My experience

7 years

I have had the pleasure of caring for pets in my community for more than 7 years. Much of my experience has been caring for dogs, although I love cats as well! I'm an active person and will make sure your pets get out for lots of walks

Rita was a great house and pet sitter in all respects. She seemed to genuinely love my pets and took great care of them. The house doesn't even look lived in

Rita Mary did a great job watching my cat, Lola! She was happy when I returned and my place was clean.

Rita has always been my go to person for taking care of my dog. My house is always well taken care of and most importantly I never worry about my dog when she is in Rita's care. Rita is incredibly organized and meticulous with the schedule and medical needs your pet may have. She is great at communicating if she has a question - She is so loving with your animals there is no doubt they are in the greatest care and receive all the love and attention they could possible want when you are away.
