Retired dog lover, welcoming yours!

Pet care experience

Although I am new to Rover, I am not new to caring for dogs. I have fostered for GRRA for the past three years and have taken in 18 fosters. I am currently still a volunteer for them and Inam in the process of being certified to volunteer with Canuine Assistance. I have two dogs of my own and dog sit for several of my previous fosters and friends. I have recently retired and this gives me the opportunity to spend more quality time with the dogs. My dogs love the chance to play with other dogs. Currently I walk , hike, dock dive and some agility work with my dogs. I spend a lot of my tme with my dogs and will give your fur baby equal time and attention. Since I am retired I am home pretty much all day, most days, therefore your dog would not be crated like they would in a kennel. I take my dogs out several times a day. I don't leave them outside unattended. I try to go on daily walks and toss the ball around. Of course there is always plenty of cuddle time. i have administered medications and have attended first aid training a few years ago.

My experience with Rita was great from the beginning when she was bombarded by my fur kids and my kids. Sending pictures when she was there gave me a piece mind being so far away. I would use her again and recommend her ?

Rita was really great with my rescue huskies. They love her and they are very cautious about who they approach and befriend. She is completely reliable and very trustworthy. She took the time to update me during her visits and sent photos of my babies, which was very comforting. Other than doggie day care once in a while, I've never and would never just leave them in the care of someone I didn't trust. I feel completely secure with Rita, and you will too. Thanks so much Rita! You are an angel. Sid and Hud also send their gratitude.

Information Rita P. would like to know about your pet

First and for most they would have to get along with other dogs, as I have two of my own. As far as walking or watching your dog I don't have any breed preference. My dogs are a Golden Retriever and a rescue that is a mix breed.

A typical day

We take daily walks. Of course we have to put in some time daily fetching the ball. I have a pool if your dog likes to swim. There is also plenty of time for me to love on your dog as I do my own.
