Dog Walking In Clarendon Hills

About: I’m all of my friends and families first choice to watch their pets when they are out of town. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds of dogs and many cats as well. I’ve always had dogs in my life growing up so I’m very familiar with reading their body language and knowing how to care for them. I work full time but have a lot of flexibility to check on your pet throughout the day and have the opportunity to work remote as well I’ve never a met a pet that didn’t like me. I’m very good at reading dogs body langue and knowing what they need. Cats also like me and I’m good at reading their body language as well

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals. Spending time with pets is truly one of my favorite things, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality, whether that means playing with an energetic dog, giving extra attention to a cuddly cat, or providing gentle companionship to a senior pet. I believe pets thrive when they feel loved, comfortable, and understood, so I focus on building trust and creating a positive experience for them while you're away. Being around animals brings me so much joy, and I take pride in making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. You can count on me to provide plenty of affection, attention, and personalized care, along with regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands. I am currently a nursing student at UW Madison and have time throughout both the week and weekend to spend time with your pet! Typically earlier or later in the day is best for me but I am able to be flexible. I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and at ease — feeding them on schedule, going on walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from their owner. I spend a lot of time giving attention and affection, whether that’s active play for energetic pets or calm companionship for seniors or more relaxed animals. I always try to make them feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I also send updates so you know how they’re doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: I've always had pet dogs and cats since childhood. At this time my husband and I are unable to have a pet of our own, but I frequently house sit and watch pets for friends and family. I work as a school counselor, so I have plenty of availability during the summer to care for your fur-buddies! I am energetic and enjoy playing with excited animal friends, and I also hold firm boundaries and can support your training. I work at a school, so I have plenty of time over the summer to love and care for your pets! I teach summer school from eight to noon a few weeks over the summer, and I also teach occasional yoga classes, but besides those commitments, my time belongs to the fur-babies! I am very energetic and happy to go for long walks or play with dogs to tire them out! I am also clean and detail-oriented so I will take good care of your home if you are away. During the school year I work as a school counselor so I value service to others, honesty, integrity, and sharing joy and kindness.

“Baylee was awesome with my puppy dog, and my dog adored her. Very reliable, great communication, and she really did have my dog’s safety in mind while providing a fun and energetic walk. Highly recommended — will hire her again!”

About: Hi! I’m Ayomi, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. I’ve had the joy of working with dogs of all ages and personalities from energetic puppies still learning the world to older dogs who move a little slower and need some extra love. I approach pet care the same way I would care for my own patient, present, and with a whole lot of heart. I take the time to learn each dog’s unique needs and routines because I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their people are away. Whether your dog needs long walks, gentle play, quiet companionship, or help with medication or anxiety, I’m here to meet them where they are and give them the attention they deserve. I truly love building trust with both pets and their humans. You can expect regular updates, happy photos, and the reassurance that your pup is in loving, capable hands. Every visit is a chance to create a little joy and comfort for your furry friendcand that’s a responsibility I take seriously and gratefully. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I often work from home in my downtown Madison apartment. I love taking long walks around town or heading to Picnic Point for a quiet hike, so having a pup along for the journey just makes it that much better. I usually walk about a mile or two a day, but I’m happy to adjust based on your furry friend’s energy level and needs. My schedule is flexible, and with at least a week's notice, I can make sure I’m fully available to give your dog the time and attention they deserve. I’ve always loved traveling, so pet sitting is a fun and fulfilling way for me to enjoy the company of dogs while I’m still settling down. Whether it’s a weekend stay or daily walks, I’m excited to share my time! Creating a safe and comforting environment is my top priority, whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours. I treat every dog like family—with patience, attentiveness, and a whole lot of love. In my downtown apartment, pets are kept in a clean, calm space free of hazards, with plenty of room to stretch, nap, or play. I don’t have any other pets, so your dog will get my full attention and care without distractions. When I’m in your home, I’m always respectful of your space and routines, making sure your dog stays comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I follow all care instructions closely and provide regular updates so you know exactly how your pup is doing. I believe trust is built through consistency, communication, and genuine care and that’s what I bring to every visit. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just keeping your pup company, I’m committed to making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and right at home.

“Alexandria has been walking my dog, Louie, for several weeks now since I’ve been recovering from knee surgery. She’s reliable, communicative, and has been great with his occasional leash reactivity. I’m happy to have Alexandria walking my dog while I can’t!”

About: Hi, I’m Ruby! I'm a Humane Society volunteer and I’ve been house sitting and taking care of animals for about six years. I’m a college student planning to study animal behavior and marine biology, and I’m using this opportunity to get more hands on experience with animals while saving up for school. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, chickens, goats, horses, birds, fish, and more, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals and care needs. I take pet care seriously and always do my best to follow routines and make animals feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. If you’re looking for someone responsible, experienced, and passionate about animals, I’d be happy to help! I’m currently a college student and in the fall and spring have classes 4 days a week (Mon-Thurs) in the mornings and in the afternoons. I am very flexible other than that! I am here to assist following the usual routines of the animals in my care and to ensure that they are safe, healthy, and happy.

“Keezieng has been a fantastic dog walker this past week! Very flexible and always on time, he made sure that Stella always had a nice mid-day walk.”

About: I am a huge dog lover. I love all kinds of dogs and have grown up with all different kinds of dogs of varying size and temperment. My family has had 2 havanese dogs and 2 newfoundlands so I have experience with a variety of sizes. Recently, I lost my soul dog, Max. Max was a shepherd mix and was my whole world. My husband and I had Max since he was a puppy and are looking to get our dog fix by helping out others. We understand the stress finding care for your dog can create, and we would love to help provide a safe and fun environment for your dog when you need it. We have a large yard (unfenced) and safe neighborhood for walks. We also have 2 children, aged 5 and 3. I am a stay at home mom, so I am available most of the time from home any given week. I have 2 children, aged 5 and 3, and they would love to help care for and love on a doggy. I have a large, unfenced yard in a quiet, safe, and dog friendly neighborhood. Our dog Max was always free to run around the yard without any issues. Dogs are allowed inside, on our furniture and I still have Max’s dog bed for use as well. I am also happy to pop in by your house to walk your dog if that’s needed.

“Oliver was great with our three dogs, and they warmed up to him right away! Thanks so much for the walks, Oliver :) We'd absolutely recommend Oliver and will reach out to him for any future pet care.”

About: I have done petsitting (cats and dogs) for over 15 years. Usually for animals where I personally know the owners and have spent time with the animal to create a bond/relationship. I want to full disclose with new perspective pets parents: I have a full time, in-office job with the standard business hours, Monday through Friday. If that's not what you are looking for in a house sitter, I understand. If I had a pet of my own, I would ensure all their needs are met. As a petsitter, I would to ensure their animal's life doesn't change or I could make it better in some small way especially since their parent(s) is gone I stay at the animal's home to care for them so their life isn't different than what it usually is for them. Changing their environment can be quite shocking and stressful to them. I try not change their lifestyle too much while the parent is gone

About: I've helped out at a shelter for a large chunk of my life before I moved for college, taking care of dogs and cats. I have some experience with basic training as well. I'm currently in college so my schedule changes with my classes, and outside of school i'm usually hanging out with my cats but I'd be happy to share that love with your pets as well. I try and keep any pet in my care safe, even if I'm only giving them a walk or checking in on them. I care for any pets just like they are my own.
