Highlights
Pet care experience
Happiness starts with a wag!
With over 30 years of experience caring for dogs, I’ve had the joy of raising and looking after pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My own dog lived past 15 years old, and supporting him through the health challenges that come with age taught me how to administer a wide range of medications and provide the patient, attentive care senior dogs need to stay comfortable and happy. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, quiet companionship, or a little extra support due to age or medical needs, I’m committed to making them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to keep their routine steady, their tail wagging, and your mind at ease knowing they’re in caring, capable hands.

Ratings and reviews
Renee was easy to connect with. I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her and all was well upon our return. I would highly recommend her and I am excited to have her for future overnight stays with my dog.
Rene was very accommodating and attentive to Carley’‘s needs during her overnight stay. She took the time to get to know us and put us at ease by taking in everything we said about Carley’s personality, habits, and particular requirements. Rene took special care with Carley’s diet, medications and exercise. She truly dedicated her time, space and home to the comfort and welfare of our big mixed-breed dog. We will definitely use her services again.
Rene was wonderful- I made a last-minute request and was so lucky that she was available. My dogs clearly had a good time with her because they didn't go absolutely insane when I came to pick them up, like they usually do. They obviously had had a good time! Rene is lovely, easy going, and kind. I will definitely use her again in the future!
Rene was fantastic! Very communicative, friendly, and my dogs loved her. Would rebook again! Thanks for taking such good care of my doggos, Rene!!
Thank you so much to Rene . We couldn't have done this without her. My husband and I have never left our 2 border collie girls. After zmeeting with Rene and the girls meeting her we both felt relaxed and comfortable leaving them in her care. We appreciated the updates and videos. The girls seemed happy and comfortable.
This sitter was amazing. They were punctual for every visit and stuck to my pets’ routines exactly as I requested. They were affectionate, patient, and made sure my pets felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. I really appreciated the attention to detail and the genuine love they showed. I would absolutely book with them again.

Schedule
Now that I’m not working outside the home, I’m able to devote my days to something I genuinely love — caring for pets. My schedule is calm, flexible, and fully centered around being available when pet parents need me most. Whether it’s early‑morning visits, midday check‑ins, or keeping a steady routine for your pet while you’re away, I have the time and attention to make it happen. I’m an early riser, so morning feedings, walks, or drop‑ins fit naturally into my day. I enjoy starting the morning with purpose, and there’s nothing better than beginning the day with a happy tail wag or a content purr. Because I’m home throughout the day, I can offer consistent care, low‑stress routines, and quick communication — all things that help pets feel secure and help you feel confident while you’re away. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into a busy schedule. It’s a meaningful part of my everyday life, and I’m committed to giving your pets the same calm, reliable, loving care I give my own.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I’ve learned that the little details make the biggest difference. When I’m in your home, I follow a careful routine to make sure your pets stay secure, comfortable, and stress‑free. * I keep doors and gates fully secured at all times and double‑check them before leaving. * I follow your pet’s routine exactly as you describe it, including feeding times, walk schedules, and any special instructions. * I monitor your pet’s behavior and environment closely, making sure they’re safe, calm, and not getting into anything they shouldn’t. * I keep all medications, treats, and supplies organized and give medications exactly as directed. * I maintain a clean, hazard‑free space by ensuring food, plants, and household items are out of reach. * I stay in communication with you, sending updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. * I respect your home by locking up properly, turning off lights, and keeping everything just as I found it.
Pets
A typical day
* Walks that fit their pace — whether they love a brisk morning walk or a slow, sniff‑filled stroll. * Playtime with their favorite toys — fetch, tug‑of‑war, or gentle indoor games for smaller or senior dogs. * Mental enrichment — simple puzzle toys, treat‑finding games, or training refreshers to keep their minds active. * Backyard or indoor play sessions — safe, supervised fun that helps them burn energy and stay happy. * Calm companionship — for dogs who prefer quiet time, I offer gentle petting, brushing, or just relaxing together. * Routine‑friendly activities — I follow your dog’s normal schedule so they feel secure and comfortable. * Extra support for seniors — slow walks, soft play, and patient attention for dogs who need a gentler approach.

- Please let me know if your dog has anything special or quirks I need to know about. * Energy level — Some breeds need long walks and lots of stimulation, while others prefer a slower pace. * Social habits — Whether their breed tends to be shy, protective, vocal, or very social helps me prepare for their comfort. * Any breed‑specific health concerns — Such as breathing issues (brachycephalic breeds), joint concerns (large breeds), or skin sensitivities. * Grooming or coat‑care needs — Some breeds need regular brushing, paw checks, or extra care after walks. * Training background — Many breeds thrive with structure; knowing what commands they know helps me keep things consistent. * Walking style — Some breeds pull, some zig‑zag, some are scent‑driven, and some prefer short, calm walks. * Any breed‑related quirks — For example, escape‑artist breeds, diggers, jumpers, or dogs who are very vocal.
