Dependable, Professional & Caring.

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.

I am thrilled that I found Rita! I've only left my dog with family members since 2020, and I was nervous to leave her. I travel often, and finding the right care has been challenging. I have a wonderful dog, but being a herd dog, she can be challenging. Rita handled her perfectly. She sent pictures and videos, and let me know how my girl was doing. Kismet was clearly relaxed and comfortable, which makes my trips so much easier!

She did an amazing job mops was very excited whenever we came back and seemed super happy! I was in an area with no cell phone service, but she still sent me photos and updates and it made me so happy to see those whenever I got out! She was very nice and accommodating, I would definitely suggest!

Rita was amazing! She was thorough and made sure to ask any and everything we could tell her about our pups and their daily habits. I’ve also never had anyone who provided more updates than her. Made our time away so much more enjoyable receiving the constant updates on how well our pups were doing. They came home happy and exhausted from all the excitement. Will definitely be booking again!

This was the first time I’ve left my dogs with a sitter and I’m glad it was Rita! She constantly kept me updated with pictures and how they were doing, and they even came home tired! Definitely will be using her again!!
