“Elena was a delight. She checked in on our dachshund baby, Louisa, while we were away for the weekend. She went above and beyond checking on our home and sent great pictures! Thanks Elena. We appreciate you! Will reach out soon again!”


“Ten was fantastic with my 2 fur babies who need to be fed 2x a day. Even my very shy cat came out to see her. Will absolutely be booking with REN again. Excellent visit notes as well.”


“Elizabeth was quick to respond to a last minute booking for a drop in, and was super kind, thoughtful, and communicative. She shared lots of photos and has a great sense of humor! Will definitely use Elizabeth again in the future.”


“Cortney is so great. She was so nice when I met her and I completely trust her to come let my Ripley out when I am at work. I will absolutely be using her from here on out. Thanks Cortney!!”


About: I’ve taken care of animals as young as I can remember. Wanting to give back & help others care for their animals how I can! Luckily I work a flexible schedule from home & am able to pop in short notice to relieve your pet for you. I would love to meet them! I have an energetic golden retriever I am used to taking on long walks & playing fetch. I’ve taken care of older dogs, sick dogs & have trained young pups too.

About: I have a Bichon/ Shi tzu who I love and is like a child to me. Let me know if it isn’t okay to bring him around your pets and it isn’t a problem at all. I am excited to meet more pets . I’d love to work with your pets and look forward to meeting every one. I'm currently doing this as part time for myself to make a little extra cash. My main availability will be during the weekends and for drop ins during the week if available. I currently live with a roommate but they will not mind if I took in a pet for care. Currently, I typically help care for my friends pets if they are out of town but have no issue helping others.

“INCREDIBLE PET SITTER! I've lived in multiple states and she's the best I've had by far. She went above and beyond to take care of my floof! I'm so grateful. Just the best!”


“Colleen was great with our two dogs, Brodie and Sara. She came over prior to the trip and met both dogs and reviewed our wishes in detail. She was prompt each day and we received a report on each visit to include a picture of both dogs. When we arrived home Brodie and Sara were happy and playful unlike when we pick them up from the kennel and they look emotionally and physically beat down. We will be using Rover and Colleen for our future needs.”


“Cynthia went absolutely above and beyond in her brief time with my little cat. Initially I told her that he’s very shy and I won’t blame her for just coming in to check his food and water then heading out but she gave her best effort to actually try to connect with my cat and create trust. On top of that she gave me some very helpful advice for working with his little personality and how to help him be more at ease. I can say with immense confidence that I will be working with Cynthia in all my cat care needs going forward!”


“Theresa is just wonderful with our two cats! This is the third time we have booked with her, and we don’t want to book with anyone else. She sends great updates and lots of pics of our boys! They’re always happy and healthy when we get home, even after several days of being gone. We highly recommend Theresa for cats, and I’m sure she’s just as great with dogs!”

“Zid arrived promptly on time for both visits for us and took care of our fur babies as if they were his own. From our initial communication, meet and greet, and continuous updates I could tell our dogs would be in excellent care. Zid was great at communicating and he made sure our pups got play time. Additionally, he sent us updates with photos which helped us enjoy our time away and not worry about them. To be honest, based on the pictures he sent us, our dogs might want us to leave more often. We highly recommend Zid and will for sure ask him to watch our babies for us again.”
