About: Welcome to Your Pup’s Home Away from Home! With over 15 years of hands-on experience handling dogs of all breeds—from tiny Chihuahuas to powerful Presa Canario Mastiffs—I’m proud to offer personalized, in-home dog daycare and boarding. As the devoted fur dad of three well-socialized Chiweenies, I understand the importance of a safe, loving, and enriching environment for your dog. Whether your pup is playful or shy, high-energy or high-anxiety, they’ll receive patient, one-on-one care and all the affection they deserve. Dogs in my home are treated like family: they’re welcome on the furniture, get plenty of snuggles, and are never short on attention. It would be my honor to be your fur baby’s temporary human while you’re away! My current availability is extremely accommodating with plenty of time to play with and walk your pups. I'll even board on weekends and holidays with same-day reservations. I have three chi-weenies that enjoy a fenced yard, front and back. If needed, I can easily and comfortably crate your pups but they are welcome to be next to me on the sofa or wherever.

About: I’ve taken care of dozens of pets and completed over 1000 services including Sitting and dog walkings. That includes any dogs and cats with sick ailments and otherwise difficult parameters. I’ve also worked at a pet shop before so if you have a particular concern or need for a pet feel free to ask never hurts. I usually walk a mix of different dogs, depending on the week usually larger breeds that are difficult to handle, but I also work with smaller pets that are shy, including cats. I also deal with a sub category of pets that are on medication or older. I have experience with a number of different pets and medication along with certain ailments so feel free to ask me any questions you may have. When it comes to the settings, I usually go off instructions provided by the pet parent as specific as possible to avoid not meeting their requirements. I also tend to act very courteous as most pet parents have a camera so I’m always acting like I’m being watched on TV. It’s better that way, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

About: My wise childhood dog taught me all how to respect boundaries and the unconditional love and support they bring to our lives. I have learned and aided my dogs labor process to 6 puppies. I am currently off for the summer and have the availability to meet new furry personalities! I am also available weekends if needed. Ready for the new adventures. I own my home so there will be no worries on them not being able to be comfortable. I have a fenced gate and a park less then half a block away. My dogs have a routine of eating twice a day with a balanced kibble, chicken, and vegetable meal.

“Cristian is great! We needed some help with lunchtime walks 3x a week for a couple months after a foot surgery, and we feel so lucky to have found Cristian. He is super communicative, took great pics every visit, and wrote up thorough notes about our girl. He is super patient with our high energy girl, and would even jog with her on some days to tire her out! We highly recommend Cristian and will definitely be reaching out to him in the future when we need a dogwalker!”


About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I had the joy of having a Pomeranian as my first furry companion, and over the years, I’ve fostered many dogs, each with their own unique personality and charm. Most recently, I cared for my senior dog, who was the sweetest and most loving soul. Losing him was heartbreaking, but it deepened my understanding of the unconditional love and care dogs especially for seniors bring to our lives. As life got busier, I realized how challenging it can be for dog moms and dads to balance work and giving their pups the attention they deserve. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to help! With my dog care services, I aim to provide love, care, and attention to your fur babies while you’re away. Every dog deserves to feel safe, happy, and cherished, and I’m here to make that happen for your four-legged family members. I am currently working part time while studying! Being with your pets not only helps you but me too! I miss my dog very much so I am very happy to help anyone fur babies when they need. I have the time to walk and play with your dog or cat (: At your home I’ll make sure they are comfortable with much pats on the belly! Very well taken care of! Making sure always on leash and picking up after them.

About: I’m great with communication and patience. I have experience taking care of small-big dogs for years whether it be for family members, my own and to even taking care of a bearded dragon for a few months for school. Nonetheless I do my research beforehand and offer a safe space for your pet with lots of room and privacy I currently work part time and do online school at my own pace. I’m free all week Monday-Sunday mornings-mid day. Late afternoons I take night shifts 3 days out of the week, but for the most part I am free. Communication is very much appreciated I offer an empty floor that no one resides in other than my cat who loves to roam around, in case you would want to separate your pet/s from my own. As I’ve mentioned, I have a gray female tabby(spayed) and a male golden retriever(not fixed).No matter the size my dog is open to playing and enjoys the company of other dogs but if you’d like me to crate or separate by any means, I am able to provide that. Only you know your pet/s best so I’m able to provide any adjustments you’ll need for them and their safety

“I have known Nefise for the better part of two years. It has been a pleasure getting to know and employ her. First and foremost, she is polite and respectful. She always communicates in a timely manner and is never late. Furthermore, she always leaves my basket of dog toys and supplies better than she found it. Nefise truly shines when working with large and giant breeds. People are always intimated by my large dogs, Newfoundlands, but she is not disturbed. She is patient and gentle, but firm and in command. My dogs are always been super excited to see her. If that was not enough, she is even good with the alley cat. Its amazing. I could not recommend her and her services enough!”

Evelyn R.
“Evelyn has walked my dog who is reactive towards people and dogs multiple times. She is patient with him and doesn’t let that stop their walks. As an owner to a reactive dog, the most important thing is they get their exercise and with my busy schedule she helps get his energy out. He is much calmer after his walks and I owe that to Evelyn.”
