Pet care experience
I am a natural animal care taker who became a wildlife veterinarian in 1992. I am specialised in wild Amazonian species ecology, like the short-eared dog (Atelocynus microtis) the only canid species endemic to the Amazon. Learning their basic ecology helps me to design reserves for them. I have great communication skills with dogs, and I like to give them the attention they deserve. If you want to learn more about me and my work, please visit: www dot iucn dot org slash content slash trapped-amazon, or just google for "Renata Leite Pitman". Taking care of dogs here in Evanston help us to fund the restoration project we do in a Reserve we own in Brazil since 1998 (see pictures). We have an adopted rescued dog called Zadie (which means Lucky in Arabian). She is a , medium-sized, 6 years old and she is very calm. We also have 2 adorable cats, and 3 lovely chickens. I am good in making dogs meet, respect and eventually to be friends with cats and chickens. My two teenager daughters help me take care of animals since early age, so your pet is guaranteed to have a fun time!
Reviews
very friendly and easy to work with!
Overall it seems like my dog had a great stay. Renata was easy to get in touch with and followed my guidelines for care. Unfortunately Renata’s phone was broken so we didn't get any real updates until the last day. The only issue I had was that I brought my dog to Renata's wearing a Halti, which in hindsight she clearly wasn't familiar with. The Halti is simply a tool to prevent a dog from pulling while on leash. However, she didn't remove the Halti during my dog's stay. She did remove it from his nose, but left the Halti attached to his collar during the entire stay. If your dog uses any sort of similar training device it is worth explaining how it works to Renata just to be sure it is used correctly. I should have done so, I made an assumption that she was familiar with it because she never said she wasn't. Other than that my dog came home happy, healthy and tired, so it was a great stay.
Renata is absolutely wonderful! She is so knowledgeable about animals and clearly loves taking care of them. Murphy is always very excited to see her and happy after a stay. Look no further, Renata is the perfect person to take care of you pets!!!
Renata is wonderful! Attentive, compassionate, flexible and accommodating. We don’t go out of town often and D gets anxious with lots of change. Leaving her with Renata gave us peace of mind.
