Veterinary/Full Time Loving Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Renee. If you are looking for more than just a dog sitter, you are in the right place. I am a Veterinarian graduated from Mexico with 9 years of experience. While I do not hold an official license to practice clinical medicine, perform surgeries, or prescribe medications here in the United States, my medical background means your pet will receive the safest, most knowledgeable care possible. What I offer: *Puppy Care Specialist: I know how fragile 2-month-old puppies are. I design strict potty training schedules, enforce safe socialization, and keep them mentally stimulated without risking their health. *Special Needs & Senior Care: I am fully qualified to administer oral medications, monitor chronic conditions, and handle senior pets with mobility issues with extreme gentleness. *A Safe Environment: My apartment is a pet-proofed, cozy home. I focus on high-quality, closely supervised care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my absolute priorities. You will receive frequent updates, photos, and the peace of mind that a veterinary professional is watching over your furry family member!

Renee did an AMAZING job with our pets. She sent so many updates and videos, we loved it. She also brought my packages inside for me which is a nice little bonus ☺️☺️

Best sitter ever! I have booked with Renee before, she is great! Always on time, pics and videos, great communication! If I go on another trip I only want to book with her. She was very patient with my senior dog. Highly recommend!
