Dog Walking Edison

“Amanda has been amazing with my very shy and timid dog, who typically doesn’t do well with strangers. I love the reports I get and it gives me great peace of mind knowing my puppy is in good hands!”

“Highly recommend Rachel! She was extremely flexible with some last minute changes on my end and was communicative early about when she was not available. My timid dog warmed up to her right away and Rachel did amazing at keeping goodbyes short to mininize her separation anxiety. I received plenty of photos/videos/updates and felt confident leaving Summer in her care.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I used to assist my mom in breeding and have been pet sitting for family and friends for many years. I currently have a bulldog of my own and a leopard gecko. I work full time but I have my own dog so I can easily make sure our furry friends are well taken care of and looked after when your away! I can easily follow whatever your furry friends schedule is, whether it’s putting them in a crate to keep them safe and secure or making sure they are safe roaming through the house while your away!

“An absolute wonderful person to watch after your pet! She was so loving toward Charlie and he had an absolutely blast with her while I was out of town. Big thanks to Theresa!”

If you agree to let me take care of your babies I will do the best in my power to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Message me if you have any questions. Thank you 😊 I work for a company that is remote. I have full control of the scheduling and when I work. So there would be no problem fitting it in to my routine! I make sure to treat them like family. I take care of the home as well. I would follow all of owners guidelines for walks, crating, and administering medication. Always making sure your pup is safe, having a tight hold onto leashes when walking!

About: 🦴 hii, i’m jo (they/them)! i like being playful, hiking, and adventure. 🐶 i’m obsessed with dogs and have been caring for them for 15+ years. i have really great boundaries, which i think is crucial in the care i can offer your dog/s. i also match their energy, from snoozers 💤 to zoomers 🎾 i’m able to accomidate dogs that require higher levels of attention, take them on extensive walks (15-30 mins) based on request and mobile ability, and am comfortable adminstering oral and topical medication. i know how stressful it can be to find a purrfect friend for your companion, so please feel free to ask questions before booking! if there’s any special accommodations i can try my best to meet them! i also take covid precautions:) my routine is very flexible, as i naturally prioritize pet care, just as much as my own:) depending on the day, i’m available for quick afternoon visits, setting aside multiple hours, as well as overnight sitting. establishing a trusting relationship is very important to me, whether that be with you or your dog/s. i’m dedicated to finding methods that work best for each individual needs. for example, i can walk your dogs leashed or let them freely wander fenced in yards. please don’t hesitate to communicate thorough desires/accommodations!

About: Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. From energetic dogs who love adventure to cats who prefer a quiet companion, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. My goal is simple: give your pets the attention, care, and peace of mind they deserve while you’re gone.

“So wonderful. Autumn is always so excited to see Vanessa 😊”

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life, ranging from puppy till very old. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from terriers to 100 lb German shepherds. I am familiar and comfortable with dogs of all temperament, from super hyper and high energy to very timid. I am very flexible in scheduling, great at keeping you up to date and communicating. I also have experience with rabbits, hamsters, Guinea pigs, lizards, snakes, horses, birds, and fish :) I can work with multiple animals at the same time, and I can provide any sort of medication/ special treatment that they may need to be loved and happy. I'm more than happy to accommodate special circumstances of any kind, so feel free to reach out and see if we'd be a good match!

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, for family and friends who are pet parents, I am their first choice when it comes to pet sitting. I have also volunteered at my local animal shelters and to me, the animal's well-being is my highest priority. I have a job with flexible work hours so I can always make time to take care of your best friend. I also work remotely so I can be with your pet for however long is needed. If I am at the client's house, I will follow any and all special instructions involving taking care of their pet. I will make sure the dog is fed, gets plenty of exercise, clean up any messes, and just make sure that they feel safe and cared for.

About: Having a few furry friends of my own (two cats and a corgi), I am always looking to make new furry friends and feel more than capable of providing quality care for your pets. I work an 8-5 job Monday through Friday, but can do after 5:00 drop-ins (potentially mid day drop ins when schedule allows) weekends are much more flexible and can be worked around. At my home, our corgi is crate trained and loves to play (lots of energy!). My cats could not be more opposite of each other — one of them is lovey and greets you at the door, while the other is shy and likes to hide. Either works for me!

