Dog Walking Arlington Heights

About: I have experience good experience with cats and dogs. I’ve had a wide range of dog breeds from small to large. I am experienced with giving medication, wound care, veterinarian visits, training, raising from pup/kitten age, and just gaining overall knowledge of pet behaviors. I am a college student looking for a job when I’m available. I am only taking one class this semester and have a lot more time to take on these tasks. I am the primary caretaker of our pets. I have a dog and a cat currently, with my cat requiring medication several times a day. I am strict with what they need and will stick well with the routine any pet owner requires of me for their animals.

“Very reliable, and does a good job walking my dog!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and treat every pet like family. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including two senior dogs who lived happy lives until 14 years old. I’m patient, attentive, and always make time to give pets the love, care, exercise, and comfort they need. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I truly enjoy being around animals and making them feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I always make time for walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and giving pets attention throughout the day. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to making sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and special needs, especially for senior pets who may need extra patience and care. I treat every animal like my own and make sure they receive plenty of supervision, affection, and attention at all times.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. In fact, I took my very first steps with a Rottweiler named Oso by my side! Growing up around these large breeds has helped me plenty with hands-on experience and confidence with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Over the years, I’ve cared for and loved several dogs, including a German Shepherd, Siberian Husky, and currently a Malinois mix and two husky mixes. I’m very familiar with the energy, exercise needs, and unique personalities that come with active breeds. While I have lots of experience with larger dogs, I absolutely adore small dogs too. I want make sure that every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient with shy or timid pups and always take the time to earn their trust at their own pace. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, running around, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m their new best friend ☺️. If you have a high-energy dog that needs to burn off some extra energy, I’m more than ready to help tire them out with plenty of exercise and fun 🤩 ! ❗️I’m available all weekdays and holidays! Although, i’m in college, studying Administration of Justice, and depends on my schedule for the semester since classes may vary on my availability. but it doesn’t mean i won’t make time for your babies! I do prefer for your animals to be treated at your home, because my dogs can be protective of our home and won’t want to put any animals in harms way.

About: Hi my name is Brandi and I am located in Riverside CA. I graduated from UC Riverside with a BA in sociology in 2020. I do work part time Monday to Friday. I am available after 3:30pm on most weekdays and I am available most weekends. I have three cats and three dogs. I have a love for animals and look forward to getting to know new people and new pets! I have a passion for animals and look forward to providing them with a comfortable environment while their owner is away on holiday. This includes meeting special needs. I love seniors! Puppies will be on a case by case basis. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends soon! I currently work part-time and my husband Chad helps me when he is home. He is a great help with Boardings, check ins, and daycares. I have a fenced yard and 1 outdoor fur babies that you fur babies can play with. If needed I can crate your dog/cat if required. I have a pet gate to separate anyone for their safety. Pets that are not spayed or neutered maybe subject to an extra charge if marking or going into heat does occur. These situations are on a case by case basis. I currently work part time with RUSD and I am available most weekdays after 3:30pm, sometimes earlier depending on the day. I am available most weekends as well. For safety I have baby gates on the porch to prevent animals from exploring. I also have baby gates in the house to discourage animals to go into certain parts of the house.

About: I have been training dogs since I was a little girl, teaching our family pet new tricks. I've since trained 4 puppies into good citizens and co-trained 2 large breed dogs, one of whom is a reactive rescue. I am very confident with dogs and know how to work through difficulties. Since I have one reactive dog in my home, I am cautious and take safety very seriously. I have professional experience caring for dogs and cats in a kennel environment. I worked at a veterinary clinic as an assistant and kennel attendant for 3 years. I am CPR and first aid certified. I also have extensive experience with horses which keeps my first aid skills sharp! I love all animals and will treat your friend as if they were my own. I am very detail oriented so I love to have lists and detailed instructions that I will follow to the letter while you're away. In my spare time, I volunteer at a cat shelter and foster difficult cases. I'm extremely attentive to animals well-being. For in-home boarding, I have space for 1 additional dog at a time. We have 2 separate yards, but one is reserved for my reactive dog to keep her and our other animals safe and happy. Our other 3 dogs are friendly but high energy. They are able to take turns with your dog being outside or play together if your dog likes to do so. Please feel free to ask me any questions and voice any concerns! I am currently trying my hand at freelance graphic design and content creation, so I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. The only commitment I have is barn cleaning Monday-Wednesday for 3 hours each day. In your home, I will follow all instructions to the letter and ensure your animals and home are kept safe, happy, and in order. At my home, I have 2 separate yards and multiple kennels available if needed. My own dogs sleep and take breaks from the elements in their kennels, but are otherwise outside barking at squirrels! Depending on your dogs temperament and play style, they can either take turns with my dogs in one of the yards or rough house along with them. While my dogs are large, they have proven themselves to know their own strength. They played very well with a Chihuahua we were fostering for a few weeks.

About: I have been around animals my entire life and have volunteered at an animal shelter where I socialized puppies and cats. Animals have always been very comfortable around me and vice versa. I am comfortable with all sizes of dogs and breeds. I care very deeply for animals and would love to help you ensure your dogs are getting the exercise and attention they need. I graduated college with a major in veterinary technology at TJC, and currently work as a veterinary technician. I do have a full time job at a veterinary clinic with my days and hours varying. Typically I work 5 days a week with a max of 8 hours a day. Due to this I am unable to be with your pet at all times but would love to spend my free time with them! I make sure to stay in close proximity to the animal and keep a close eye on them while playing with toys to prevent any injury. I am very knowledge on what kinds of things are toxic to both cats and dogs and am able to pick up on signs of possible varying illnesses.

“Great communication. We appreciated the updates and photos. Terrific job with our Great Dane.”

