Renee Chalfant
Owner
I am Renee Chalfant, the heart, hands, and steady presence behind Yo Mama Cares. For more than 30 years, I have lived in my clients’ homes, shared their daily routines, and cared for their pets as if they were my own. My background includes organic raw pet nutrition, close collaboration with veterinarians, and hands-on care for animals requiring daily medications, injections, or IV support.
Clients trust me with more than their pets. I manage household rhythms—sorting mail, handling laundry and light cleaning, coordinating with gardeners and maintenance teams, and monitoring security systems—so homes remain safe, orderly, and well cared for. I intentionally limit my schedule to a small number of long-term families, allowing me to deeply understand each pet, property, and personal preference.
If you are looking for a calm, discreet professional who will be fully present while you are away, I would love to meet you.

Clean FBI checks, long-term references, and meticulous confidentiality create steady confidence.

Scent-free presence, organic products, and custom nutrition protect sensitive pets and homes.
Personalization
Limited clients, detailed routines, and tailored support match your family's exact needs.
My Path To Trusted Care
My journey began with a single client who could not find anyone she trusted. I cared for her dogs and home, we built a deep bond, and we are still friends 20 years later. Word spread through our small town, local veterinarians began referring clients, and I discovered how much peace it brings people to know one steady, reliable person is protecting their pets and home.
Experience You Can Rely On
I bring over 30 years of hands-on experience with pets, households, and finances. I have owned an organic raw pet food company, worked closely with veterinarians, and cared for animals needing daily medications and IVs, sometimes for a year at a time. I have also managed resort homes up to 10,000 square feet, including daily banking and vendor coordination, so clients can travel knowing every detail at home is handled thoughtfully.
How I Care
I limit my schedule to a small number of long-term families, which lets me offer true 24 hour presence with absences of only a few hours. I live scent free, do not use alcohol, and prefer organic products, which fits well in wellness focused homes. Daily photo updates, clear communication, and quiet respect for your privacy guide everything I do so you can relax while I care for what you love.
