Dog Walking In Avondale

“Valerie is wonderful! Her communication is top tier and my dog loves her already. She is patient with him and always makes sure to give him a full 30 mins of enrichment even on rainy days when he is hesitant to stay outside. She is the best!”

Clare N.

“Best ever! Chase was very good at communicating prior to meet up and he understood what my pups needed. Excellent service. Will definitely book again”

About: I've grown up with a wide range of different dogs, with a range of different sizes and temperaments. In highschool adopted and trained a of my own, and because of my experience as a pet owner my extended family started to pay me to dog sit their pets, and they recommended me to their friends. When I moved out to Chicago my work made me too busy to own a dog myself, but now during the off season I have heaps of time and I miss having a furry friend around! I currently work from home, and so I'll be able to tend to your dog at all times of the day, making keeping their routine easy for me and your pup. I don't often have to leave the house for long periods of time, even with errands, but if I ever do I have roommates around who can make sure your dog doesn't feel lonely. I work from home currently and so your pup won't have to be alone when they visit with me. We don't have a yard, but our block has plenty of greenery and a handful of parks within a short distance of my house. My roommate has a cat as well, and she grew up with dogs before moving here and they've always gotten along really well. But she mostly sticks to my roommates room as she's prefers her own company over the company of others. I've got a big room I'm perfectly happy to share, so if your pup gets anxious alone at night you won't have to worry. They'll also have access to the living room throughout the day and night, so if they need some alone time in a new environment they'll be able to relax on our couch. With such an open schedule, if your pup needs to eat, go out, or get medication at a certain time we'll be able to make sure their routine doesn't get disrupted during their stay.

“Brooke helped me on short notice with a dog walk when I was away from home. She was very communicative and asked great questions. I will plan to book her again for future dog walks.”

“Sheena was great and went above and beyond to make sure my fur kiddo was well taken care of. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away.”

“Vanessa was so great caring for my puppy on a long workday. She’s very communicative and showed my reactive dog patience while still allowing her to get some outside time.”

About: My childhood household always included dogs and cats—at this point, pet care is second nature for me. I value each pet's unique personality and needs, and of course enjoy their company. You can typically find me befriending cats on the sidewalk during my daily walks & making a beeline for the host's dog at any party. My current apartment unfortunately does not allow pets so I'd love to scratch that itch through spending time with yours :) I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats, including those needing a higher level of care. My past petsits include a two-month stint living with a toothless cat while his humans were on a climbing expedition; a month spent with a menagerie of three cats and two dogs during an Arizonan summer; walking (as well as feeding, watering, and lightly grooming) my friend's reactive wolfhound when he's out of town; and most recently, caring for another friend's two cats while one had an infection requiring various medications and isolation from the other cat. I'm comfortable providing any care your pet needs ❤️ I'm currently unemployed & seeking another role—the upside of this is that my schedule is open and very flexible at this time. I live in Avondale so I can easily reach pets in Logan Square, Irving Park, Lincoln Square, Albany Park, Belmont Craigin, and any other neighborhood accessible by the Blue Line, Kimball, Belmont, Pulaski, or Diversey bus lines. I'm a big believer in reviewing instructions and asking clarifying questions. I always request an information write-up from pet owners ahead of meeting their pet & ask about anything I'm unsure of. I particularly make sure to ask if the pet is upset by anything, if they have any favorite toys, and if there's any petting spots I should avoid or be sure to hit.

“Carly was very accommodating and kind with our dog. She walked him 3 days in a row and was clearly a great companion for our little guy. We really appreciated all her help!”

“This is the second time I’ve requested Laura’s time, she was great as last time, it’s really scary leaving your pet with a stranger but I would definitely recommend Laura! Very responsive, kind, and most importantly my dog loves her”

About: I provide dog walking and drop-in visits focused on keeping pets safe, exercised, and loved. Whether it’s a long walk or a quick check-in with playtime and cuddles, I treat every pet like my own pup at home. I have a very flexible schedule on Tuesday/Wednesday, Friday and Sundays, so am happy to coordinate with you to determine what works best for you and your pup(s). I understand that your pet’s safety and well-being is number one priority. I’m mindful of secure entry/exit, proper leash handling, and maintaining a safe home environment. I always follow routines closely, and I will ensure communication with you as the owner every step of the way.

“Grace was super patient and wonderful with our excitable Bernese puppy! He loves her so much and helped work on his training during their walks. She is extremely capable with large dogs!”

Kenna O.

“Peter is the best ever! Always on time! Great information @ the walks! My dogs are so attached to his excellent personality! They are so happy to see him always!”

Kitty H.

“Salem loves Obie and I couldn’t be more grateful! They were a joy to have over for a little meet and greet with my pup Obie. He is an opinionated sassy cattle dog and would not do well with a stranger coming in unannounced! Fortunately, he loves Salem and is getting more confident each walk they do. They always give me picture and text updates while walking! I could be happier with our new dog walker ! Thanks Salem!”

Abi T.

“This was our first time using Rover and Dilrose made it so easy! They were responsive and went above and beyond to make us feel confident in the service. Loved all the pictures and it all was seamlessly. Def will be using Rover and Dilrose again! Thank you!”

Christopher L.

“Joel was great! Showed up on time, took Doris for her daily walk, and was patient with us when we accidentally locked him out of the house. Win win win.”

Gabriel H.

“Barbara was very attentive and punctual. She walked, fed and cuddled with Zelda during their time together. Would l highly recommend and can’t wait for the next time.”

Kenny S.

“Beatriz was an instant hit with my pup, Charlie! She was kind, slow, and won over this anxiety-ridden girl in record time. I’m impressed with her communication and 10/10 recommend her!”

Laura S.

“Lorena was great with Fusilli, who is very high energy and can be tough to keep focused on walks.”

Emily T.

“Desiree! So fantastic. Really flexible, willing to help us out last minute. Spent a good amount of time snuggling, playing with our doggo when we introduced them. She's clearly in tune with animals and didn't show any fear for our big lug. Thanks, Desiree! You'll be hearing from us again. ♥️”

Leah Y.

“Excellent walker. He’s good at winning over stubborn dogs. Reliable and good with the small touches most dog walkers miss like wiping paws if your dog gets them muddy. High recommend him. He’ll take good care of your pooch.”
