Dog Walking Douglas

“Mariam has been a great dog walker for our senior dog Hannah- she is attentive, observant, caring and a great communicator. She goes above and beyond by giving our cats some attention as well and picks up on small details with our dog who is on medication which brings us such peace of mind.”

“Tamara has been walking my dog Blowe daily since this summer, and I honestly couldn’t ask for better care. Blowe genuinely looks forward to his morning walks with her and always comes back happy and relaxed. Having someone I trust with him every day gives me real peace of mind.”

About: I am a CPR certified pet sitter who loves animals and loves to care for things. I have no pets of my own because I travel often for my full-time job . However. , I look forward to building a trust worthy, healthy relationship with you and your animal family. I currently work from home full-time so I have flexible hours. I do travel often for work so the further out I know for overnight days is the better. I also am available to walk dogs daily. I live alone and a very nice neighborhood full of lots of trees and families. I keep a very neat and nice home free of anything that could harm animals.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages, including administering medication for special needs doggies. I’ve had dogs all my life and absolutely love them! I just moved to Chicago and I’m only working part-time so I have plenty of time and a flexible schedule to take care of your pups. I am happy to continue any practices you take with your dog to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also like setting up an introductory meeting with the owner so the dog can familiarize themselves with me while in the presence of someone they trust.

“Kaia had a great time with Annie today; brief walk and some cuddle time. She also sent great photos and even brought in our package from the lobby. Thank you! Looking forward to using her services.”

About: I have raised and trained my dogs. I had Rottweiler, and Labrador retrievers. I have also raised cats before. Can read and understand their behaviors. Count me to be dependable, fun, and friendly! I love all animals - come from a family of animal lovers! I am a UChicago grad student and my schedule is very free as school hasn’t started. I can do weekdays or weekends, highly flexible if you need me in different times! I make sure food is given on a timely schedule assigned by owner, water bowl is cleaned and filled constantly, and regular walks or play time is allocated. I value trust and safe space so I will make sure the animal is comfortable and has all what it needs. I like to pet and cuddle with them if they are open to it. I understand space boundaries and will keep the environment clean and respectful.

“Chelsea is super patient and collaborative! She is dedicated to gaining my dog's trust as my dog's new and first ever walker.”

About: I have experience caring for pets and understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and a safe environment. My responsibilities have included feeding pets according to their schedules, providing fresh water, taking dogs for walks, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of exercise and companionship. I am comfortable following specific care instructions and paying close attention to each pet’s individual needs and behavior. I am dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. After spending 33 years working in corporate America, I am excited to begin a new chapter in life—one centered around spending more time with animals and providing them with loving, dependable care. I developed a strong sense of responsibility, reliability, patience, and attention to detail. He understands the importance of being trustworthy and following through on commitments, qualities that are just as important when caring for someone’s beloved pets. Now retired, I have the time and flexibility to give pets the attention, companionship, exercise, and care they deserve. I enjoys getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating a safe, comfortable environment where they can feel happy and relaxed. For me, pet care is more than simply a responsibility—it’s an opportunity to enjoy the companionship of animals while giving their owners peace of mind that their pets are in caring and capable hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My loft provides a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at home. When your pet stays with me, you can feel confident knowing they’re receiving attentive, loving care in a safe home away from home. My goal is simple: for you to have peace of mind and for your pet to feel loved, secure, and comfortable.
