Dog Walking Bucktown

“Loretta is a dream! She has been with us through my first dog who passed, and a new puppy, and when she moved away my heart was totally broken. We had some fill-in sitters but none that really lived up to the Loretta standard! I was so happy to learn that she recently moved back to the local area, and she has now taken her place back into our daily life here! She gives an amazing daily update, sends lots of pics, and truly cares about our furry family members. She even notes when things are off around the house and will send me an update as needed. We could not be happier with her care!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I have trained my puppy who is well-behaved and so sweet. I love animals, sometimes more than people at times. I will take great care of your fur baby as if they were my own. I will be available for pet care on the weekdays after 4:30 and in the mornings on Saturdays. Some Sundays will be available as well depending on the time. I care for my pets as if they are part of the family, and I will do the same for your pet. I will make sure your pet is happy and healthy.

About: I have walked a friends dog for around 2 years. I also sat for them once last year. I also take care of my dog of 4 years. I am a free for almost the entire day,except on Sundays. The evening I like to keep clear just in case. This schedule might change once I get a job. I love walking dogs, especially in the mornings when it’s cool. This service is easy to take off an owners plate, when they need it.

About: Hello my name is Aléna, I’ve been taking care of animals since I was little. Animals are so amazing to me and I love their personality’s. Looking forward to meeting you pet. My availability is really open, don’t have any dogs of my own, but grew up with them. I miss the connection. So I thought, I would put myself out there, to help service them. In my home I care for my cat Bella by giving her lots of love and making sure to keep her litter box cleaned and let her have her outside time around the yard. My cat Toby, I give him treats and try to teach him some tricks. Give lots of attention and time to play with his toys. He’s a little monster but I love him. Having a clean environment is not only necessary for your animals but yourself. I do the litter box multiple times a week.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I don’t think there was a year in my life where I did not have a dog to help take care of! I have taken care of small dogs, medium dogs, and big dogs! We also had a lot of other animals while I was growing up. I’ve taken care of birds, fish, reptiles, and even rabbits. So I am happy to take care of other pets as well if you have them and we can talk prices! Depending on the needs of your pets, I will form my schedule around taking care of them! As of right now this is my main job but as soon as I find another job this will become something I do on the side for a passion hobby. I will always start by asking the owner of the pets to explain their needs and wants before implying anything that I would do on my own. (Customer needs and wants come first) I have fun playing with the animals dogs and cats alike. So if they have favorite toys if I am house sitting then I will let them have fun with that! If I am walking dogs I tend to keep a steady pace so that the dogs get good healthy exercise.

“Shanley walked my dog while I was out of town and everything seemed to go really well. My dog is big, very energetic, and wary of new people, but Shanley took it in stride and approached the situation with understanding and patience. It's great that she can give my dog some exercise and much-needed outside time while I'm away. I definitely plan on using Shanley's services more in the future!”

About: I’m the person you’ll find in the corner at a party hanging out with the dog (or cat). I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, have experience pet sitting and walking, and adopted both of my pets. I also trained my dog, Pinto, myself, so I have hands-on experience with training, routines, and plenty of different dog behaviors.

About: Hello, my name is Allyson! Im a stay-home Wife, Part-time College Student and Full-Time Pet Parent. I’ve cared for a vast variety of animals since I was a child including dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians and poultry. I currently have (3) dogs, (2) chickens,(1) gecko, (1) dart frog, (3) hermit crabs, (2) millipedes and a bunch of stick bugs! As for the dogs, I have one puppy, one adult and one senior. Each dog was a former rescue with their own set of special needs, health issues and behavior challenges, in which I have diligently worked to improve over the years. With this said, I understand, pets can be time consuming and life gets busy… so let me help! Do you need help with feeding, potty breaks, socializing and/or playtime, message me to work out a care plan and I can ensure you I will give your animal the same love and care in which I give my own. Look forward to working with you!!! PS: I come with dog treats unless owner states otherwise. I’m a stay home wife / pet parents and part time student. My schedule is usually pretty open aside from Tuesdays and Thurdays when I have a morning and a night class. Additionally my morning are usually pretty busy caring for my own animals, so I prefer to do walks and check ins after 12pm, although I’m willing to make exceptions. I care for clients pets just as I would my own. I have pet set for a number of friends and family members, with no incident which can be shown my reviews. Additionally prior to my time as a college student , I was a property manager , so I have plenty of experience entering and exiting my tenants homes in a safe and responsible manner. I will often reach out to clients in the event of questions, comments, concerns and/or just notice anything out of the ordinary.

About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.

In my own home I’m very aware of our pets safety and will be the same in yours. I will respect any house rules that are in place.
