Dog Walking in Elgin

“Great walker! Would highly recommend! Very good communication and made sure my pup was safe throughout their walk despite him going bananas over a flying leaf…😂”

“Wendy has been walking my puppy, Missy, three days a week for 30 minutes each time, and she’s been wonderful. Missy always comes back happy and relaxed after their walks. Missy is a diva and sometimes resists going out, but Wendy is always patient, kind, and understanding with her. I especially love the feedback and pictures Wendy shares after each walk—they give me a lot of comfort and peace knowing how Missy is doing. I’ve really appreciated the care and consistency she brings to every visit, and I hope to see her back in the spring.”

About: My family got a dog when I was one. I grew up taking care of him and loved him more than anything. He died last year due to cancer. He had a great life. Now i just wanna take care of dogs and although im still new on this app, ive been around all types of dogs all my life!! Hello! I am currently a part time student so I can work evenings! Or wednesdays in the mornings! Or Friday afternoons and evenings! My calendar has all the details I assure that dogs that are safe no matter the location. Whatever works best for your pet is what I will provide. I live in an apartment but it has a pet area in the back where they can play in a fenced area.

“Fred has been an absolute blessing to our family. Moochy like him immediately and trusted him. She’s usually pretty skittish. Fred was always on time, willing to be flexible if needed, and was just really good with Moochy. I needed someone who was strong to walk mooch because she’s big and strong. Fred had no trouble with it. I had absolute faith in Fred’s ability to handle her. And when Mooch saw his car pull up, she was so happy. I have no trouble recommending Fred to be your dog walker.”

“Jessica did an amazing job walking my pitbull! She was punctual, professional, and clearly experienced with handling dogs. My pup came back happy and well-exercised. She was also very communicative, giving me updates during the walk, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have five years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Neighbors and family trust me to keep their pets safe, happy and well-fed. Pet care fits perfectly into my flexible daily schedule. Because I have plenty of open time throughout the week, I can easily prioritize regular feeding, walking, and playtime routines. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I respect your space, double-check that all doors and gates are securely locked, and keep a close eye on your pet at all times.

About: I've cared for pets my whole life. I've kept aquariums, grew up with dogs, even raised two puppies in my time. Unfortunately I am allergic to cats and do not want to track dandruff home, so I will not be offering services for cats aside from drop ins. I'm a dad trying to be more active, make friends, and provide a service to the community. I love pets and I think they are an absolute blessing. For my fee I will actively exercise and play with your pets, teach them tricks or commands (if desired), and ensure they are pampered, engaged with, and given attention, rather than simply supervision. I'm currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule, so I can accommodate most requests. I would be happy to look after your family pet, no matter the occasion! How I care for your pet is entirely up to you, I will accommodate whichever preferences you may have. Every pet deserves to be played with, get exercise, and be well pampered. Rubs downs, brushing, bathing, I'm comfortable caring for your pet how you know best.

“Very keen to work with client and scheduling . Excellent manner and understanding of dogs. Clear and enjoyable reports on visits. Great working with Amanda (and the dog loves her!)”

Lisa V.

“Stella is so patient with our high-anxiety pitbull. She does so well giving him clear commands, playing with him, and making him feel safe. Thank you, Stella!”

“Vicki was very patient, professional, and dependable. She was a great help to my elderly father and his dog-walking needs. Highly recommend!”

On weekends, I have open availability, so I can dedicate even more time to keeping pets happy, comfortable, and cared for. I am very respectful of other peoples homes and creating a safe environment for your baby to feel safe in my company is a huge priority to me!

About: Dog sitting is new to me, but my love for dogs is not. After recently losing my own dog, I felt called to give back the same unconditional love he gave me. I provide calm, loving, and reliable care, creating a safe and comforting environment for every pup. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Although I work full time, I’m able to step away throughout the day for check-ins, cuddles, potty breaks, and quality time. Mornings, evenings, and breaks are fully dedicated to making sure each dog feels comfortable, loved, and cared for. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and loved. I follow feeding and care instructions closely, provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles, and make sure they feel secure in their environment. My goal is always for pets to feel at ease and cared for, just like family.

“So thankful to have found Amy! our senior rescue loves her walks. Amy is super caring to our sweet girl and I know she is in capable hands if there are any special needs or requests.”
