Pet care experience

Trusted, capable sitter

I have been working with pet sitting/walking companies for many years now, and absolutely love this job. Not only does it give me freedom but also allows me to bond with and take care of pets of all kinds. I’ve taken on puppies and watched them grow, taken care of older dogs and cats and their needs. This work is deeply meaningful to me, and easily the funnest job I’ve ever taken on. Most of my reviews have been stellar and I’ve really appreciated the trust that people have given me in caring for their pets and their homes. You can trust me to follow directions and be attentive and focused on your pets, to be communicative, send pictures and become your pets best friend. I can give medicine and ointments to pets. I’m good with walking pullers and have had positive experience gaining the trust of dogs and cats who are anxious about their owners. I am very patient with shy and nervous pets. I took a year off and have come back to Rover refreshed and ready to take on new clients. I live in and work mainly in the Mississippi area but any part of the N, and western end of NE of Portland is easy for me to get around. I would love to travel further but one of the mistakes I made early on was taking too many clients in at once in too many different locations, so now I am focusing more on the quality I give to the pets closer in my area, to avoid being late or having to divide too much attention. This limits my availability somewhat but I’d prefer to have happy customers, happy pets, consistency and not be overworked. This is a gig job so what is paid into this is split with Rover. It’s a good job but it is close to minimum wage, when fees get taken out. The realistic rate of pay I receive, distance and limits on how many pets I take on a day are my only limitations on what I can do, and I will be communicative and open on my end to let you know. I look forward to meeting you and your critters!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I do pet sitting, and would make sure they felt loved and spend as much time with them while I was with them. I generally play with them or keep them close and pet them over half the time I am around them.

Schedule

My schedule is very open for this summer. I can’t work from 10am-1pm on Wednesdays. I am also a college student so there will be a few more classes in the fall, something to be mindful of if booking with me this summer, in case I can’t fit you into the schedule when I go back.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Renee can host up to 7 drop-ins per day
I would want to know the temperament, excitability and size of the pet, what they like, what motivates them and what they do not like and should avoid. If I’m a walker, sometimes ideal routes, how to gain entrance to your place and lock up, what kinds of things your pet can and can’t eat, how they behave around other dogs/cats/small animals.
These prices are for 1 dog.
