“Edward was perfect for our energetic dog! He was very professional and makes sure that all the dogs that stay with him are up to date on their vaccinations, which made me feel better knowing that Ollie would be around other dogs! I would highly recommend!”
“Kathy is amazing. Isabel can be timid when she goes to a new place, but she walked into Kathy's like she lived there. Made it much easier to leave my fur baby for daycare.”
“What a gem! I was VERY nervous leaving him as he’s quite old and currently needs his activity curtailed due to back problems. She kept in frequent contact and sent many pics. I would highly recommend!”
“Erin was wonderful with Zoe. Zoe had a great time playing with some other dogs and enjoying her walks along lovely tree covered sidewalks. I couldn’t have found a better place for Zoe to spend her day”
About: As a seasoned Chihuahua mom and experienced dog fosterer, I have cared for over 30+ Chihuahuas (four being my own) and have been passionate about their well-being since I adopted my first Chihuahua at 19. I have a deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs, and I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care for your furry friends. Is your pet anxious? Do they need their food bowl held while they eat? Do they prefer it heated up with a lil sprinkle of parmesan? I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing or two. My work schedule is flexible, so I'm around more than I'm not. If you choose to board while I am working, your pet will be safely secure in your chosen method (crate, play yard, bathroom etc). All come with access to food, water and a potty pad as well as any lovies or toys. Vacationers have the option to mingle with the locals or stay in their own gated suite. Meals are based on each pup's personal preferences. Hand fed, heated up, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese are just some of the perks that come with staying at Aunt Shelli's AirBnB
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over six years, including my own Husky-German Shepherd mix Misky, who has taught me so much about energy, loyalty, and communication. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, bathing, and understanding different dog personalities and needs. I’m also very comfortable with cats and understand their unique temperaments. Friends and neighbors trust me with their pets because I treat them like family. I’m currently working part-time at the Student Activity Center at CMU, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! As an extrovert, I bring positive energy and easily bond with animals and people alike. Pets love being around me because I make sure they feel engaged, happy, and loved. I’m available for any pet services all week (unless i’m booked or busy, which should show up on my profile). I dont plan on working a lot of hours this summer so you can pretty much book me anytime! I have a secure, fenced yard at my apartment for doggies. My apartment has all the amenities for both cats and dogs. I also live with my girlfriend so the times where i’m at work/busy, she cares for the pets so they’re not alone for extended periods of time. I’m experienced in supervising playtime, offering structure, and making sure every pet feels safe and welcome. I can easily crate your dog if needed and follow any specific care instructions you provide. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities.
“Jennifer was awesome as always. This was our second time using her services. She is great with communication and she tired our puppies out with walks, playtime with other dogs, and just giving them so much love. She really treats them like family. She is great at reading dog behavior and she goes above and beyond meeting thier needs. We will definitely be our first choice anytime we need someone to watch our pups!”
About: I grew up with dogs. My siblings and I were entrusted to take good care of our own dog since we were toddlers to train us to be responsible. I treat dogs as a gentle member of the family, like a child who needs parental love, care, protection and provision. My friends and family fully entrust to me their dogs, to play with them, walk, feed and even groom them. I had experience in taking care from puppy days to senior and sickly days. I enjoy taking dogs for a walk, play with them, give belly rubs and make sure that they are hydrated, fed on time and clean as dogs are welcome on our furnitures and bed. We have a fence for dogs to play outdoors. If you need a safe and happy home for your furbabies while you are away, we welcome them in our home and will be treated as our own family member. My dog and I are home most of the time, and we are thrilled to share that time and our tender loving care with your furbaby while staying at our place. I have a fenced yard for dogs in a safe and quiet neighborhood. I have one cuddly dog to give your furbaby company and makes his/her stay comfortable. I have a regular schedule when it comes to feeding, potty runs, walk and play time with dogs.
“Blythe was very accommodating. She took us as a fairly last minute booking since we had a funeral and my previous sitter had just moved away. My pickup estimate was off and she was kind enough to keep Grokii an hour or two longer than expected even though it coincided with putting her kids to bed. Her kids are absolutely adorable and I know Grokii was doted on because he slept almost the entire next day. Great family - highly recommend!”
“Jennifer is friendly, helpful, and did great with my boy. He was very happy and seemed like he made himself right at home. I got plenty of updates and pictures during his stay and she was very understanding and helpful even when I needed help last minute. I brought him back for a second time and he got super excited as we were pulling up so he must’ve loved it there ❤️”
About: From puppies and kittens. Senior dogs and cats and everything in between I have experience with. Uhm basically whatever their routine is just let me know and I can accommodate. Any special request just ask me and most likely will accommodate. I can give real time updates as needed just let me know. I treat someone's pet as my own. Please let me know your pets preferences. Thank you. Again pet care would fit into my routine via way of getting to know and knowing your pets routine. This will be my main focus. I take into consideration the pets needs and basically focus on that in an environment. Basically I just let them rest or do what it is they like to do daily.
“Christin is amazing! She watches our puppy Newfie everyday and sends lots of pictures throughout the day. She has helped us introduce Newfie to many new experiences, has helped with potty training, and has been working with him at walking on a leash. Newfie loves her and has made friends with the other doggies. We highly recommend her!”

(Please ALWAYS consult your vet - Michelle just knows my Chihuahuas THAT well. She's the Chihuahua-whisperer!)”

Bennet A.Star Sitter
“Bennet loves dogs and goes above and beyond for them. She has her own dog named Winted which is a shih tzu - Poodle mix. You can just tell how much Bennet loves and care for dogs by how her own dog, Winter smells. Winter smells really good and does not smell like a dog. His coat is very smooth and often gets a lots of complement from others people who sees them when they go on walks. Winter is also very disciplined, knows how to pray before meals and knows how to wait for his food or to be let out. Bennet is very kind, approachable and loves to be with dogs, you can easily tell by just looking at her dog Winter. Your dog will be safe and will be in good hands with Bennet.”
