Dog Walking Carpentersville

“Katie’s first day with dog walking was a success. I loved her pictures and very complete reports. On the meet and greet Brody loved Katie. Katie is obviously a dog lover and knows and understands how to make them happy and content.”

About: My Fiancé and I have had big dogs and small dogs throughout both our lives! With that, I have 2+years of experience as a kennel technician where I had worked with a variety of different dog sizes and breeds. My background includes working with dogs that require specialized care, such as those with mobility challenges, sensory impairments, or chronic health conditions. I am adept at adapting environments and routines to ensure their comfort and safety. I currently have a very flexible schedule where I am available to work anytime you are needing, all week long and I am also able to travel a considerable distance as well! I have a small dog that is young and playful and loves to play on our backyard. And I also have an older medium sized dog who is kind of moody but usually keeps to herself! We have a house full of dog toys and treats because both of my dogs are very spoiled.

About: I love and enjoy all breeds. I enjoy different pet personalities and learning their unique traits. I've had my own dogs and cats and have helped others with their pets. I'm currently not working a full time job and looking to fill my time playing with you fur babies. I'm adaptable to schedules and dependable. My yard is fenced and my dog enjoys the home to its fullest. As a black lab puppy he does crate for short times if I'm not home, but other then that he is out and about. There's a space for him in almost every room.

About: I have always taken care of family pets, and within the last 3 years have opened up to family friends, and their friends who looked for pet care. I do not limit myself to just cats and dogs, I can care for more exotic animals such as ferrets, turtles, reptiles, rabbits, etc. I am able to administer medications as needed. Pet sitting is a big part of my schedule. I have spent up to 3 weeks caring for family pets, both overnights and drop ins. Although I have the families I love to care for, I am excited to meet some friendly faces and give more love to! I care for peoples pets preferably in their own homes. I always like to do a meet-and-greet following up to my stays/visits. I always follow how parents ask for me to care for each pet to keep them in a routine they know and love.

About: I have my own dog. I've grown up with dogs. I worked at a pet store when I was a teenager, and have house/pet sat before. Although, I'm not a vet, I'm observant and will keep an eye out for issues that concern you. Pet health is important. That includes nutrition and grooming. I know some think there is such a thing as over involved pet parents, I think they're family and should be treated as such. I volunteer at my church every Thursday, Backpack Program fifth Wednesdays (when they occur) and Orphan Grain Train every other month on the third Thursday. Otherwise, I take care of my dad who has COPD. I have to be home to cook for him. And take care of my own dog. Eventually, I will allow dogs to stay with me overnight, but I want to make sure my dog and said dogs get along. So that is my availability. I have a pitbull mix. She is very good around other dogs. Especially after she gets to know them. She's not aggressive, just tends to hump when excited. All dogs will need a leash if they are coming with me. I have walking trails in my community. I have no problem walking your dogs in them. Please make sure they have up to date tick meds. Also I live with my dad he will be petting and loving any pet that spends the night. My house is two story, so if you have a senior dog that needs help just let me know.

About: It all started with the next-door neighbor's cat, Honey. She was my first pet I took care of when they went out of town. I have always loved animals. Since then, I have had (so many!) of my own pets, and I got into the Veterinary Business as a young adult. I spent close to 30 years in VetMed, and now co-own a dog training business. I can not only love and cuddle your pets while away, but I am very comfortable administering medications (including injections), trimming toenails and cleaning ears! I can't wait to meet and fall in love with your babies! I am flexible, but do have to work around a Full-Time job. I also co-own a business, but I can make my own schedule around other things. (One of the perks of business ownership.) I am trustworthy, and can provide references upon request. I will treat your home and your babies as if they were my own. I will also water plants and bring in mail!

About: Been taking care of dogs, cats, and all types of animals for as long as I can remember! Eager & hard working college student with a flexible summer schedule, will accommodate with any needs for your family! I’m currently on summer break for college, so I’m extremely flexible. I can be with your pet at anytime, and I will always send updates on your furry friend! I have a fenced in yard in my own home with my own pets. However, I know most will want me checking in on their own home, which is no bother for me! I’ve always been very caring with animals so I’m very excited to meet some puppies!

About: I can’t remember a time I haven’t had at least one dog in my home, from rescues to puppies to fostering! I have been trusted to care for pets of friends and family’s pets for years when they needed the help! I have a Great Dane and a long-haired tuxedo cat 🐾🩷 I am currently a full-time nursing student finishing up my RN, and my schedule is generally pretty flexible. I expect to have more time this summer after I graduate as well! I can do check-ins on your pets, feed as needed, take them on walks, and spend a little time with them to help break up their day. I am able to administer medication as well, and have lots of experience with puppies.

About: 3 years ago I raised a litter of 10 golden retriever pups and it was as rewarding as it was challenging! Loved every minute though. 😊 My availability is wide open at the moment! Needing a career change and dogsitting/walking/care would make me much happier then being stuck in an office! Our apartment doesn't allow pets unfortunately but I am more than happy to provide services in home or at a park, whichever is more preferable.

About: I am very skilled with animals ! I’ve grown up with showing and raising different kinds of animals my whole life ! It would be a pleasure to help care for yours ! I’m currently a server at a restaurant , I work a couple night shifts weekly ! During the day I am open and free ! I currently live in a nice neighborhood with our own fenced in yard ! I also have a dog which is a golden retriever and she loves other dogs !

