Hi there, 

I am Renata, a soon-to be PhD student located in Richmond. Since most of my research and writing happens from home, my days are very flexible. I realised I'd much rather fill those breaks with wagging tails and furry company than staring at my own four walls, which is why I'd love to help you out with your pets.

I grew up in a house that was never without animals: cats, dogs, rabbits, the whole menagerie. I have owned a gorgeous Hungarian Kuvasz, Albert (a massive, fluffy shepherd breed) whom I trained and walked from puppyhood. So I'm completely at home with big personalities and strong pulls on the lead. Pets were always part of my home growing up, and I also volunteered walking dogs for the RSPCA.

Between my research hours, I have plenty of flexibility for midday walks, drop-in visits, or even just sitting with your cat while you're away. I know how stressful it is to leave your pet or your home, so I pride myself on being reliable, calm, and communicative: expect plenty of photo updates if required, so you never have to wonder how they're doing.

I'm outdoorsy and love a good hike, but I'm equally happy with a gentle break or a quiet session. Whatever your pet needs, I'll treat them like my own. Looking forward to meeting your furry family members!
