Highlights
Pet care experience
I have time for your pet <3
I’ve taken care of everything from snakes to sugar gliders! I have taught everything from basic puppy classes and basic obedience courses to obstacle and sniff work games. I have had several working dog breeds, red heelers, and truly enjoy the company of a four legged companion! Almost nothing is too much to ask for when it comes to your pets!

Ratings and reviews
I had such a great experience with Rita! I really loved her approach during the meet and greet. She was very thoughtful about introducing the dogs in a strategic, gradual way to make the interaction as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I also loved that she had a treat pouch ready and incorporated training and positive reinforcement right from the start…it immediately made me feel like my dog was in knowledgeable and caring hands. Rita was patient, attentive, and clearly understands dog behavior. Her dog, Hash, is also incredibly sweet! I would absolutely recommend Rita’s dog-sitting services and would feel very comfortable trusting her with my pup. 🐾❤️

I am so grateful for Rita. I have a reactive Pitt who was rescued from severe neglect at about 1 year old. I am very cautious about who I leave him with and I have to say I trust Rita implicitly with my dogs. Firstly they love her, she spends actual time with them and I know she can handle my Bossko no problem. Rita has an understanding of dogs and their behavior/needs that has been literally life saving for my dog. That probably sounds dramatic but we were having some big behavioral issues surrounding a move and I was starting to worry about safety but also refused to give up on my dog. Rita offered some insight as to what he might be needing from me and offered some ideas on a routine and safety measures I could implement to help him (things that are actually sustainable in my busy life as a single mom) and it has been a game changer! I can see the difference in his demeanor, in his recovery from stressful events, and he's so much more happy and fulfilled. My whole house is so much more calm and settled and I get to give him a happier life. Rita's understanding and compassionate care for dogs is unmatched, and I'm a better dog mom as a result.

Once again Rita was a perfect fit while we were away. She takes excellent care of our furbabes while we are away, and sending pictures throughout the stay helps ease our guilt of having to leave them behind. Rita is our first choice when looking at sitter availability.


Rita just finished up her 2nd stay with our furbabes and everything was great. She is timely, communicates throughout the stay and even send pics which we, and our daughter, loves! Can’t wait to use her services again as I know our furbabies are well cared for while we are away.


Rita was great, would recommend!

Rita is ahh-mazing! She was responsive, friendly, professional, and patient with Bailey. She kept us updated about Bailey each day we were away, and ensured we were comfortable during the whole transaction. She also kept the place safe, neat, and clean. We will definitely book again soon!

Schedule
I am a retired veteran and enjoy spending my time with my own dog throughout the day. Most of my days are spent around my dog, Hashbrown! Morning walks before it gets too hot. Afternoons in the backyard watching the squirrels. We would love some company

Safety, trust & environment
I’m here to provide them company while you are gone! So please feel free to leave me a schedule or notes on what your pup is used to. How they eat, how and where they sleep, treats, playtime, or any info you want me to have to make your pup most comfortable, I am most likely willing to accommodate.
