Pet care experience

Experienced Loving Dog Care!

Hello! I have loved and taken care of dogs my whole life, from playful puppies to wise old adults. Through my years of experience I’ve developed a keen understanding of their behaviors and sense their needs. I have also worked and volunteered at fundraising events for Canine Companions, a national non-profit organization that provides highly trained service dogs to people with disabilities. Not so long ago my precious companion of 15 years, a Wheaten Terrier passed away, so I have a big place in my heart and home to love and care for your dog.

I’ve known Rita T for almost 20 years. She’s extremely professional, responsible and caring . She adored Countess, her sweet dog , always demonstrating enormous love and compassion for Countess and all animals. I STRONGLY recommend her to everyone in the area looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to walk or care for their fur babies.

I know Rita for many years, she loves dogs. She had a dog named Countess who meant the world to her. I recommend Rita as an excellent and loving pet sitter.

For any pet family that needs to find a responsable, loving pet caregiver for their canine or feline, Rita T is a gem! She is an intuitive that observes and sees the needs of the animal and can quickly devise solutions for any situation for care. I have seen her interact with animals for over 35 years and her passion for their care and well being is one of her most remarkable qualities as a human being. Rita T is ethical, empathetic and energetic. I recommend her for the Rover community with no reservations.

My dogs Love Rita. They get so excited when they see her car pull up and they are glued to her until it's time for her to say good-bye.. They know that the feelings are mutual.
