Pet care experience

Holistic health care provider recently moved to St. Thomas. Whether you need dog boarding, pet sitting or day care, I will treat your pets like family. Experienced and comfortable with raw and cooked food diets, I am an animal lover. I have experience caring for cats and dogs. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. I only pet-sit one family of dogs at a time so that they are we well looked after. I prefer working with smaller dogs but happy to make exceptions depending on the pets needs. I am an energetic person with a flexible schedule and look forward to meeting your pet. Dog walking and home visits available if in walking distance to my home. Energy work is also available for your pets including homeopathy, Reiki, dowsing, cranial sacral and acupressure. Set up a meet and greet with me today. * No experience with dogs in heat. * additional charge for puppies may apply depending on whether they are potty trained, teething etc.

Rita took very good care of my dogs and kept me updated about their wellbeing. Will be using her services again without hesitation.

This was my first time leaning my dogs with Rita for the day. She was very caring and patient with them and also sent me their pictures and a video which put me at ease. Thanks again Rita!

Rita, I could not have asked for a better sitter for Kobe. He took to you immediately, which is rare as he is a highly anxious dog and has separation anxiety. Your house steps are the only ones he will willingly climb. Thank you for the extra care you administered when he got sick. Daisy

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.
