Eat Play Love's Founder Renee sits with dogs on her lap.

Hi, I’m Renee!

I’m the kind of person who will not travel unless I know my pets are in good hands and, on more occasions than I can count, that has meant I’ve had to stay home!

That’s why I created Eat Play Love - so folks like you and me can travel without worry, knowing your pets are going to be treated like family the entire time!

I am a certified crazy dog lady myself, and so I know it take more than a little bit of food and water to keep pets happy.

When you leave your pets with Eat Play Love, you can trust they’ll receive lots of loving, full access to the furniture (as long as you allow that!), an abundance of attention, and so many opportunities to play that they’ll be begging for you to go on vacation more often!

“Renee has taken care of my 2 cats and dog several times. She keeps me updated periodically while I’m away. She eases my mind if I’m missing them or worried how they are doing. They are always in good hands. Superb communication and ease of planning. Thanks again!.” - Julianne, Mom to Luna the Austrailian Shephard

"Eat-Play-Love was recommended by a friend when I needed someone to care for my Westie while taking a vacation. Kenzie spent several days in doggie daycare to get used to the household prior to my vacation, and Renee eased all of my fears by sending photos and videos showing that Kenzie was fine and playing with the other dogs. I couldn't bear to leave my pup in a kennel, so having her spend days and nights in Renee's home was the perfect answer. Highly recommend." - Nancy, Mom to Kenzie the Westie

“Had a great experience boarding my 1.5 year old puppy for 10 days. He's an energetic puppy and I worried about him while on vacation, but he was in good hands. Lots of exercise space. Lots of attention to specific dietary & behavioral needs. The hardest part was getting my dog to want to leave with me.” - Rachel, Mom to Crypto the Shih Tzu

What our friends are saying!

  • Illustration of customer dog, Roxy the beagle

    Chuning, Mom to Oliver the Long-Haired Dachshund

    “My dog went to Renee's for daycare for the past months and absolutely loved going there. Renee is so caring and helpful, she took wonderful care of my dog Oliver and didn't mind his clinginess. I would recommend Renee to everyone. She is very flexible with hours and genuinely loves all the fur babies. Also, my dog got along with her dogs and other boarders very well.”

    Donna, Mom to Wally the Westie and Oliver the Cat

    “I have been using Renee for pet sitting at home for several years. My 2 fur babies love her as she gives them lots of attention & walks. She is very attentive & sends pictures often. I highly recommend her for great care of your pets.”

  • Christi, Mom to Sophie the Pup

    “Renee has been watching my dogs the past couple summers while I am on vacation. She is very organized and on point. She sends pics of your puppies while she is watching them. I would highly recommend her to watch or board your fur babies.”

  • Diane, Mom to Penny the Poodle and Sophie the Cockapoo

    Renee has been watching our two girls since 2019. We are incredibly thankful to have Renee house sit for us. One of our girls can be difficult, Renee has no problems managing her. Renee is great at communicating with updates and pictures while we are on vacation. Having Renee puts our minds at ease while we are away, she truly is the best!

  • Emily, Mom to Nala the Shih Tzu and Kash the Mini Goldendoodle

    “We love Renee and so do our dogs! We have 2 dogs who went for doggie day care and go there every time we go away. They usually don't want to come home! We always get pictures and updates…Would definitely recommend!”

  • Matt, Dad to Goose and Charlie the Golden Retrievers

    Renee started dogsitting for me while I was at work the week after I brought my new puppy home. She always took great care of him (spoiled him) and made sure everything was a good fit for him and made accommodations for my varied work schedule often.

    She would always communicate when she was unavailable or when other dogs would also be present to make sure I felt comfortable with him being there. Because of that, I had no reservations when deciding to get another dog as a companion for my first dog.

    Her dogs are great with other dogs and tolerated sharing the attention well. My dogs also spent multiple nights with her when I had to go out of town, and I had no concerns regarding their care and would get updates frequently.

    I recently relocated for a new job which broke her heart, but I know she will care for your dog just as much.

  • Paula, Mom to Piper the Pomeranian and Toby the Terrier

    We have been using Eat-Play-Love Professional Pet Care for nearly 6 years and have had only the very best experience with them. Our Pomeranian & Terrier dogs get to stay in their home, have regular meals, and get lots of love while we are away. We can enjoy our vacation knowing that our pets are in wonderful hands. So glad to have found this pet sitting service! We love you!!
