Pet care experience

Loving WFH home for your pup! 🐾

Hi, I'm Sayuj. As a lifelong animal lover, my home has always been filled with paws. After recently saying goodbye to my own sweet dogs, the house has felt incredibly empty. I deeply miss the companionship, the daily routines, and the pure joy a dog brings to a home. Opening my doors to your furry family members is a way for me to keep that passion for pet care alive, and I promise to treat your dog exactly like they were my own. ​Over the years, I've gained a wealth of hands-on experience. I lovingly cared for my Beagle for over 8 years, as well as a beautiful Beagle/Border Collie mix for 6 years. When I first got my dog, Rocky, he wasn't good with people, but I trained him from the ground up to help him become comfortable and trust them. Later, even when he had IVDD, I retaught him how to walk, so I know exactly what it's like working with a dog that needs deep attentiveness. I've also regularly dog-sat for large, energetic breeds, including German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Laboradors, and more! ​Currently, I run my own business and am actively searching for my next full-time role. This means I work from home right here in Woodridge and have a highly flexible schedule to dedicate to your pets. Because my home is currently pet-free, it offers a calm, safe environment where your dog will get my absolute undivided attention for boarding. I am also more than happy to house-sit at your place or drop in for visits. ​I would love nothing more than to shower your dog with the exact same level of devotion, patience, and love I gave my own.

Sayju was an amazing dog sitter! They took excellent care of our dog and made sure all of their needs were met. We appreciated the regular updates, photos, and the genuine care and attention they provided. It was clear that our dog felt comfortable, happy, and loved while we were away. Sayju was reliable, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire experience. We would gladly trust Sayju with our dog again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

I am diligent in making sure I follow all the owner's instructions in taking care of their dog. All dogs are different and are used to different things. That's why I want to make them feel at home and treat them as if their owners do. As a lifelong dog owner, I am used to keeping the home "dog-proof" and understand what is dangerous/can be dangerous for a dog and what isn't.

A typical day

I love playing with dogs! As an energetic, outdoorsman myself, I can keep up with your energetic pup. If the dog isn't that energetic, I can also make sure to adapt to them as well. I'll only exercise the dog as much as they and their owner are comfortable with. I also enjoy mental games for the dog as that tires them out even more and makes them sharper.

The most important information I need to know is their medical history. This is important so I understand what medication the dog needs on a daily basis. I also want to know their typical daily routine so I can mirror it as best as possible. Dogs are routine animals and I do not want to make them anxious by ruining their daily routine. This involves asking the owner when the dog typically goes on a walk, when he/she eats, when it's play time, when they sleep, etc.
