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.

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: I’ve taken care of or have had animals since I was a child. Currently I have a cat named Ida who is very sweet & affectionate. Currently I work from home & attend online grad school.

I have a cat named Ida who is welcoming to new animals inside our home. I allow animals on my bed and furniture.

About: I have several years of experience in the biomedical research field where I took care of mice. Administering drugs was a daily task for me. I have also taken care of my romantic partners' pets throughout the years. I am vegan now for several years, so I am deeply committed to treating animals well. I just completed my first cat boarding service, and I discovered that I am very happy taking care of pets at home. I am excited to start hosting more pets! I work from home, so it will be convenient for me to care for your pet(s) throughout the day. I am a freelancer, so I make my own schedule. I can make my schedule around your pets' needs! I maintain a clutter free home where your pet(s) can run inside! There's plenty of light with windows in all rooms. I am vegan for the animals, so you can trust me that I will care for your pet(s) to the best of my ability!


“Monica and Calvin were wonderful dog-sitters for our one-year-old frenchton. Thankfully, they met with us in advanced to make sure that we and our puppy would be comfortable with them and vice versa. They sent multiple status updates during the day including photos and even suggested ways of helping our puppy relieve with his digestion issues. Overall, they were excellent and we will definitely rebook them in the future.”

“My German Shepherd Levon had such a wonderful time with Andrew on our first visit that we immediately booked him for 2 more days! The communication with Andrew was great, a truly wonderful experience overall. I would most certainly recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter.”



“Vick is the best! Flexible, easy to communicate with, super nice, dependable, thoughtful, and caring! Best of all, he treated my old, anxious, nearly blind dog with kindness and expertise. She really loved staying at his house. It's obvious that he really loves and understands dogs. He's an amazing dog sitter. Thank you!”

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.”
