This was my first time using a pet sitter. I've only taken my high anxiety dog a handful of times to a local boarding facility for 2 or 3 days at a time maximum. So to leave my dog with a stranger for 2 weeks where I'm at a different continent, was nerve-wracking to say the least. Ive met up with a few sitters on here and I can say that from the start Renee was very welcoming, knowledgeable, understanding, and had great communication. She voluntarily mentioned things like having an emergency vet nearby, thinking through other dogs that she'd be looking after at the same time and how all the dogs would fit together. She was asking all the right questions to learn about Trudie's routine and how to have her stay be as comfortable as possible. While I was away on vacation, she would send me daily updates on how Trudie is doing with accompanying pictures. She shared how her eating and potty habits were truthfully (which were all expected given how anxious my dog is and the new situation she's in). I was just hoping that Trudie would not be freaking out the entire time, I would have called that a win. So seeing pictures of Trudie on her back getting belly rubs was just beyond anything I could have hoped for. I truly felt comfortable while being thousands of miles away that my dog is in great hands. I rarely ever write reviews, but Renee truly deserves the recognition.

Nova had a great time with Renee today. Renee was responsive, shared updates throughout the day, and made scheduling very easy. She was flexible and it truly felt like she treated Nova as her own. I will definitely use Renee and her husband again.

Renee took such great care of my doggo! It was the first time boarding him in his 12 years of life and I was SO nervous. Old guy, not super socialized with other dogs, but a big marshmallow. She checked in multiple times to let me know how he was doing and I was so relieved to hear he was doing so well!! I am just so thankful I chose her because she took such great care of him! Highly recommend and will absolutely book with her in the future :)
