Dog Walking in Douglas, Chicago

“Tamara was really flexible with my last-minute request, and did a great job communicating and taking care of my elderly dog while I was out of town. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: While I do not currently share my life with a dog of my own (it's a matter of being unable to adopt every dog I lay my eyes on!), I dearly love helping pet parents keep their dogs happy and healthy and preferably in their own homes while their owners are away. I love to travel,and love to spend time with as many dogs as I can possibly fit into my day. You can often find me chatting with others about their animals, and I am always interested in hearing about every little detail. I enjoy helping people get a greater understanding regarding the welfare of their animals, and sometimes bore my friends with random and obscure dog breeds, and what I know of their temperament and behavior. I'm proud to say I try to research as many breeds as I can so that I know what to expect, and hey, it's always fun to just know why and how a breed came into existence! I happen to also be studying veterinary technology, for the knowledge of nutrition and behavior, since surgery is more information than I want. :D I am also very happy to drop by or stay with your cats, and am quite used to the varying personalities of these small creatures: the ones who like to play hide and seek, the aloof, the playful, and the grumpy. I don't mind at all, as long as the cat is comfortable, eating, and using their litter box, all is well! I can work my day around your dog or cat, as I am a dedicated sitter, and much prefer to spend my time enjoying the company of cats and dogs as much as I can. I much prefer to stay with the dog or cat in their own home, as having their familiar surroundings help them remain peaceful, happy, and comfortable.

“Malayna has been friendly, available, and reliable when I need her. My dog likes her. I can recommend her as a sitter.”

About: Hi, I'm Chayse! I worked at a doggie daycare for nearly year and know how to work with dogs of any age and size, as well as any temperament. I've been taught positive reinforcement training techniques and know we'll how to deal with unwanted behaviors. I've also lived with cats my whole life and am quite knowledgeable on working with them too! I am currently a full time college student, but have free time everyday.. My schedule is extremely flexible, so I am good for both planned services and last-minute needs. I will care for your pet with extreme gentleness and care. I believe in positive reinforcement training and will provide lots of love and comfort for them. I am currently only taking drop-in and walking jobs, as I do not have the space to host anyone's pets at the moment. When in a client's home, I make sure to not touch things without permission and leave the space as clean as I found it.

About: Hi there! I’m a young professional who’s ready to love and care for your furry friend as much as you do! I have lots of experience watching and caring for pets. I had small pets (hamsters, guinea pigs, etc.) growing up and now care for my own senior pup, Clara. In addition to my own dog, I’ve dog sat for many friends and neighbors (both in their homes and mine) while they were on vacation or out of town. I also have experience helping train/board young dogs, so I’m more than comfortable with puppies! You can ask any of my friends—my love for animals knows no bounds, so you know I’ll take great care of your pets and give them the love they need when you’re not available. I’m currently working from home, so I have a flexible schedule to care for your pets! I am available weekdays and weekends from 9am to 6pm. Having cared for a senior dog, I know all the meticulous needs that come with owning a pet. Schedule, cleanliness, and patience are key to keeping our animals safe and healthy. I work best with detailed care instructions to ensure that your pet is comfortable in your absence!

About: I've been around all kinds of dog breeds for as long as I can remember. I've cared for and owned both dogs and cats. Since moving to Chicago, I've raised two fur-babies of my own, but I'm always happy to spend time with a new furry friend. I work part-time from home, so I have plenty of time to meet the demands and needs of your fur baby. Whether it’s a quick walk to your local park, or a game of fetch, I am here to fit your schedule. Right now, I live in an apartment building with my two Pomeranian pups. They are extremely friendly with other dogs, but I have ample space to keep them separated if your fur baby is a bit timid.

“Super helpful and communicative!”

About: I have owned both dogs and cats since I was born and have been the primary caregiver to them since I was about 8. I have taken care of numerous friends and family members pets throughout the years both long and short term. I am great with pets of any size and need not worry if you’ve got a big dog I’m 6’ 7” and can make sure they get the care they deserve safely. I’m not a licensed trainer but have extensive experience doing so with my dogs so if you want help reinforcing commands during walks I can do that as well. I’ve got a pretty flexible schedule most days I have experience with plenty of pet parenting styles so I’m open to however you would like. My main objective is to make sure your pet is as happy and safe as they can be. Currently I have open availability and would love to take care of your pets, I do not mind being in the rain/snow if you want to stay warm and dry but your pup needs some exercise I vow to take care of your pets as if they were my own, every fur baby deserves the best care and best life possible. P.s. I am trans and my reviews are from pre transition if youre wondering why the names dont match🥰 This is currently one of my main income sources and therefore it plays a large role in my weekly routine. - - - - - I take safety very seriously for both myself and for your pets. I would never want anything bad to happen to an animal im taking care of.

