Rita has always been drawn to animals, cats in particular. And they have always been drawn to her. She possesses a unique ability to communicate with and understand the tender nature of cats. Since the age of 5, various stray cats and kittens followed her home, and she now shares her home with TEN furry babies.
Rita and her staff of dedicated and experienced cat care givers have become quite well known in Los Angeles for their love, patience, and their ability to administer various types of medication to scared and sick cats. Happily, the majority of their clients are happy, healthy cats who need some love and companionship while their owners are away.
Rita studies Feline Behavior and Psychology with Compass Education Ltd in the UK, and is a member of the Institute for Animal Care Education. Her Feline Behavior Counseling services help people better understand their feline companions.
After the death of her beloved Sadie earlier this year, Rita began writing a book entitled "Sadie's Heart." Please visit our "Sadie's Heart" page to learn more about her upcoming book and how you can be a part of it.
From 2005 until 2008, Rita was heard live weekly as an on-air personality and Associate Producer of the "Lighten Up with Richard Simmons" show, heard exclusively on Sirius Satellite radio station Stars 102. You can also see her in Richard's "Party Off the Pounds"
workout DVD, and his "Love Yourself and Win" DVD, which she also Associate Produced.
A native of Buffalo, New York, Rita lived in the Carolina's for much of her adult life before settling in Los Angeles in 2003. She has two Associates degrees and two Bachelors degrees in Business Management and Computer Science, and enjoyed a successful 22-year career in the technology field before dedicating herself full-time to caring for LA's cats. Rita decided to turn her love for and understanding of cats into a thriving cat sitting company because spending time with cats and the people who love them are two of her greatest joys.
You can often find Rita at the Westwood Petco store, volunteering on the weekends with Save-a-Life Rescue.
Rita Reimers and client cat, Jessie.