About: I’ve always always had a soft spot in my heart for animals. My parents have always had a ton, from a bunch of different breeds of dogs to pigs, to chameleons, to bunnies. I’ve always had experience with animals, it’s odd if I don’t have one around! I have a kitty named Nala and a Cocker Spaniel named Goose. They are my pride and joy! I feel as though pet care is just as important as self care. Animals are there for us, as our support, therefore, they should be taken care of just as well. Making sure that your animal is not only healthy, but happy is a priority to me! Having a routine and making sure that all needs are met is a must. I feel as though your home is also your pets home, therefore, enabling them to have their own space is important. Also, making sure your animal is fed and watered and stimulated and energized plays a large role. Playing with toys or running around in the yard are both great ways of stimulating the brain!

“I reviewed a few months ago and wanted to follow up. At this point Zach has watched all my pups and I can’t stress enough how great he is. He takes the time to build with each dog, he asks a lot of questions, and genuinely cares about making sure they feel as comfortable as possible when we are gone. He is such a good dog sitter, and a really great guy in general. The only down side is now we don’t want to share him! Haha. Honestly though, your dog would be in very capable hands. Thanks Zach!”

About: Hi! I am a first year veterinary medicine student and have experience with a variety of different animals. I have worked as a veterinary technician, so I have been trained in first aid, as well as oral and injectable medication administration. I can accommodate pets of all ages, temperaments, and health conditions. I have experience working with shelter animals, and have also worked for three years training, caring for, and socializing puppies. This has provided me with the experience and knowledge to care for a variety of animals, including pets with special needs and those with reactivity and/or anxiety. Their comfort is my biggest priority, so I’m more than happy to accommodate any special requests! I am an experienced incoming veterinary student and devote my summers to pet sitting and care, so I am very flexible in terms of scheduling and accommodating your pet! I grew up with a pup who required special attention for his anxiety, so I have endless patience and experience with dogs who need a more quiet, patient approach! I also have experience walking very large, reactive, and/or high energy type dogs through my volunteering at the humane society.

About: I’ve care for animals my whole life from fish to dogs. I have cared for numerous animals while friends and family members. I also know how to give great belly rubs! I am a per diem nurse. I have a flexible schedule and often make arrangements to my schedule to ensure my own animals are well cared for. I have a fenced in yard as well as two sweet pups that love company. I also live in a residential area that is great for walking. My personal pets are crate trained so that is available as well as the pets are allowed on furniture.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8 years old. Neighbors, family members, and friends have counted on me to take care of them such as feeding, bathing, walking, etc. I have 3 animals that I care for 24/7 and I am currently in college as a vet tech and work with exotic animals at Indianapolis Zoo so I work with animals around the clock! I give walks for about 2-3 hours and feeding time in between. I bath the dog if necessary and will do whatever it takes to make your dog or cat feel happy and comfortable. I have a lovely golden doodle named bear that is a sweetheart to all dogs and a loving family that loves and takes care of yours. If your dog needs to be crated, let me ahead of time and I will see to it that your dog is happy and safe. I have two cats as well named Satoshi and Jackie who are loving with all animals as well. All the animals are fixed so no worries there! I can also take care of exotic pets as well since I have the experience so please feel free to reach out!

About: I've been taking care of dogs almost all my life. I've had so many different breeds in my lifetime. I love all kinds of animals but definitely have to say dogs arey favorite! I work on my time. I book cleanings and caregiving help to older adults. So if I have a job for sitting lined up I just don't accept any cleaning jobs. I do sitting, walking, and boarding. I can accommodate up to two large dogs and I have a safe area for walks and playtime. I also can come to pets home if needed to do potty breaks ect.

About: I’ve grew up with dogs in my house. Since I was 12 years old I was in charge of feed, bath and walk my dog. I’m available on this hours: Monday- friday: from 5:30 pm I work from home on tuesdays. (8-5pm) Sat and Sundays: all day long and night I will respect the rules that you have in your house like where that sleep or if they are allowed to be on the furniture, etc

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life — I grew up around dogs, cats, and pretty much every pet in the neighborhood, so being around them just feels like home. I started pet sitting for family and friends when I was young, and it kind of grew from there through word of mouth, which honestly means the world to me. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means keeping up with a high-energy pup or just sitting quietly with a pet who needs some company. Every animal has their own personality, and getting to know that is honestly my favorite part of the job. My schedule is super flexible — honestly, anytime works for me. I'm self-employed, so I have the freedom to be available whenever your pet needs me, whether that's early mornings, evenings, weekends, or last-minute bookings. No 9-to-5 restrictions here! Your pet will never feel like they're being squeezed into a busy schedule — they'll always have my full attention. When I'm in your home, I treat it like my own — with respect, care, and a lot of love for your pet. I follow whatever routine your pet is used to because consistency matters, especially when you're away. I'm not just popping in to check a box — I'm fully present, keeping things comfortable and familiar so your pet barely notices you're gone. Your home and your fur baby are in good hands.

About: I am a veterinary assistant and previously worked at a doggy salon so I can assist with any necessary medication administration or grooming procedures such as nail trims and baths. I have my own personal transportation and materials. I am flexible to what the pet owner requests and am flexible on times and scheduling. Treats and rewards are provided unless requested otherwise. 4 dogs and 5 cats in my home but pets can be easily separated if requested by owner. Thank you! I work on the weekends so I am able to take care of the pets during the week. Animals are my passion and I love meeting new kiddos! I have a fenced in backyard and 4 bedrooms where I can separate the animals if requested. I also have large and medium crates for use if requested. I work full time but I work opposite shifts as my fiancé so someone will always be home to love and care for the pets! I have a fully fenced in yard and 9 animals to keep your pet comfortable. I also have 4 bedrooms so if your pet would rather be away from other animals they can decompress and relax away from everyone else.
