Dog Walking Cicero

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I grew up in a home full of pets like cats, dogs, fish, and birds. I developed a deep love and understanding of animals of all kinds. I have professional experience caring for animals of all types, including care for senior and disabled pets. I’m confident, attentive, and animals are naturally drawn to the calm and positive energy I bring. What Sets Me Apart - Over a year of hands on professional experience in a high volume pet care setting - Familiarity with a wide range of breeds and temperaments - Experience with special needs and senior pets - Doggy seat belts in my car for safe and secure transportation - Strong attention to cleanliness, health, and emotional wellbeing Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I’m here to provide the same level of care and love they receive at home because they deserve nothing less. Outside of my work times, I have open availability to focus fully on your pets giving them the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s a midday walk or regular drop in's, I’m here to help make your life easier and your pets’ days brighter. While I’m unable to host pets in my home due to limited space, I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of yours. I’ll ensure your pets are well fed, have fresh water, and maintain clean litter boxes or enclosures. For dogs, I offer walks, playtime, and park visits plenty of fun and exercise! If your pup is friendly, they can even enjoy supervised play with my own dog for extra socialization. I’m also experienced with giving medications and have a strong understanding of animal body language, which allows me to recognize stress signals and respond appropriately. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I treat every home and animal with the same care and respect I give my own.

About: I have worked at veterinarians, pet stores, and animal shelters, with pets of all kinds. I love walkng, cuddling and hanging out with all dogs. I’m a stay at home mom on a farm. I love spending time with my animals and also have a Sniffspot so other dogs can enjoy our space. When your dog first gets here they can smell around all the new smells and then decide if they want to interact with the other animals or not. I supervise any interactions to keep everyone safe. All dogs are welcome to be inside or outside. We have 5 fully fenced acres.

“Ali did a great job walking and taking care of my dogs. Even my shy Aussie "Scout" warmed up to her immediately, which was surprising, but very good. She has excellent communication skills and responds quickly and positively to requests or concerns. I would definitely recommend Ali!”

About: Now Serving Washington State. I started rover 3 years ago when living in Michigan. HIGHLIGHTS: • All breeds welcome. • 24/7 companionship. Never left alone & by my side all day. • Fenced-in yard time if required per your dog. • Available 24/7 for drop off/pickup, even late night or early morning hours. For over 15 years, I have dedicated myself to the care of dogs, ranging from puppies to seniors. Throughout this time, I have not only provided care but also rescued numerous dogs and other animals. My experience has equipped me with a good deal of knowledge in animal care and health, enabling me to handle various challenges such as anxiety, behavioral/aggressive tendencies, training, and more. I understand that each dog is unique, with their own distinct personality and specific needs. However, I have honed my skills in providing specialized care and readily welcome pet parents who may be concerned about boarding their pups due to certain behaviors. Caring for dogs is not always a walk in the park, but I approach it with unwavering love, passion, and commitment. I have dedicated countless days and nights to tending to dogs with diverse challenges and rescuing surrendered/abused animals, providing round-the-clock care. Providing such dedicated care requires substantial effort, but the joy it brings me is immeasurable. I am willing to do everything necessary to ensure that your dog receives the treatment it deserves and is accustomed to me. Why choose me? I take animal care seriously and, as that is my commitment your beloved pooches deserve and will be under my full supervision while under my roof and be given the best care possible. I differentiate myself drastically from other caregivers on Rover, Number One because animal care is my life, I wouldnt want it any other way. Separating from a pet owner can be a stressful experience for pets and their owners. Your pups are warmly welcomed into my home, and I will take care of them exactly per your wishes. About me I am originally from Roanoke, Virginia. My husband Paul and I moved to South Lyon, Michigan from Charlotte, North Carolina. After settling down in Michigan, I was able to start my career in animal rescue and care. I consider myself a responsible, trustworthy, and forward-thinking individual who takes great pride in what I do, that is, taking care of animals. I am incredibly flexible with my schedule. I understand that there may be instances where you require assistance during late hours, and I am fully committed to being flexible in such situations. I am on-call for you. Ensuring home security: • I have established connections with two veterinarians in the area who are located close to my home. 1 of them offers urgent care services for pets 24/7. • My home is equipped with a surveillance system, providing security for your peace of mind. • I have 50 chickens; I understand some may be worried about their dogs’ interaction with the chickens. There will be no interaction with the chickens. My chickens stay far away and enjoy free roaming so most of the time they are out of sight on other parts of the property.

“This is the first time using Rover and Rachael was amazing, she even came out the day before for a meet and greet with my dog. She is so kind and great with dogs! Thank you Rachael!”

About: I've lived with animals all my life, and have looked after my family's pets occasionally. I am an all around animal lover, I'm professional and dependable, and I'm great at following directions. I have some trips planned for the coming future, so a few stretches of time will be unavailable. I will be very transparent and communicative with prospective clients about my schedule. Feel free to ask me for details! I will be respectful and conscientious when inside all clients' homes, and will do everything in my ability to keep your pet comfortable in their own routines and habits.

