Dog Walking Brighton Park

“Mariam has been a great dog walker for our senior dog Hannah- she is attentive, observant, caring and a great communicator. She goes above and beyond by giving our cats some attention as well and picks up on small details with our dog who is on medication which brings us such peace of mind.”

“We are very grateful we found Mike! He is great with our two large dogs and has worked hard on keeping us updated on their walks, and working with them on listening better while walking. He is very responsive and respectful of our home, and we look forward to working with him again.”

About: I've had cats for many years, and I love taking care of them, playing with them and simply spending time with them. I have a good approach to the shyer cats. I also understand the habits and needs of dogs, and I enjoy going on walkies with them. Whatever task it is, I will handle it with love and responsibility. I am very flexible. If your plan changes, just lmk, I'd be happy to adjust to your convenience. I look forward to filling my time outside of going to community college by taking care of your pet! I don't have a job right now, and I have plenty of free time besides going to community college, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. The place I'm living in right now doesn't have space for pets, but I can come over and take care of and feed them.

About: I have specific experience with big dogs from years of housesitting-no dog is too big to me! I also have a soft spot for elderly dogs. I am still developing training skills so I prefer dogs that are leash-trained, but I am used to some strong pulling and excited walkers. I can walk up to 11 miles, and am happy to gets your pup's steps in to tire them out for you! I love routines and am happy to create a schedule that works best for everyone. I do work a full-time job, so I only have specific hours I can sit/walk. I do work consistent hours, so I am more suited for a regular schedule to help support you during your work or school hours. I am otherwise flexible and do not mind plans being changed the day of, just please clear the time with me prior to scheduling! I cannot keep pets in my home due to lease restrictions. I am happy to sit and feed pets at your home, or just keep them company. I don't mind watering a few plants here or there either!

About: When I’m not working as a teacher, I spend a good amount of time with my tailless cat, Joji. I grew up with animals my whole life, including but not limited to cats, dogs, and even service animals. Would love to watch over your magnificent mascotas! As a teacher, my schedule is generally free during the summer. Anytime between 8am and 5pm is ideal, yet I can make exceptions if needs arise Rest assured your pets will be given the utmost care and love. Whether it is through walking the animal, feeding, or given it attention, I’ll be there!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13, mainly my own, but I’ve also taken care of friend’s and family friend’s dogs in these past 3 years, so I understand the anxiety or fear of leaving a part of your family in the care of someone that isn’t you and won’t treat your pet like you will. That’s why I always adjust and accommodate my services to every pet’s needs. When it comes to basic care of pets, I always take puppies and dogs on walks at whichever time of day that they need to go out, always making sure to bring snacks and water so they always stay hydrated and healthy. I make sure they have enough playtime inside and outside so they don’t get bored and are entertained. I understand that not every dog wants to play or can’t move too much, so I of course adjust these activities to accommodate every pet’s individual needs so they’re always comfortable and happy. I also have experience with senior care, specifically giving dogs the medicines they need at the intended hours of the day or night. It goes without saying that my main priority are the pets in my care so I also make sure to always check up on every pet at different hours and times, rarely leaving them out of my sight (while also keeping my distance if they’re resting) to ensure they’re always okay. I work part-time remotely since I finished university in March of 2024. So I have no issues with times and days that will work best for you and your pets! I care for pets in client’s homes by making sure they’re never missing anything, from food, water, toys, time to go to the bathroom, medicines if they take them, etc… I make sure pets understand I’m simply there as an aid for them and someone they can play with if they choose to! I’m simply there to ensure every pet is taken care of while also having time to play and give them their space, after all, it’s their home and they need to feel the most comfortable and safe in their own space.
