Information Rita M. would like to know about your pet

*POLICIES* Any meet & greet that does not turn into a booking will be charged a nominal fee*. Nominal fees may also apply to meet & greets and bookings outside of Mercer County NJ or Bucks County PA. If there were multiple meet & greets, you will be charged a nominal fee* for any subsequent. Cancellation policy: For any services booked more than 2 weeks in advance, should you cancel for any reason other than the health of you or your pet, you will be responsible for 50% of the visit along with the costs of meet & greets if you cancel anytime within 1 weeks of the booking date. You have booked more than a month in advance. Then I need at least 3 weeks notice of any cancellation. This is due to the fact that in the time we have been booked I could have had other opportunities for the dates in question. Payment can be arranged via Venmo, PayPal, or Rover plus the cost of fees. Any pet with a bite history or who is aggressive and tries to bite will be charged a nominal fee due to the extra liability. If you like what you’ve read, please send me a request, and let’s arrange a time to connect—I can’t wait to learn more about you and how I can help you and your furry, feathered, hairy, or scaley companion(s)! Looking forward to chatting with you soon! *nominal fee is the cost of a drop-in visit per pet

A typical day

To ensure the best possible care, I believe a Meet & Greet is crucial. This way, I can understand your needs and your furbaby's unique personality. Please note that I have a policy in place: there is a fee for any meet and greet that does not lead to a booking.

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.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
