About: I've been taking care of pets since the I was 12. My family and I have had one english bulldog. Currently we have two french bulldogs, so I understand the importance of the care of bulldogs as well as Chihuahuas! I have always been the go to person to care for and groom our pets. I'm currently in college full time. However, it is online so I have a lot of time to play, walk, and give love to your pets! I have a fenced yard as well as two dogs to play with your pets. I also have one cat. I live close to the Mckinley Park area so there will be a lot of walks.

About: I grew up with family dogs and have had mine since he was 8 weeks old (he will be 16 years old this August!). Experience with puppies through senior dogs. Large breeds and small! Would love to take care of yours. I work full time from home, so I have ample amount of time to hang out with your pups (no matter the age, dogs are forever pups in my eyes!). I have an almost 16 year old pup who naps most of the day but is always excited for his walks! I live in a low traffic area and just down the street from a fenced grass area we play in. In case there’s rain, I have a covered area to take the pups out so they still get some fresh air.

“David took excellent care of our dog, Maaya, during the work day. Response from David was quick, drop off/pick up and communication with David was easy, and he sent regular updates through out the day. He also made sure to ask about food, treats, etc and kept me up to date on her breaks after the stay. Maaya is excited to return for future play dates with David and his dogs! Would highly recommend!”


“Trey var helt fantastisk med mina valpar och de var båda väldigt nöjda efter en dag med Trey. Han var engagerad och duktig med valparna. Det skickades uppdateringar och bilder på hundarna som uppskattades. Jag rekommenderar dagpassning med Trey! 🥰”


About: Looking for a dog sitter with a passion for pups and years of experience? I’ve not only been a dog mom for 14 years, but recently assisting in training the now 6 month old puppy that’s in my parent’s care. I’m the #1 dog sitter amongst my network, not only because I work from home and have availability, but because I also include their fur babies in my dog’s activities as well i.e. dog park dates, dog birthday parties, and doggie brunch! I’m a full- time remote employee with a very relaxed work schedule. Your pet will be spending the majority of their time in my care. I have a fenced front yard and a patio along with one 22lbs dog that will keep your pet company. I also have a lot of space to allow the dog to move around as they would like.

About: Hi! This is Xinwen. I’ve been living with pets since I was a kid. I’m currently a volunteer at Anti-Cruelty shelter to help both dogs and cats, and I’m proud of it. I WFH and have plenty of time to take your pets out/ play at home. I’m very familiar with pets’ behaviors and could tell what they want: attentions, some alone time, an exciting hunting game…., by their body language. I keep track of their eating patterns and defecation performance, as those are important and straight forward reflections of their moods and health conditions. By these experiences I could give them more accurate cares. Also, I guarantee that I report the real conditions of your babies, instead of pretending they’re doing great just to win your approval. I respect them as human beings. :) I love both dogs and cats. I enjoy spending time with them. Also, I’m very patient and careful. I’ll make sure that your pet(s) get what they need and feel loved! I’m free to arrange drop-ins or walks every workday 7:00-8:00pm. I’m available for boarding and day care every day. Other flexible hours can be discussed with me too! I’m available for drop-ins and overnight stay in your home. I always make sure to provide them fresh food and water, clean the litter box and play/walk with them.

About: • Lifelong pet owner with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments • Comfortable with feeding schedules, medication administration, and special dietary needs • Experience with crate training, basic commands, and leash manners • Knowledge of dog body language and signs of stress or illness • Confident with high-energy breeds and senior dogs alike • Able to handle multiple pets at once • Regularly walk dogs in safe, dog-friendly neighborhoods and parks • Provide both high-energy walks and relaxed strolls tailored to your dog’s needs • Keep dogs mentally stimulated through sniff walks and playtime • Familiar with using different harnesses, leashes, and walking tools • Keep your pets comfortable in their own home with regular check-ins and companionship • Maintain routines for feeding, potty breaks, and bedtime • Provide updates, photos, and videos so you always know your pet is in good hands • Water plants, bring in mail, and keep your home tidy while you’re away • Comfortable with litter box cleaning, feeding, and playtime • Experience with shy or anxious cats—patient and gentle • Can care for small pets like rabbits, hamsters, or birds I’m available any day and time that works best for you—except Sunday mornings. On Sundays, I’m free after 3:00 PM. Whether you need early morning walks, mid-day drop-ins, or evening snuggles, I’ve got you covered! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine consistent so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I respect the home, clean up after the pets, and always keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I make sure they have a clean, cozy space to relax and feel at home. I provide regular walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions. I also pay close attention to how they’re adjusting to a new environment and take extra care to make them feel calm, loved, and secure. Whether your pet is high-energy or low-key, I adjust to their needs and treat them like family.

“Willy was amazing with my pup! I love that he has the skill to assist me with my 11wk pup with potty training. Very attentive with my baby and a lot of play time!

K9 UniversityLocal facility
“My dog has been going to K9 University for about 8 years. When I’m out of town or not I take him there for doggy daycare. They take care of his grooming. I also have enrolled my dog into their classes for nose work, agility and obedience and my dog absolutely loves it. I am also satisfied with the results and experience of K9 University INC. Their staff members are well trained and they all practice the same delivery of services, for instance, what one staff members provide in quality customer services so does the remaining 5 staff members, therefore the quality you receive from this company isn’t compromised; moreover, they go above and beyond. They are all very professional and possess a wonderful attitude – they look very happy to be there. I’ll most definitely recommend using K9 University INC.”

Lisette S.Star Sitter
“I hired Lisette to walk and care for my 6 year old golden retriever/pit bull mix rescue dog Lucy whenever I would go out of town for business. Lisette is the daughter of my co-worker, the first time she met my best friend Lucy, Lucy was a bit standoffish due to her being uneasy around strangers. After a few hours Lucy loved Lisette and felt comfortable around her. Lisette would care for Lucy for 2 weeks every month while I was away, she would send me daily pictures of their walks or when they were just hanging out. Sometimes Lucy wouldn't want to leave Lisette's apartment. Although I don't travel as much I still employ Lisette to walk Lucy just so that Lucy can see her good friend Lisette. I definitely recommend Lisette to care for your 4 legged friends. Lisette would also watch over my 3 year old cat Benito. Although Benito does not need much maintenance Lisette always makes time to play with him and ensures he eats his food. Lisette also recommended for me to add water to his wet food to ensure he drinks more water for health reasons. I cannot recommend Lisette enough, she is good at what she does, I have also recommended her to other friends who do not have time to walk tbeir 4 legged friends.”
