Experienced Loving Dog Care!

Pet care experience

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.
