Every dog deserves a walk!

Pet care experience

Hi! As the typical dog lover would say: "I love dogs". I love their love, their enthusiasm, their perception, their open mindedness and the list could go on. I believe in providing the best lives for all animals! I have learned a lot by taking trainings through Ithaca Dog Club and other specialists. I have an impressive observation ability when it comes to figuring out a dog's behavior- aka I pay really good attention to a dog's needs. I have always had a dog in my life but my connection with dogs skyrocketed when I got my own two dogs (not just a family dog). Luna (the Sweet Loons) is my Australian Cattle Dog Mix and Pita (aka Stinky Pete) is my adorable chihuahua mix. They are two of my best friends! I love the weekends and holidays when I can hang out with them 24/7. They never fail to surprise me. I am available to walk a dog or stop in to keep a dog company anytime. I know what it is like to worry about not getting home to see your dog in time or a day where you don't have as much time as usual. Life gets busy so I would be glad to step in for the dog! I am definitely open to dog sitting for a longer duration once I get to know your dog!

I first noticed how careful and thoughtful Renee was when she came for a meet and greet. She showed up promptly and in great spirits. While most applicants listened to a list of instructions, Renee asked if I could show her our routine outdoors with our dog, Ruby. This showed me that she was detail oriented and wished to know our dog's behavior on a day-to-day basis and allowed her a chance to really interact with our dog. I was away for a week and I was worried about leaving our young and active dog alone for so long. Renee was superb at being communicative. She would let us know when she checked in, checked out, how much water, food was offered and how many walks Ruby had that day. She left pictures and kind words and it really alleviated any of my initial worries. For many, one's dog is not only a pet but a family member and Renee was wonderful at seeing that. I would definitely, without hesitation, work with Renee again.

Renee was amazing! She was very flexible and genuinely loved my puppies and took good care of them. She sent pics and was very responsive. I will definitely be calling her first the next time we need someone. She’s the best!

Renee took care of our pitbull, Lucy, for a few days and did a wonderful job. Lucy was scheduled for CCL surgery the following week and had some special care and medication requirements as a result. Renee performed all of these tasks perfectly and was the perfect caregiver for our affectionate, sometimes overly affectionate, pet. We will definitely call Renee again when we have the need for a dog sitter/walker.

Renee is just wonderful. We contacted her relatively last minute when we found out we had to go away for the weekend and she promptly replied that she could take our best buddy Rohan without issue. I could tell Ro immediately felt comfortable with her and her puppies, which made for a smooth transition for him. She was receptive to my comments on his tendencies with food, sleep, and his personality and was sure to accommodate. She also administered his eye medication per our request, and was comfortable doing so, without hesitation. When I arrived to pick him up on Sunday it was clear he wanted to stay longer! I cannot recommend Renee enough. Your furry friends are in the best of hands with her!

Information RENEE A. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any special needs that I need to be aware of? Are there any triggers that would be avoided? Are there any distractions that will make it easy for them to ha away from their parents- like favorite treats?

A typical day

I will talk to your dog and make sure they get all the attention they need. I’m intuitive when it comes to understanding a dogs needs. I’ll play fetch if that’s what they like, maybe some tug of war ?
