“Carol (Schejn’s mom) was great! Very flexible, easy going and kind. And even cooked some chicken for Sassy (my dog) because she’s anxious and may not eat when I leave her. Thanks Carol! And there’s lots of room for dogs to run.”

About: I formally go by Kai Shakur. I've been taking care of dogs ever since I was around 10 years old. Growing up, my family have always owned some type of dog from a pug, to shitzus, to pit bulls, and I've always found joy in caring for them, taking them on walks, bathing them, and just showing them love and affection. Being around animals have always brought me much joy, and although I'm unable to have my own pet right now, my love for them, and the pride and joy I get from being around them and caring for them is always there. I'm currently working a part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pups! I work short hours, and have the ability to stop in throughout my shift to walk and feed them as needed, and also have a partner who helps to care for them as needed! I'm still open to boarding full time, and doggy daycare on my off days. I offer simple companionship, as well as walks, baths/grooming, feeding, and any other daily needs specific to your animal. I am always open to working with dogs with disabilities, as well as puppies and seniors.
“Bella loved her stay and playing with John' pup Maddie. John was awesome! Bella took right to him and he was very attentive to Bella's needs. Bella is older and suffers from kidney disease but that did not deter John. I definitely recommend John and will be using his services in the future.”
“Absolutely wonderful! Daniel, and his wife were the absolute best w/ our baby. They were sweet and patient with her, and Azura was right at home with them. I highly recommend them! Many thanks to them for being such great hoomans! :-)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. But I’ve cared for my dog Tickle for 12 years now. I trained him as a puppy and care for him in his old age. I can do it all!! I’ve also cared for cats and fostered cats. I can administer medication, give baths, clean litter boxes, go for walks, and more! I am currently out of work and so I’m pretty available through out the week. I babysit sometimes but it’s usually once a week and very random. I am very careful with animals!! I know taking care of my older dog I take it very serious about what he eats. I know different animals have different rules. Also.. ANIMALS NEED LOVE!! I can give them love so they don’t feel lovely, take them for walks, give them treats and food, and anything else that is needed.

About: I had a successful dog sitting/walking business in the past. I personally have raised and owned small ,medium and XL dogs from a dachshund to a St Bernard. I currently have an Italian Greyhound who is 11 and senior Shih Tzu who is 17 . I also have Golden Retriever, Beagle and Corgi grand-dogs who I have taken care of when their parents are away. I have plenty of time to care for your loved dog or cat. I can come early morning, afternoon ,evening and late night or I can stay at your home.

My home will become their home away from home. My dog loves having new friends come over!
“Samantha is absolutely wonderful!!! She watched our dog at her home for an entire day and he was able to play in her nicely fenced yard. He was able to play with her dogs, which he does not get to do as we live in an HOA. I plan on using Samantha in the future when we need someone to care for our dog. I highly recommend her!!!”
“Samantha and her fiancée took great care of my dog, Heidi. They asked good questions and sent nice updates of her throughout the day. Their dog, Taz, is sweet and playful. I would recommend Samantha - thank you!”
“I am in town trying to relocate and my dog Kona started having anxiety when I left. Since I am staying at my sisters condo I couldn't leave her howling. Irene quickly answered my request and took great care of Kona. She sent me pictures throughout the day of Kona just chilling. I am very happy and will use her again.”

Shakya S.Star Sitter
“I've seen Shakya care for dogs in all kinds of situations — from one-on-one walks to handling three dogs at once with ease. Their ability to connect and communicate with dogs is amazing. Even as someone who used to be a little scared of dogs, being around Shakya and seeing how calm and in tune they are with animals has helped me become much more open and comfortable. They truly have a gift, and any pet would be lucky to be in their care. Pet parents can absolutely trust that their furry friend will be safe, happy, and well-loved with Shakya.”

Jessi B.
“Jessi always had love for animals ever since we were little kids. Every time he spotted a stray cat or dog he would stop everything he was doing to do everything in his power to help them, for some reason as if he knew he would come across a stray he always kept food and water in a backpack in case he would come across a dog or cat. He always preferred to be around animals instead of friends or family members, they are truly his life.”
