Dog Walking in DeKalb

“My dog really seems to like Cora. She's great about limiting his walks to a shorter distance (medical condition) but spending some time playing with toys, too.”

“Bryce has been around animals his whole life and it shows. His warm heart and loving demeanor attracts them. He is very patient, responsible and just happy to the core! He has helped take care of our dog for many years.”

“Bailey is great with dogs. Every time she sees a dog, she asks to pet it and greets it so politely but excitedly. She is wonderful with my dog and takes him for walks all the time, making sure he walks nice but gets energy out. I trust her to watch him every time we hang out.”

About: I fell in love with and have cared for cats and dogs since I was young. I now also have a bearded dragon to add to the mix! I have worked with a Search and Rescue trainer on basic obedience skills as well. I am currently pet sitting full time so I have a flexible schedule to meet your needs and can book on short notice in the case of emergencies. I respect and adhere to every owners desires in the care of their fur family to ensure their safety and happiness during my time with them.

“Karli is AMAZING with pet care and I would put my total trust in my cat's safety with her. It's funny - I think sometimes my cat likes her more than me...she's always so happy when Karli hangs out with her. She's a lover of all animals, and has experience with cats and dogs, but also farm animals (goats, horses, peacocks, llamas, chickens) due to her previous work experience working at a children's petting farm. That girl would put herself through anything to care for the animals around here. You're doing yourself a favor booking with her.”

“Rachel is a very loving pet owner. She is a responsible and reliable person. She grew up around animals and has one of her own now! I would allow her to care for my animals any day!”

“Great communication and flexibility”

About: I have experience with a variety of animals! I currently have a miniature schnauzer and a cockapoo who I love dearly! I grew up with miniature schnauzers and have had neighbors, family members, and friends with other breeds (e.g., husky, lab) and animals (e.g., cats). I had two guinea pigs that are now in the care of my cousins as I am in graduate school! I am excited to help out you, as animal owners, with your busy and adventurous lives! I am currently in graduate school and have a varying scheduled everyday! I am very flexible and am available everyday for at least a couple of hours! I believe that our pets are our babies and should be treated as such no matter the age! I love to take my dogs on walks and give them enriching toys to play with! I love to play with all dogs and try to match their energy! I am aware of the importance of safety for your animals while in my care (: Let me know how I can best support you and your fur babies!

“Emily has been awesome with my dog Millie over the last year and a half. She is a family friend who offered to let out and watch Millie while I’m at work. Millie always gets so excited to see her and Emily always sends picture updates from my house when she’s there! So glad to have someone I can trust let her out and spend time with her when I’m not able to.”

“Jen was so good with all my cats and my dog. I was honestly concerned that my pet care needs were asking too much but Jen was amazing and completed everything I asked! My baby girl was very comfortable with her and knew she was safe. I would refer her to anyone looking for a caring pet caregiver who will ensure your pets safety and happiness. She has definitely earned a repeat client with me and will most likely be main/only dog walker unless she’s unavailable haha. Anyways, book her if you can!”

I am available Monday through Friday early mornings, late evenings and including weekends all day. Please reach out if you have any questions! Looking forward to talking to you and helping take care of your family pet! ☀️ I will treat your dog with love and care. We will walk near your home or wherever your dog’s favorite walking path is! Upon returning from our walk, I would clean their feet if the weather calls for it, take off leashes and would love to give a treat and give a few more loving pets before I go.

“Would recommend”

About: I have worked in two animal care environments, one being a pet sitting/dog walking company, the other being a dog day care facility. I have supervised and cared for groups of dogs, as well as provided walks, play time, or fresh food/water. I also frequently used to watch my neighbors pups and home when they went out of town on vacations. I grew up with and helped take care of 2 cats and 2 dogs (a golden retriever mix and a german shepherd), as well as a few other critters like hamsters and hermit crabs, and I have currently have a cat of my own! *PLEASE READ before requesting booking!!!* I am in between jobs at the moment while using this app to help bring in some money in the mean time! I will update this as soon as I’m aware of my new schedule, so I am free for the time being, until further notice :) I definitely have a lot of experience going to different client homes and working with a variety of situations and breeds. I love to give everyone's fur babies some love and care, like giving them some head or belly scratches, some play time, time to run around outside if need be, or providing some fresh water and a friendly person for them to hang out with.

“Kayla does amazing with my pups. They absolutely love her and my rescue who can be a bit selective of who she likes loved Kayla as wells. Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I have been doing drop-ins for friends and family for years. I have also spent a lot of time at my local shelter as I enjoy the company of animals. I have a senior dog at home so i’ve learned how to administer medications the best of my ability. I am very responsible and timely! I am currently a full time honors student at NIU. I have class a few days a week, but besides that i’m very open. My upcoming semester i’m only busy mondays and wednesdays in the early afternoon. I care for others’ pets in their home as if they are my own. I am very loving as all pets and appreciate them for the love they provide. Animals are extremely important to me, and my work will reflect that. If I were able I would have dozens of furry friends.

“Laura really enjoys caring for and walking my dog. He always gets a lot of play time out of his walk time with her as well. He is tired and happy when I return home!”

“Renee is a hard worker and knows how to respond in crisis situations, she is an animal lover and an excellent veterinarian. a completely trustworthy person.”

“Thank you so much Kayra for walking Mabel! She's always so happy when she comes home :)”
