I will be in Mississippi! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Hi! I’m Rena a reliable and attentive dog & cat sitter originally from Japan. I offer house sitting and drop-in visits with a strong focus on safety, clear communication, and calm, loving care. I’m known for fast responses, being on time, and sending detailed photo & video updates so you always feel at ease while you’re away. If your pet is shy, sensitive, or anxious, I take extra time to help them feel safe and comfortable. I never rush visits and always respect each pet’s personality and boundaries.

Rena was amazing, thorough, communicative, thoughtful, and responsible. She went above and beyond for our dogs who range in age from a puppy to elderly with medical issues. As a first time Rover client, Rena left a seriously positive experience. 10/10 recommend!!

Rena was amazing, we came home to four happy and well taken care of kitties. Communication was great, we enjoyed getting our daily pictures and updates. We definitely will use Rena again. Thank you!!

The cat didn’t show up until a little later in the half hour but she made sure he was able to eat it before she left.

I debated whether or not to leave a review b/c I selfishly don't want to share you with anybody else. Ha! Thank you for taking care of my fur babies while I was away.

Rena is an excellent pet sitter. She is very attentive and keeps me well-informed of how my cat is doing at every visit. I feel confident leaving her in Rena’s care.

Rena did a wonderful job taking care of our pet! She caught on to the routine quickly and got our anxious cat to come out of her shell. Hope she will be available the next time we are out of town! :)
