Safety, trust & environment

Safety and respect are central to every visit. I care for each pet and home with attentiveness, professionalism, and care. In your home, I maintain a clean, organized environment and follow all feeding, hygiene, and care routines as instructed. Food and water bowls, litter boxes, and pet areas are kept tidy, and I am mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and secure access at all times. I prioritize calm, gentle handling and adjust my energy to match your pet’s temperament. My goal is to create a safe, predictable experience that supports your pet’s comfort and well-being. During extreme weather conditions (heat, cold, or storms), dog walks may be modified to drop-in visits to ensure safety.

Information Rena G. would like to know about your pet

Before your first visit, it’s helpful for me to understand: • Your pet’s daily routine • What helps them feel most comfortable and secure • Any medical needs or medications • Behavioral quirks, anxieties, or triggers • Training cues and reinforcement methods you use Prior to our meet & greet, I’ll provide a detailed intake form to gather this information and ensure care is consistent with your expectations. Clear communication allows me to provide thoughtful, stress-free visits tailored to your pet’s individual needs.

A typical day

For dogs, this may include neighbourhood walks or hikes, along with enrichment, playtime, and positive interaction. For cats and bunnies, visits include feeding, fresh water, litter or enclosure care, gentle play, and calm companionship based on their comfort level. I focus on creating a balanced visit — meeting practical needs while also prioritizing connection, mental stimulation, and reassurance. Additional quality time, park outings, plant care, medication support, and light home tasks can be arranged upon request.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Rena G., M.Sc., a licensed and insured professional pet sitter with over 15 years of hands-on experience. I specialize in caring for senior, shy, and special needs pets, including those requiring medications. I’ve cared for my own geriatric cats with complex medical needs, giving me a strong understanding of patience, consistency, and quality-of-life support. I am Pet First Aid certified and currently completing Fear Free certification. My Master’s degree, with a focus on animal ethics, shapes my calm, gentle, and observant approach to each visit. I provide private dog walks & adventures, as well as in-home drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and bunnies, always tailored to your pet’s routine and temperament. Whether caring for energetic dogs, sensitive cats, or timid rabbits, I prioritize safety, compassion, and clear communication. Detailed photo updates are provided after every visit so you feel confident and connected while you're away.

If you are lucky enough to secure Rena as your pet sitter or dog walker you have won the lottery! She is very organized, super loving to the animal and we couldn't have been happier with the service she provided. Thank you Rena!

Rena is amazing with my cats! They are normally shy around new people but they warmed up to her right away! She is super attentive and I feel very comfortable leaving my kitties with her, even though they do have multiple health issues and require medications. She is very gentle with them and able to get them to take their medications which is a huge relief for me. I will definitely be using her servives 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.
