Dog Walkers in Markham, IL

“Merve is amazing! She is so kind and takes time to ask appropriate questions to get know my dogs personal needs. She is very affectionate and my dog absolutely loves her! You can tell that she is a true animal lover! I would definitely recommend her.”

“Bob has been beyond wonderful with Dublin! Would highly recommend him to take care of your pet anytime!! He's so sweet and reliable!”

“Amanda is awesome with our dog Leyla! This was our first time using Rover and it could not have been a better match. She is nearby, flexible and takes the extra time and effort to ensure our puppy gets in some good, quality, fun exorcise for the day. She is very experienced with animals of all kinds and makes me feel confident that my pup is in good hands. Highly recommended!”

“Roxy is the best. If I could, I would give her 10 stars. Amber has had 3 walks with Roxy now and she loves it. Amber is a 8 month old puppy who is not easy to handle. Roxy takes her time to make my pup comfortable and happy. She gives out a gist at the end of each walk and it really gives me a collective idea on how to train my dog. We are really happy with Roxy and we are planning to be her repeat client.”

“My dog Stella fell in love with Tara at first sight. Tara is great with Stella, is on time and gives my girl a good walk. I highly recommend Tara.”

“Matt is always prompt and is great with my Stella”

About: I’ve had and taken care of cats ever since I was 2 years old. My first job was in 6th grade - dog walking for the neighbor. I’ve been around dogs and cats together. My parents relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and train the first dog of my own when I was in 7th grade! My roommates have all had animals that I’ve lived with and I even trained two baby kittens to walk on a leash for a short time! I give my animals frequent breaks, and use positive reinforcement to encourage good behaviors. I'm in school full-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to pet sit, walk, play and take care of animals, based on your request and accommodation needs. The most ideal stress-free environment for your pet while you are away is a familiar place. I meet with you prior to your away-time, meet your pet to ensure we are a good fit, and I ask questions based on the care I'd be providing them. If you have a new puppy or kitten, I will be following their training needs based on your preferences. If you have dogs or cats with medicinal needs, I will ensure they are met with those needs. On a day at your home, we will play with toys, walk regularly, and do pretty much anything to reduce them missing you while you are away.

“She was so kind and very flexible with my schedule!”

“Lisa did great on her two day walk with our pet. She was able to quickly adjust to our dog’s walking style. We will happy use Lisa again!”

“Hi! Cindy is not only a friend now, but we met when I hired her as a caregiver for my husband. He was 59, with a progressive, terminal movement disorder, called multiple system atrophy. Cindy was a blessing to us in his final year of life. I worked full time, she was always dependable and prompt and most importantly, flexible to our ever changing needs. Kind, compassionate, intelligent are just a few heartfelt words I would use to describe Cindy. I hope you have the chance to benefit from her kindness.”

About: I've had dogs and cats growing up. Taking care of them was not only a responsibility, but a joy! My husband and I have 4 cats, but love both cats and dogs. I work full-time, but I work from home. My hours and schedule are flexible, which give me plenty of time for dog, cat, and house sitting. Currently, I am only accepting jobs where I do drop in visits. We have 4 cats and they have lived with other cats and a dog before, but I want to start out before introducing them to other pets.

“Megan was great! We will definitely have her back.”

“These ladies are very caring and attentive. They provide daily feedback to let me know how Tazer is doing and take pictures and video when they are on their walks. I'm very happy and know Tazer is well cared for when I'm at work.”

“Olga has helped our family out tremendously. Our 80 pound dog is not easy to walk especially with my two small children as the dog pulls on the leash, but Olga now walks our dog three times a week and is very caring towards our dog. She is wonderful.”

“Hey there. My name is pattie and Jordan came to walk both of my dogs. He was great! His communication couldn’t have been any better. My dogs are like my children, so I love to know when he arrives, leaves and filled the dog bowls with food and water. He was very attentive. I will gladly be rebooking in the future.”

“I’ve got two large dogs (pit and german shepherd mixes) and Cheyenne does a great job handling them during walks. It’s super important that my dogs be comfortable with who is walking them, and the walker be confident enough that they listen to them. Cheyenne is all of the above! They are very comfortable with her and I will certainly continue to use her in the future.”

“Kati did amazing with Scooby!”

“Stephanie is an awesome caregiver! Stephanie has interacted and cared for my pets for 3 years now, whether I'm away for a weekend or a whole week on vacation; she is my go to! She has so much experience. She is super loving and caring for animals and that's why I chose her to be my pet caregiver. I truly admire her love for animals--I don't let anyone else care for my pets!”

About: When it comes to pet care, I am an expert! I had worked as an AKC certified dog trainer for a little over a year, specializing in basic obedience training. I then moved on to P.A.W.S. of Tinely Park, a no-kill animal shelter. There I took care of 40+ dogs a day and, when I had the time, would also help out with the cats. I had been there over two years. Then I moved on to vet med as a vet assistant for cat/dog med but also worked in specialized exotics med for over 3 years. I feel this shows that I do well with animals that tend to be nervous, anxious, skidish, and fearful. I pride myself on knowing how to pick up on how your pet is feeling and adjusting my interactions accordingly. It might be worth mentioning that I have worked with dogs of all stress and anxiety levels in the past but have never once been injured. Proper handling is very important to me. Not only am I experienced with cats and dogs, but I have kept and worked with exotics as well! Such as small mammals (like: rabbits, chinchillas, mice, rats, hamsters, Guinea pigs, hedgehogs, etc.), birds, reptiles of both non venomous snake and lizard varieties, certain amphibians, tarantulas, and fresh water fish! So pets of all kind I am very open to. I also feel I should add that I have been using this app for a few years now and seem to have built up a great reputation for myself. Pet care and helping out people are my truest passions, so help me by letting me helping you! Sent me a message for all inquiries. I have left my job as a vet assistant to pursue pet care full time for it is my truest passion. This makes my avaliablity very flexible. Fenced yards are a plus but I have taken care of dogs that have alternative styles of containment. I keep a watchful eye regardless of situation. I am able to feed, medicate, and adjust to your pets personal needs. I also am a grade A communicator, constantly giving detailed records of how your pet is doing.
