“Pam has been so wonderful to work with! Going back to office is so much easier with Pam walking our dog. She’s friendly, responsive, and we 100% trust in her to keep our dog safe and cared for based on her needs. Selfishly I’d love to keep Pam to myself, but if you need a dog walker, she’s your girl!”

About: I’ve been blessed to work with a wide variety of animals, with years of experience caring for dogs to guinea pigs, of all ages and temperaments, and with varying health conditions. Pets of all kinds are my passion, and putting pet parents at ease while away from their babies, and pets at ease while away from their loved ones is my focus. I myself have cared for my own pets growing up and currently have 2 fur babies which have all taught me how important knowing they’re as happy as can be is, as well as how scary it can be putting their care in the hands of someone else, which is why creating an experience that duplicates your pets everyday and feels familiar is my main priority. Ensuring they get more than enough walks, play and snuggles so before they realize they’re already back with you. You can feel confident that with me, your pet not only will be protected but will also receive top quality care! Pet care is my full-time job. I’m available for all your pet care needs 24/7, weekdays and/or weekends. Your pets schedule is my first priority! I can easily crate any pet that needs it. Crating is not the typical practice. I have my own front and backyard for fun monitored time in the grass and sun. As well as a dog agility court and playground nearby.

You will never have to worry about your fur babies when I'm around. I'm a very good communicator and will call/text if there is a concern that I have 🐾❤️

“Valerie is Awesome! Professional, Friendly, and kept communicating with me every step of the way. She would notify me when she was on the way to my house and took a picture when she dropped my dog off. I work from home on occasion. I had to work from home one week and I was unable to get my dog to doggie daycare. She came every day and picked up my dog and dropped her off at doggie day care near Walmart in Cicero. The staff at doggie daycare said she was friendly and professional.”

About: I've dog sat for a variety of breeds, from Chihuahuas and Boston Terriers to Pitbulls and German Shepherds. I love them all! I have experience giving medication on a regular schedule, and love taking my own dog on a walk. I have also cat sat and have had cats throughout my whole life! I am currently a substitute teacher looking for my own teaching position, so I have a lot of free time! I am able to provide overnight pet sitting for weekends only during the school year. Otherwise, I can be flexible with drop-in’s and walks! I love all pets like they are my own. I try to make the experience as fun as possible for the pets because I understand the separation anxiety some pets feel in the absence of their owner. I stick to routine for pets to ensure comfortability. With my own dog Garcia, I love to take him to the park, play fetch, go on walks, and work on training. Still working on roll over, he is a little stubborn with that one! I provide consistent communication with all pet owners that I pet sit for, and love sending cute pics to give updates.

“Hannah helped me out at the last minute. I have been under the weather and unable to walk my dog. She stepped up and was here within an hour or so. My pup went very happily with her. Great job. Thanks hannah”

About: My name is Sam and I am an avid dog lover! I have grown up and lived with dogs my entire life so I truly understand how important dogs are to you and your family. I have had experience with both large dogs and small ones (at the same time). I currently have a small chihuahua cocker spaniel mix (11), a Newfoundland (4), and most recently a Great Dane who is 4 months old and a rescue. As a dog owner I also understand that everyone has their own way that they like “parent” their dog so I am here to listen to and respect whatever training rules or routines that you have set for your dog especially regarding your house. As far as walking goes I am not opposed to getting some real exercise. I can definitely do running for dogs that need a little more exercise or just walking if the goal is to keep it light. All dogs are welcome and I can't wait to meet you and your furbabies! I am currently working from home which my own pets love. I do have to do home visits for my clients but I am in control of my own schedule and do my best to make it work. In my own home my dogs have a fenced in yard and we go on frequent walks. While my dogs are comfortable with other animals, I would prefer to come to you.

About: I’ve always had a dog in my life. Friends and family have relied on me countless times to walk and feed their pets. Right now having three dogs of different breeds; Golden Retriever, Standard Poodle, and Black Lab. I’m currently about to be starting college in the fall. Once college starts my schedule will be more limited, but will keep updating this when there are changes. I have shadowed at multiple vet clinics, knowing behaviors and signs your fur baby is showing. Also knowing how to distract and distance space when needed, may it be an other dog or even if your dog needs some space.

About: I am a work from home dog/human mom who has spare time to give your pup snuggles while your away or help release energy outside with a game of fetch or inside with tug of war. We have a 4.5 year old lab/retriever mix who enjoys play dates & snuggles with other doggies. We have a one year old daughter who loves playing with her fur sister & fur cousins. Taking care of our dog is a natural part of our routine. Happy to take your dog for walks while you’re at work during the day or available to board while you’re away for work or play. We have a fenced in yard that allows our dog to relax outside during the day chewing on their favorite toy or expend energy with a game of fetch. Dogs are welcome inside & on the furniture. We’ll treat your babe like our own. Perfect place to leave your dog with peace of mind that they will be well taken care of.

About: What sets me apart is my experience working with dogs of all personalities and needs, especially reactive dogs and strong pullers. I have completed training with my own reactive chocolate lab through Justin’s Canine Campus, along with continuing training work at home, which has taught me patience, consistency, and how to read dog behavior closely. As a teacher, I’m dependable, calm, and attentive, and I naturally bring those qualities into caring for pets. I’ve loved animals since I was young and also continue to volunteer at animal shelters (Helping Hounds & HumaneCNY) giving me experience with dogs who may need extra patience, structure, or reassurance. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As a teacher, I have summers off and will soon be working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, and quality attention. During the school year, I’m also an early bird and start my mornings with an average 2-mile walk with my own dog, so staying active and keeping pets on a routine is something I truly enjoy. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I try to keep pets on their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure their space stays clean and that they feel calm while their owners are away.

“Patrick is a very reliable dog walker. He took great care of Ranger and I would highly recommend him.”
