About Rita
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello furbaby parents!! I am a compassionate animal lover who has had pets since I was born and taken care of horses, cats and dogs for over 10 years. I work at GSVS, an emergency and specialty animal hospital, where in my role as client service representative I ensure furbaby parents feel supported and comforted during difficult times. I have a deep understanding of animal behavior, having handled dogs and cats of different temperaments through my hospital work and shelter volunteer experience. My pet care skills include play engagement, creating a safe and comfortable environment where personalities shine, and understanding and respecting pet boundaries. I can administer medications by injection as well as orally. I am aware of any changes in behavior or signs/ symptoms that may be causing discomfort for your pet from my experience working at two animal hospitals. Let me know what your furbaby needs and I will provide them with the very best care!
Most recent review
Rita is a true animal lover. I’ve know her for over 10 years and I can honestly say she is is one of the most conscientious people I know. Rita has stayed in our home and is delight to be around. Rita would be my first choice for pet sitting, dog walking or any other job that requires trust and caring. She’s the best!