“Janette is an excellent dog walker. She is always on time, very responsible and very loving to my 127 pound German Shepherd who took to her immediately. He is so excited when she comes. I would highly recommend her services. She walks my dog twice a week.”

About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for both dogs and cats, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m a big believer that great pet care is a mix of love, routine, and understanding what each animal truly needs. Whether your pet thrives on long walks, quiet company, mental enrichment games, or a consistent daily schedule, I’m there to make sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I’ve learned a lot about dog nutrition, behavior, and enrichment over the years, so I’m always happy to support special diets, picky eaters, anxious pups, or pets who need a little extra stimulation to feel their best. I follow routines exactly as you set them—mealtimes, meds, walks, play, bedtime rituals—because your pet’s comfort matters most. Most of all, I’m here to give you peace of mind. You’ll get reliable communication, plenty of photo updates, and a sitter who notices the little things. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m free after 1 pm on weekdays and wide open on weekends, so your pet gets plenty of attention whenever you need it. I’m only available for overnights on Fridays and Saturdays but I can house sit till late night on the days I can’t stay overnight. If you’re looking for a time that doesn’t quite fit this schedule, just reach out—I can see if I can make it work with a little notice. A day with me starts by following your pet’s routine—meals, potty breaks, and plenty of snuggles. Dogs get walks, playtime, and mental enrichment, while cats get attention, cozy cuddles, and interactive play. Drop-ins include feeding, meds, and extra love, and house sitting means continuous companionship and care. You’ll always get updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I volunteered at my local humane society for 3 years and worked with various animals like dogs, cats, and rabbits. I've also had dogs, cats and rabbits growing up. I work a part-time job but still home pretty much full time. I am mobile so I can take your dog pretty much anywhere you need me to take them; dog park, hiking, appointments, etc. If your dog is more active or likes adventures, I love to go hiking or exploring trails. Napping is my favorite pastime, so if your dog enjoys napping I specialize in cuddling or taking naps together. My house has a pool if your dog loves the water like I do, and I'd say I'm an amateur dog washer. I look forward to doing business with you & your pup! I’m currently a day at home mom looking to making pet care my full time job. I have daycare within my service area, so I can come to care for your pet at any time of the day! For house sitting services, I provide overnight care in your home and maintain your pet's normal routine. I may leave throughout the day for work, errands, family time, etc but I always ensure your pet receives the care, attention, potty breaks, meals, exercise, and all the snuggles they need. If your pet requires a more constant-care schedule, please discuss those needs before booking. I do not provide in home boarding at this time, but am trained in proper walking procedures to prevent harm to your dog or others.

About: Hi there! My name is Cory and I am from Riverside, CA. I'm 24 years old and love animals immensely! I love going on walks and love playing with dogs, cats, and any other animal friends. I'm naturally great with animals and there have been times where vicious or otherwise unwelcoming animals have been known to be my friends in no time. I have owned dogs my entire life and I've owned cats for most of it. I have at least 9 years of experience of taking car of animals on my own. My wife is a registered animal care expert and has taught me so much about so many different animals. My wife even has her own website dedicated to teaching people about animals Wisepetclub dot com if youre interested. Thank you for reading my bio at all and taking the time out of your day to get to know me. I hope I get to take care of your pet in the near future 🥰 I have fully open availability, I just left a really bad job and I'm looking for work that I will actually love. I love animals so my wife suggested Rover I can go to any home and watch any animal for any amount of time required, thats all up to you! We have a small, but secure backyard with a pool if your dog likes to swim! Our fence is fairly high, but very big energetic dogs can probably get over it such as malinois or German shepherds. Anything smaller than that would be perfect. Our house is too small to watch, but my dogs are very friendly so they can have a playmate

“Jasmine is doing a good job. She is punctual and shows great care when with Bob. Bob is always happy to see Jasmine.”

About: I love many animals, especially dogs. Growing up I raised many litters of puppies and have always been around dogs. A several years ago my senior dogs passed away. And it took until recently for me to get another dog. Since I’ve taken care of family dogs and realized that this is something I would really like to do with my spare time, and I’d appreciate it if you would let me watch your fur family member. While taking care of your dog I will treat them like them they were my own and make sure they are well-tended. I like to go on runs and hikes so if you have dogs that need that extra exercise I can provide all the exercise they need. Your buddy is my buddy. I am fully insured as a pet sitter and certified in dog and cat CPR and First Aid. Although I work full time from home but my weekends tend to be very free, so I have spare time if you work weekends or get off of work late. As I cannot pet sit at my home, I will be sure to secure all doors and fences at your residence. Please let me know of any specifics for your pet.

About: I've been a dog sitter since my teens, which has given me a deep understanding of dog care. This long-term experience allows me to connect with dogs of all ages and personalities, ensuring they receive the best care possible while you're away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, especially now that I'm on a school break. I have ample time throughout the week to dedicate to your pet, ensuring they get all the attention and care they need! When caring for pets at a client's home, where your pet is most comfortable it allows me to fully focus on their needs and stick to their regular routine, ensuring they're happy and stress-free. I make sure to keep their space tidy and provide lots of love and attention to make them feel secure until their owner returns.

“Lisa came through last minute, with short notice at a later than desired time of day. I so appreciate her walking my baby girl. Thank you!”

About: I have cared for four of my family pets including a pup of my own for the past 7 years. I have helped train my family dogs and feel comfortable handling bigger breeds as my family has two big dogs (Labrador retriever + Old English Sheepdog). I understand that our pups are family and I will make sure to treat your pup as if it was my very own and follow any guidelines that you set. I’m currently working from home which allows me to create my own flexible schedule So that I am able to provide the best care for your pet! I have walked dogs that are 80+ lbs and feel very comfortable doing so. I have a very friendly pup of my own who enjoys going on long walks, but he can stay home if you prefer that I walk your pup alone.
