Dog Walking East Garfield Park

“Leila is fabulous! We need a last second walk for our pups. She came to our house to get the pups. Our friend that was there earlier in the day left the leashes in the wrong place and Leila was patient enough to search for them. It delayed her walk quite a bit but she didn’t shorten their walk. She took great care of our pups and gave them treats. Her report was thorough and detailed, which helped alleviate any worry I had for our pups. Thanks Leila!”

About: Originally from a small town in Texas I was raised on ranch surrounded by animals and I’ve loved every minute of it. Once I moved away I still wanted to keep animals in my life. I have experience fostering animals and caring for senior pets. I have open availability, so whatever time you need works for me. Whether you need someone to walk your dog while you are at work or someone to watch them overnight, I can help. I have grown up around dogs and spending time with them is one of the most enjoyable things I think a person can do. I am experienced with crate training, training basic commands, and teaching your dog to walk on a leash. If your dog doesn’t need any of that, that is fine too. Whether you just need a quick walk or want me to spend a couple hours with your dog, I will make sure it is the best part of their day!

About: Hello! I'm Kaleigh, a passionate animal lover with 6 years of experience caring for pets. I understand that your furry family members are important, and I'm committed to providing them with the same love and attention they receive at home. I'm reliable, responsible, and dedicated to ensuring your pet's safety and happiness. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and any other specific care your pet may need. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I've structured my days to prioritize pet care. I believe in consistent routines for animals, so I create a schedule that includes regular feeding times, exercise, and playtime. I'm also very adaptable and can easily adjust my routine to meet the specific needs of each pet. Whether it's administering medication or providing extra cuddles, I'm committed to providing attentive and reliable care. During drop-in visits, I focus on providing essential care, including feeding, watering, and bathroom breaks. I also dedicate time to playtime and interaction to ensure the pet's comfort and happiness. I meticulously follow any medication schedules and provide detailed updates to the owner.

About: My name is Brenna! I am an overall animal lover; my mom is a veterinarian so I grew up with cats, dogs, turtles, and other types of animals! I really enjoy going for walks with dogs or being able to throw around a toy for a bit to ensure they are having a great time. My pet care experience includes watching neighborhood dogs overnight and during the day, as well as taking the dogs for nice long walks, feeding, and play time! I have also taken care of cats at the same time and have ensured feeding times are at a similar time each day so pets are comfortable with me coming around. I have also been a volunteer at Lollypop farm for the past 2 years, specifically dealing with cats. I work as a server / bartender while prepping for my GRE! I would love to be around cats and dogs even more than I already am (I have a cat myself and I volunteer at PAWS!). My cat Chloe is active but also wants to lounge and enjoy the sun beams while she can, and so I’m able to accommodate that with other cats! Whether you want your cat to have extra play time or you are OK with my staying a while and just being there to hang with your babies, I can do either!

About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by focusing on each pet’s individual needs and personality. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats—from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a gentler, more attentive approach. I’m comfortable with routines like medication administration, crate training, litter box maintenance, and reinforcing basic commands or good habits. What sets me apart is my attention to detail—I make sure pets feel safe, stimulated, and loved, while also keeping owners updated with regular photos and check-ins. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around it. I’m consistent with visits and make sure pets are cared for on time, whether that’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I check in throughout the day and keep communication open, so you’ll always know how your cat is doing. I enjoy making pet care part of my routine—it never feels like a chore, just something I genuinely love doing. Your cat’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. In your home, I stick closely to your cat’s usual routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I make sure doors, windows, and anything potentially unsafe are handled carefully, and I keep their space clean, calm, and comfortable. I’m very respectful of your home and follow all instructions closely—from feeding and litter care to playtime and any special needs. I also keep a close eye on behavior and health, so I can quickly spot if anything seems off. You can trust that your cat (and your home) will be in safe, responsible, and caring hands.

“I feel so trusting and comfortable with Fatimah walking my Millie! She is so easy to talk too and updates your frequently. Grateful to have her as a dog Walker!”

“Christopher has been great with our dog so far! He leaves thorough reviews and always makes sure he has enough water, which is very important given how hot Chicago gets in the summer. You can tell he loves dogs from the way he cares for them. He was also willing to come to meet our pup for a meet and greet prior to the walks which we very much appreciated. Looking forward to keeping Christopher on board as a stellar dog walker.”

“Michele is such a kind and caring walker. She goes above and beyond asking questions to give love specific to him. She also responds very quickly and has helped me on a few last minute occasions!”

