I only do walks within a 20 minute train ride, but will do sittings all over the city! (Note: I charge a 10% cancellation fee if cancelled within 24 hrs of service)

Safety, trust & environment

I am respectful of all wishes when it comes to drop-in visits and your home, and keep to common areas, I'm also willing and in fact, encourage picture updates of your pet's care (and to reassure you if you have anxiety over leaving your pet with a stranger like I sometimes do). As for walks, there are no headphones or any other distractions to me when I walk your pet. I stay along well lit streets, and aware of your dogs needs at all times.

Information Ren H. would like to know about your pet

How big is your dog? What are their favorite toys? Are the messy or fiesty? Do they like being pet and where? No breed preferences. Do YOU have any house rules or allergies if I’m doing a sitting? For instance, shoes off? Don’t bring peanuts?

A typical day

I tend to find parks ahead of time to head towards and around, and am flexible to the dog's needs on what sort of care they need. For instance, I will not force a senior dog into running but can run with a puppy.

Pets

I’m just as energetic as your dog!

Pet care experience

NOTE: I charge $60 as my flat fee for 6 hours of homestays. After that I charge an extra $5 for each hour per dog. (this is negotiable for repeat clients). I am usually unavailable Tues/Thurs evenings after 6pm. I also only do overnight stays for repeat clients. Hi! I've been around both dogs and cats my whole life and have been a primary caretaker of everything from puppies and kittens to senior pets to pets with special needs. My own two cats can attest that I'm ready and willing to do everything I can to give them a good life. I'm energetic and dependable, I'm also strong so your big dog won't get a leg up on me! You can rely on me to bathe, walk, feed, give medication, or even just some extra love to your pet! I'm also good with boundaries, (important for cats especially) and have worked with breeds from toy Morkie's to giant Shepards!

Ren was fantastic! They were quick to communicate, sent photo updates throughout the sitting and even helped with Roxy’s puppy training. Really felt that Roxy was well loved and cared for while we were out. Would absolutely have Rent dog sit for us again!

book ren if you can! she was super super amazing with my socially problematic dog who has a biting history. ren did a great job reading his body language and knowing when to give him attention and when to give him space. she followed all the instructions i left and i came home to a tired and happy dog.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
