I work from home the majority of the time, and my husband (who is also a huge animal lover) has flexible hours as well. Therefore, someone is typically home and able to walk/feed/play with your pet during the day. I have a fenced yard and a small doggie door as well.

Information Rena M. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know what their daily routine is like, and whether they have any anxieties, allergies, special needs, etc. If your dog enjoys walks, I’d also like to know whether they are okay meeting people and other dogs on leash or if they tend to be more reactive on leash. The more information about your pet the better so that I can make them feel as comfortable as possible when they’re away from you.

A typical day

It depends on the pet’s preferences. I can lounge and cuddle, play fetch, go on long walks, trips to the park, hikes, or whatever your pet likes!

Lifelong animal lover

Pet care experience

I used to work at a dog rescue, and I have experiences with all kinds of pups, from tiny chihuahuas to big pitties. I love them all. I recently lost my 16 year old rescue dog, Spike, and I miss being around animals. I’m experienced with special needs dogs, senior dogs, and with administering medication. Your dog will be in great hands with me!

Rena is a kind soul and great pet caregiver. She loves all animals. Rena has lots of experience with pets of all needs. Whenever she would see my senior dog, she gave her so much love and attention. I truly believe Rena is a responsible and exceptional pet caregiver. She is so great with animals of all temperaments and needs.

Rena was such a caring pet sitter for our two big dogs, giving their medicine, play time and snuggles! She was very communicative, sending photo updates and timely responses, and I felt so at ease knowing she was caring for my dogs. Rena is so kind, responsible, and genuinely loves animals. When I returned to a clean home and happy dogs after vacation I knew I’d made a great decision having Rena sit for me.

Rena took such excellent care of my kitty Frankie May while I was traveling over the holidays. She went above and beyond with spending time over at my place to hang out with Frankie, and even sent me cute photo and video updates of playtime and Christmas stocking opening. I really appreciate the extra time and care Rena gave to Frankie, especially since this was Frankie's first time staying home while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Rena for taking top-tier care of your furry friends!
