About: I have taken care of service dogs for 2 years in college now as part of the service dog club. I have taken care of puppies and old dogs so you’re in good hands. I’m working remote as a software engineer for a start up so I’m fully available for any time and any schedule that works for you. I live in a great suburb for tons of space for any sized dog to walk and play and tons of space inside as well.

Megan was great with my dog! She sent lots of pictures and I could tell my dog was having the best time ever. Megan was an excellent communicator and so easy to work with. I will book with again and recommend others do as well.

Kim is patient and loving and Frankie enjoyed his long walk and time playing in the large fenced in yard. We are so happy that we found Kim to watch our puppy when we have family outings. Thank you so much!

Naomi & Johann J. will always be our 1st choice to watch Javy whenever we need to leave him with anyone. They sent many photos and reassuring messages about Javy’s eating all of his food…he wouldn’t have eaten anything, had he been stressed about being there. Wonderful pup watchers!

Can’t say enough great things about Balaji and his wife, & let’s not forget their sweet furry child, Mocha! Who has become such a best friend to our Penny. We are incredibly happy with their hosting of our doodle. Their communication, updates (pics/vidoes) is truly incredible! They are understanding with work schedules and do their utmost to accommodate. I also really appreciate all of the walks that Penny enjoys with Mocha! Huge benefit to her health. Thank you again! Excited for next time!

About: I grew up with a dog and loved him very much. He passed away, and the family has not yet gotten another, but I miss caring for a dog. I love all dogs and cats of any size and any animal, for that matter. I am incredibly attentive to animals and always love giving them care, even when they are not mine. I am almost always home and able to pet sit through the day and overnight. I am currently in college, but taking classes online, so I am constantly available to tend to your pet's needs. I am a very active person who can take your pet on walks or runs more than once each day if need be. If your pet enjoys resting, I will also do it with them as I complete work on my computer and will pay close attention to them or snuggle with them if it's what they like. I will care for each pet depending on their specific needs, whether they need to have walks, use the bathroom often, or receive personal care. My home is very safe for pets, as it was already set up for a dog in the past with carpeted stairs and a yard to play in. The yard has a fence around part of it, but it is still open, so if I take your pet outside to play, I will use a leash and keep them in the yard safely separated from any danger. The only other person living in the home will be my mother, who is also an animal lover, but is generally at work during weekdays.

Thank you Dee for wonderful care you provided to Nikita while we were gone. I felt confident and calm that you would take great care of her!

Thank you so much for accepting my booking at the last minute — I truly appreciate it! 😊 Thank you also for taking such good care of Nysa and making sure she was fed, even though she can be a little stubborn sometimes. That really means a lot to me. I felt very comfortable leaving her with you, and I would definitely love to have Nysa stay with you again next time! 🐾

Debbie has a lovely home and my dear pups were treated like honored guests. The meet and greet let me know Jasper and Millie were in good hands. Debbie’s entire family welcomed our dogs. I felt like I had an entire team to meet their needs with Debbie as captain. I appreciated the photos and texts to know our family pets were In good hands. It was a terrific experience and gives me great peace to know I can work late or plan an adventure and our beautiful pups will be in loving hands. Very grateful.