About: I've had experience with pets ranging from rats, to fish, to snakes, cats, and dogs. I am no stranger to dogs/animals in general. I'll do everything in my power to ensure the safety and happiness of your beloved family member. I can handle big pets and small pets. Aggressive, anxious, timid, reactive, and generally difficult pets are my specialty. I can keep up with high energy/athletic pets, and care for disabled pets. I can pass meds, teach a few commands, and give you updates on how your pets are doing. Animals tend to love me as much as I love them, thank you for trusting me with you family. I'm available pretty much every day and during select holidays. I have a very flexible schedule due to the nature of my work at this time. I do drop ins, house sitting, and walks. I'll check on your pets, make sure they haven't gotten into anything, play with them, feed them, take them out, clean up after them, and provide updates on their care.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've been lucky to parent dogs, cats, and horses, including two retired racing Greyhounds and a tuxedo cat who made me a certified cat person. Beyond my own, I've been caring for pets professionally (i.e., beyond friends and family) for more than 15 years, and after taking some time away while completing my PhD and living abroad, I'm excited to be back doing something I've always loved. In 2011, I started walking pups professionally in Chicago as a side gig during my breaks from tour managing for a band, which quickly turned into my dog-walking clients asking me to stay in their home with their pets while they were away. Over the span of just a few years, I built relationships with more than 30 clients, with most of them turning into repeat (and repeat and repeat!) clients. I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from tiny Yorkies to Great Danes and everything in between. I've also worked with many pets that required extra patience or specialized care. I've cared for senior pets, dogs < 1yo, a blind Australian Cattle Dog, a deaf cat, highly anxious and stranger-wary dogs, VERY stranger-wary cats, a Beagle with a seizure disorder, and pets receiving medication. I've also been the go-to sitter for a couple of families going through difficult times with their critters, including caring for their pets with terminal illnesses during their final days (both a black lab named Maggie and the sweetest deaf black cat named Sam) . Over the years, I've handled a few very unexpected situations as well. Whether it's a medical event requiring an unexpected trip to the veterinarian or even arriving to a cat drop-in visit to find that the apartment had experienced a break-in (in my Chicago days, which included working with police and gathering the terrified cats from the apartment stairwell), I've stayed calm, communicated clearly, and focused on keeping the critters safe and the clients informed. There have also been several occasions where I've extended my stay last-minute due to a client's canceled flight or interrupted travel plans. One of the biggest differences between my prior pet sitting days and now is my flexibility due to my remote work. When I pet sat extensively throughout Chicago, my tour managing days had ended and I worked a full-time 9-5 downtown. This was fine for my clients, as they had a similar schedule. But I now work fully remotely, so I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to spend much more time with your pets throughout the day than I could years ago. I essentially do my best to work around your pet's normal routine. I'm happy to accommodate early mornings, evenings, or midday visits whenever possible. My goal is to make life feel as normal and stress-free as possible for your pets while you're away. When I'm in your home, I treat it with the same respect I'd expect someone to show mine, as I've also hired pet sitters over the years for my own critters. I follow your instructions (the more the better!), keep you updated with photos (lots!) and messages, and make sure your pets receive the same routines, rules, and attention they're used to (e.g., their feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, cuddle time, or simply keeping them company).

About: Hi, I’m Ellen! 🐾 If your dog is family, we’re already on the same page. ❤️ I’m a lifelong dog lover who knows how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pup. I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m currently a proud dog mom to King, a big goofy pit bull mix who keeps me laughing and on my toes. I also had the privilege of caring for my beloved Yoda, who will always be a very special part of my heart. My experience with both of them has taught me just how different every dog can be—and how important patience, consistency, love, and lots of belly rubs are. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some playtime, medication reminders, cuddles on the couch, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so communication is a big priority for me. I’m happy to send photos, videos, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is happy, safe, and loved. Your dog’s routine stays their routine. I’ll follow your instructions, respect their personality and boundaries, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection while you’re away. I can’t promise I won’t fall in love with your dog… but I can promise I’ll give them the same care and attention I’d want for King. 🐶❤️ I’d love to meet you and your pup! 🗓️ Schedule I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding and daycare, including weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pup’s normal schedule and needs. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog, King, who loves having a buddy around. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on the pups in my care and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. I’ll follow your care instructions, respect your dog’s boundaries, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home.

About: I have been around dogs and other animals my entire life! I have experience with puppies and dogs of every size! I have dog sat for many people in the past, and I always treat them like my own little family members. I work at a public school, so my typical work schedule is from 7-3:15 Monday-Friday. During the weekends, I am able to dedicate more time for your pet if needed! I am a visual person, and I thrive off of written instructions! My favorite part of petsitting is getting to know each pet and their individual quirks and routines. I’m happy to lounge on the couch or go on many walks throughout the day, depending on what your pets are used to. :)
