Dog Walking in Buffalo Grove

“Leora is absolutely phenomenal and I can’t recommend her enough. I am a super overprotective dog and cat mom and get very nervous leaving them with a sitter (or literally anyone that isn’t me). She is so fantastic with them and sends updates with multiple pictures after each visit. If you are looking for a sitter or walker, please have a consultation with her first! If her 5 star reviews don’t convince you, watching her interact with your pets will!!! There is absolutely nothing more valuable than the peace of mind of knowing your pets are being loved and cared for and seeing your pets smile in their pics. ;) My cup runneth over…We adore you, Leora!”

“Hanna was wonderful with Jaxx on his first walk. He was shy at first since he’d never had a walker before, but her calm and patient approach helped him warm up quickly. She let him walk at his own pace, shared detailed updates, and even sent a picture, which I really appreciated. I felt very relieved and will definitely continue using her services”

“Andrea was great for walking my dog. She was timely to when she said she would be there and kept me updated with her communication. Would recommend!”

“Karina was delightful to meet and she did a great job with our two dogs. She went the extra mile for us by doing it all on a short notice. We really appreciated her being available to lend a walking foot so we could go to Chicago for the day.”

About: I provide attentive, high-quality care tailored to each dog’s needs. I’m experienced with structured routines, leash handling, and reading dog behavior to ensure a safe and positive environment. Whether your dog needs exercise, structure, or just extra affection, I deliver dependable, top-tier care every time. My schedule is currently flexible as I am in between work allowing me to be available morning-evenings. Whether you’re looking for a morning walk or running late from work I can be there. I try to keep things as normal as possible for your dog while you’re gone. I follow your routine, make sure they’re well-fed, walked, and getting plenty of attention. I’m also very respectful of your home and keep everything clean and in order.

“Bermet is great. Communication is great and Redmond loves the walks. Thanks!”

About: I have hands-on experience raising and caring for my own dog from puppyhood. As the primary dog walker and caregiver, I played a major role in his daily care, including potty training, teaching him his name, and training basic commands and tricks. This experience taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand a dog's behavior and needs at different stages of development. Because I helped care for and train a young puppy, I'm comfortable working with dogs that require extra attention, structure, and exercise. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing positive reinforcement, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As an incoming pharmacy student at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, I'm also highly responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to following care instructions closely. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. As a college student currently on summer break, I have plenty of availability and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to provide attentive care, accommodate a variety of schedules, and spend quality time with your pet rather than rushing between commitments. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or companionship, I can provide reliable and consistent care throughout the week. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that helps them feel comfortable and secure. During walks and visits, I stay attentive, follow all care instructions closely, and ensure pets are always in a safe environment. I also understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, so I'll provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own dog.

About: Hi everyone! I am a teacher & dog mama who is looking to keep busy this summer and help take care of your fur babies! I have been helping take care of pets and house-sitting for over 8 years. I’ve had both dogs and a cat as pets so I am very familiar & comfortable with them. I have experience with caring for dogs starting at 8 weeks up until their senior years, so I know how important it is to stick to a schedule when it comes to potty breaks or medication. Since I am a teacher, I have most of the summer completely free on the week days and weekends other than a few weeks where I will be traveling. I am able to stay at your home all day and night if needed, to help watch over fur baby. I ensure that your pet stays comfortable in your own home by respecting their space and boundaries at all times. If you have a pet that is a bit shy towards new people, I do my best to give them space and not overwhelm them with my presence. I will stick to any schedule you may have to ensure that your pet has an easy transition while you are away.

“Jason quickly made a strong connection with our lab, Ralph, and with us. He puts extra time, thought and effort into his care of Ralph which has made a difference. He is also extremely responsive and provides detailed information about each interaction. He’s terrific!”

About: I'm a dedicated dog owner that handles all aspects of pet care including (not limited to)... walking, picking-up-after, feeding, washing, brushing teeth, etc... I put 100% effort in everything I do and it's easy when you enjoy what you're doing. My other endeavors are real estate related. I'm a licensed agent and property manager. I'm currently in charge of my own schedule with my other pursuits, so I have flexibility to coordinate pet care in a manner that is convenient for you. As a homeowner, pet owner, and experienced real estate professional with fiduciary responsibilities, I take great care of my client's property, assets, pets, and personal belongings. It shouldn't go unsaid even when your pets encounter someone new they should feel a familiar affection.

About: As a child I’ve grown up with dogs. My grandfather cared for Black Russian terriers, and I helped him take care of new litters every summer. I’ve also had a cat all my childhood, who I loved so very much. I am well experienced with pet sitting for family friends, and have had experiences with dogs and cats of all sizes, big or small! I would be happy to help you care for your pet, I have recently graduated from UIUC. I am home for the summer so my schedule is very flexible! I am available to care during any time of day/night, so long as the details are communicated beforehand we should be great! I will cater to the pets and owners need however they see fit! If you would like a simple walk, and a refill of water and food that’s great, if you’d like me to keep your pet company that’s fine too!

“Jen was amazing with my dog Bear! I felt like he was loved on and looked after under Jen’s care. Thank you so much for taking great care of my baby!”

“Hollyn went above and beyond my expectations. I feel like she treated my dog and cat as if they were her own. She keeps me informed and is punctual. I would love to hire her again.”

“Cathy is incredible! Right from the start, she offered to come meet my dog ahead of time and as soon as she walked in I knew she would be a great fit. She took the time to play with him, pet him, and let him get to know her. As a result, when she arrived to pick him up for his walk, he was happy to see her! This extra care to getting to know my dog (and letting him get to know her!) is so appreciated - especially since I have had other walkers give up on him. I would recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking for a caring and compassionate sitter or walker.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs almost all my life. I am also close relatives first option when it comes to looking after their pets. I currently have lots of free time to help look after your pets! I have six pets that I take care/help take care of it would be no problem adding more. I like to make sure all pets I look after are treated with as much care as my own. I have a fenced in yard but am more than willing to take dogs on daily walks.

About: hello! my name is charlize i’m 22 i’ve grown up with animals my whole life and now i currently work at an animal hospital helping taking care of the dogs and cats that come in to see the vet. i’m very experienced with animals and taking care of animals and i love all different kinds of animals. i’ve worked at the animal hospital now for two and a half years and its been the most amazing two and a half years of my life. i am also going to school to practice becoming a veterinarian so i am really excited to meet all new furry friends for more experience. i am good with administering medication, i am good with dealing with aggressive dogs, i am good with any diabetic cat or dog with dosing insulin. you name it and i can do it!! i work part time hours at the animal hospital during the summer months and full time during fall and winter but i am extremely flexible, as i work on my terms and conditions. i am willing to fit last minute accommodation if it works with my personal schedule but i can also take time out of my day if needed to walk a dog etc. i unfortunately cannot have pets in my building but i am more than willing and able to go to anyone else’s beloved home to pet sit, or walk, or feed animals. i come in with a soft expression and wait for the animals to get used to me and my scent and then i wait for their approval to come further in their home/space. i am very careful to not touch them when they don’t want to be touched and i am always patient with animals especially if they’re new to my route.

“Hannah was soooo wonderful with our senior dog. She took many pictures and communicated with us the entire time we were away which made us feel very at ease. She even brought a gift bag of treats for him and asked many questions regarding his needs! I would definitely recommend her for any care taking needs and would love to rebook her the next time we are away.”
