Dog Sitting Wheaton

“Great job, Claudia, and what a thorough report! You paid great attention to my rambling directions, seemed to know just what to expect and kept an eye out for all I suggested to watch for.”

About: I own a weenie dog named George. I love this guy to the moon and back. My husband won’t let me get another one, so I’ll love on yours! I used to dog sit in my home, I had 8 dogs at once, a few summers ago. I am happy to walk them, hang with them, and spoil. One of my favorite clients was a one eyed pitbull named Jack, and his boxer brother named Claude. I have always had Dogs growing up, I am such an animal lover. We have also had pet rats, birds, bunnies, and hermit crabs! I can provide excellent references. George the Wiener is my biggest supporter. Just don’t tell him I am leaving him for the day for your pup! We also have an adorable Dutch Bun, named Bun, a gold fish we won at a carnival 6 years, named Carnival Fish, and a bearded dragon named Harold! I work remotely, so I can work from YOUR home while I get to cuddle with your pets.I have reliable transportation and excellent work ethic! I am definitely a cuddler when it comes to pets. I promise yours will be just as spoiled as mine while you are away for the day or week!

“Joan did an excellent job! The cats were very well taken care of and enjoyed Joan’s affection! Would definitely use her again or recommend her to others.”

“Claira is great with our fragile, elderly, and high needs dog. She is patient and attentive, and gave our sweet girl comfort while we were away. Thank you Claira!”

“Annika is so wonderful! I could not have asked for better care for my girl. I’m so thankful for her help and I know Wink was happy to see her everyday!”

About: I started my dog-walking journey when I was 16 years old, helping expecting mothers by caring for and walking their dogs when they needed extra support. What began as a way to earn money during high school quickly became something I truly enjoyed. I loved building connections with pets and making sure they felt safe, happy, and cared for. Over the years, my experience has grown, and I continue dog walking not only as a way to earn extra income but because I genuinely love animals. I especially enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats, learning their personalities, and providing them with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I take pride in being reliable, patient, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time, so my main availability is Thursday through Saturday. I may also be available on other days depending on my schedule, so feel free to reach out and ask! I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your needs and your pet’s routine. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and positive environment where every dog and cat feels cared for and respected. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality to help them feel secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable care, plenty of love and attention, and a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being.

About: I had experience taking care of dogs as a kid. I have been entrusted with checking in on, feeding, loving and caring for dogs of friends, neighbors, and family. I am confident in my ability to handle reactive or anxious dogs. I can read a dogs language (stress, aggression, excitement). I can maintain safety such as making sure the dog is leashed in a busy environment. I keep aware of hazards such as heat, and other dogs. I am on time, and understand what it means to be consistent for routines of dogs, provide clear communication and updates and respect client homes and instructions. I pay attention to detail such as changes in dog behavior, appetite or energy, signs of illness or injury, and owner preferences for routes and pace. I am patient and adaptable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I plan my schedule around the pets in my care. I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and regular check-ins throughout the day to ensure pets stay comfortable and on their normal routine. I’m also mindful of providing attention, exercise, and a calm environment so they feel safe and cared for. On a weekly basis, I keep my schedule organized to accommodate bookings, communicate with pet owners, and maintain a clean, pet-friendly space. I also make sure I have flexibility for longer walks, or extra visits when needed. Reliability and consistency are important to me, so I prioritize being available and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. 1) My Home- Daily care: Feed according to the owner’s schedule and instructions Provide constant access to fresh water Maintain routines (walks, playtime, rest) Comfort & safety: Pet-proof your home (no toxic plants, cords, or open exits) Give them a dedicated space (crate, bed, or quiet room) Separate pets if needed to avoid stress or aggression Exercise & enrichment: Walk dogs regularly Provide toys, puzzles, and interaction Adjust activity based on age, breed, and energy level Hygiene: Clean up accidents immediately Scoop litter boxes daily Keep bedding and feeding areas clean 2) Clients Home- Follow instructions exactly: Stick to feeding times, portions, and diet Administer medications if required Respect house rules (furniture, access areas) Routine care: Walk dogs and allow bathroom breaks Clean litter boxes and cages Provide companionship and attention Home respect & security: Keep the home clean and tidy Lock doors/windows and follow security instructions Handle keys responsibly Communication: Send updates, photos, or videos Report any concerns immediately (health or behavior changes)

“Corrine did a great job watching over my kitty while I was gone! She usually doesn’t come out for many people but she fine the whole time! Would definitely have her again for other trips!”

