Pet care experience

Reliable, Attentive & Fun-Loving

Hello my name is Rita and I have experience with caring for cats and dogs of all ages and types! I’ve grown up with a dog of my own and I love the lively energy and joy that comes with caring for our four-legged friends! I have experience with animals ranging from 1 years old to 14 years old, as well as experience caring for reactive dogs. Over the last 15 years I have periodically cared for acquaintances and friends pets as well as had multiple roommates with pets in our home. Whether you have a high energy border collie or a cuddly Bernese mountain dog, I am ready for it all! I believe in creating a positive, loving and stable space for your pets to provide them the utmost comfort. I am adaptive to the routine and needs of your pets to best reflect their normal care! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to inquire about myself and my services! I can't wait to meet you and your fur babies!!

Safety, trust & environment

While taking care of your companions I am attentive to their needs as I want to ensure a comfortable and stress-free environment!! This could look like providing extra or longer walks if they seem to have higher energy, giving extra attention and cuddles when missing their owners or watching their behavior to make sure they are feeling like themselves!

Rita was a wonderful dog sitter. She was very communicative, left our home in great condition, and was a true delight to work with. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her.

Rita was amazing with our adult cat while we were away! She was attentive to his needs & kept our house looking & smelling clean. I would definitely have her look after him again!