About: I have always owned pets. I have had cats, dogs, fish, turtles, hamsters, birds, etc.I have had a Pekingese dog and a Labrador. My family has always loved pets. We have had a Persian cat and now we have a Siamese named Neo. But he does not stay with me, he stays with my family and I see him when I visit home. Family and friends have relied on me a lot to take care of their pets (cats and dogs) when they’re out of town. I have taken care of a Chowchow for a friend and two Poodles for family friends. I have also taken care of my friends cats in their home when they had to leave for a few days. I am a student and I have free time during the weekends or weekdays in the afternoons/evenings. I am able to walk, play or take care for pets. I make sure I know their schedules, their intakes as in food, water, treats, medicine or vitamins. I try to pay attention to them all the time and play with them.

About: I think animals are amazing. I've watched, walked, and cared for pets throughout my life. I'm playful with animals. I'm not opposed to getting dirty, talking like a cartoon character, and breaking a sweat to make your pet comfortable with me. Your pet will appreciate my calm and silly demeanor. I work Sunday thru Thursday 7am-3pm. So I'm available after then. Saturdays and Sundays are completely available for helping out with animals. And I live near Chinatown, which means I'm close to the loop. N/A I won't be having pets in my home. I work Sunday thru Thursday 7am-3pm. So I'm available after then.

“Fantastic communication about my puppy! He was so on top of things and even let me know when my dog’s stool looked abnormal (which it was and my puppy was sick).”

“Did amazing with my puppy and gave helpful tips based on their walk. Loved that she played games with my girl and she show cases her years of experience working with dogs! Highly recommend!”

“Judy exceeded our expectations as a dog walker. From our initial interaction on Rover, she demonstrated professionalism and a helpful attitude, which was especially reassuring for me as a first-time user. She patiently guided me through the process, made a special effort to visit our home to get acquainted with Jaxx & Quinn, and consistently updated us with pictures and details about their walks. Remarkably, despite the distance from our home being more than ideal for her, Judy recognized our urgent need and graciously agreed to help us. Her dedication and the joy she brought to our dogs are deeply appreciated.”

About: Ive had experience caring for a very timid rescue dog and know different techniques to help with scared/reactive behavior. I have a lot of patience and persistence for feeding and bathing, and will walk at the dog's pace. I've also taken up at-home grooming and can brush through fur and clean ears. I work entirely from home with a somewhat flexible schedule so I'm able to walk dogs many different times during the day for 30m-1hr at a time. I live in an apartment, but my complex has a small park and there are a handful of dog parks within walking distance. The area is newly paved with sidewalks and many green areas along the way. I have a small dog who is friendly but timid, so she will either keep to herself or show interest if your dog is also quieter. If the two dogs do well, then they can be walked together.

“Very dependable and caring with my dog”

About: I've taken care of my dog and others’ since I was 10 years old. This includes a variety of rescues, pit bulls, golden retrievers, small dogs, and larger dogs. My husky is back in Michigan, and I adore dogs and walking/spending time with them, so I would love to have an opportunity to meet/walk your kiddos(pets). I also have experience with cat sitting, and have been around many different personalities. I adore cats as well as dogs and would love to have an opportunity to meet/be with them! Kind regards:) I can fit pet care in whenever needed. I am taking classes at IIT currently, but I have availability for drop ins, walks(whenever I can during my day), and house sits on nights that I don’t have class. I know how to keep dogs safe while walking, and I can even teach them a few things about pulling and stopping before crossing the road. My love for animals is immense, and I will treat your dog with the same passion/care I have for mine.

“Annie is an absolute dream. She is friendly, courteous, and responsive. I never worried because I knew she was taking good care of them. My older dog has random health issues and Annie would always alert us to any changes and check up on him afterwards. I highly recommend Annie if you want someone who genuinely cares about your pets and who you can trust. Her photos and updates are a (hilarious) highlight of my day! She really knows how to bring out the best side of your dog. 11/10, highly recommend.”

“Danielle had been great with Okami. He's usually very reserved and defensive with new people. But he warned up to her in just two walks. Bonus is that she takes tons of photos.”
