Safety, trust & environment
I take the time to get to know each dog by asking lots of questions and observing their personality and play style. I love playing with dogs, my own dog often mistakes me for one because I match his energy! Working with reactive dogs has taught me that every dog has their own boundaries and unique personality. I never treat one dog the same as another and am always respectful of your pet’s limits.
Information Renee W. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about your dog's temperaments. What triggers them and how you would like me to proceed. Do they prefer to play, walk, job -- what is their form of stimulation?
A typical day
I love long walks. I love lying in the son with dogs. I love creating interactive games. I like to look study training videos in my free time, so I can help reinforce good behavior with your pup. If you have any ingredients at home you don't mind me using, I love to whip up healthy dog treats as well.

Kind, Patient and Tailored Care
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Renee, and my passion for animal care began with my rescue dog, Brownie. Over the past 3 years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even goats & farm animals of all ages, temperaments, and care needs. I have experience with: • Puppies, senior dogs, kittens, and multi-pet households • Large dogs (80+ lbs) and working breeds • Rescue dogs and reactive dogs • Administering oral medications Some of my previous pet care experience includes: • Caring for a Shiba Inu requiring oral medication for 1.5 months • Dog sitting 4 dogs from the same household for 3 weeks • Caring for 2 cats and 1 kitten from the same household for 1 month • Walking, jogging and hiking with dogs • Volunteering with Furry Friends Rescue and Muttville Senior Dog Rescue I’m especially comfortable working with rescue and reactive dogs. My own dog has reactivity challenges, so I understand the importance of patience and picking up on body language before a reaction happens. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’m happy to reinforce any training methods or routines you already use with your dog. My approach to pet care is centered around respect for each animal’s individual personality and boundaries. I prioritize clear communication and provide frequent updates and photos so owners feel informed and reassured while they’re away. I love meeting new dogs and cats and learning about their quirks, and I hope to meet your furry friend(s) soon! I understand my profile is new, so I don’t have as many testimonials. I have done work exchanges in the past on Workaway and WWOOF, and have attached those reviews as screenshots. You can also request references from me.

Reviews
I have a cat, Hermione, and a dog, Buddy. Renee often drops in to feed them, and play with them while I am gone as I am an EMT. She provides long walks for Buddy, who requires lots of exercise. She communicates well and you can tell she really loves dogs!
Because of my work schedule, Renee often drops in to check in on my cats Sedna and Ceres. On top of feeding them, she always ensures they have an enriching time. She is good at finding each cats playing style and adapting to it.
