Dog Walking Edgewater

“It was wonderful to meet Ashley. My dog was delighted to play with her and to show off his toys and treats. She was very sweet and loving towards him.”

“Jena is great. She handled our dog Darby in such an expert and gentle way. Darby clearly felt comfortable with her. She inspired confidence and communicated well. We will definitely wish to have her walk Darby again.”

“Seriously, I can't say enough positive things about Tony. As a first time Rover user, I was initially reluctant about finding someone off the internet to stay in my house, with my two German Shepherds after our regular dogwalker/sitter was unavailable. After a couple of friends suggested Rover, I looked into and poured over reviews hoping to find someone experienced with big dogs. Tony's reviews are fabulous -- and for good reason. He took the time to come over and meet with my dogs, spending time with both them and us. My boy is big and a bit skittish but he and Tony were fast friends. The updates and photos of my pups made me feel so much more ease while we were away. I'd give him 6 stars if the option was available.”

“Michelle was the absolute best with my girl Lou. She was communicative, timely, and sent lots of photos. She also was accompanying if I had sudden schedule changes. I could tell she took the time to earn my dog’s trust, and she was so excited to see Michelle each time. Would highly recommendb”

About: I’m an extremely mobile pet sitter: I have a car - let me visit your home or take your pet to their desired destination! I work remotely full-time - I can provide more indoor attention if needed! I live a very active life style - I can run, play fetch, and/or wiggle a string all day long! Since I work remotely full-time, I can relocate myself to the pet’s house easily and bring my work, or host pets at my place. Either way, I can provide extra attention to animals in need. I believe in respecting the pet and matching their energy - if they are friendly and seeking attention, I’ll provide it; if they need time to warm up, I’ll give them space. I also want to respect the wishes of the owners - any instructions owners want applied to their pets in their presence, I will honor in their absence.

“Shira did an amazing job taking care of my dogs! Enjoyed seeing the updates and photos of them from her! Since it is winter, she made sure my golden retriever booties were on which does take time getting them on. I’m very thankful for Shira taking such good care of my Dogs!”

“Kristine was awesome. She walked Jax over lunch for me and was patient when we were having key issues. She was very understanding and was determined to get Jax his walk despite key difficulties.”

About: Dogs with extra needs are my favorite. I love staying with and comforting a dog who is really going to miss you. I’m perfect for dogs who need mediation or a little extra sensitiviy because of a condition. I’m an active person so I’m ready to play a lot of tug-of-war or taking them on run, if that’s what they like. I’ll be a really happy if they just love cuddling too. I’ve grown up with four dogs of my own my whole life. I studied animal behavior and have supported cats and dogs with complex health conditions needing medication, physical therapy, injections, and mobility support (doggie wheelchairs) I’m happy to have extended stays for those long trips. I’ll water plants at needed, get your packages, and I always make sure your apartment and pupper is clean and comfy when you get back! I’ve volunteered at the Anti Cruelty and Paws for 10 years. I am the go to sitter for all my friend’s animals; dogs, cats, birds, reptiles. I am great at following Pet Parents protocols and keeping an eye on your pet’s behavior to find out what they need from me each visit. I have a flexible work from home schedule so I am available after 7am until 9pm for walks and drop in visits. Available 7 days a week. I always follow the instructions Pet Parents give me and follow common sense safety guidelines. Open doors slowly and at a minimum until I know where your pets are. Always a secure and safely fitting leash, vest, collar. Refreshing food and water as instructed. Keeping an eye in the house for accidents or odd behavior to message to the Pet Parent and take care of the need.

“Camille is amazing! She took such great care of our dog Remi. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly loves dogs. Remi instantly bonded with her, and we loved the updates and photos from their walks. It gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Camille to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful dog walker!”

About: I have had/cared for my dog Kiki for over 12 years, and I have various other animals owned by my friends & family that I've cared for, including dogs of various sizes, cats, fish, and a bunny! I currently own and run my own online business which is highly adaptable to your schedule needs, as the owner I make my own schedule and can tailor my schedule around your needs! I am very willing to meet the standards and expectations of the pet owners, I keep a very open mind and am not picky when it comes to size of animals, specific food/walking requirements, etc

“Kaira has been walking my 2 dogs for 2 weeks now and she has been absolutely wonderful. She is very communicative and has patience to spare with my puppy who’ was a rescue and not easy! I also have a senior dog and she is very patient with her going up and down stairs as well as the slow walks. I cannot recommend Kaira enough!!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. My best friend Murphy, and before that Cricket and Benji. I love dogs and cats, and I am quick to form bonds with them. Whether that be with friends/family, or my years taking care of the neighborhood pets while their families were out of town. I have plenty of experience with animals of all age groups and sizes. I have a special fondness for older doggies, and understand that they may require some extra care and love. My only schedule constraints are my full-time undergrad classes, but my classes are spaced out throughout the day. If we talk through a schedule beforehand I can almost always make it work. I’m very patient with dogs, and I understand that unfamiliar faces can be scary for them—especially when their parents are away. I give lots of love, and I am experienced with positive reinforcement training. I never get mad or upset, and I’ve learned that my emotions often influence theirs. Your pets are your heart, I completely understand that. I’ll treat them like the precious parts of your lives that they are.

About: Humans and dogs have been homies for thousands of years, and I think that bond is one of the coolest things about our relationship. I’ve never had a life without a dog (or two) by my side, and I love getting to know each one’s unique personality. They’re all little weirdos in the best way. I’m not a certified trainer, but I’m always more patient than the dogs. I build real relationships based on trust, understanding, and plenty of treats. I’ve worked from home my entire adult life, so I’ve spent years giving my own dogs constant love and attention, and now I get to offer that same care to pups whose people can’t be home all day. I have a ton of flexibility during the week, so pet care fits easily into my schedule. I love walks I can get to on foot, but I’m also happy to drive or hop on the CTA for visits a little farther away. When I’m in someone else’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I follow each pet’s routine exactly as instructed and make sure doors and gates are always secure before we head out or come back in. On walks, I stay alert to keep pets safe and comfortable whether that means avoiding busy areas, giving them extra time to sniff, or bringing water on hot days. My goal is to make every visit calm, safe, and full of trust (and maybe a little fun, too).

“Chris is so awesome with my puppy, Juni! He really puts in effort to get to know the dog and the owner, which made me feel confident booking with him.”

“Sarah is a wonderful and quick communicator, flexible, friendly and reliable. So thankful she could watch after our pup with only a couple days notice!”

“Alex was wonderful walking our dog Max. We are happy for his next adventure but sad to see him go. Hopefully he’ll be back around- we would definitely have him be our Rover again!”

“Michael has been wonderful with our two dogs! He is dependable, caring, and truly great with them. Our dogs absolutely adore him, and it's clear how much he genuinely loves what he does. We're very grateful to have found Michael and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dogs with love and care.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Courtney. She has been walking my golden retriever, Walter, for the past couple of weeks, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Walter is truly my child, so I’m very particular about who I trust to care for him. Courtney immediately put me at ease. She is dependable, always on time, and—most importantly—it’s obvious that she genuinely cares about Walter. Finding someone you completely trust with your dog isn’t easy, and having Courtney take care of Walter gives me real peace of mind. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy. Walter and I are both very happy we found her!”

“Solange was great with Lily! The weather was too bad for her to walk outside but she played with Lily and tired her out. She was great at communicating before and after and was very kind at our meet and greet with her. We want Lily to get to walk with her in the future!”
