About Rita P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a small backyard in my apartment and understand the importance of adequate exercise for dogs and mental enrichment . I’ll prioritize getting their needs taken care of . I aim to be a great communicator because I know first hand how important the care of your pet is. Therefore timely and thorough communication mean a lot to me so I try to do the same. Safety and happiness of the pet are always most important.
Information Rita P. would like to know about your pet
Let me know of any health issues, allergies, any behavioral particularities or sensitivities and things that make them happy so that I can be sure to be mindful of them for both safety and happiness. Please don’t hesitate to be transparent about any issues so we can work together accordingly .
A typical day
I will first ask permission of the pet parent but otherwise would be happy to help cater to the dogs needs be it physical activities like long walks/hikes/jogs or mental enrichment, or just cuddling or even just simply watching them in their own space since every dog’s needs are different . Dogs, like humans, all have their own personalities and I can adapt to calm, shy, older, or high energy dogs well.

Pet care experience
Hi! Thanks for checking my profile! I have taken care of dogs since I was young with my own family dog and then again as an adult having adopted my own rescue whom I learned to navigate various challenges with through patience and dedication to learning more about dogs and training together. I also volunteer with shelter dogs where I work with dogs of all breeds, sizes and behaviors and have passed clearance to work with more challenging ones. I adopted my rescue several years ago and have helped her gain confidence in herself and me as her guardian . She is my inspiration to give dogs love and care. What is most important to me is the safety and happiness of your pet. I always think of safety first both in and out of the house. I want to treat your pet with all the love and care they deserve and have fun with them too-with whatever that means to thrm. I love to leave pets feeling confident and happy from the start to finish of their time with me . Good communication with your pet and you is important to me as well!
Reviews
Rita is extremely dependable and truly passionate about caring for the pups. She interacts very well with our dogs and shows great compassion. Rita communicates regularly, providing plenty of photos and videos during her visits, and completes the Rover report card thoroughly. Whenever we book her for pet services, we feel confident that our dogs are in caring and capable hands. Highly reocmmmend.
It is always a pleasure having Rita take care of my two girls! I have a 13 and 16 year old and I appreciate how gentle and patient Rita is with them. She goes above and beyond every time. Will definitely book again. 🙂
Rita did such a great job with my anxious pup, Zero. Zero warmed up to her quickly and appeared very comfortable by her presence. Zero is usually nervous around unfamiliar people but Rita had no problem driving Zero to the park and getting settled in her car seat. Thank you Rita! We are excited to book with you again😊
Felt so at ease having Rita take care of Ziggy while I was out of town. Gave great updates and was able to take care of everything I asked. She was amazing!
