Dog Walking Burnside

About: I have up to a eight years of experience taking care of animals. The most known being cats, dogs, birds, and some farmlife. I also have experience in grooming regarding bathing dogs and cats. This is something I am currently working toward furthering my career in. I am currently unemployed, although I am working on getting a job. I care for two cats at home full time as well as the occasional care of my roommate's pet skink. I have a 7 year old and an 8 month old who is sometimes a full-time job himself. I currently live in an apartment so I do not offer care at my home due to my lease not allowing it. However, within the home of my client I try to keep a common eye on the animals, making sure they are fed, have water, and if required the litterbox/bathroom is done whenever they need it.

“Sharett is AMAZING! She did a great job walking Charlie (who isn’t always the easiest boy to walk). She even played with him a bit and made sure he ate a little of his food before leaving. I will definitely book again.”

About: It’s all about honoring the autonomy of each animal when building a bond plus providing them a safe and nurturing place to live and be while away from home. I am a Full-Time PET SITTER in Chicago running a cat sanctuary where our pet guests become a member of a loving family right away. We provide a healthy and safe space where pets are always free to roam plus enjoy the amenities of individual cat houses, window gazing, and human play.

About: I have a genuine love for animals and they can sense that. I have rescued two stray cats. They came at different times to my front porch waiting for something to eat. I adopted the last one and her name is Bonita. As a child, we always had dogs, so my love for them is inmense. For me they are not animals, they are little humans with a huge soul. I work as a freelancer so I have a lot of free time. My schedule is very flexible, so I can accommodate service as long I have one day in advanced notice I have a fenced yard where you dog can play in the company of my sweet and friendly cat. I ca crate your dog if needed. I can walk your dog close to your home. I live close to hyde park, Woodlawn, south chicago, south shore areas where we can walk to different parks or beaches.

About: My name is Tonisa and I love my furry friends. I have 2yo Labradoodle so she will be in the home as well. I enjoy the smiles dogs have, but only dog lovers would notice those. I have experience with diabetic dogs (if I need to give them insulin I do charge extra for that service $5 per day). Other than that I have a big fenced yard for them to play in. They will go on a morning walk and 2 evening walks. I know how I was when I would go out of town so I’m more than happy to send photos and FaceTime while I have your pup. (Pls bathe my new buddies before drop off) See you soon :) I work from home. So for most part I will be with them. If I leave out it’s never too long. Ava will be in the home with them so they won’t be alone/bored. I care for you pup like they are my Ava Bear. They are able to rome around in the same common areas that Ava is aloud. Because I have my own fur baby I am full time pet owner which requires me to take her out, feed and walk her. Your baby will just fit right into our daily schedule I have a fenced yard. If your dog is a jumper please let me know. I allow the dogs the run freely in the back yard. If it’s too hot, unfortunately I do not let them play outside long. Once the sun goes down I then let them stay out longer. The dogs are typical fed breakfast and dinner with snacks in between. Please bring snacks (I don’t want to cause any discomfort while in my care).

About: In the few years I’ve been caring for various animals of my own and others, I feel I treat them as if they are my own human children. I see them as more than pets but companions that deserves a home away from home. I work from home most nights and have plenty of time to care and closely monitor your pets. Playtime is always a given with my own dogs as well I can ensure you that while your pets are in my possession, they are closely monitored and will be entertained. Like stated before I work from home most nights so I’m flexible to work and care at the same time

I have experience walking, feeding, monitoring, and caring for dogs (large-small, puppy-senior), reptiles, small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, ferret etc.), I have my own pets including, two terrier mixed dogs, an American bull toad, and a free roam rabbit. I have cared for my family's dog as well. I am available during the weekdays, Monday-Friday mornings and afternoons. My weekends vary based on my availability but I can be flexible and discuss more in consultation. I have my own vehicle so I am able to check in and care for your pet, and help them at a moments notice in case of emergency's, I have a large fenced in yard at home that allows for plenty of space for your fur baby to explore, walk and play for a few hours.