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have been caring for my own for over 11 years now! Over the years I’ve gained lots of experience with walking, feeding, and playing with dogs. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I am out of state for college but will be home from December 12th to January 20th. During that time I would love to care for as many pets as I can! While I’m not able to host dogs in my home, I’m happy to care for them in yours to make sure they feel comfortable. I will follow any specific routines or instructions you provide!

“Rosa was so wonderful with our dog. She walked him, played with him and made sure he was well fed, happy and safe. She communicated with us during or after each visit and even sent pictures of him having fun which gave us great peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for while we were away. I highly recommend her!”

“Catherine was incredible! I had a last minute business trip out of town and had been stressing about finding someone to watch my two cats. I'm so grateful Catherine was available and will definitely be using her again in the future. She followed directions and went above and beyond. Every day I got multiple pictures and updates on their eating habits, temperament, how play time went, etc. I could feel the love she showed my felines through the updates. My cats can be rather suspicious of new people but they warmed up to her quickly and within a day or two were waiting for her by the door. I think that really speaks to her skill with animals and how much respect and love she shows them. Will definitely be using her services in the future. Cannot recommend Catherine enough. 5 stars all day every day”

Whether it's walks, playtime, or extra attention and care, I’ll make sure your pup is happy, safe, and loved while you're away. I recently graduated from USC and am back home for the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets.

“Beth was absolutely AMAZING. This was our first time meeting her and using her. She met us for a “meet & greet” before the scheduled days we needed her for, and it was very helpful. She does this as a full time job and can tell she is so passionate about it. She was great with my pups. She followed all our instructions, took tremendous care of them, was always on time, offered yummy treats and captures great photos. I will definitely use her again!”

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve had a dog my whole life, so caring for dogs comes very naturally to me. I understand their needs, routines, and behaviors, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. As a double major and minor, college athlete, and active member in a sorority and other clubs, I’m very responsible, organized, and dependable. Even with a busy schedule, I prioritize the pets I care for and make sure they get plenty of attention and consistency. I’m friendly, patient, and kind, which helps me connect easily with dogs of all ages and personalities. I love staying active, so I’m great with energetic dogs who need exercise and playtime. I also have experience with puppies, helping reinforce basic training like potty routines and commands, and I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra attention, or medication reminders. Most importantly, I genuinely love dogs, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for at all times. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I make time specifically for it. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and making sure your dog is fed and cared for throughout the day. I love getting outside for walks, whether your dog needs a quick potty break or a longer, more active walk. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to come over to feed your dog, refresh water, and spend quality time playing and giving them attention so they don’t feel alone. I’m very used to building my schedule around a pet’s needs. No matter how busy I am with school or athletics, I make sure every dog I care for gets the time, care, and attention they deserve. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’ll handle feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also make sure your home is respected and kept clean, and I can send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. If pets are in my home, they’ll have a safe, clean, and welcoming environment with lots of supervision. I keep a consistent schedule for feeding, walks, and play, and make sure they get plenty of affection and exercise. I also have a big fenced-in yard.

“Im absolutely thrilled with Agnieszka! I hope she will always be free to take care of my fur babies when I travel. Not only did she take excellent care of them but she sent me a lot of gorgeous pictures. The only problem with telling you that you too will be thrilled with her care is that she might be busy the next time I need her. 😊”

“Emily did a great job watching our dog while we were away for a few days. Our pup needed to be given medicine and to be walked and Emily did that as well as give her a lot of extra TLC! She communicated with us after each visit and sent us picture updates as well. We appreciate how much love Emily showed our dog and we highly recommend her!”

About: Not only have I had pets of my own my whole life, but I have done pet- and house-sitting for friends and family for years.

It's a joy for me to care for pets well, and I am happy to follow any guidelines you have to make sure you feel as comfortable as possible with me in your home.
