Doggy Day Care in Willis

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my 3 years of hands-on experience, my genuine love for animals, and my personalized approach to each pet’s unique needs. With a decade of expertise, I ensure that pets in my care feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. My reliability, attention to detail, and commitment to high-quality care make me the trusted choice for pet owners seeking peace of mind. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I prioritize my pets' needs alongside my own, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, or grooming, I make time for each aspect of their care. I also incorporate regular check-ins, updates, and maintenance tasks like cleaning and administering medications as needed. My routine is flexible, allowing me to adapt to the specific needs of the pets in my care, while maintaining a consistent and reliable schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I tailor my approach to ensure comfort, safety, and well-being. In my home, I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and daily routines. I maintain a clean and secure space, offer regular exercise, and give one-on-one attention to each pet, following any specific care instructions given by the owner. When caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure I respect their space while maintaining consistency in their pets' routine. I follow the same level of care as I would in my own home—ensuring pets are fed, exercised, and mentally stimulated. I also keep the home secure, maintaining a safe environment and sending regular updates to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make pets feel as comfortable and loved as they would in their own home.

About: I’ve been deeply connected to animals from a young age, caring for a wide range—from birds and rabbits to indoor pigs, cats, and dogs. That lifelong experience has shaped my ability to read animal body language, understand their social cues, and respond with patience and intuition. With a master’s degree in psychology, I bring a unique perspective to animal care, blending emotional awareness with practical skill to support animals in a way that feels safe and attuned to their needs. I genuinely enjoy being present with each animal—whether that means offering affection and companionship, maintaining their routines, or supporting any specific training or behavioral goals a client may have. My schedule is very flexible, as I work from home as a therapist and only see 3–4 clients virtually per day for one-hour sessions. This allows me to be present and attentive to pets throughout the day, providing consistent care, supervision, and companionship. Pets in my home are rarely left alone for extended periods, and I’m able to accommodate their routines, needs, and comfort with a calm, steady presence. Safety, trust, and a calm, structured environment are at the center of how I care for both cats and dogs. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day, helping pets feel secure and settled. I’m highly attentive to body language and individual temperament, allowing me to build trust at each animal’s pace—whether they’re energetic, sensitive, or more independent. My home is clean, quiet, and pet-friendly, with a large fenced grass yard for safe outdoor time and play. I also live in a gated community just a couple of blocks from a lake, which allows for peaceful, enriching walks for dogs in a secure and calm environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty routines or litter box care, medications if needed, and any specific preferences or training goals. I’m mindful of maintaining a safe, hazard-free space and introducing any new experiences gradually and respectfully. I also prioritize clear, consistent communication so you can feel confident that your pet—whether cat or dog—is safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs of different breeds and personalities for many years. I currently have two dogs that I’ve raised since they were puppies, which has given me hands on experience with daily routines, potty training, structure, and understanding different temperaments. Being around dogs consistently has helped me learn how to read their behavior, provide calm leadership, and create a safe, loving environment for every pup in my care. As a stay at home mom, I provide attentive, full-time care. Pets enjoy multiple daily backyard play sessions (weather permitting), plus toys for stimulation, and a climate-controlled shed with cozy beds for rest. Your pet will stay in a climate controlled shed designed just for my guests, with a secure fenced area and an additional fenced backyard for safe playtime. I’m always present to provide attentive care and don’t leave pets alone for long periods. My three kids love spending time with the dogs, making sure they feel loved, entertained, and right at home.

“I loved having my young pup, Ranger, at Chanisy's house. She sent me pictures everyday and he was OBVIOUSLY happy when he arrived at her house and when I picked him up. My job changed so I needed a sitter in another direction but I would hire Chancy again in a heartbeat.”

“Steel had such an amazing time! Usually he's shy but he ran right over to Lexi! I instantly knew he was in great hands. Lexi is very professional and went above and beyond to show me where Steel would hang out and play. She really treated our big boy like he was hers. So happy that we've found our new sitter!! Thank you so much Lexi!!”

About: I’m a huge dog lover and love having them around. I have watched, walked, fed and bathed dogs for past roommates, friends, family and neighbors since I was in middle school. I have experience with all sizes of dogs, grew up raising 100+ lb labs, cared for Great Danes/Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd/Boxers to Australian Shepherds/Chihuahuas/Mutts. I’ve also volunteered at multiple dog shelters. I work remotely so I’m home all day so I can give your pups attention constantly. I can watch dogs every day of the week and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and also have extra steel blockers around the fence for any potential pups that dig. I do have one older dog that gets along with other dogs and is happy to lay around all day with them.

About: Dog friendly neighborhood, with lots of trees in backyard. Pet friendly home with loving dogs and cats. Separate cages, so that they may crate alone. I’m fully retired now with a daily walking schedule. Would love to fill my days with your fur babies. Daily walks and splashes in the pool in the backyard if it’s too hot. I have a complete fenced in backyard, but lots of trees. Three friendly dogs and two friendly cats to keep your pet company separate crates for each animal.

“Ardrina did amazing with our dog Meeko! We needed someone to watch him two days in a row and she came through just in time! She was incredibly sweet and accommodating, not to mention that she had a great backyard for our boy to run and play. Not only that, but she took the time to show us around her house, and was intentional about sticking to whatever schedule our dog was used to. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”

“You know you've found a great daycare when your dog comes home and flops down starts snoring! Haha My dog is huge but Joseph did such an excellent job him! His communication is excellent with fast response times. Very happy that we have found him!”

