Dog Walking Arlington Heights

About: My name is Gaia, and I walk dogs with my dad - Jimmy. I grew up my whole life surrounded by animals, and love caring for them big or small! I can train young pets (although I am not certified to) to do simple commands. I try my best to make your dog(s) feel safe and happy each time I see them. I take time to get to know each pet, whether they are shy, playful, or energetic 🥳 My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home! I am 15 years old and a student. My schedule is somewhat flexible and I am available Monday-Thursday from 2pm-6pm. My rates can vary depending on how I need to care for your pet. I prefer to do drop in visits in YOUR house, I have a big dog that may not be friendly with other dogs 🙃 I’ve had dogs, cats, hamsters, and bearded dragons growing up. I am a volunteer at a wildlife rescue center and can care for any animal very well! I can feed, walk, or let your pet out for a quick break if needed.

“Gill was able to do a meet-and-greet with us and walk Poppy on short notice! It is reassuring knowing that our puppy was able to have great care right off the get-go. Gill sent us pictures and gave us a descriptive update on how the walk went while we weren't home. We appreciate her love for animals and the thoroughness of care!”

About: As a former manager for the dog boarding facility, Pocono Bed and Biscuits, I have acquired a vast knowledge of how to work with dogs. Whether it's a rowdy puppy or a senior dog needing extra care, I am able to fit their needs as necessary. On top of this, I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have grown up with dogs, cats, and exotic smaller animals! I am currently waiting to start back up my full time job so I have a tons of free time at the moment to provide your baby with fulfilling and enriching walks! Due to my background and experience in working with dogs, I am able to easily understand dogs and their behavior. Your baby is safe with and understood with me at all times! Please be advised that I may decline walking if I deem it too hot or unsafe for the dog.

“Did a meet and greet before initial visit, handled my rambunctious pups well, nice good communication and felt they were in good hands with someone who is experienced with all types of dogs. Highly recommend. Thank you!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for several years and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or providing companionship, I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand the importance of keeping owners updated and treating every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently a college student on break and work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for dog walking and pet sitting. I enjoy staying active and making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to creating a safe and positive experience for every pet. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Alexis is so easy to work with! She gives us such peace of mind knowing our pets are in her hands when we leave.”

About: I’ve always had a love for dogs, and before I moved to America we owned two amazing high energetic dogs. I loved taking them on walks and letting them explore the environment. I will ensure your dog is having as much fun as I will on his/her walk. I like getting exercise through walking so your dog will be getting plenty of it. Your dogs safety is also a top priority to me at all times and I will ensure that whatever activities we’ll be engaging in, they'll be kept safe. I work full time but still have plenty of time in the day to play and love your pup, my husband is also usually home as well and will generally help with care I have a fenced in backyard that I like taking the dogs outside to if they don’t need a long walk while they stay. We can also play.

I have a flexible schedule. I am available days & nights as well as on short notice. My Rover calendar is updated frequently, so booking availability is accurate! I have experience taking care of puppies and dogs that require close supervision. I can stay with pets when necessary, or drop by for visits & care throughout the day depending on your and your pet's needs.

“Tara was great with our dog Blue. She provided us daily walking services while my boyfriend and I worked during the week. She took time for us to meet so that I could ensure Blue was comfortable and that this was the right fit for him. Tara took very good care of him and it was great knowing he was well cared for and kept safe. She is very knowledgeable about my dog's behavior and was able to handle him even though is is large and is leash reactive.”

“Tara is fantastic! Roxie absolutely adores her and she obviously loves Roxie too. We will be re-booking every month for Tara to come take care of our baby for us :)”
