Information Rena S. would like to know about your pet

For your dog I’d like to know what the usual schedule is -wake up, go out, food and sleep and also how sociable your pet is. There are some dogs who are fine on a leash but actually bite my dog if on a leash – odd yes but that happened too and I have no way of knowing unless we meet in a doggie park which is scary for some dogs so you need to write down everything when you text me because if there’s any signs of aggression I’ll pass.

A typical day

A visit to a quiet park nearby or Lafarge lake is our favourite thing to and we try to go for a longer walk if the weather permits.

Pet care experience

I’m on this app to find my Shih-poo some good doggy friends! She’s gentle and friendly and I’m looking for similar personalities. I have a work-from-home job and this allows me to take care of pets. My dog goes out four times a day and your dog will go out with her. So approximately 7.30 am, noon, 4 pm and 9 pm unless we have a puppy over in which case it’s more often. During work hours walk is short. My building only allows two pets per apartment. I live in a three bedroom apartment with water proof vinyl flooring. If your pet is used to sleeping in a large crate or bed by themselves we can place that in the guest room. I will do a meet and greet before accepting the request to ensure both pets get along. I have found that Border Collies, French bulldogs, Yorkshires and Corgis did not get along well with my dog. Also alpha dogs who are more people friendly than dog friendly can generally show signs of aggression when with another dog in a new home. Therefore I avoid accepting these requests for boarding or daycare. The size of pets I am able to accept for boarding or daycare is 20 lbs or less due to building restrictions. You pay Rover online and Rover takes 30% commission for the Rover Guarantee which is a good deal!.

I needed a last minute dog walker on 2 occasions s and Rena accommodated & was great with both our dogs. Came on time as was flexible. Would recommend Rena to other dog owners.
