We understand that each individual pet has their own personality, habits, and needs. Professional training tips will be suggested when and if desired, and a note of the visit and daily activities will keep record of your pet’s services. Our house-​sitting services are exceptional, with years of experience and full respect to every house and pet. We’re physically fit and built for the job, and we know how to customize walks, using age and breeds as factors.

History

Established in 2012.

Renee Wickham Bio:

I have a lifelong love of animals and caring for them. Growing up, I was always responsible for a variety of animals, including fish, birds, small mammals, amphibians, and reptiles. By age 17, I started fostering, rescuing, and breeding different amphibians, reptiles and fish. I knew then that I wanted to spend my life working for and giving care to animals.

I am currently excited to be pursuing an undergraduate degree in biology, and intend to follow through to a graduate program in zoology. I have experience walking dogs, I’ve volunteered at nature Museums, and have also worked in multiple pet stores as an aquatic and reptile specialist.

I’m devoted to pet care, and am deeply reliable. You can count on me to assist, and give affection and attention to the individual wants and needs of your dog (s), cat (s), or other pet!

I have extensive experience with dog walking, care, in-​home pet sitting, and basic obedience training. I also have knowledge and hands-​on experience with behavioral issues, animal rescues, shelters, and zoos.

I have the ability to communicate and interpret your dog’s wants, and am sensitive to each individual animal. I love learning something new from each and every dog I work with; I’ll be able to suggest personal training tips. I also love the outdoors, and working in all kinds of weather. Organization, time management, patience, awareness, and attention to detail are all skills I’ve been nurturing through these jobs.

I’m confident, ambitious, and excited about my continuous studies of dogs, and positive reinforcement training. I am a strong
