, and she made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I also loved receiving lots of videos and pictures throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind and showed that my dog was happy and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend this boarding service to others and would use her again in the future!

Rita provides a pet sitting service that is dependable, accommodating, and located in a clean, secure and very pleasant home environment. Our fur baby, Shasha, loves her, and we will be repeat customers!

We are new to the area and have been so worried about finding a perfect sitter for our pups, especially because one has special needs. We are so very grateful to have found Miss Rita, the dogs loved staying with her, and we could tell that they were so happy and comfortable. Thank you so much!!! Pita and Squints love you!!
