I’ve been a housekeeper for many years and have always done Petsitting/Pet Care on the side for my cleaning customers. Now that I am older I have given up the house cleaning and am just focusing on the fur babies. I moved down here to Florida a few years ago and decided I want to get back to petsitting. I was a former school bus driver back in Michigan. When I moved to Florida the thought of driving bus in this crazy traffic did not appeal to me. I became a store manager for a self storage facility down here but I’ve decided it’s time for me to get back to my passion. I want to care and love on your babies!!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have one elderly cat and two dogs currently in my home. My cat has to be quarantined to one part of the house due to the fact my dog Molly has developed a fear of cats and can’t be trusted with Lucy. She also doesn’t like other dogs so I unfortunately can’t do any petsitting in my home. I have excellent references that can be provided. I understand it is scary to let a stranger watch your fur child so I will gladly provide references at your request. I will cater to your pets special needs and will do my best to provide them comfort and love while you are away. I offer a free meet and greet to go over all care instructions that will be needed while you are away. This gives us a bit to get to know one another. I’m so excited to meet you and your furry family members.

Information Renee O. would like to know about your pet

Their energy level? Do they have any health problems? Do they need any meds? Feeding schedule? Daily routine? Favorite toys? Their favorite activities? Their night time routine? Emergency contact numbers? Do your dogs get along with other dogs? Does your dog get along with cats? Do your pets have any sort of anxiety or behavioral issues?

A typical day

My husband and I love to hike the local trails and would love to have some company of the 4 legged kind. I used to love playing frisbee with my dog so any kind of outdoor activities such as that would be fun. If your dog is low energy a short walk and time spent cuddling is great too. Lots of cuddles and love will definitely be provided in abundance!!!

My Heart Belongs To The Fur Babies

Pet care experience

My heart truly belongs to the fur babies of this world!! I would absolutely enjoy making some extra income doing what I love most. I have taken 1 year of Vet Tech courses at Baker College. At the age of 16 I received my license and started Petsitting that very first week. I have 32+ years of experience being a Petsitter!!! I have worked in a Veterinary Clinic for a short time and have also worked at the Kent County Humane Society in Grand Rapids, MI. I have a lot of general knowledge in animal care and handling. I have a bit of experience in training dogs also. I would treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I have a lot of love to give and would love to get to know your fur baby/babies. ***If you book a drop in visit or walk the minimum I stay is 30 minutes. It’s not uncommon for me to hangout for up to an hour. I don’t view this as a job. It’s a honor and a pleasure to spend time with any and all fur babies so I’m often not in a hurry to leave.

So thankful for Renee. On short notice she was able to come and take care my boy for the week. Thank you so much for taking care of Papi. ❤️

Couldn't ask for more. Took great care of the animals and great care of the house. Definitely our go-to for future needs.

Renee was great. She accommodated watching my pup until late (almost midnight) and took him to the dog park, on walks, and played with him. I knew my dog liked her when he whined after she left

Renee took great care of our animals. We were able to enjoy our trip without any concerns as to their welfare. She sent periodic updates, photos, and left our house in better shape than when she arrived. I would highly recommend her too anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter. It is obvious that she has a real love for animals!
