Dog Walking Arcadia Heights

About: I’ve been caring for pets for years and truly love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member because I have four pets myself. I’ll provide dependable care, lots of attention, and regular updates with photos for your peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own and can’t wait to meet yours! I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, medication, or simply companionship, I’ll be there to make sure they feel safe and loved. As a lifelong dog owner with over 15 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. I’m committed to treating every animal as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I have a fenced yard and four dogs for your pets to play with. All dogs are good with other dogs, and I am available to pick up pets free of charge. I also take my dogs out daily to a dog park or on a hike, sometimes twice a day. This option is available to any dogs I pet sit within the owners comfortability. I ensure each pet gets one on one attention throughout the day. Care and love is the focus of my pet sitting style.

About: My whole life I've grown up with many dogs and I absolutely adore them!! I love walking them, playing with them, taking them out for car rides, etc. For a little over three years now I've been dogsitting and catsitting for my dad's friends. I've cared for cats previously, but I didn't have my very first cat until very recently, and I adore them as well! I'm more than willing to scoop litter, pick up after they potty, walk pets, and have a designated play time with them (: During the summer I work part time in the evenings and am not very busy outside of that, so I'm more than able to be with the pet during the day. At night, I usually work for about 5/6 hours, and am flexible enough to check on pets at night after work as well. In the fall when school starts, I will not be so available for check ins, but am able to spend nights with pets, and am flexible enough to do some dogwalking if necessary. When that time approaches, I will update my availability! Since cats don't usually require to be let outside, I'll be much more flexible with catsitting than dogsitting, but am still willing to do both! I usually work at my job 3-4 nights a week. In client's homes I make sure to spend a good amount of time with pets because I know they're missing their owners. I give them treats, pet them, cuddle with them, and walk them. Before I leave for anywhere I make sure that they have food, water, and they've used the potty, that way clients can be assured there will be no accidents in the home, and their pet is being properly cared for. Some cats prefer to spend time alone, and if that's the case, of course I have no problem leaving them be. As a pet owner myself, I can tell when sometimes the pets don't want to play and just wanna nap, or when they want to be left alone. Additionally, I make sure to take care of their house and clean up after myself! Beforehand, I'd love to meet with the client that way I can get to know everyone, and build some trust between me, the client, and the pet (:

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for the last 10 years before getting my own pup! I love all animals, and after using Rover myself, I know how important it is to find a great caretaker who will set your mind at ease and take great care of your fur baby. I am very responsive and flexible with my schedule, and will always keep you informed. I have experience with reactive dogs, administering medication, and handling multiple animals at once. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds and will give them the love and care they deserve as if they were my own. I have my own dog, so I am fully aware of how much time needs to be committed to their care, and will be very detail oriented with your pet! I will gladly accommodate specific walking routes, favorite toys or play times, or any special foods to treat or avoid. I have a fenced yard and am very conscious of dog interactions since my dog has some reactivity. I am always mindful of other dogs or animals on walks to make sure my dog is safe and I can redirect his attention or avoid confrontation with off leash dogs, and will show the same attentiveness with yours! For any boarding/doggy day care requests, I require that your pup be crate trained for at least 1 hour at a time comfortably.

“Jami was amazing with Allie Rose for an hour walk. I can tell she is a puppy whisperer. I would give her 20 out of 5 stars if I could. Thanks.”

“Sariah was so flexible with timing and took great care of Malu! Fun walks, plays in the back yard, and great photos on the report card. Sariah’s the best, will definitely be booking with her going forward!”

About: I am currently training to become a registered nurse and have 6 years of clinical experience! While my caregiving experience is mostly with humans, I have a deep love for animals. My healthcare experience has trained me to be dependable, detail oriented, and calm under pressure. I also understand the importance of routine, so I will carefully follow instructions to best care for your 4 legged family member :). I am not currently working while in school so my schedule is extremely flexible for pet care! My schedule does vary slightly week to week but I am organized and will keep my availability updated. At this time, I can provide pet care through drop in visits and walks! My goal will always be to uphold your pet’s normal routine and keep them (and you!) as stress-free as possible. Feeding, walking, cleaning up accidents, watching for behavior or health changes and sending photos/updates are all part of my quality care!

About: I have loved dogs and puppies since before I could walk. I was the main caretaker of a 4 year old dog since he was a puppy before I moved to college, and now that I’ve graduated I want to be able to care for dogs again! I absolutely love the outdoors, including going on walks or hikes and parks. I'm very energetic, hard working, and punctual! I'll try to get back as soon as I can on any sitter requests. Feel free to let me know any special requests with your dog, I'm pretty flexible.

“Amy and Avery are the best!”

About: I own a dog myself! His name is Horchata and he is a miniature American Eskimo - he’s very hyper and hairy, and I’ve taken care of him and trained him since he was a puppy. If you chose me as your sitter, I will treat your baby like he is my own :) My family owned many dogs while I was growing up: a German Shepherd named Eleanor, and now a Husky named Targaryen. Both of them were very spoiled by me and were my besties. I have a pretty flexible schedule right now as I’m working remotely part-time! Im mostly available weekdays anytime before 5pm, but feel free to ask about any specific times. Im currently living in an apartment, and have one dog. I take him out regularly on walks and to the dog park, currently Fairmont Park, so he has space to run around free due to the lack of space at my home.

“Madeleine was so sweet and prompt!! I loved the photos she sent and will be using her again!”

About: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. My approach combines physical activity with mental stimulation—including playful games, neighborhood explorations, and visits to nearby parks. I have solid experience caring for dogs of various sizes and temperaments, ensuring proper routines, feeding schedules, and attentive supervision at all times. ​I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of quality time and undivided attention to your pets during walking or sitting sessions. I am prompt, reliable, and always ready to tailor my visits according to your pet's unique needs and personality. ​I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon! ​Safety and clear communication are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow your established rules, routine, and feeding guidelines to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free. I ensure doors and gates are always secure and keep a close eye during walks. I will also send you frequent updates and photos so you feel completely confident while away.

About: I’ve always loved animals! I’m not allowed to have my own while I’m renting but I enjoy playing and getting to know all that I get to meet! I am currently a pilot working on my hours! I get to make my own schedule doing that so I have plenty of time to add taking care of animals into the mix. Keeping the animals schedule consistent is how I like to keep them safe and also keeping a good eye on them since they are unfamiliar with me.

“Birkie loved his walks and hangs with Britta! She was a great communicator and made sure Birkie was tired out and happy each visit. Would recommend!”
