Cuddles and Adventures Guaranteed!

Hi there! My name is Renee, and it's an understatement to say I'm crazy about animals. I dedicate my whole life to my own pets (a pitbull/mini poodle mix named All-Ball and a macaw parrot named Kingsley) and to the furbabies of my clients. With 15 years of experience in pet care, I bring a wealth of knowledge and skills to the table when it comes to caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, and birds. The way I see it, it's my absolute duty to provide your little one with total joy. I'm not just a dog walker - I'm a playmate, best friend, and caregiver for your furbaby. I've had the pleasure of working with almost every dog breed imaginable, from Border Collies to Bulldogs, Poodles to Pitbulls (yes, I'm an avid pitbull fan). I understand every dog's unique needs, temperaments, and quirks. You can trust me to treat your fur baby like a member of my own family. For many of my clients, I have been a nanny to their furbaby and considered a trusted partner in helping raise them from when they were puppies. I consider that the highest honor in my world. It's been a couple years since I worked on Rover, so my reviews have disappeared unfortunately! But I had 17 repeat clients and 60 x 5-star reviews. Until I build up my profile again, it will appear to be a beginner's profile. I've temporarily reduced my rates by 1/2 price in order to build my profile back up!! :) Do you have a special needs or elderly dog? I'm the ideal caregiver for your pup. I have extensive experience looking after elderly and special needs dogs, so you can rest assured that your precious pup will receive the extra love and attention they deserve. And if your dog requires oral medication, I'm well-versed in administering it. When I'm with a pet, my heart just lights up! I can guarantee that your furry companion will have a day full of love, happiness, and adventure with me. We'll go on fun walks together, play their favorite games, and of course, there will be plenty of cuddle time. So, if you're looking for someone who is not only experienced and knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about animals, then you've come to the right place. I can't wait to meet you and your adorable pet and create a bond that will make their day absolutely wonderful.

Safety, trust & environment

Before I care for your precious pet, I will meet with you to learn every little detail of how to keep them happy, safe, and well. I can be a part of your pet's normal training and routine, including feeding, crate training, and leash training. I only EVER walk one dog at a time so that I can give your pup all my love and attention.

Renee is great! She asked a bunch of questions about Tully and met him before the walk. This is an animal lover. Will hire again!

I've had Renee for a couple of weeks now and she has been a delight to coordinate walks with and my dogs love her! During the meet-and-greet, she took notes on their behavior at home, on walks, and what to do in different situations. One of my dogs is recovering from an injury, and she keeps me updated on how he did on his walks/cuddles, while my other is always ready for an adventure and walks the full 30 minutes. With detailed notes and very cute picture updates of my doggies, I would definitely recommend Renee to any doggy moms who need to feel secure that their dogs are being loved and cared for.

Renee was amazing with our XL pit bull, Bruno. He’s very sensitive and emotional and we could tell he was in very good hands. Renee is on time, and works from home so is able to be with Bruno all day and night and that left us feeling really good that we could trust him in her hands. Will definitely be booking with her again!

Renee is an excellent pet sitter! She is punctual, kind, and attentive. I can tell she really cares about our dog, Bruno and she is very intuitive with his needs. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future:

Tell me what brings your little one joy! That's what I want to give them more of. :) Let me know about any little quirks or needs so that I can make sure your pet has the best possible time with me. When we have a meet-and-greet, I'll ask all kinds of questions to learn everything there is to know about your furbaby or featherbaby.
