Who's a Good Dog or Cat? All Of 'Em

Pet care experience

Over 35 years of professional experience caring for dogs and cats. I'll talk sweetly to your dog as we walk: I'm good at gently persuading dogs to sit as we wait for "walk" signs and heel even when they're not usually great at it. I'll give your dog fresh water after the walk, always and if I'm 'sitting will make sure he or she has the food they need. For cat care I'm always up for petting a new kitty (who enjoys it), playing with toys (I've had a couple of cats who fetch: does yours?) and making sure the water's changed, the food is in the bowl and the litter box is absolutely clean. I've had cats most of my life and can even train them (one of my cats was toilet-trained). If you appreciate what I do for your dog or cat, please tip, especially if you would like to book me again.

We loved the updates Ren provided and her pictures of our cats while we away. They were relaxed when we returned from our trip and happy.

I really take the same good care of your animals as I do my own. All my cats have lived to be 18-plus and were very well loved!

Information Ren J. would like to know about your pet

If a dog is aggressive (growls or snaps) or has ever bitten anyone I need to know this. Also if I might be greeted by a big mess, let me know how to clean it up.

A typical day

This depends on where the dog lives, but for very local dogs, you can't beat The Common and the Public Gardens. I'm always up for squirrel spying, duck and bird watching and short joint runs for very active dogs.

I usually accept up to 3 home visits a day with some days slightly more crowded. I do have other work (and other commitments) so will often be unavailable on some days (noted on the calendar) I don’t have 3 visits already. I never work on Christmas Day or Thanksgiving Day, but I'm open to other holidays (and can work around Christmas and Thanksgiving). Book early though, because I am generally very busy around any holiday.
