Neighborhood In -Home Pet Care

Hi — my name is Rene, and I take care of pets and homes the way I’d want someone to take care of mine. I’ve lived in the Bay Area for over 30 years I have a genuine stake in this community and the people in it. I offer several services, and I do them exceptionally well: ∙ Overnight in-home dog sitting — I stay in your home, maintain your dog’s exact routine, and treat your space with complete respect ∙ Cat sitting — flexible arrangements that work around your cat’s needs and your schedule Doggie of Kitty Day Care in your home. No drop off of pick ups. I come to your house and spend the day with your pet while you are away at work or play. When you’re away, your home and your pet are in the hands of someone who treats both as if they were her own. No guests, no disruptions, no surprises. Just consistent, attentive care from someone who has made reliability the foundation of a 30-year career. I’m semi-retired, which means your pet gets my full attention — not someone squeezing this in between classes or a second job. My promise to you: I never take a booking without meeting you and your pet in person first. If after that meeting you don’t feel completely confident, you owe me nothing. I’d rather you find the perfect fit than just fill a slot. I keep a small number of clients so I can give each one the attention they deserve. If you’re looking for someone you can trust completely and come back to every time you travel — I’d love to meet you. 📩 Send me a message here and let’s set up a time to say hello!

Rene was fantastic with my cats. She followed all instructions carefully, were respectful of my home, and made sure my cats was comfortable and well cared for while I was away. Cats can be picky, and mine warmed up quickly — which says a lot. I felt confident the entire time and would absolutely recommend Rene ] to other pet owners

Communication with Rene was excellent, and I always felt at ease knowing my dog was safe, loved, and well cared for. My dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable when I returned. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, attentive pet care.

Pet's fit naturally into my day. I structure my schedule so they are not an interruption- they are a part of the rhythm of the day. I plan my time around walks, feeding, play, enrichment, companionship and quiet time.

Safety, trust & environment

I am home most of the time and can devote myself to caring for your pet. I will maintain their routine as carefully as possible.

A typical day

A day with me is calm, structured, and genuinely fun for your pet.I tailor each day to your pet's personality, energy level and routine so they can feel comfortable and cared for-not just "watched". For dogs that includes: morning sniff walks, backyard time, playtime with toys, fetch games, companionship. Midday and afternoon walks, depending on energy and needs. Quiet down time at naps, cuddles and just relaxing. For cats I focus on keeping their routine consistant, play sessions, feeding, litter box care and fresh water. Affection on their terms. Throughout the day I make sure pets feel safe, engaged and at ease. I pay close attention to their behavior, appetite, and mood. I send update according the owner's wishes. My goal is to create a day that is calm, familiar, comforting and fun.
