Availability

I am currently available for sits, walks and drop ins. I can accommodate any schedule to attend to your pet's needs. I work part-time as a Barista at a locally owned cafe in NE Portland. Shifts are 5-6 hours long. I usually have 3 to 4 shifts per week. I am diligent about spending quality care time and walking / exercising pets no matter what. I am happily available for overnights and housesitting for long periods as well. I like to cook, (and eat :) keep up with a fitness routine, read, make jewelry and play music.

A typical day

I typically rise early, but adjust my schedule to whatever your pet's needs are. Taking a dog on a walk is one of the simple joys we are afforded in this life. I love getting out with pets. Feeding time, treats and playtime are the highlights of pet care. I get a huge mood boost getting to connect with and play with animals. A typical day is brighter with pets.

Pet care experience

A huge animal lover from 4 years old. Always the kid who was trusted with neighbor's homes and pets, not much has changed as an adult. I have cared for fish, rabbits, reptiles, chickens and horses. There is nothing I can't handle when it comes to pet care. I strive to help your pet (and you) feel happy and at ease. I'm calm, trustworthy, capable and love keeping homes clean and tidy. I love caring for indoor and outdoor plants and gardens as well. Each animal has their own unique personality and I treat each one with respect to that. I communicate well with them (and their human.) I really like training dogs and am happy to help reach a goal you are hoping to achieve with your pet while you are away. I provide updates and photos/videos to pet parents as often and as detailed as needed.

As always Renata was the best! Our dog was even dealing with a GI bug and she was amazing at communicating and helping us problem solve from afar. House was clean, pets were happy, and we knew all was well of Renata was there.

Renata did an absolutely fabulous job of taking care of my babies while I was on vacation. She was super communicative, sent daily photos and updates, and I came home to a sparklingly clean house and happy animals! Thank you!

Renata is the best! We have had her stay several times and she always does a fantastic job. Pets are happy and house is clean when we get back, plus her communication is amazing!

Renata is an amazing pet and house sitter. She went above and beyond when we were on our trip, making any worries we had about our pets basically vanish while we were away. She gave us updates and pictures frequently, and also left our house spotless, which was so nice to come back to after long travel. Highly recommend her as both a pet sitter and a house sitter. Thanks Renata!
