Im hesitant to leave this review because she will be booked all the time if people knew Renate is PHENOMENAL! We had a hectic travel day with a puppy who had an unprecedented poop in the car on the way to her house. Renate quickly normalized the puppys likely anxiety and mistake. She offered to help w/ a quick backyard bath, and a kit for me to clean myself who was all but covered in poop. Her dogs were very friendly upon arrival and clearly used to fur friends and guests. She sent me a daily early morning text of our puppy likely sensing my anxiety about leaving him with someone for the first time his whole one-year life. I really enjoyed waking up to photos of him - reassuring me he was in good hands. She even agreed to facetime me so I could see him and he could hear my voice and say hi to his siblings. The pictures also told me he was embraced by the WHOLE family! He was clearly loved on while we were gone. Unlike my worry of kennels, he returned virtually how we left him without any weird coughs or other ailments people have mentioned when kenneling their animals. I also got the sense he spent more time out playing and cuddling opposed to crated all day and night which I estimate was a treat and far more time out than he gets at home while still potty training. She clearly enjoys sitting and bonds she builds albeit briefly with the pets. I have already recommended her to my friends and she will be my first choice for future sitting needs. HIGHLY RECOMMEND RENATE! - Jury’s Mom ❤️

I ended up not being able to use this booking because my plans changed. Instead Renee took care of my friend's very large dog as a special favor, and did a fabulous, very caring job.
