Ratings and reviews
Rita was amazing with our puppy. She took her out on walks and made sure she was well taken care of.
Rita was absolutely wonderful with our Goldie. She gave her so much love, attention, and special care while we were away, and it meant the world to us. Goldie clearly adored her, and knowing she was so happy and well cared for gave us complete peace of mind for 17 days! We would trust Rita again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter. Thank you, Rita! We gave Rita a tip when we got home. Ellen & Les L.
We had a fantastic experience with Rita! She is responsible and intuitive and cared for our dogs like they were her own. Our dogs can be nervous with new people, but Rita was incredibly patient, kind and playful with them. I highly recommend Rita!
Rita did a great job. Clearly she loves taking care of Iris and Iris responds to her well. I recommend her heartily.
Rita is great - able to make sure Arran is safe and secure - even when he tries to chase squirrels :)
Rita watched our puppy & our house for the week while we were on vacation and was fantastic! We have a 10 month-old golden retriever puppy who can be a lot of work, but to Rita it didn't matter, they became instant best friends and he had so much fun with her. She sent us lots of updates & cute photos, which helped because we missed our boy so much. She also took excellent care of our house and even did a thorough cleaning before we got home which was so appreciated.

You have booked more than a month in advance. Then I need at least 3 weeks notice of any cancellation.
