About: I grew up with 3 cats and have also taken care of many cats and dogs for my friends in Chicago. I am experienced with giving medication and also currently volunteer at an animal shelter with both cats and dogs. I am hybrid so at home Mondays and Fridays as well as available in the evenings Tuesday-Thursdays. I am also free on the weekends all day if needed. I have no pets of my own and my whole place is available for your pet to roam in if they stay overnight. They are welcome to sharing my bed and cuddles anytime as well!

“Nayane was great! She walked Blue on time and was very communicative all week. She was also so patient with Blue’s little nervous quirks! She was a big help for me and I will definitely reach out to Nayane again in the future.”


“Namira has been amazing with my dog, Bella! She has been reliable taking Bella for a lunch time walk every day while I am at work, and is willing to travel to take Bella out.

Owners know their babies are in the best hands because I give all my attention to their pets and communicate as much as I can to allow them peace of mind while traveling. I have taken care of both dogs and cats for years, having had a pomapoo and two wonderful kitties myself! I am very active and go on multiple long walks a day, so I can’t wait to add your companion to my daily walks!

Whether they need cuddle time, a long walk, or fetch in the dog park, I am excited to meet the needs of your wonderful pet! I am extremely trustworthy, reliable, and punctual.

I am off from my orchestra for the summer, so I have all the time in the world to take care of your wonderful pets!

About: Hi there! I’m Yuqing — a devoted dog sitter and proud dog mom who’s been lovingly caring for pets for friends, neighbors, and coworkers for years. I treat every dog as if they were my own, believes every pup deserves to feel safe, seen and spoiled (just a little 😀) and I know how important it is to feel at ease while you’re away. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, or needs extra TLC, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and completely at home. My own pup joined me two years ago, and since then, I’ve deepened my understanding of what it takes to care for dogs with attentiveness, patience, and lots of love. Clients have called me “one of the best sitters they’ve ever had,” praising my flexibility, real-time updates, and thoughtful care. Whether your pup needs extra play, quiet time, or belly rubs, I tailor the experience just for them. 🏡 What Your Pup Can Expect My home is clean, calm, and dog-safe — partial fenced area, tidy, and designed with dogs in mind. I (and my husband) only care for 2 or 3 pets at a time so that your pup gets my full attention and never feels overwhelmed or overlooked. • 🛏 Safe, cozy, and clean environment No loose cords, no unsafe snacks, no loud noises at the corner of the floor. Your pup will have access to a quiet room for naps, big soft beds, and sunny corners to lounge in. • 🕒 Personalized routine From morning potty breaks to evening wind-downs, I follow your dog’s schedule so they stay happy and regulated. • 🐾 Thoughtful companionship My small bichon dog is gentle and well-socialized — the perfect sidekick for dogs who enjoy company but also respect personal space. • 📸 Frequent photo & video updates You’ll receive sweet snapshots and frequent honest updates so you can relax knowing your pup is doing well. Whether it’s a quick check-in or an overnight stay, I make sure your dog gets structure, comfort, and love. ⸻ ✨ Tailored Care for All Kinds of Dogs Every dog is different — and I love that! I take the time to get to know your pup’s unique needs and style so they feel understood and loved. • 🐕🦺 For shy or anxious dogs: Calm introductions, soft music, friendly touches depending on his or her acceptance and a quiet space to settle in • 🐕 For high-energy pups: Walks, tug time, puzzle feeders, enrichment toys, and games • 🧸 For cuddlebugs: Snuggle time, lap naps, and cozy rest spots • 🍽 For picky eaters or special diets: Portion control, slow-feeders, and close medication tracking • 👵 For senior sweethearts: Short walks, orthopedic beds, and gentle attention • 🧽 Post-walk refresh: Paw wipes, tidy-ups, light brushing (with your okay!) ⸻ 📝 Help Me Get to Know Your Dog Before your pup’s stay, please share: • 🕒 Their daily schedule (feeding, walks, sleep) • ⚡️ Energy level and play style • 🧠 Favorite toys or comfort items • 🐶 Behavior around dogs and people • 🚫 Triggers, quirks, or calming techniques • 💊 Any medical needs, allergies, or medications The more I know, the more I can make them feel completely at home. ⸻ 🏠 Tailored Services 🐕🦺 Boarding (In-Home Stays) Your dog becomes part of our home! They’ll enjoy a calm environment, structured routine, and lots of play, rest, and one-on-one love. With my own pup as a gentle companion and a small fenced area for safe exploring, your dog will have the perfect mix of fun and ⸻ 🧺 Doggy Day Care Each pup gets a full day of enrichment, whether that means energetic walks, mental stimulation with toys, or a cozy corner for lounging. I keep a close eye on nap windows, bathroom breaks, feeding schedules, and mood — making sure your pup feels happy, calm, and cared for from drop-off to pick-up. • ✅ Midday potty breaks & short walks • ✅ Calm rest periods and optional crate time (if you use one) • ✅ Interactive toys and gentle play with my dog (if a good match) • ✅ Personalized feeding or medication as needed • ✅ Real-time updates and photos so you stay in the loop Whether your dog is a social butterfly or prefers a quiet buddy system, I tailor their day to feel just right. ⸻ 🚶♀️ Dog Walking Whether your pup prefers a high-energy sniff-and-stride or a slow-paced neighborhood stroll, I tailor walks to their energy and age. I focus on safety, leash manners, and joy — and you’ll always get a post-walk update and photos! ⸻ 🏡 Drop-In Visits Just need a check-in while you’re away? I’ll stop by for potty breaks, playtime, fresh water, and feeding if needed. Each visit is customized — whether it’s a quick energy burst or a calm cuddle session — and includes plenty of love and attention. ⸻ 🛏 House Sitting Your dog stays in their own familiar space, and I come to them. I keep their routine consistent — feeding, walking, cuddling — and also care for your home as if it were my own. Ideal for pups who get anxious in new environments. ⸻ 🐾 Puppy Care I adore puppies and understand how important consistency and patience are during these formative months. I follow your potty training, crate routines, and socialization goals, all while giving your puppy the structure, boundaries, and play they need to thrive. ⸻ 📩 Let’s chat! I’d love to hear about your pup and how I can help. Whether you’re looking for a reliable long-term sitter or a one-time getaway solution, I’m here to provide peace of mind — and lots of tail wags. I am available all day on weekends, Mondays and Fridays, also after work on weekdays. I often provide care for friends who have last minute or emergency trips. I have a small dog at home so would love to add another friend to my own. I have a cozy fenced space at home for my own dog. I provide regular feeding time, cuddles, playtime supervisions throughout the day. I sleep with my dog at night so I usually keep all space very clean. I am mindful of each pets personality and adjust accordingly.