About: I’ve raised my mini-golden doodle of 8 years from when he was 2 months old. I’ve trained him to potty outside & all the main tricks. He’s well behaved & gentle. That’s why many of my friends have trusted me with caring for their pets. Whether that be checking in to feed them, walk them, play with them, or even lightly train them. My friends think I’m a dog whisperer. I’m currently doing a career change & study for my Illinois real estate license. My availability is completely open and flexible at this time. Let me know what your needs are! I care for dogs in a way that respects their routine, their boundaries, and keep things clean and in order. Whether it be from dog sitting overnight, I have a keen ear to puppies and when they’re up to something or know when they need to go out to potty in the middle of the night. Any other type of care will be simply respecting your home rules & how you like your pet to be handled or trained along the way.

“Jacob was my first dog walker for Bear. He arrived later than booked but communicated his arrival. Jacob was able to answer my questions and we spoke about Bear and his behavior. Jacob returned with a happy pup after an hour. I like the report card that shows the walk they went on. I would recommend.”

About: 3 dog owner here, including a tripod. Two boys and a girl all came to us from people who could no longer care for them. Two were from former students and one from the husband of a colleague. I'm a full-time teacher and I also want to play with your dogs. My school hours are 7:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. I am happy to work out drop off, pick up, hang out time and potty breaks. My dogs have front and back fenced-in yards to hang out and run around. They are able to roam the house all day. They go on walks twice a day and we have recently incorporated logic toys to keep them sharp.

“Meg was great with our deaf Dalmatian, Delta. Very understanding of our dogs special needs and didn't hesitate to push through his initial hesitation of being walked by someone new. Will definitely book again!”

About: I currently have open availability and would be happy to spend some time with your furry friend! I am near a park so there is an option to sniff around and say hello to other dogs. If your pet requires a bit less stimulation on walks, we can stick to quiet residential streets. I love all dogs and am willing to walk a dog for as long necessary to get the exercise and play time that they need. I can do drop by visits or walks to check in on your furry friend while you are at work or otherwise engaged. If you prefer your dog to have company for the day, they are also welcome to spend it at the apartment with me. I believe all pets deserve love and attention and will be happy to take care of your dog when you are busy! I'm currently working part time have open availability to care for your pet! I find spending time with animals fun and rewarding and I'm excited to meet your furry friend! I have a shared back porch with a baby gate around my area and live right next to a dog park! I allow pets on the couch unless you request otherwise.

“Michael is our go to dog walker! He is very responsive and respectful and always is willing to help with last minute requests! Thank you!”

About: As a cat owner of 4, I offer expert, personalized care. My experience includes senior cat and dog care, sick cat care, and providing loving, attentive service to ensure your pets feel safe and happy. I can petsit for you basically any time because I work remotely. I can take the bus just about anywhere in the city on days I don't have the car. While my cats are often very chill, they are young and can get frisky. They also don't care for strange animals. So, in everyone's best interest, I would strongly prefer to petsit at my clients' home.

About: I have three cats and a dog and know how deeply important they are and how carefully I want them to be taken care of & that translates directly to my care for other pets. My dog is not a walker (tiny legs) but I regularly go on long walks and would love your dog to be my walking companion! I’m saving up for my wedding and very eager to work with you and your pet :) Since I’m just starting out on this app my rates are extremely competitive to get my foot in the door! I work from home with a very flexible schedule so I am usually able to drop in or take your pet for a walk at any time in the day! I care deeply for my own pets and know how important they are to people. I will treat your pets with the utmost care and concern and update you regularly

“Anthony was a fantastic walker for my dog! He did a great job of being adaptable based on multiple factors, including her needs and the weather. I would absolutely trust him to work with her again(:”

“Arina was very communicative and so patient with multiple issues that popped up on her visit (absolutely no fault of hers!). She stayed extra with my dogs without being asked and provided plenty of videos and pictures.”

About: I have hands-on experience raising two Doberman Pinschers back home in Nigeria, and I also spend time with my best friend’s Golden Doodle here in the U.S. Through these experiences, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, and attentiveness when it comes to caring for dogs. Even though I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I treat every pet as if they were mine—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also mindful of following routines, giving plenty of exercise, and paying attention to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’d be honored to help care for your furry family member, and I look forward to building trust with both you and your pet. I work full time, but I’m available for pet care on my WFH days, evenings, and weekends. I make sure every visit includes attention, exercise, and lots of love, keeping pets happy and cared for while their owners are away. Pets in my home enjoy a safe, comfortable space with supervised play in my fenced yard and crate time when needed. On client visits, I follow routines closely—feeding, walks, and play—so every pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for.

About: I have been a dog and cat owner my entire life. I have years of experience with dog sitting and walking, and I have extra experience with senior animals. I own my own company and have a very flexible schedule. I work solely from home and have tons of time to spend with your fur babies. I have a fenced-in yard and am close to parks. I have a senior terrier that loves to search for the best sun spots and charge her batteries in the yard. I am used to dog/ cats that also need medications and any special care.
