Very flexible schedule/availability

Pet care experience

Hii!! My name is Rita and I have over 15 years of experience with dog sitting and walking. I am a pediatric nurse but in my spare time I love to dog sit / walk for families. I’ve owned and fostered dogs and cats of different ages from puppies to seniors. I love them all! My schedule is very flexible and I always make myself available for my clients. :) I work 3 nights a week as a nurse. However, my fiancé and I work opposite schedules so someone will always be home to take care of the dogs. In the past ive been able to take on last minute bookings so I can always make it work :) Lastly, we have a dog of our own. He is a husky mix. EXTREMELY friendly and playful and loves all doggos :)

Very caring and engaged sitter. Rita made herself available and was flexible in scheduling. I would definitely use her again.

Rita was caring for our dog for many years. She is loving and caring and our dog just loves her. She plays with her and is completely reliable. To this day, I would love to have Rita care for our dog. But she has moved to another state. It's been very difficult to find someone like her. Good luck in your new adventure and your animal will love Rita.
