About
It's important to have someone you can trust. I am trustworthy, honest and reliable. When I give my word, it's a done deal! Communication is so important. I love communicating with my customers when away about how their "babies" are doing. Also texting pictures of them when they miss them too much! Getting outside and walking dogs are a true joy. They love it, and I also benefit. Also I love sweet affectionate cats.It's a pleasure to take care of and cuddle them! I also enjoy caring for sweet birds. They are a delight!! *Because of COVID 19 the use of masks when visiting for a meet and greet is mandatory. I value your life and my own. Please have your pets cleaned for me for overnight stays. Much appreciated! Let's stay safe and create an environment that is good for all. Thank you kindly, Rita Inserra

Hired on Thumbtack

While I was out of town, I felt more confident, knowing that Rita would be coming to check on the cats every day. She let me know each time she came how the cats were doing.

Hired on Thumbtack

Rita took care of our sweet little dog, Oliver, on very short notice while we were recently out of the country for a week. I found her on Thumbtack and we met just a few days before we left. She was very responsive, pleasant and responsible. Our little guy became anemic with a blood disorder that he has only a couple of days before we left and he needed medication twice a day. Rita not only took care of his medicine but was able to win him over during what must have been a bit of a scary time for him for his family to leave. When we arrived home, his energy and happiness was back and you could see that he now had a bond with his caregiver. Rita emailed us while we were away with updates about how he was doing which put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our cruise. Because of our dog's medical condition, Rita stayed overnight at our home and checked on Oliver throughout the day. This, we feel, was a much better environment for him rather than in a doggy daycare. Rita was very clean and took great care of our home and checked our mail and watered our flowers on my request. She even washed & changed our bedding for us. I would highly recommend hiring Rita to care for the little ones that you love. We felt very comfortable with her staying in our home and most importantly, providing love, care and companionship for our little Oliver.
