Dog Walking Arlington Heights

“Madison is top tier from all aspects!! I was nervous to leave my pup for her first alone day & Madison made me feel at ease by giving her some mid day love, sending me photos of my baby, and giving a report! We appreciate her and recommend her 10/10!!!”

“Elizabeth is fantastic with my dog! She makes sure he gets the time outside that he loves and also pays attention to his energy level as a senior dog and spends time with him as per his needs and preferences. Walking, sitting outside on the patio, and giving him all the snuggles. I feel confident my dog, Petie is getting all the TLC he deserves when Elizabeth is caring for him. Thank you, Elizabeth for giving me this peace of mind! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and understand that pets are family. I provide dependable, attentive care so you can travel with confidence, knowing your pets and home are in good hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, and other household pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, a consistent routine, or simply companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I’m patient with senior pets, attentive to medication schedules and special instructions, and committed to maintaining the routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable. In addition to pet care, I take pride in keeping a clean, secure, and well-maintained home. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your property. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you always know how your pets are doing. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and treating your pets and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I work a four-day week, with two days working remotely and two days in the office, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive, dependable care. On my remote workdays, I’m home throughout the day for companionship, walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks. On office days, I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive the care and attention they need before and after work. My evenings and weekends are generally open, allowing me to dedicate quality time to pet sitting, house sitting, overnight stays, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important consistency is, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. Safety, security, and your pet’s well-being are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or providing drop-in visits, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and household routines. I ensure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and outdoor time, and maintain a clean, safe environment at all times. I also understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect, keep everything tidy, bring in mail or packages if requested, water plants, and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets and home are being cared for with the same attention and respect I would give my own.

“Thank you for also walking our visitor "Patty" for the last 10 days while she was with us. She enjoyed her investigation of the neighborhood.”

“Lisa was fantastic with my three dogs. She did twice a day walk for Pitbull while we were on a 5 day vacation. Having a Pitbull will turn some walkers/sitters away and Lisa being experienced with this bred and being a vet tech was a blessing. We will booking her for a future trip and additional walks. She was the BEST!”

Kimberli B.

“We love Liz! Very thorough and reliable.”

About: I’ve been around animals since I was little. I’ve always loved being around them!! This started out as something fun & quickly grew into one of my greatest passions. I’m currently in school online. My free time is used up by baking, cooking, or walking. I am left with plenty of free time so what better way to use it than to take fur babies on walks!! I think of our pets as humans. They’re loving, supportive, funny animals. All they show is love so why not show it back. 🐾 💕🐾 💕🐾

“Lexy goes above and beyond! She took my pup for walks and made sure to play with her and get her settled before leaving. Would recommend and hope to have her again!”

About: I have experience with both dogs and cats that spans over 10 years! Currently I have two cats of my own, one of which has special needs. Also a little senior hedgehog! I have experience with dogs/cats of all sizes and endless patience for animals who may need special care. I believe strongly that all animals are precious and deserve the best care possible. I am a massage therapist that works Wednesday-Friday 9am-2pm and Saturday 9am-6pm. Sunday-Tuesday my schedule is open! I will always prioritize the animals needs first. I am committed to safely caring for any animal whether that be my own or others. Making sure doors are securely shut, walking into the home calmly and ensuring no animals bolt through the door.

“Kia is awesome! My doggie loves his walks with her and she also makes sure he gets some treats and water before she leaves. Would recommend her to anyone!”

About: Lifelong animal lover, pets have been part of my life since childhood. I grew up with a Bassett Hound and as an adult, have had four (corgis) dogs, plus a cat. I currently have two corgis of my own, Betty and Truman, so I'm well-versed in dog quirks (and know a thing or two about food-motivated pups!). I'm just as comfortable with an energetic puppy as I am with a senior dog who needs a gentler pace, and I'm experienced administering medication when needed. I work for myself as a real estate agent, which gives me a flexible schedule to prioritize what I love most, and pets are at the top of that list. When I leave my dogs with someone, I want to feel confident they'll be treated with the same patience and attention I give them — and that's exactly what I'll bring to your pet, too. My schedule is flexible since I work for myself, so I have chunks of time throughout the day, mornings and afternoons are especially open for walks, drop-ins, or feeding. I can easily adjust to fit your pet's routine. For drop-in visits and walks, I follow your instructions closely, whether it be sticking to medication times, feeding schedules or routines your pet is used to. As a real estate agent, I'm naturally detail-oriented about securing homes; doors, gates, and locks are always checked before I leave. And because I know a good photo of your pet can make your whole day, you'll get photo and video updates throughout each visit.

About: I have had cats as pets my whole life and dogs as an adult. I have been pet sitting for about 6 years to dogs from puppies to seniors. Times have ranged from weekends to a month. I started fostering kittens when covid hit. I have found joy in caring for animals with all their different personalities. I have become experienced in all things kittens : bottle feeding , tube feeding administering medicine (my neighbor will even call me to give her pets pills) flea baths ringworm baths, brushing teeth you name it . I have even had to help kittens cross the rainbow bridge. It has been bitter sweet , but the love they give is more then enough. All animals deserve the best treatment and love we can give them I have been in education for 34 years teaching art and an administrator for the Fine Arts Department. I am retired now and have a lot of free time to spend with my favorite animals. I have found pet sitting and fostering to be very rewarding and someday would like to start my own fostering service. I have recently started rehabbing opossums, which is quite fun and much different than our tamer than our average 4 legged friends My job is flexible enough that i can leave for lunch and take care of your pets in the middle of the day as well. I have three cats that have been around lots of dog and cat “visitors” . Fostering cats has helped, … oh here comes another friend

“Ella is so sweet and after meeting her I immediately felt confident with her helping take care of my senior dog. I came home and Petie was happy. She shared photos of their walk and maintained his schedule and our routine. I will definitely use Ella again in the future!”

“Jill was great. Took my dog out on a walk even though it was freezing cold outside. My dog also really seemed to like her. She was on time and had a flexible schedule. Will definitely be using her again! ?”

About: I’ve been around animals all my life. My mom started a pet sitting business when I was a teenager and I often helped with visits. My first job in high school was in a pet grooming salon where I learned how to bathe and later groom. I paid my way through college as a groomer working at a vet and also an animal behaviorist/trainer. I helped them out in my downtime with training and in the boarding area. I also spend my free time working with animal rescue groups and also photographing cats and dogs. I love animals so much and live with my two senior rescue pets, one of which has diabetes, so I’m no stranger to giving medication. I work a flexible, remote, work from home schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your furry family members during the times requested. I care for pets in my client’s homes in the manner they request. If they’d prefer their pets crated when I leave, I can do so, I’m also comfortable leaving them out in the house when I leave. I always scan the area to make sure there is nothing they’ve gotten into that can harm them. I am not comfortable leaving pets in the yard when I’m not present unless there is a dog door (and it’s not around a fireworks holiday).
