Pet care experience
I’ve had dogs in the house since I was born, and began helping with large and small dogs since I was 8, and have had dogs that are my individual responsibility for over 6 years now
Reviews
Renee was able to accommodate a last-minute drop-in. The dogs seemed very comfortable with her and got lots of snuggles and attention. We are looking forward to having her watch them for an extended time in a couple of months.
Renee is a sweet girl and no doubt she loves dogs. However, I am extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with the care she provided. I came home to a house that smelled like urine. There were several urine spots in my bedroom, with the carpet completely saturated. Accidents happen, but there was no attempt to clean. Either she was unable to accommodate her schedule to care for the dogs or she was very inattentive to their needs. One week later and I’m still trying to remove the odor. I may need to replace the carpet in my one year old house. I would definitely not recommend Renee for housesitting.
Renee was able to help us out in a pinch with extremely short notice. She took great care of our three large and extra-large dogs with no problem and we came home to happy pooches. We'll definitely be reaching out to her again.
Renee was amazing! Stayed in touch while we were away, took awesome care of our dog and two cats. Our dog is new to our family and she did so well with him — he was so happy to be able to stay in his house and she made that possible. Such a relief to have such a great caretaker while we were on vacation. Can’t say enough good things!

Safety, trust & environment
As the care would be in your house, your pet won’t have to be stressed out by an unfamiliar environment and other pets, I am happy to speak to you to learn about, and meet, your pet beforehand, and I can stick to whatever schedule you already have put in place for your pet
Information Renee G. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know anything and everything specific to your dog(s) needs and routines! Fenced in yard or not, serial puller, required medications, activity level, all information is welcome! I will need to know feeding, medication, and veterinary instructions though, as those are your animal’s basic needs
A typical day
I love to play with, train, and walk dogs. I’m willing to modify the routine to each dogs needs, as obviously older dogs are much more mellow and younger puppies require lots of exercise. In general; walks or play time during the day, and before bedtime at night
