Safety, trust & environment

I understand it can be nerve racking trusting someone with your pet, but I am extremely communicative and will keep you updated as frequently as you wish. I have pet sat for multiple families who have always returned to tidy homes and happy pets. As someone who has had the privilege of loving many animals, big and small (snakes, lizards, geckos, cat, hamsters), I understand the importance of your pet.

Information Rita P. would like to know about your pet

Please make sure to specify if your dog is high energy and/or needs more mental stimulation; I am happy to go above and beyond for them!

A typical day

I love taking dogs on a day out whether it’s to the park or a long walk on a trail! If your dog is more laid back I would love to have a chill day in with them, or take them somewhere they can sunbathe!

Pet care experience

I have experience administering all kinds of medication to all ages of dogs. I love meeting your older dogs and have experience helping them navigate stairs and the home if necessary. I am patient and if your dog needs extra accommodation I am happy to provide assistance.

Rita is an extremely trustworthy, reliable and kind-hearted person who is great with animals. She has volunteered at two different animal shelters for three years and has around 30 hours experience at each. This experience means Rita has prior knowledge of how to care for animals, making her a perfect person to care for your pets. Rita also voluntarily gives up her time to walk local dogs as part of the University of Exeter's Volunteer Dog Walking scheme. This shows Rita's love for pets and also demonstrates her responsibility and experience to care for other people's pets.
