Information Renald I. would like to know about your pet

THE FOLLOWING IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION: I am unable to host: 1. Pit bulls, Rottweilers, or Dobermans. 2. Dogs over 60lbs. (Exceptions may be made for sweet Goldens or Labradors) 3. Unneutered males 4. Aggressive dogs 5. Dogs that bark a lot (I live in an apartment and have to think of my neighbors) 6. Dogs which are not leash trained and resist following. 7. Dogs which are not housebroken. In my experience dogs that come from houses and are used to having yards to run around in do not do well in apartments--they get frustrated at that kind of confinement. Also older dogs find it stressful to find themselves suddenly out of their usual environment, and for them I suggest sitting or a drop in visit rather than boarding. I would consider this if you are in the Rego Park or nearby areas. Also, please be able to provide a contact phone number in case of an emergency and which will be available to me even if you are out of town or cannot answer your phone, not a vet but a friend or family member.

A typical day

I would take your dog to the park on nice days and spend an hour there with him or her, in addition to regular potty breaks. Please note that I prefer to board your pet for no more than one week at a time, which may include weekends.

Retired guy to watch your dog.

Pet care experience

I am very conscientious and like dogs. I always had a dog while growing up, but I don't have one now because I feel it is not ideal for a dog to live in a confined apartment, especially you are working and have to be away all day. I live in a dog-friendly residential neighborhood so there are plenty of places to walk the dog---the streets are quiet and not too much traffic. There is also a large park not too far away which I go to on nice days and could take the dog to. Also my apartment is pretty big and there is plenty of room for your dog to walk about. I also don't mind if your dog gets up on the couch with me (or by himself)---I don't have any problems with him being comfortable. PLEASE READ MY ENTIRE PROFILE. There are some dogs I am unable to host. Thanks!

We loved having Renald watch Daisy. She was well cared for and happy to see him again after our meet and greet. We got pictures daily and he was easy with drop off and pick up. Would definitely book with him again!

Renald is so polite, caring, and attentive. Renald really enjoys boarding dogs it’s in his genes. My dog looked in great shape when I picked him up, and he even said good-bye to Renald with a wagging tail..it was so sweet! I will definitely be booking Renald services for boarding in the future.

Renald did a great job watching our pup over the weekend! We highly recommend him for anyone looking for a reliable Rover who will walk and spend time with your dog while you’re out of town.