About: Hi, I'm Trisha! I have been married for a little over 5 years to my husband Shawn. I have 2 children, a 10 year old boy, named Orion, and my daughter Kaylee, who would have been 22 years old, unfortunately she passed away from a car accident in 2020. I grew up in a little country town in CA. And was raised with animals. My grandpa was a big animal lover, and we had everything from a baby bear cub to kittens. I was in FFA for 4 years and raised a pig all 4 years to sell at the fair. Shawn is from the Arlington area and was also raised with animals. He has raised everything from goats to kittens. We feel that your pets aren't just pets, but more like a child, and we know the importance of finding the right care for your Fur-Babies. A majority of the pets we have cared for have been rescue pets. The the transition for them is hard enough as it is being left at a stranger's house, and we don't want to make that transition any more difficult for them. We ask that you bring an item with them, something that they associate with you and home. Also we ask for these items as well: food, food bowl, and water bowl, bed or bedding, toys they may want to play with, treats, and of course a daily interaction log ( we want to keep them on the same routine that they are use to, or as close to it as we can) I also try and send pictures daily, but in the off chance I miss a day, I send extra shots the next day. If we sound like a good fit for you, we are always happy to set up a meet and greet at our place for introductions. (We have also taken in fur-kids without meet and greets.) Drop off and pick up are as followed: Drop Offs: before 6:30am are an additional $10.00 Pick ups: after 8pm will be an additional $1.00 per minute unless prior arrangements have been made with Shawn or myself. Also we have a $20.00 off your first booking with us, for you! (Can only be used for our services) please ask for coupon code! Have a great day. And we look forward to caring for your Fur-Babies🐱🐕🐶🐩🐺🐈 I currently work 7am to 3pm Monday through Friday. And Shawn works from home as an independent contractor, so your Fur-baby would always have someone with them. We live in quiet housing complex right off of Smokey Point Blvd. that gives you quick and easy access to I5. We have a 6'' fenced back yard, live at the end of a dead end street, very little traffic.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that caring for animals has always been a normal part of my life. I grew up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of many ages and personalities, including energetic puppies and older dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I'm comfortable with the routines that come with good pet care: consistent feeding schedules, exercise, basic training reinforcement, and paying attention to changes in behavior that might mean a dog needs something. I have experience helping with puppy training basics life patience during walks, reinforcing commands, and keeping them mentally stimulated. I also understand that senior dogs sometimes need gentler exercise, more frequent bathroom breaks, and extra patience. In addition to dogs, I have experience working with animals in a farm environment, which taught me responsibility, consistency, and how important it is to pay attention to an animal's needs and body language. Because of that background, I'm calm, reliable, and comfortable around animals with different temperaments. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they're my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your animal with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. I grew up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I enjoy spending time outdoors walking dogs, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. As a college student, I plan my schedule carefully, which allows me to stay organized and consistent with feeding times, walks, and check-ins. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, and spending time with them is something I look forward to throughout the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a calm environment where they feel secure. In a client's home, I carefully follow the pet's normal routine for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime so they experience as little disruption as possible. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure pets are feeling safe and happy. I respect my clients' homes and keep spaces clean, secure doors and gates, and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.

“I want to thank Jordan for looking after my two dogs. She was so sweet and helpful. I loved that she was constantly updating about the dogs, and sending pictures and she took the time to play with them, fed them and took them for a walk. She was very patient with the dogs. Sanji and Robin are very playful since they’re about a year old. Honestly, after an unexpected long day at work it was great to know my dogs were im good hands. Thank you for asking about taking your shoes off inside the apartment it was very thoughtful and thank you for following all the instructions for the dogs”

About: I am an experienced obedience dog trainer who wishes for a work-life balance helping animals!! Animals have been my passion throughout my life, ranging from reptiles, rodents, to dogs. My goal is to further expand my knowledge in dog training and to learn everything there is to help guide me into more opportunities working with furballs! Having animals of my own, as well as having many in the family, has given me experience with handling. This is where I have learned and practiced skills such as dog training, intervening with disputes, administering medicine, and much more. I also love the outdoors, so hiking is something I love to do with my dogs to burn out their energy. During my experience at ABC (Animal Behavior College), I worked with trainers where I learned techniques for impulse control, reactivity, puppies, and even some service dog training. I also worked with the behavioral specialist at the Everett Animal Shelter where I am provided a list of dogs to work with and make them more adoptable :) I am flexible most days!! I work a full-time job at the moment but have a mixed schedule between days and nights. This makes it easier to do drop-ins/walks during the weekend and then sitting at night during the week! I currently live in a camper with not a lot of room to host doggies here. However, I will be moving to Burlington area soon and will have a much bigger area to hopefully board overnight!!

About: I've been taking care of our own three dog rescues for the past three years. If you know rescues, you know how difficult it could be. I have been around dogs my whole life and would like to turn one of my favorite pastimes into a I am currently seeking full time, but in the mean time I have to care for my three dogs morning and night where we feed them kibble in the morning and raw dog food at night. They all get walked at least daily two-three miles. I always ensure proper visual possession of your dog and make sure the leash is secure before leaving property. I do calming circles for about 15-20 minutes before we get started on any walks. I always make sure to have an extra leash on hand while out with your pet in case we run into a stray.
