We've only had Ana (our young, moody teenage girl) for a few months and are just now feeling very bonded. We had to go out of town for a few days to visit elderly family and were quite nervous about leaving her. Ana is so needful of people but is also territorial and frightened of new people so we were concerned that she'd be too anxious to warm up to a cat sitter. Renee is such a pro. Ana hissed when Renee first arrived for a get-to-know visit, but by the end, Ana was taking food from her! By the end of our time away, Ana was eagerly waiting by the door for her and happily receiving scritches. Ana is low maintenance for meds and such, so I can't comment on that, but I can tell you that Renee sent multiple vids/photos on every visit (which we totally ate up while we were gone). She played with Ana, using Ana's existing toys and teaching her new games. She fed Ana along the exact schedule that we'd set up, and gave her treats. Litter box was impeccable when we returned and we saw no evidence of litter accidents or other cat mishaps (so either Ana was remarkably good about this, or the mishaps were tidied away). We only hope that Renee doesn't get too popular so that we can hire her again this summer!

Renee is an absolute Godsend. My two terribly behaved and equally shy cats are always in amazing hands when Renee visits. This past visit Renee even fixed our automated cat feeder for me without me even asking. Renee is above and beyond and super fun to have come over. These shy cats love her.

Renee was wonderful! She was patient with our old grumpy man but made sure he received all of his medication and all of the love while we were gone! We will definitely be using her services again!

We love Renee. She is so good to our kitty, and she takes initiative, even to the point of finding a tiny battery on the floor and putting it in a safe place so that our cat won't swallow it. I felt great about leaving for the holidays with her in charge.

Renee did an amazing job! Our cat needs medicine daily, and was difficult about it, but Renee was dedicated, so patient, and so positive with him, she really took great care of him. She was really communicative and more than reliable. I’d recommended her to anyone.

We’re so grateful to have found Renée! She cared for our two cats for nine days and treated them like her own — feeding, cleaning, playing, and cuddling with them every night. She sent us daily videos that showed how comfortable and happy they were around her (hearing them purr in her lap said it all!). Renée is warm, responsible, and completely trustworthy in our home. We came back to two very content cats and a well tended home! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly loving sitter

Renee was recommended to me by a friend and I cannot say enough amazing things about her! Goose is a bit of a lazybones, but she had playtime with him every day! When he said he was done however, she would cuddle him as much as he liked, and listened to him when he had things to say.

Renee took wonderful care of our 2 furbabies, was extremely communicative, and provided a very helpful tip on how to administer pills to one of our cats. We strongly recommend her to anyone in the area needing care for their kitties!

She gave Mr. Mozart his medicine, a task others have found difficult. She cleaned up when he spit up, and in general, I felt he was in good hands with her.

Renee is amazing. Quickly got to know each of my three cats and gives each their own attention and time. One cat requires daily medicine and she is expert in getting it down him. She has my full trust and the cats love her. highly recommend her!!

Renee took great of our cat who needed medication and cleaning. She was always responsive and provided detailed updates with picture and videos which helped ease our nerves. When we came back, our cat did not seem stressed while we were away. It was obvious our cat was happy and comfortable around her. We will definitely try to book Renee again, and we highly recommed her.

Having Renee take care of our precious ones for a long weekend was the best decision we could have made. Renee was extremely attentive to our needs and sent us an incredible amount of updates that included photos and short videos of the kitties playing, being engaged, eating, etc. She also showed up exactly when we agreed with her and it was easy to get in touch with her at any time. Renee made sure that our cats not only got fed, but also got all the pets they needed as well as playtime. Renee also came out to meet our kitties a few weeks before the sitting and they loved her from the start. She has a considerable amount of experience taking care of pets and it shows. We will 100% be booking Renee again for our next trip and we could not recommend Renee more to anyone looking for peace of mind with their cat sitting.

This was a great experience. Renee was just outstanding. Above and beyond. Out very shy kittens actually came out to see her and Renee was able to work our automated wet food feeders which was a huge relief. The cats were happy, well fed and we got lots of pictures of them being interactive. Renee was very organised, incredibly competent and really friendly on top of it all. I will absolutely use Renee again, just a fantastic experience all round.

Renee did a wonderful job watching my cat Clio. Clio is elderly and can be difficult with strangers, but Renee was very patient and careful with her. Clio even warmed up to her more than I expected! Renee was also extremely reliable and great about providing updates. I will definitely book her again and recommend her highly.

