Pet care experience

Excited to meet your best friend!

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.

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.

Rita was so good to our puppy! She took Ruby for a walk and handled her high energy expertly. She is extremely responsible, making sure all directions were followed. Rita was a past student of mine, and besides being extremely bright, she has a sunny love of all animals that is obvious in the way she cares for Ruby. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter with no reservations. I am sad that she will be heading back to college soon, but I know Ruby has a new friend for the future.

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.
