Dog Walking in Des Plaines

“Andy was great on time and Harry Carey took to him right away and seems to have really loved his walks with him. He will be my go too from here on out.”

“Elizabeth did such a great job! She was scheduled to take care of Louie twice daily during the recent Arctic cold spell (the daily high temp was about -5°) and she did not disappoint. Thank you Elizabeth!”

“Michael was great with Rocky. My father had hip surgery two weeks ago so it's a load of stress off my mind that we found someone that can help when my brother or myself are not available. Michael was prompt and professional and sent pics while out on their walks. Rocky really likes him! Will definitely be using again! Thanks Michael!”

“Christine is fantastic. She truly loves dogs and brings both kindness and expertise to her time with them. Our dog, Buster, is thrilled to see her for their walks. She’s also a strong communicator and very reliable. I highly recommend Christine’s services!”

“Helped out with a day-before booking. Would use again!”

“I was in the need of a walker since I had an urgent business trip, Tiffany was really helpful and flexible with the schedule, she also followed my directions on how to walk my dogs! we are happy with her service :)”

“Ellie is working with our quarantine pup who’s a little shy! She’s been awesome so far, super friendly, and patient with our pup. Thanks Ellie!”

“Karen was great. She took the time to meet Sadie and understand her needs. The two walks were just enough to satisfy Sadie and give me peace of mind that she was being well cared for. Thank you Karen!”

“Leah is the best! I work a lot and she’s very flexible with her schedule, even willing to change times to avoid bad weather! Who wants a rainy walk, I know my pups don’t!! And when it can’t be avoided she’s so caring and makes sure the dogs are bundled up and gives them a good towel dry after. She’s always quick to ask if there’s anything special that’s needed to make the pups more comfortable and safe. I’ve never come home to a hungry or thirsty dog when Leah was over to see them. I’m so grateful she’s been my dogs walker and I know the pups love her too! 10/10 would recommend she takes care of your pups too!”

“Chase is the best dog walker Ive ever had! His love of animals is obvious. He’s personable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond what is expected of him. I thank my ‘lucky stars’ I found him!”

“Corinne has been coming to my apartment to feed and watch over my cat while I'm away, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their care and attention to detail. Not only did they ensure that my cat was well-fed and had everything she needed. Corinne is reliable, trustworthy, and truly loves animals, which gives me peace of mind whenever I have to leave my cat behind. I am so grateful for her help!”

“Jill is AMAZING! My RWBY is injured, and she has to remain calm. I let Jill know this, and she made sure during their walk that RWBY didn't get too excited. I use here often, and would definitely recommend you do too!”

“What a wonderful guy! He was so good with our cat and dog! Both animals were very happy/content when I got home and Michael sent great pictures of both of them! My highest recommendation to Michael! Thank you!!”

“Christina was amazing!!!! She was able to update me on every walk. Send me very cute photos and videos. I felt so safe and happy that my dog was with her. She always arrived on time and you can tell my dog loved her. She is so good with communication and asking any questions. Very easy to work with and very very friendly. I would definitely ask her again for any other services I need for my dog!!!”

“Jack took great care of our pup! He really gave her some great exercise and got her moving during our days in the office. I’d recommend Jack!”

“Mikayla is great! Communication was seamless; Mikayla kept me updated with texts and photos during walks, which gave me peace of mind while I was at work. I also appreciated their flexibility with scheduling. I highly recommend Mikayla to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Their dedication and passion for animals truly make a difference!”

“So sweet with Thor, very happy to have Danielle around!”

About: Hi there, I'm Leah! My husband and I just love animals and are doing this out of wanting to spend time and love on as many pets possible. We recently went through some losses of pets and cannot have pets at the moment so our time with these animals mean more to us than simply taking care of another's loved one. Our effort in making sure the pet is comfortable and happy for the duration of the stay, makes us happy in return. I've grown up taking care of all kinds of animals, with my husband and I's most recent pet being a German Shepard. We raised her as a few month old puppy and are very knowledgeable on not only the training process but the daily requirements of high energy breeds. Same goes for cats, which I LOVE, I've always had a cat living with me till now, which were raised as kittens, training and loving on their different personalities. I have serviced many families in caring for their pets of all ages for 16+ years now through neighborhood friendships and platforms like this one- including Wag, Sittercity, and more. Whether that's helping households retain their order and tidiness or having pets stay in our animal loving home to get 24/7 love and attention, I'd love to have the opportunity to spend time loving on your pets. In being the type of person that loves order, enjoys cleaning, and is very detailed in accomplishing tasks, I enjoy filling the shoes of set schedules and daily duties. So I encourage families to share all that needs to get done, I'm here to help you and your pets not miss a beat in your schedule. I also would want to know what your pet needs to be at optimal health. From medications, sleeping preferences, to a specific way to give a belly rub- their health is our top priority. Another aspect that is so essential is loads of play time, especially to help in the adjustment to the changes. About the environment: our apartment has no pets living with us, we're on the 2nd floor with a balcony (door and screener would stay securely shut the entire duration unless pet owner says otherwise), the complex has a large safe neighborhood for pleasant walks, a fenced in dog park yard right outside the unit, and a pet spa for bathing and grooming. Please reach out if you have any questions at all, we'd love to hear from you and get some playdates scheduled! ***Our complex has some dog breed restrictions that we unfortunately will not be able to care for at our home; Rottweilers, Pitbull's, and Dobermans (but can and would love to care for them during other services- house sitting, drop ins, and walks). I work from home on a lax schedule. Working consists of nothing I can't stop in the middle of and am off and on as I please. My husband and I do not have any pets so our home is (unfortunately) animal free. We are very aware of our surroundings so being in tune and interacting with the current state of the pets we're responsible of is our priority.

“Angel was a great dog walker! Sent pictures and easy to chat with. I’d recommend Angel to anyone who needs their dog walked.”

“Gabby has taken care of my dogs when we were away on vacation. She is very loving and caring towards animals. Gabby is reliable and responsible. I would highly recommend!”
