Dog Walking Bucktown

“My dog immediately loved Kristie as soon as she met her which is unusual for my dog who tends to be a little skeptical of newcomers. I love the updates and pictures I get of my dog as she is on her walks. Thanks so much!”

About: I grew up with dogs and while my current situation isn't conducive to owning, dogsitting and walking suffice the immediate urge. I grew up with St. Bernards, so I can handle dogs of all sizes. My schedule will be very open, but I enjoy waking up early and going on walks, so if that is something that you are looking for I would gladly volunteer my services. I am very active and am ready to tire out your dog in the yard or on a run when necessary. Looking forward to spending time with your dog! I'm taking some time in between jobs, so my days are wide open, but I play soccer in the evenings very regularly, so that is the only part of the day where I may have limitations. I am not able to offer boarding given my apartment restrictions, but I can assure you I will treat your home with care and respect.

About: I have nearly two years of professional experience working as a kennel assistant at two different animal care facilities, where I cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have experience administering medications, monitoring animal health, and confidently handling pets with a wide range of behaviors, including anxious, reactive, and energetic animals. I have also volunteered with cat rescue organizations, helping care for cats and prepare them for adoption into loving homes. As a pet owner myself, I care for one dog, four cats, and a lizard, giving me firsthand experience with the patience, responsibility, and compassion that every pet deserves. Pet care is currently my full-time focus, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most requests. In a few weeks, I will be starting college to become a veterinary technician. Once classes begin, I will be available after class Monday through Thursday and will have open availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I will do my best to be flexible and work with your schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, maintain your pet’s routine, provide plenty of love and attention, ensure a safe environment, and treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect and care.

“Our dog Gidget immediately bonded with Tristan and know that she was excited when he stopped by to give her a nice long walk. We came home to a happy, calm, and content dog. Tristan is the best!”

About: My family has always been an animal house; I have 3 dogs, a cat and a bird! I also have been housesitting and petsitting dogs and cats for my neighbors since I was 12-13. Additionally, I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter (Main Line Animal Rescue) by going through dog walk orientation and worked with all sorts of dogs. I am excited to help others out and watch over their pets using my experience! I’m home for the summer from college, so I have plenty of free time! I am available for dog walking, housesitting, or overnight sitting during days of the week and also weekends. I make sure to always pay attention to each pet and see what they need according to what the owner needs (food, water, bathroom time, playtime, walks) and make sure to keep an eye on them, as well as adjusting to what they prefer - whether it be a lot of pets or just some company! I am experienced with walking a lot of different dogs and will give them plenty of love and attention.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I've taken care of two dogs. I helped my parents with training our dogs and have also helped with a senior dog I am a recent college graduate just looking to take care of some pups! My schedule is very open and I am very flexible! Would love to get repeat clients! I have grown up around dogs and I adore them. I have a lot of experience with them and love working with them. When I walk them/let them out I do as the client asks, make sure they have water, toys, etc.

About: Since growing up with many different breeds of dogs, I have a lot of experience. I have pet sit and taken care of my neighbors dogs as well as other peoples dogs. I worked at a dog daycare in limerick called Dogtopia, so I have a lot of dog experience from that as well. I work a 9-5 on the weekdays and am mainly open on the weekends to help with anyone in need for dog walking or sitting! I take pet care very seriously. I love taking dogs for walks and giving them company in their homes as well. Any specific instructions you have, I will follow and make sure your dog is under good hands!

“Molly loved having Jessica take care of her!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs my whole life. I have also done pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors, and have worked on farms and at pet stores. My care experience includes dogs, cats, fish, rodents, birds, reptiles, cows, pigs, goats, and chickens. I'm currently available full time for house sitting, drop in visits, and dog walking, since I am taking exclusively online college classes during this year. I will cater to both you and your pets' specific needs, and will care for them with as much love and respect as I do my own.

