Semi-Retired Dog Mom

Pet care experience

My family has had a dog since I was 7 and I was a latch-key kid, so it was my job to let her out when I got home. I love dogs of all types and myself and my dog Olie love to play with other dogs. I used to have another dog myself, but I travel a little as well and having two dogs would make it too difficult to do, so I would live to be able to care for your dog for the added love and joy that pets give.

Renee watched both my dogs and did a great job with them! No crates required, lots of good play time and care! She sent videos of my dog Dakota having a great time playing wit Olie. We will definitely use her services again!

Bella was well taken care of. It was nice that Renee would send a pic/message every day. I paid for late pick up time, even tho I didn’t need to cuz we got home by 3:00. I assumed Renee could keep that as her tip. I don’t go often anywhere without Bella. However, I would use Renee again.

I do not have a fenced yard unfortunately, but I do have a tie-out, or I would be willing to stay at your home to sit your dog, Of course, your dog would have to be able to get along with my dog. In good weather, I will also walk my dog on the trails in my area. Preferably your dog should be leash-trained as I am unable to run at all. (I have a bad knee which doesn't function in those instances.) I have a double leash tie, so I would tie my dog with yours during the walks. I would prefer not to take care of puppies as they may require more hands-on supervision, but I would be available for short stays for house-trained dogs.

Information Renee Z. would like to know about your pet

I have watched elderly dogs and also deaf dogs. I should know the dog's habits about peeing at night, recall, attention, and hand gestures (or special collars) which may be necessary to work with a dog who is deaf. If high energy, I would like to know what their favorite activities might be.

A typical day

I take the dogs on a 1/2 to 1 mile walks. there are several places to stop and let the dogs have running time and I like to let the dogs do this, but will not if the dog's recall is not good. The area in which I live has a small park for children and trails near a pond and small woods. It is very scenic. I also have a spot on the walk where I can stop in and see a few other dogs which has room for water and more play. Very good dogs and very friendly neighbors.
