I will be a student at Iowa State University this fall. I want to be able to get out and hang with your pet or take them for a walk! It'll be the perfect break from studying and any stress. My schedule at ISU is pretty flexible for anyone's pet needing care in the early morning, evening, or nighttime!

Safety, trust & environment

I take extra precaution when I meet new pets to try and figure out and understand their nature and what's normal for them. I always ensure that every instruction from the owner is noted and followed. I love to form connections to new pets and watch them get comfortable around me or even become more and more excited to see me! I will only be able to visit the client's home as my apartment does not allow pets.

Information Ren W. would like to know about your pet

I'd of course like to know if your pet is scared of anything like specific sounds or other dogs. It'd be helpful to know what they love most too so that I can make your pet happy! I love to give out treats, so I am always curious about where those are and whether they take treats nice or not. ;)

A typical day

I will most definitely play fetch and tug of war with your pet if you've got a ball or rope! If they love belly rubs I've got that covered too. My old family dog used to love hide & seek, so I would love to play that if you have an energetic dog who loves to seek! :)

Pet care experience

Throughout high school and my first two years at college, I've consistently had the opportunity to dog sit for coworkers, friends, family, or people who knew me from a friend! I'm used to taking dogs on walks and caring for them in their homes. I currently don't have a pet of my own so it's always nice to hang out with other people's pets!

Ren was so sweet! Finn is a very shy dog and he warmed up to her right away ❤️. Will be using her again!!

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.
