Safety, trust & environment

Safety is always my number one priority. I do my best to keep my eyes on pets at all times to make sure they're not doing something they're not supposed to or getting into things they aren't supposed to. For walks I will never just lazily hold onto the leash, instead I'll be prepared like they can run off in any second. When I feed pets I watch them to make sure they don't eat too fast and throw up, and try to encourage them to drink water as well as check to see if they need to go to the bathroom when they're done. If I'm watching a pet and they show any sign of distress it's of immediate concern to me and I will be contacting the parents, as well as a vet if needed. If you entrust me to take care of your pet I will ensure they receive the best care possible until their favorite people get home! :)

Information Ren D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs your pets may have when booking! I would also like to know if you have a preference of emergency vet for your pet.

A typical day

I love to provide dogs with enrichment by letting them stay outside (safely) and play as long as they like! I like to take them on walks, if it's possible to bring them to a park or let them outside to throw a ball or frisbee or even just to enjoy the outside for a little bit.

Pet care experience

My whole life I've been surrounded by pets. I was born into a house with a bird and 2 dogs, but once I turned 5 I had convinced my mother to bring home a cat from the grocery store after absolutely falling in love. Years down the line I moved and eventually had 4 dogs that I walked, played with, fed, bathed and mostly took care of myself. With time I moved in with my brother to help him take care of his house with 11 guinea pigs, 3 cats, and a leopard gecko! Once I turned 18 I was finally able to adopt my own cat, and since then I have adopted another one and who brings me so much joy. I love all animals and will take care of yours like my own!

This was our 2nd time booking with Ren. We had to book some weird dates last minute and he was willing to accommodate. He always takes extra time with the kitties and makes sure they are happy and healthy. I would 100% recommend!

Ren was absolutely wonderful, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. They stayed with my pets (a dog and a cat) for four nights and five days and from the moment I left, I felt completely at ease. They kept me updated every single day with thoughtful messages and lots of photos, which gave me so much reassurance and allowed me to truly relax and enjoy my time away. My dog was well cared for with regular walks and frequent potty breaks, and it was obvious both of my pets received so much attention, affection and playtime. One of the sweetest surprises was that Ren even crocheted little homemade toys for my cat! It was such a thoughtful gesture and showed just how much they genuinely care about animals. When I returned home, my house was absolutely immaculate. Ren took wonderful care of everything, and it was clear they treated my home and my pets with the utmost respect. I can’t recommend Ren highly enough. They are kind, reliable, communicative, and truly went above and beyond. I’ll absolutely be booking them again the next time I travel. Thank you, Ren, for giving me such incredible peace of mind—I knew my pets were in the very best hands.

My cat LOVES Ren! (And so do I!) Ren is responsible, has detailed info to share about my cat, and takes great photos! 😊 I feel good knowing that my cat is well taken care of when I have to leave town!

Ren was great looking after my two kitties! They always sent me pictures from check-ins and made an effort to play with them even though they're both shy and wary of new people. I'd definitely recommend them!
