Dog Walking In Armour Square

“Tamara has been walking my dog Blowe daily since this summer, and I honestly couldn’t ask for better care. Blowe genuinely looks forward to his morning walks with her and always comes back happy and relaxed. Having someone I trust with him every day gives me real peace of mind.”

“I have a reactive dog and Angela was very understanding of the situation. I did my best to provide directions, so that and her experience with reactive dogs made it so taking out my dog was a breeze. Definitely will be booking Angela in the future!”

About: What sets me aside from other sitters is the love i have for animals. Since i was a little girl I've always loved being around animals they were and still are very therapeutic to me. I've had big dogs from Pitbull's, Dobermann, American bullies, all the way down to tiny dogs; yorkies, shitzu etc. even different kinds of cats you name it. As I've gotten older I've gained sooo much experience to the point I've had at home births with my dogs and cats all by myself; even home training my own animals as well. My goal here is to gain a work related reputation where i can truly start doing what i love and make a name for myself until i can become that super Veterinarian I've always dreamed of being. So far all i have is personal experience with dealing with animals at home and at my job(My residents animals). This would truly mean a lot if i can show off my skills and how genuine i am with animals and even people. Pet Care currently fits for me during the week days. I work doubles every Saturday and Sunday; whereas for school i do online Vet courses which is self pace. Which means i am free during the week Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm if communicated at least at least 30min-1hr in advanced i could stay later if needed. Although, I am a mother which means i can not do any services past 7pm nor any over night services. I also am located downtown Chicago but I am willing to travel!! One thing about me i will spoil your baby(s) haha; I am very hands on and affectionate with animals unless they require space lol. I have never been a crate animal person BUT i know every household is different and every animal requires different training. Again, animals bring a lot of joy to my heart; very therapeutic for me and if given the chance you wouldn't be disappointed i promise!.

“Mairead instantly clicked with my pup and was eager to do right by both of us. She’s a strong communicator.”

About: i’m patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. i take the time to make shy or anxious pets feel safe and comfortable, and i adjust my approach depending on their energy level and needs. i’m also very reliable with routines and communication, so you can trust your pet is getting consistent care and attention. pet care is part of my everyday routine, as i currently care for two kittens with consistent feeding, cleaning, and play schedules. i’m used to planning my day around their needs, so incorporating additional pet care is something i can do reliably & consistently. when caring for pets in a client’s home, i focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. i follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific preferences your pet has. i take the time to understand each cat’s personality—whether they’re social or more independent—and adjust my approach so they feel comfortable in their own space. i also keep the home tidy and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: While I do not currently share my life with a dog of my own (it's a matter of being unable to adopt every dog I lay my eyes on!), I dearly love helping pet parents keep their dogs happy and healthy and preferably in their own homes while their owners are away. I love to travel,and love to spend time with as many dogs as I can possibly fit into my day. You can often find me chatting with others about their animals, and I am always interested in hearing about every little detail. I enjoy helping people get a greater understanding regarding the welfare of their animals, and sometimes bore my friends with random and obscure dog breeds, and what I know of their temperament and behavior. I'm proud to say I try to research as many breeds as I can so that I know what to expect, and hey, it's always fun to just know why and how a breed came into existence! I happen to also be studying veterinary technology, for the knowledge of nutrition and behavior, since surgery is more information than I want. :D I am also very happy to drop by or stay with your cats, and am quite used to the varying personalities of these small creatures: the ones who like to play hide and seek, the aloof, the playful, and the grumpy. I don't mind at all, as long as the cat is comfortable, eating, and using their litter box, all is well! I can work my day around your dog or cat, as I am a dedicated sitter, and much prefer to spend my time enjoying the company of cats and dogs as much as I can. I much prefer to stay with the dog or cat in their own home, as having their familiar surroundings help them remain peaceful, happy, and comfortable.

“Namira has been amazing with my dog, Bella! She has been reliable taking Bella for a lunch time walk every day while I am at work, and is willing to travel to take Bella out. Leaving your dog is hard enough, but Namira makes it easier and sends me photos before and after walks. She is an absolute pleasure - I highly recommend!”

“Eunice was wonderful! She was extremely responsive and communicative and asked lots of questions to make sure she gave our pup the best care.”

About: I’ve volunteered at Chicago Animal Care and Control for years, so I continue to work with all sorts of animals with even the most troubled backgrounds. I’m comfortable with any temperament and can even administer medication if necessary. I’ve personally had pets my whole life, including cats, guinea pigs, and reptiles. Currently, I have a cat and a bearded dragon, and they’d love to make some new friends! :) I pet sit full-time, so I’m available all day and your baby has my full attention. I work in consulting and higher education usually, but I’m in between formal jobs at the moment, so I can be home all day. With only a cat and bearded dragon at home, I have enough space to house another cat or small dog. I don’t crate, but I can put them in separate rooms if necessary. They are my only job so I’d be around 24/7 to watch them.

About: I excel in both dog and cat care through my patience and attention to detail. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and personality so they feel comfortable and cared for. I also provide regular updates so you always have peace of mind. I am completely dedicated to caring for my own dog, and I’d love to care for your pet too! I’m newer to offering my services professionally, so I hope you will give me the chance to prove I am the safest and most loving option for your pet care! I have a very flexible job so I spend a lot of time at home with my dog. On weekdays we go for multiple 1-2 mile walks. On weekends we walk 5-6 miles a day. I live in an apartment, so I will take your dog to the designated turf for dog relief outside my building, or to one of the many nearby green spaces. I have a large wire crate and a large soft side crate that can be used for your dog if desired. In your home, I will respect all rules and protocols and ensure everything runs as smoothly as it would if you were there yourself.

“It was a pleasure working with Chauntrell to walk my boy! I received great progress pics and solid communication during the process. I appreciate knowing my son was well taken care of while I couldn’t be home. Thank you, Chauntrell!”

“Lillian has been great with my dogs and very communicative throughout the walks. She took the time to make sure they were comfortable, shared updates and photos, and went above and beyond with their care. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work with my schedule, especially while I was out of town. I felt confident knowing my dogs were in good hands, and I would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”

“Strong communicator and sweet energy with my pets. I was nervous about hiring a dog walker and Mariam helped put me at ease by demonstrating her trustworthiness.”

About: I am passionate about everything I do. When I get a job, I will make sure to put forth all my efforts and hopefully be the best at it. Although I don't have much experience, I know I will get along with any pets and anyone. From the many times I went dog walking, I learned to be patient and that's really helpful particularly for this job. I get to understand animals and myself more through different interaction. I really hope this will help me bond with others in my community and gain job experiences. Also, I know communication is a key skill to have for a job so I think this would be perfect. I am different from other walkers in that I have a super flexible working hours. Currently working gig so schedule is pretty open. Usually a afternoon person and love taking dogs on a city walk and explore the area surrounding my neighborhood. I will make sure all daily care is provided like feeding on time, potty frequently, and follow the suitable schedule for all pets. I will accommodate to all types of pets.

“Jaco & Matt had a great time together! Matt highly professional throughout the whole experience and was awesome about communicating what happened each day before, during, and after their walks. I would highly recommend Matt to any other folks who are looking for a Rover sitter in the Bridgeport area.”
