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.
“Ashley was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my dog was comfortable with his stay at her house while I worked. She was very communicative, made sure to have full understanding of his care, and gave him lots of love! From the moment I dropped him off, I can tell she really cares about the pets she and her daughter care for, when I picked Echo up at the end of the day, he was so sad to leave! I’ll definitely be booking with Ashley again! :)”
“We were visiting Chicago for a graduation and left our young golden retriever with Jennifer and her family. They have a nice yard set up and there were other dogs there for her to play with. They sent a video each day, which we appreciated, as well. Thank you!”

“Victoria and Kevin were absolutely great with my Pomeranian! They provided several updates throughout the day with photos so I could know what Snickers was up to. Will definitely have them watch again next time!”
“Emily is amazing, she took care of my baby like it was her own. Snoopy always excited as soon as he saw we pulled up to her house and I can tell he felt safe and was happy to be spending the day with her. I will definitely bring him back.”
“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.”

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.

K9 UniversityLocal facility
“My dog has been going to K9 University for about 8 years. When I’m out of town or not I take him there for doggy daycare. They take care of his grooming. I also have enrolled my dog into their classes for nose work, agility and obedience and my dog absolutely loves it. I am also satisfied with the results and experience of K9 University INC. Their staff members are well trained and they all practice the same delivery of services, for instance, what one staff members provide in quality customer services so does the remaining 5 staff members, therefore the quality you receive from this company isn’t compromised; moreover, they go above and beyond. They are all very professional and possess a wonderful attitude – they look very happy to be there. I’ll most definitely recommend using K9 University INC.”

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.”

Caitlin M.
“Caitlin has been my trusted cat sitter for Paulette for the past 5 years and I couldn’t ask for anyone better. During this time, our cats have become besties, which gives me peace of mind knowing Paulette has a sweet friend to hang out with while I’m away. Caitlin sends me cute pics throughout the day that always make me pause in my tracks and smile. Whenever I pick up Paulette, she’s just happy as a clam, relaxed as if I never left, and super well-groomed thanks to the extra care and brushing Caitlin provides 😸💈”

I have left my Rambo for a week with her also a few times. Shes very dependable, and caring to all his needs. He has allergies and takes medications. She has no problem giving it to him everyday. Susan had a immediate connection with Rambo. He gets so excited when we go there. Susan house is extremly clean both inside and outside. My dog gets along with her two dogs very well.
