Rita can care for

Cats

Availability

I work two part-time jobs, so I'll potentially be gone for up to 6 hours during the weekdays and 8+ hours on weekends. I am more than willing to get up early to feed your pets and walk your dog before I leave for my shifts, and then walk them as soon as I get home. For scheduling, I ask for at least 3 days' notice so I can plan ahead and give your pet the time and care they deserve. I’m available for drop-ins, overnights, and extended stays.

Safety, trust & environment

I always want your pets and your home to feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I stick closely to your pet’s routine and needs, and I’m happy to help with things like watering plants, bringing in mail, or keeping an eye on the house. You can count on me to treat your space with the same respect and attention I give your pets.

Information Rita W. would like to know about your pet

To give your pet the best care, it helps me to know: - Meal times and any special food prep - Medication details: what they take, when, and how they like it - Favorite toys, walking routes, or activities - Any quirks, triggers, or behaviors to keep in mind - House preferences you’d like me to follow

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I try to match their energy and routine. For some, that might mean a long neighborhood walk full of sniff breaks, a quiet day with lots of cuddles, or a hike in the woods if that’s their thing. I emphasize enrichment in my pet care, making sure they always feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away.

Pet care experience

ONLY ACCEPTING CAT CARE AND REBOOKING REQUESTS RIGHT NOW. Hi! I’m a recent college student who’s moved back home to the PNW. I’ve been caring for pets for over 17 years and have experience ranging from sassy kitties who run strict routines to high energy puppies to older dogs who need medication and a slower pace. I grew up with dogs and loved taking them on hikes, paddle boarding, and other outdoor adventures, and I bring that same love and attention to every animal I care for. Thank you for considering me to look after your beloved pets, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. <3

Rita did a great job staying at our house and taking care of our two kitties. She sent pics that assured us our babies felt very comfortable with her, I don't think they missed us at all :) We would not hesitate to have Rita stay again.