I had a last minute trip and Renee had an opening, which was great because Goose was delighted to see her as if she had never left from my last trip! Five stars all around ❤️

We call Renee the Cat Whisperer. She has been able to connect with our very shy cat in a way that no other person sitter has. She is reliable and makes the extra effort.

Renee was awesome as ever, sending us constant updates on our kitties and staying beyond the paid time to ensure they got their playtime. Can't recommend her enough!

Renee was an outstanding cat visitor. She has a genuine affection for cats, understands their needs, and goes out of her way to be accommodating. I very much appreciated her detailed daily reports on my kitty and accompanying photos and videos. When I got home, I was delighted to see that the cat was in fine shape and evidently had barely missed me. I would definitely hire Renee again and feel lucky to have found her.

Renee again provided excellent care for our kitty. Our notoriously shy cat even came out to interact with her on 2 different visits. I think Renee may be the Cat Whisperer. 🐱

Renee treated my kitties as if they were her own. They got tons of attention and playtime and I received lots of pics and videos! I was able to relax and enjoy my time off knowing my feline loves were well taken care of. Will definitely use Renee again and wholeheartedly recommend her!

As usual, Renee did a great job. She followed all instructions and even got our cat to come take a treat from her, which is unusual. Our cat is quite aloof with most people (other than us), but Renee has a magic touch.

Renee was great! She followed all of my instructions. I appreciated that she sent me a message with photos of my kitty each day. I will definitely be calling on her again.

Renee is a true cat person, finding ways to bring out even shy, older cats. I also appreciated her reliability and organization. She raises the right questions and thinks through issues. This is a pro.

Renee is a pleasure and so good with the kitties! I think they may be disappointed when they see it’s me and not Renee coming through the door!

Without a doubt, Renee will be my go to for all of my future cat sitter needs. She was incredibly responsive during the reservation process, asking all of the questions and assuring me my cat would be in good hands. I absolutely loved the daily updates of pictures and videos with a recap of each visit. I had incredible piece of mind knowing that little guy was well taken care of while I was away.

Renee is such a sweetheart, we will most definitely be booking with her again! The amount of care and attention that she gave our cats goes above and beyond what we could have hoped for. She loved our cats like her own and made us feel so much better that they were being taken care of while we are away. Renee is the best and we would highly recommend her to everyone!

We had a fantastic experience with Renee watching our three cats—Nicky, Teddy, and Pickles—for a week. She was professional, caring, and gave us complete peace of mind. It was such a relief to know they were in such great hands. We highly recommend her!

This is my second time booking Renee and she is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend Renee if you need a sitter. she is kind and goes above and beyond. my cat Luna absolutely loves spending time with Renee.

Renee is the best! She is so attentive, caring, and thoughtful when watching our two cats. We could not be happier with her and highly recommend her services. She is timely, responsive, and clearly loves cats. She makes sure that they get pets, treat, and cuddles. If you want your cats well taken care of - book with Renee.

Renee was amazing and my cat loved her! she took great care of Luna and always updated me with pictures.

Renee is a very responsible cat sitter and did a fabulous job with my special needs. she takes great care to specialize the care to the animal. my kitty loved her.

Our cat was instantly charmed by Renee on first meeting, and so were we. She is fun and loving--perfectly perfect for a lonely cat when her owners are away. The joint portrait of Leilani and Renee that she sent is priceless. We will definitely be using Renee again!

Renee is wonderful. Thoughtful, detail-oriented, and patient with our difficult cat. She goes above and beyond.

There are not enough amazing things for us to say about Renee. The care and love she shows to our cats is unexplainable. We are beyond lucky to have her to watch our babies. She is the best truly! I cannot recommend her enough!

Renee was fantastic and very communicative.

Renee did a great job for us. She was reliable and communicative throughout our trip.

Renee was great, reliable, communicative, and supervised with my cats. Highly recommended.

Renee is a fantastic sitter--she's thoughtful, kind, and loving toward our precious kitty, who eagerly waits for her to visit. She takes great care of our house, too! We love her.

We absolutely love Renee. She goes above and beyond for our kitties!

Renee went above and beyond for my kitties! We will definitely be hiring her again!

I've known Renee for 20 years and for as long as I've known her she has had cats. I've seen her interact with her cats, as well as with mine, and as one would want in any cat sitter the love and respect of cats is just natural and honest with Renee. My kitties would curl up with Renee instead of me whenever she was at my house! I've always known Renee to be exceptionally responsible in the home, respectful of rules and very dependable.
