Dog Walking Arlington Heights

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve owned everything from dogs, cats, rodents, birds and insects over the years. I’ve been a volunteer at pet rescues over the years and have an extra-special fondness for pets in their golden years. I’ve done a lot of pet sitting over the years, which has included everything from walks, baths and play to administering medication and cleaning up accidents - there isn’t a lot that phases me. I treat each pet like I would my own, giving them the same love, care and attention they get from their family. I look forward to doing the same for yours 😊 I work from home during the week with a flexible schedule which allows me the opportunity to care for pets during the day - whether it’s for a walk, a check-in for a potty break, or even just for some cuddles and play. My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible, which means I’m happy to follow whatever routine it is that you have set. Does Max need their food heated up to a specific temperature so they’ll eat it? Done. Does Gabby need to be crated? No problem. All pets are unique, so their needs can be too. I always go over routines and preferences with parents to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable. I know when I have entrusted my pet to someone else I love getting pictures, so you can rest assured if you do too I will send them as much as you want! You are also always welcome to ask for them anytime, no matter how often. As your pets wellbeing is my priority, I can ensure my focus is 100% on them when we’re together.

About: I've owned/been around dogs since I was a little kid, I've watched dogs for friends and have always been entrusted with their animals. I am prompt and on time, great with walks, potty breaks, and feedings when needed or requested I am free most of the time because of how my work schedule is and can be available on short notice to take care of your pets needs, whether that's just letting them out to go potty, feed and water them and take them on walks. I just hangout with them. I play games with them, do their nails, brush teeth if that's what's needed, go for short or long walks to the river or park and treat them as if they are my own baby.

About: With over 6 years of pet care experience, I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every pet like my own, so you can feel confident your furry family member is in great hands. I'm currently working pier diem, so I can set my hours and change my days off which works wonders when it comes to watching your furry pet! I have a fenced yard, and a very friendly pup! I can take them potty as much as they need, keep them on your schedule you have at home, and they will get plenty of walks and playtime!

About: I have a giant 110 pound dog and I have been walking him for years. I have a lot of experience with walking all types of dogs, big, small, reactive, and trained. I currently only do DoorDash deliveries and Instacart deliveries for income, so my schedule is flexible and open. This is what I’m looking to do for income. I won’t necessarily be able to bring the dogs to my house because one of my dogs is not too fond of other dogs, but I can walk your dogs and feed your cats.

About: Fostering puppies, horses, and birds was a family job growing up. I have experience in taking care of sick, recovering, and aging dogs. Both my dogs currently are 11 years old, so I know how stressful it can be trying to find care for them. They require more frequent restroom visits, focused care on comfort, and overall more time and attention. I can help with that! I've trained both dogs, have experience with training puppies, and can manage high or low energy animals. I'm currently in college full-time. Most of my days are spent studying on campus, which means I have a need for some fur therapy! I'll gladly walk, feed, and play with your pets as much as needed. Non-verbal cues are essential to building trust with animals. I do my best to pay attention to how my own pups communicate through head position, tail, eye, and mouth movement, as well as general body language. I'm a stranger to your pup, so I'll be sure to act carefully until they're comfortable with me. I know how important a routine is-my pups are getting older, and the more they age, the more they want to stick to a schedule! I hope to know more about how you take care of them, what their day looks like, and will do my best to replicate so the transition isnt rough!

About: I've been a Veterinary Assistant for 3 years and have been involved with animals for even longer. I have extensive experience in all sizes of dogs, from Chiweenies to Mastiffs. And experience from rasing puppies and kittens to caring for my cutie geriatric patients. . I also have experience caring for reptiles, small(er) mammals, birds, and even horses! . I am very confident in my ability to read your animals behavior and translate it into the words they can't say. My hours are pretty flexible at the moment as I work from 10-6 and am free on weekends! I'd love to squeeze in some time with some cuddly faces before and after that! I can medicate your babies as needed and make sure they're getting enriched while their parents are away! Can walk and play and ensure their food is fresh for the picking!

About: I have been involved with various animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up around cats, dogs, horses, and exotics. Recently I worked as a vet tech at a veterinary office so I have experience administering medication to cats, dogs, and horses. Most recently I worked at a dog boarding facility where I watched, fed, walked, trained, gave medication, and bathed, up to 50 dogs at a time. I am happy to work with you around your schedule and habits with your pets. I strive to make life easier for pet owners while ensuring their pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work around your needs and your pet’s routine. The only times I may be unavailable are when I have occasional prior commitments. I will be respectful to your home and your pet's normal routine. I am happy to follow any guidelines you may have about your pet's food, sleeping conditions, toys, comfort, etc.

About: I’ve been around pets my whole childhood and my neighbors dog was twice my size and walking him was no issue. I’ve had cats my whole life and am somewhat of a whisperer. I’ve taken care of rodents as well when I had a pet rat. I am always available for any pet sitting needs. I currently don’t have a job or school lined up so I am all yours anytime of the week. I love playing with pets because it makes me feel like a kid and that’s really special. I can adapt to any process you might have to care for your pets. I am a kind and gentle soul for pets to warm up too. I have the stamina to keep up with energetic dogs aswell.

About: Experienced, full time sitter, with a beautiful 5 acre property for the pups. A large fenced section for outdoor play and comfortable sleeping arrangements inside of the home. You can be confident that your pup is on a luxury vacation while you are on vacation OR will come home exhausted from daycare after your work day! Please make sure you have a complete pet profile and review the information below, prior to sending a request. Thank you for your interest! I host multiple dogs at a time and have a fantastic group of well socialized, regular visitors. My home is best suited for friendly, trained and socialized pups. Happy to accommodate to shy & senior pups. Can handle basic medical issues, such as administering ear drops, eye drops, medications, bathing, etc, with ease. I understand your dog is a member of the family and can keep up with all special requests. *Please ensure your pup is up to date on all vaccines, flea prevention and has a clean fecal exam prior to their visit. We can have a full house some days and want to keep all the pups healthy!* I am a full time sitter and am usually home all day, however please plan for up to 4 hours a day where I may be offsite and your pet will be monitored over pet-cam. They can either be crated or in an open sleeping dog room at that time. Safety, supervision and FUN are my top priorities for every stay. You can trust that your pup is in a controlled environment with a fenced backyard. Confident dog handler, great photos guaranteed. It's all about the dogs! Crate training is not required but encouraged for inquiring customers. Depending on the schedule, I have to decline non crate trained dogs occasionally.
