Information Rita W. would like to know about your pet

For the safety of other dogs and cats, they cannot be violent and/or unruly. To get to know your pet better, I will ask their breed(s), medical, feeding, training, and social background. It's very important to listen to the parent's needs.

A typical day

During the day we are socializing, encouraging old and new commands while roaming in an acre of a fenced in yard next to a farm, Drop-In Care: Includes, but not limited to, cat litter removal, pet bowl cleaning and refilling, cleaning surrounding areas around litter boxes and feeding areas, vacuuming if needed, meds given if applicable, videos and photos during the visits and a final written report.

Pet care experience

I believe taking care of your fur baby is MUCH more than" I love dogs", it's understanding the breed (s) the dog and the parent's needs. My goal is to put you and your pet, at ease. I've worked with an animal rescue organization for four years and received the needed dog training. I find great joy getting to know your pet and discovering their individual needs and strengths.

Rita was professional, communicative, and clearly knows what she's doing. Most importantly she LOVES Dogs and knows how to care for them. She has an amazing space for them to run, sniff, play, and lay in her huge yard. She was so amazing to work with as well and accommodating of my crazy travel schedule. I'm super grateful I met her and so was my boy Axel. I can tell he had a blast with Rita and probably wishes he could go back every week.

Rita is an amazing dog sitter. She gave my dog so much love and attention. I was sent updates, photos, and videos of my puppy. When you leave your baby with Rita, they will be safe and happy. I 100% recommend booking with Rita.

Rita was great! Our pups had never boarded before, and I was nervous. Rita made the process so easy! She sent tons of updates while we were gone. The pups came home happy and tired! 😊

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