About: I have always had pets in my life, dogs, cats, gerbils, snakes, turtles, fish... I am very comfortable with everything I've come across so far. I recently retired, and am looking for ways to help others, while doing something I enjoy. My daily calendar fluctuates, but with enough notice, I should be able to meet your schedule. I am very respectful of your home and property, and will do my utmost to follow your instructions to keep your loved-one(s) safe and well cared for.

“Thank you Sruthi for being so kind and attentive to Finn!”

“My dog Loki had a fantastic time going for walks and romps in the fields with Lauren. He's a high energy puppy and I enjoyed seeing his daily updates Lauren provided, that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Definitely will use her services again. Thanks a ton Lauren.”

About: I currently work from home for a family business, but I am looking to expand my own business and passion - taking care of animals! I worked for doggy daycares and boarding facilities for 3.5 years, ensuring the safety, happiness, and health of a wide variety of dog breeds and ages. I have administered medications, completed dog handling courses, and grooming training as well. This led me to groom professionally full-time for 2 years after college. I now prefer to do at-home bathing sessions and spend more time with pets one-on-one in a homey environment. In addition to dogs, I have taken care of fish, cats, amphibians, lizards, and birds. I have a 9 year old bunny of my own, so I am well-versed in rabbit care. Throughout high school, I volunteered at PetSmart taking care of the cats and at Diane's Pet Supplies, too, walking their dogs. These are all in addition to being my primary neighborhood dog-sitter/walker. Pet sitting fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely with a highly flexible schedule. This allows me to adjust my day around your pet’s needs—whether that means regular walks, consistent feeding times, play breaks, or simply being present for companionship. I’m able to provide frequent check-ins. For stays in my own house, because I’m home throughout the day, your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and interaction. My flexible schedule also allows me to closely follow your pet’s routine and provide consistent, attentive care to keep them comfortable and well cared for. I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable care for every pet I look after. I’m happy to take your dog on walks, follow feeding instructions closely, and administer any medications as needed. When caring for your pet in your home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while you’re away. I also pay close attention to behavior and overall well-being, ensuring your pet stays happy, healthy, and at ease. If your dog is staying in my home, they’ll be treated just like my own. They’ll enjoy plenty of affection, attention, and enrichment throughout the day—including couch privileges, treats (as approved), and lots of cuddles. Because I work from home, your pet will have near-constant supervision and companionship, allowing me to closely monitor their safety, comfort, and health for a smooth and enjoyable stay!

“Katie was amazing. Super responsive and just amazing with Chase. Treated him like her own and made sure he was happy and well played before she left him for the night. Even sent us pictures of the 2 cats for our own sanity as we l well.”

About: I've cared for a wide variety of animals for many years, from dogs, cats, horses, and donkeys - and those are just the ones in my backyard! I treat every pet like my own, as I know they're someone’s best friend. I will go above and beyond to make sure your four legged family members receive the best care possible! I have a very flexible and accommodating schedule, make it easy for me to drop in and care for your pet. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, I will make sure your pet gets the care they need! I treat every pet like my own, and will always follow the clients wishes and rules to make sure their pet is looked after just the way they need. I always respect the wishes of the home owner and pet owner. I want to provide both the owner and pet with the best experience possible!

About: I have raised pets for years and nursed puppies and kittens of all ages. I personally have 1 dog and 4 cats currently. I’ve trained my own dogs to be well mannered and good tempered while making sure they have plenty of room for fun. I treat all of my pets like children and make sure they are all taken care of as well as I can. I have experience with raising dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish. Every animal has their own personality and I have never come in contact with a pet that I’ve felt is too much. Patience is a virtue with all new animals and I make it a goal to make them feel comfortable with me. Our dog consistently goes on hikes with us. We force her on runs even as she gets older. She is 8 now and we keep her moving. They get very consistent play at home and occasionally I force my cats up from naps. Loves of love and pets, many forced cuddles from the animals.
