Young, energetic family. Dog lovers
Pet care experience
My name is Renée and I’m a stay-at-home mom to a 5 year old and 2 year old. Before kids, I was an English teacher at a university in Poland. My husband is currently working from home as well. We all love dogs, so each Rover request is always exciting. We aim to provide the best care, giving each dog exercise and plenty of attention. I send photos and daily updates so you can see some of what we get up to. My boys are used to both big and small dogs and, because of their playfulness, we’ve earned the name “puppy exhausters.” My husband and I have experience in caring for a variety of breeds and different ages. We understand dogs’ social needs and pack mentality. It’s also fun to discover each dog’s unique personality. We try to be calm, confident and collected around dogs to put them at ease, but also try to match each dog’s energy level and accommodate their needs.
Reviews
Renée and her family were so good to our pup during his stay! It was a hot day and Renée made sure to keep him cool and hydrated. Their dog Spoko, got along so well with Bronson, playing and wrestling until they both tuckered themselves out. We received lots of photo updates of the dogs at the dog park and playing in the house, we felt so comfortable being away knowing Bronson was in such good hands. Thank you again Renée!
We had a great experience with Renee! She took care of our high energy puppy all day and returned him exhausted. Lots of pictures throughout the day which was reassuring and her friendly demeanor made us feel at ease dropping him off.
Renee did a fantastic job of looking after Filo. Since Filo is a recent rescue from Mexico I am always hoping she is ok with the people after her. Renee clearly has a lot of experience with all kinds of dogs and Filo had a great time. I also got updates on how she was going and this was great. Many thanks Renee and I highly recommend you and Steven.
Renee and family took great care of Sadie during her recent two night stay. Sadie loved the attention, walks and play time with the kids. There was consistent communication; photos and tidbits of information on Sadie's daily routines. Thank you for treating her as though as she was part of your family. Greatly appreciated!