About: I have over 10 years experience pet sitting and have worked in multiple animal hospitals. I have watched many breeds as well as small pocket pets! I work during the day but I only work a half day on Fridays with weekends off and plenty of time in the morning to make sure they do business before I leave! I have a large backyard that is fenced in. One dog of my own to keep your comfy and share his bed for day time naps .

About: I've had animals on and off my whole life. I currently have a super sweet and loving 9 year old ridgeback/lab mix that is great with all friendly dogs both big and small. I am a retired veteran, so I am usually home most days during the week and weekend unless my dog and I are out on adventures. I have a nice clean pet friendly home and environment. My backyard is fully fenced in with a covered patio with outdoor "dog friendly" furniture.

About: Animals>People. I’ve had all kinds of animals in my life and my goal is to give them the best life possible. I have a husky and they are a “special” kind of dog so I can adapt to any kind of care your dog might need. I work night shift so my animals sleep while I’m gone. I don’t sleep much so my pups get a lot of attention during the day I own my house and I have a doggy door that leads into my large backyard. I am a police officer so if you need “at home pet care” your property will be taken care of as well.

“Darci had a good first visit with Barbara and Tucker.”

“Very much recommend Gabriela and Alejandro! I needed someone to watch my dog last minute and they were able to watch him. They sent me photos of him and kept me updated throughout the day. My baby looked comfortable and I’m sure he had the best time. Will definitely book again soon 😊”

“Wallace took great care of my pup while I was away for the day. He seemed very experience and knowledgeable working with dogs and my pup was immediately excited to meet him and the rest of the pups there. Wallace sent pictures during her stay and was easy to communicate with. I felt comfortable leaving my girl with him! She came home exhausted from playing and happy as can be. :)”

About: I have always had a dog since I was a little girl. I absolutely love animals and have 2 of my own. I am comfortable with any size dog and have experienced with large and X-Large breeds. I have a rottie. She’s 4 years old, a big baby, and loves to play with other dogs. She’s really gentle, even with cats. I love spending my free time with animals :) I have a fenced in yard and have 2 kennels if needed. I also have an extra room and live in a quiet neighborhood with trails for walks :)

About: I've had dogs throughout my life. From a dauchsand in my childhood, a rat terrier in a prior relationship, and a dalmatian currently but lives with girlfriends parents. We have a wonderful 5 year old son who is in Kindergarten this year. His name is Liam and he's the most wonderful and happy little boy. He plays so nicely with all dogs and just a very happy kid. We also have a 2 year old boy named Matthew who is probably more outgoing than his big brother and more curious at the same time. We are a loving house who look at animals as our extended family. We would treat your dogs with love and the respect just like a family member deserves in life.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and I treat every pup like family. I’m experienced with high-energy breeds, senior dogs, and young pups still learning manners. I’m attentive to behavioral cues, committed to maintaining routines, and great at keeping dogs calm, happy, and safe. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or cuddle time, I make sure each dog feels cared for and loved. My first “job” was at 11 years old as the neighborhood dog watcher. I started a boarding company called “DogGone” and was entrusted at a really young age and to take care of loved ones and never disappointed. I’ve worked from home for over 5 years, which allows me to be fully present and attentive with pets throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and check-ins. My flexible schedule ensures your pet receives consistent companionship and care, not just occasional supervision. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who can keep your pup company if desired. I’m attentive to each dog’s comfort level and can separate or crate as needed to match your pet’s personality and routine. Your pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness are my priority, and I treat every guest dog as if they were my own. Also live on a private lake if your dogs love to swim. The lake is separated by my fence if that is of concern.

About: Taking care of pets and training puppies is a rewarding and vital aspect of responsible pet ownership. It involves a combination of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement techniques. From housebreaking, teaching basic commands, or socializing them with other animals, providing proper training sets the foundation for a well-behaved and happy companion. Establishing a routine, providing mental and physical stimulation, and offering plenty of love and affection are key elements in raising a well-adjusted puppy. Through gentle guidance, clear communication, and plenty of praise, pet owners can help their puppies develop good habits, build trust, and foster a deep bond that will last a lifetime. Taking care of cats involves a unique set of responsibilities and considerations to ensure their health, happiness, and overall well-being. Cats are independent animals, but they still require attention, love, and proper care. Providing a balanced and nutritious diet, fresh water, and regular veterinary check-ups are essential. Maintaining a clean litter box and providing a stimulating environment with scratching posts, toys, and cozy resting spots help meet their natural instincts and keep them mentally and physically active. Regular grooming, including brushing their fur, trimming nails, and cleaning ears, promotes their overall hygiene. Spending quality time playing and interacting with cats strengthens the human-feline bond and provides necessary mental stimulation. Lastly, providing a safe and secure environment indoors, or supervised outdoor access in a controlled manner, ensures their safety and prevents potential hazards. With attentive care and affection, cats can live happy and fulfilled lives as cherished companions. Working from home allows me to take short breaks throughout the day to spend quality time with your pet. These breaks can include short walks, interactive play sessions, or simply cuddling and bonding with your furry friend! Animals bring joy, companionship, and love into our lives. Providing proper care for them is not only essential for their well-being, but it also showcases your dedication and support for them.

“I was very pleased with Kristina and this visit she kept me informed throughout the entire process and sent videoed and pictures. Fitz looked extremely happy and he received a good report. I will definitely use her in the future. Thank you for everything especially accepting him at such a late notice.”
