Your dog’s new best friend!
Pet care experience
I am an experienced and attentive dog sitter who has watched, cared for, and loved dogs for all of my life. I grew up in a home with three sweet dogs (a beagle, a lab, and a mutt), and would frequently walk and care for my neighbors' pets of all breeds and sizes. When I was in high school and college, I started volunteering for shelters and would housesit, petsit, and/or babysit on a weekly basis. Now, whenever any one of my friends, neighbors, or even former bosses needs help with their pets, I am always the first one they ask. I have also had my own pup, Kimchi, for over two and a half years. Kimchi is well-trained, thoroughly socialized, experienced with daycare and boarding, has up-to-date vaccines, and loves other pups. She has ample experience being with other dogs both in public settings and at home. I have also trained her to do over a dozen tricks (including on-demand kisses) and behavioral cues (such as settle and place).
Reviews
Renae was amazing with Almond! We came home to a very happy pup :) definitely recommend her for a walk and/or drop-in visit!
Provided a great home for our dog! You can tell that he had a great time and was so well taken care of!
She enjoys taking care of our dog Finny and communicates with us through-out the day:) Thank you!
Ranae was amazing taking care of my newly adopted puppy. I got frequent updates with pictures and videos of my dog playing and cuddling with her dog. Simply the best.

I live in a 1-bedroom apartment in a dog-friendly building with my boyfriend who also helps me with taking care of your pet/s. I also live near parks and fun walking areas in a very safe neighborhood. To get a glimpse of your dog’s stay with me, head over to @renaesbestfriends on instagram!
Information Renae S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, preferred diet or exercise, or any behavioral issues. I am happy to accommodate, but would appreciate a heads up!
A typical day
I always make sure that dogs get both physical and mental enrichment, depending on each of their needs. I have plenty of dog puzzles, love going on long walks where they can sniff around, have tons of toys and a ball launcher, and live close to a big park.
Services
Renae can watch in your home
Availability
I primarily work from home, which gives me the flexibility to watch and walk dogs during the day and make sure they're well loved and taken care of. Since I already have a pup, I already have walks and feeding fit into my daily routine. I am happy to adjust depending on the needs of your pet!
