Dog Walking In East Garfield Park

“Gianni is the best!!! She takes such good care of my pup, and is extremely thorough with her updates at the end of the walks. Also she takes literally the best pics of my dog ever. Highly recommend Gianni!!!”

“Stavroula has been great! She communicates well and sends me several pictures of my dog Winston doing his business. I actually have two dogs. Winston was just adopted on Christmas Eve and he's a little over a year old. He isn't fully housebroken due to being found as a stray. When she gets here to let him out, he and my other dog Benson get pretty excited. She deals with their mayhem without complaint. I definitely recommend her!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’m comfortable caring for pets across the entire energy spectrum, from independent shy cats to high-energy athletic dogs. I currently have two cats of my own, so I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. One of my cats is shy and requires daily medication, so I’m experienced with administering medications and helping nervous pets feel comfortable and safe. My other cat is incredibly social, food-motivated, and always ready to remind me exactly when dinner should be served, so I’m no stranger to pets who know what they want! I also grew up with two Vizslas, which taught me just how much exercise, attention, patience, and consistency active dogs need. Whether your pet is looking for a playmate, a walking buddy, extra cuddles, or simply someone reliable to stick to their routine, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and while I absolutely adore my cats, I’m always excited for an opportunity to get my dog fix, too. I’d love to meet your pets and help make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I have a 9-5 but I can work remotely whenever I’d like and I can step away during the day to take care of your pets. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine, providing attentive care, administering medications if needed, and treating your home with the same respect and care as my own.

“Michael was great to work with. He was reliable, on time, and kind. Thanks for your help! We look forward to working together again in the future.”

“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!”

“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!”

Happy to watch pets full time for the first part of summer. I live in a doorman building with an unfenced green patch in front where all the neighborhood dogs play. I am also near a park and a neighborhood great for walking.

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!

“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.”

About: My family has always had pets, both cats and dogs. I love caring for animals, walking, playing, or just hanging out! I offered my house for a year to be a foster home for dogs waiting to find their forever home! This helped me to become comfortable with animals that I am unfamiliar with and learn how to make them feel safe. I have also worked as a caregiver for adults with developmental disabilities so I am very familiar with caring for others. I don’t have any pets currently, so I would love to spend time with animals as much as possible! I love to exercise so I am willing to walk/ run as far as your loved one will let me! If you have any questions please feel free to message me! My work schedule is not consistent day to day, but I have an hour break during work that I can use to check in. I typically work 7 hour shifts so there would not be longer than 3 hours that they would be alone. I am very adaptable and can make my routine fit into whatever you and your family are used to! Walks can be done as they normally are and I will play or cuddle as much as your pet desires!

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.
