Pet Boarding Rittman

“We use Pat's sitting services exclusively several times a year. Our little dog is very comfortable with her and her gang of small dogs. Our dog has become best friends with one of them and they pal aroumd together the whole time. Pat sits one pet family at a time and gives your pet her undivided attention during their stay. Pat is very good about providing frequent updates that include pictures. The whole experience is worry free. Thanks!”

About: I love any type of animal and will provide it with the best care possible. We would go on long walks and play all day! Big, small, medium you name it I will love your dog or cat! I have been around dogs my whole life and would love to care for yours. I am currently a nurse in the area and use Rover when I am away at work so I would love to give back to the community and watch other pups while you are away! I know how difficult it is to find a trustworthy and reliable sitter and always want to treat your pups like my own! I will make sure to treat your home and pet with respect and follow all instructions left to properly care for your fur baby and make sure they get everything they need!

“Nali loved her stay! We loved all the photos and updates. Nali loved having a friend to play with. : ) I hope we get another opportunity to visit again!”

About: For the past four years, I’ve been actively involved in running a busy in-home dog boarding and daycare business through Rover. While my former partner handled most of the client communication and scheduling, I was heavily involved in the day-to-day care of the dogs and was responsible for making sure they were safe, happy, exercised, and well cared for throughout their stay. I regularly cared for multiple dogs at a time, including dogs staying with us 24/7. My responsibilities included taking dogs outside every 1–2 hours, supervising playtime and group interactions, providing exercise and enrichment, cleaning up after them, and paying close attention to their individual personalities and behaviors. Over the years, I’ve learned a great deal about dog behavior and how to safely manage different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. I became comfortable introducing dogs to one another, supervising group play, recognizing when dogs needed space or a break, and making sure every dog was comfortable in the environment. I also handled a large part of the cleaning and daily upkeep, including deep-cleaning the dog areas, washing food and water bowls, maintaining a clean environment, and making sure the dogs always had a safe and comfortable place to stay. One of my favorite parts of caring for dogs is making sure they have a great experience while their owners are away. I love playing with them, giving them attention, taking them outside, and getting great pictures and updates for their owners so they can see how much fun their dog is having. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and after four years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare environment, I’m excited to continue doing what I love and provide that same level of care to Rover clients and their pets. This is what I do and have done for a living for the last 4 years, prior to this I was working with my former partner under her rover account, plenty of play time for your pups! I can handle any dog of any temperament or behavioral issues that may require additional safety precautions. I go outside with the dogs in my care ever 1-2 hours, whether it be a group play session or 1 on 1 play. I tailor to every dogs needs.

“My dog immediately connected with Victoria and her son. He seemed to have fun and by the time he was home he was tired out. Definitely my new permanent dog sitter.”

“George was great! Awesome fenced in back yard, gave our pups lots of love and good communication. I would absolutely ask him to watch our dogs again.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for neighbors and family friends for 10 years. I love taking dogs for walks and even to the dog beach if possible. I have a 10 year old beagle/bulldog mix and also a 7 year old miniature terrier. I have done everything for dogs from, changing doggy diapers, cleaning any house accidents, giving them medication, laying with them if they can't fall asleep, running with them and even giving them a bath. I give lots of love and attention to any dog that I meet. Any dog that is put into my hands will have the greatest time and will be taken care of. I am very easygoing and will do anything to make sure your dog is safe. If scheduling for the weekend, I am available anytime of the day as long as given a heads up. Comfortable staying as long as necessary to accommodate your pet and make them feel safe and loved. If having the privilege to stay at a customers home or having the pet stay ay my own home, they will be taken care of the way you would take care of them. Want them to feel like nothing has changed and they are with someone that cares for them.

About: I have helped take care of friends' and neighbors' dogs/ pets for several years. I am very responsible and dependable. My husband and I have previously fostered dogs as well. I am currently working full time but have some time on the weekends to love on pets! My (human) girls would also love to help your fur babies play until they're worn out! We have a large yard that would provide plenty of room to run around. We do not have a fence so we would not be able to safely care for a dog that would take off.

“Christine conducted a meet and greet with us before we confirmed the stay. She is very attentive and my Louie looked so happy in the pictures. I will be booking again”

“Sam had a great weekend with Nan and her husband. He had a lot of outdoor time on the beautiful weekend, play time, and cuddle time. She sent many pictures showing how his weekend was going. I definitely recommend having Nan board your dog and would be happy to have Nan watch Sam again.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and it’s been a long one!! I’ve also had cats! I believe any animal is a family member and I also believe they understand us as their ‘humans’. I will take care of your animals as my own, which is spoiled! Currently I work part time and have time to dedicate to your pets. I will have more time soon as I’m going to retire!! I will provide quality care and time to your pet(s). I will watch and care for your pet as my own. I have one dog, poodle mix and she is very spoiled! Your pet will live like her with walks, treats, sleeping on the bed, laying on the couches, and getting tons of pets!!

“This is the 2nd time we’ve used Nicole and she is really fantastic. Our little guy loves it there playing with her other 2 dogs. We will definitely use her again.”

“Samantha is so kind and good with our dog. We really appreciate the care she gave our dog and the communication was great. Would definitely recommend her.”

About: I got my first puppy for my 10th birthday. She was entirely my responsibility. I fed, bathed, and trained her. She was a huge white shepherd and the sweetest thing on paws I still miss her. Since then, I’ve had many, many dogs and cats through the years. I’ve been through dog training school several times. I currently have three full-sized Goldendoodles who are reasonably well trained, although they are still way too friendly. I’m retired and available about any day except Sunday afternoons: noon church service. I get my groceries delivered, so I’m here most of the time. I try to walk one of mine every day, weather permitting. I would walk your pup before I walk mine. I also have a fenced-in back yard where the dog run and play. My house is dog friendly, and I’m not overly concerned with dirt. I also have the world’s best vacuum cleaner to deal with it and all the hair. lol I have a large fenced-in back yard with river rock instead of grass, so mud is not a problem. My three friendly Doodles love racing around, especially in the snow, and they would love to add your dog to the fun. At the end of the day, we all go upstairs and sleep in my room with a baby-gate blocking the door, so there is no house roaming overnight. I also have room for crates if that’s what your dog needs to feel comfortable. I have one cat who is comfortable around dogs and knows where to hide if necessary. Please have your dog be familiar with cats or at least won’t attack her if she tries to make friends. I can accommodate special diets and know how to use a pill gun for medications.

“Natasha was so caring and attentive to our (spoiled and set in his ways) dog who was homesick the first couple of nights. Once he settled in he had so much fun running free and playing in the big fenced yard all day.”