About: I’ve had my maltipoo since 2020 and have taken care of dogs since then as well. I’m very organized and attentive to your animals needs! I just moved to Chicago so i have a lot of free time especially during the summer while i look for other jobs. I love having new energy around me at all times :) I have a very safe apartment complex with an enclosed backyard. Lots of toys for them as well to make them feel comfortable! I’m attentive and a very good listener to all of their needs

About: I’ve worked at multiple dog hospitals and dog daycares and have taken care of dogs my entire life whether it’s my own or a family members. I go through it with the thought in mind that the dog needs to do everything before me so I’m more focused on making sure the dogs get what they need food,bathroom,ect. I go through a whole routine of waking up in the morning and letting the dogs out to go to the bathroom and then bringing them back in to eat and I’ll repeat that at noon and around 7 or 8pm for dinner.

“Emily did a wonderful job of walking my two dogs. She was able to accommodate a last minute request which I greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Before joining Rover, I regularly used Wag to walk and care for dogs, so I’m familiar with working with different breeds, temperaments, routines, and owner preferences. I’m new to Rover, but not new to dog walking or pet care. I’ve also cared for dogs in my own home and helped friends and family with their pets. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, senior dogs, shy dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I enjoy long walks, exploring new neighborhoods, and making sure every dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and care they need. I live on Chicago's Far South Side, but most of my clients are in neighborhoods farther north, including Lincoln Park, Fulton Market, and nearby areas. I’m happy to travel for scheduled walks and drop-in visits, so I’m a good fit if you’re looking for a reliable walker or sitter who is willing to come to you. I’m happy to accommodate each dog’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, special instructions, and plenty of updates while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a reliable sitter, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine through caring for my own dogs. I’m used to incorporating walks, feeding, play, training, and general care into my day and paying close attention to each dog’s individual needs. I currently work part-time, and I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable managing dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize safety and make sure all dogs are comfortable with one another. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines and instructions closely and focus on keeping their pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Tamara has been walking my dog Blowe daily since this summer, and I honestly couldn’t ask for better care. Blowe genuinely looks forward to his morning walks with her and always comes back happy and relaxed. Having someone I trust with him every day gives me real peace of mind.”

About: Hi! I’m Jocelyn, a dependable and caring pet sitter based in Chicago. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, turtles, and guinea pigs, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just lots of love and attention, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to learn their routine so they feel at ease. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, pets receive plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and affection. I can easily accommodate their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel at home. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and routines. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like family and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind.

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, mostly hounds but lots of experience with all breeds! I am more than happy to work with dogs of any age and have experience with caring for high needs and senior dogs. i am no stranger to a mess and have no problem cleaning up any type of accident. i love all dogs but my heart really goes out to the big pups out there <3. i am quite comfortable with working with dogs that have behavioral/agression issues, given i am properly informed and prepared. i have a fairly open schedule most of the time. i work freelance contractually from time to time, but i am always available to take a break and come see your fur baby. i am returning part time to school in the fall, but that should not interfere with care timings I am very comfortable with dog procedural things. I have experience walking many sizes of dogs, as well as crating and proper and safe playtime. i believe that dogs tell us a lot more than some people let on, so as of course i will follow your guidance in care, i also want to listen to your dogs attitude and communication as well

About: I’m really a dog lover and have always been around them. They’re kids honestly. Imagine a different one per day that’s amazing to me ! Recently moved to Illinois where I now work for Alter Domus, an investment firm in Downtown Chicago and it’s work from home. I have all the time in the world to watch them !! Love them and it’s definitely therapy to me also. Continuing what I started in Ohio with Rover here ! My neighborhood is full of dogs and grass for them to walk. It’s away from danger and quiet, there might be a friend outside too.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets, from puppies, kittens, small dogs, large dogs and more. Senior dogs with medicinal needs are a breeze! I work remotely and have plenty of time to play with your pups and cats! I have two pups of my own who hang out with me and my partner all day! I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly pups who love to sun bathe. We love a game of tug or fetch and we love to snuggle.

About: I have taken care of pups and kittens to older cats and dogs for about 5 years. I understand that they need love and care just like us humans do. I mostly work on my computer and take care of my daughter so, I'm pretty flexible. Their every need will surely be met. I have a 3-year-old and she loves animals, although she will be at school a great deal at the time. I have a nice space for dogs to walk around or play in my apartment as well as a park down the street with a big field. I am hospital and respectful in the dog's home as well.

“Toby has a new best friend and it’s Ella! Highly recommended for your fur babies needs”
