Information Rena M. would like to know about your pet

Any allergies, habits, quirks, what they like and dislike, and any other information that you see fit to give me while taking care of your dog to ensure the best care!

A typical day

I love to mentally and physically stimulate dogs! First we’ll play some games (like tug or find the treats, etc) and then we’ll go get some new smells from the neighborhood! If it’s okay, I’d also love to take them to the dog park to get more of their energy out and to meet some new friends.

Pet care experience

I am currently a grad school student trying to spread the love for our 4 legged friends one walk at a time! I currently have my own dog that I have had for 2 years that I adore and know how hard it can get when you need to be away from your pet for longer than wanted but have no fear because I will give your pet all the love, adoration, tail wags, and more while you’re away for a bit! I have also taken care of all different types of pets (dogs, cats, bunnies) for family and friends growing up, including walking, boarding, feeding, and bathing. As an all around pet lover, I would love to treat your own dog like family and give them everything that need until you come back. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Hope to hear from you soon :)

Rena did an amazing job taking care of my two cats. Her drop in notes were very detailed and she took plenty of pictures. Both of my cats seemed to warm up to her quickly, which is great because one is sassy and the other can be skittish. I will use her services again!

Rena was communicative, on-time and patient with Garbanzo! He is wary of strangers and she made sure he was comfortable and taken care of. We would definitely use Rena again and plan on reaching out in the future.

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.
