Happy dog sitter

I was a Doberman breeder and had 2 senior Doberman rescues, I dog sit for a Great Dane, Yorkie, pitbull,bulldog, chihuahua, sheepdog german shepherd. I also worked for Show handlers to get the dogs calm and ready for the show ring and walk the dogs. Since I am retired and I love dogs there are days that are open and I have plenty of time to take care of other dogs I have a big fenced backyard and a lot of room for dogs to play or swim since I have a swimming pool small or big. I am retired and have time to take care and walk the dogs or play in the backyard with them my yard is big to throw a ball for them to catch when they are in the back I always keep an eye on the dogs or I am around the pool area incase they want to swim.

Rita is amazing with our dogs. We have three catahoula leopard dogs who have a pack mentality. She understands this and is the one person who gives us peace of mind that our dogs are in good hands. She even gave the dogs extra padding in their crate to keep them comfy. Rita sent me with photos and kept me updated so our family could enjoy a vacation together. We truly appreciate Rita!

Rita did a great job with Louie! He’s very timid and she gave him the time for him to get to know her and the other dogs. She kept us informed of how he was doing with photos and videos. The next morning he was playing with the other dogs and was very happy. I highly recommend her.

Rita was great. She kept me updated the entire time on how my puppy was doing and helped me be at ease with leaving my puppy. I will definitely leave my puppy with her again. I highly recommend Rita's service.
