Renee has been a good friend of mine for many years now and also happens to be one of the few people I trust to watch my pets when I'm away or find myself in a jam. I have two cats, Shea and Merlin, and needless to say they aren't always too thrilled when someone other than myself is inside the house; I completely expected the first time I had Renee come over while I was away to simply be a matter of putting out more food and checking on the litter box. Somehow Renee ended up turning her check in into a much needed hour long play session with my cats. I had already known Renee for a couple of years and could attest to the fact that she's a great person with a big heart, however she also managed to befriend 2 skittish and sometimes antisocial cats within 10 minutes. I feel as though this one instance really summed up Renee's love, patience, and kindness that she shows towards animals. If you're searching for someone to look after your pets with the same love and respect that you do, Renee is without a doubt the right person for the job.
