Dog Walking Elgin

“Carolann is wonderful, punctual and communicates very well. She was so helpful as we traveled into Steamboat with our two pups. Every day she came to meet us at our motel ready to walk our pups in snow for an hour. We knew our pups loved her because they came back exercised and ready to nap.”

About: Can guarantee your fur baby will be treated as my own while in my care and have lots of loving and playing time. I go on walks daily in our neighborhood we have beautiful trails that range up to 3 miles, a dog park to play fetch and a pond with lots of wildlife for sightseeing. They will definitely get lots of cuddles from me around the clock since I’m working from home, I have a 3 YO friendly Doberman who loves having company and playing with in the backyard. I have experience sitting, walking and dropping in on family/friends pets and also local neighbors. Please reach out if you have any questions ☺️ I work from home full time during the week and can drop in if needed to at your house to let the dog out and for feeds. Evenings and weekends hours vary so please reach out for more info. I live in a great neighborhood that is very dog friendly filled with trails, a dog park and a pond with wildlife walking around it. My yard is a good sized for my Doberman to run around in and fenced. I have 2 older children who love dogs as much as I do to give extra loving. My Doberman is friendly and is the only one in this house so he gets excited to be able to play with new friends.

About: I have over 20 years of personal, hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I regularly support friends and family with their pet care needs, from daily walks and playtime to feeding, companionship, and keeping routines consistent while they’re away. I’m comfortable caring for both energetic pets who love to play and explore, as well as couch-loving companions who prefer quiet company and naps. I have minor experience administering medications and assisting with basic medical care, and I always follow instructions carefully and ask questions when needed. I’m patient, observant, and genuinely love animals—I’m absolutely the person at every gathering who ends up sitting on the floor bonding with the pets. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. Pet care fits easily into my daily schedule. Outside of caring for my own pets, I’m very open and flexible, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, extended visits, and overnight care as needed. I plan my day around the pets I’m responsible for, making sure they get consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship. Whether your pet needs structured activity, relaxed company, or a mix of both, I’m happy to adjust my routine to match theirs. Reliability and clear communication are important to me, and I make sure pet care is never rushed or treated as an afterthought. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, and any household preferences. I treat every home with respect and care, making sure your pet’s space stays clean, safe, and calm. I take time to give pets attention and companionship—not just the basics—whether that means playtime, enrichment, or simply sitting with them so they don’t feel alone. I’m observant and communicative, and I provide updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home. You want photo updates? I got you! :)

“Wow! What a great experience with Lakeisha! She was on time, Sat and talked to me about her history…very friendly, asked question about my dog, the whole 9 yards! My 90- pound dog really took to Keisha. She took him on a 30-minute walk and sent video while they walked. He was a well- behaved, happy to be on a walk dog!! I think she and my dog made an instant connect. He was happy when he got back and so was I. Lakeisha will be here 3 days a week and my pup and I look forward to it! I highly recommend Lakeisha!!”

“Ashlynn is amazing! She’s been taking Ford on walks 3-5 days a week the past couple of months. She’s always on time, quick to reply and sends daily updates. We are lucky to have her help, since we have to work in the office. We can tell she cares and loves for him, which is all you can ask for!!”

About: Hi, I’m Britt! Caring for animals has always been a source of peace and joy for me. I’ve been fortunate to care for both people and pets ranging from infants to furry companionship,but there’s something special about the unconditional love and trust that animals offer. Over the years, I’ve gained experience through hands on pet care and volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I supported the well being of dogs, cats, and other rescues. I take pride in creating a safe, loving environment for pets, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving them the attention they crave, I treat every animal as if they were my own. For me, it’s a passion that brings balance and happiness to my life. I’m excited to provide attentive, thoughtful care to your beloved pets!🐾✨ My daily and weekly schedule revolves around ensuring pets get the love and attention they need while balancing their routines with my own. Each day starts with feeding and hydration, followed by engaging activities like walks in the morning or exploring nearby parks. Throughout the week, I dedicate time to interactive games and mental stimulation, such as puzzles or sniffing activities for dogs, and playful toys for cats. I prioritize keeping track of each pet's unique needs—whether it’s medications, exercise preferences, or calming techniques for nervous pets. Home visits allow me to adapt to their environments, offering tailored care that mirrors their usual habits. My goal is to integrate their care into my routine seamlessly, balancing work and personal time with being their reliable companion. In My Home: When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment tailored to their needs. I ensure they have plenty of space to relax and play, along with a cozy area for resting. Their feeding and exercise schedules will mirror their normal routine as closely as possible, and I'll provide enrichment activities like interactive toys or sniffing games to keep them happy and engaged. For pets who need a little extra attention, I offer calm reassurance and maintain a peaceful atmosphere to help them feel at ease. In the Client's Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and sense of familiarity. I’ll follow instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, and any special needs or medications. I also keep the home clean and tidy, ensuring that toys, bedding, and food areas are in good condition. If the pet enjoys walks, I’ll take them out exploring, providing physical activity and mental stimulation. My goal is to make pets feel secure and cared for, as if they were with a trusted friend.

About: I've loved and raised dogs my whole life, and I love animals in every form. I've been the go-to sitter for several of my friends and family members over the years, and I would be honored to be able to meet your fur children and give them all the love and scritches they deserve. I'm currently sitting full time, so I have plenty of time to commit to caring for your critters. And from where I live just NW of central Austin, I'm able to get around town quickly and easily. I have a single-story 3 bedroom house and a large fenced backyard to give your dogs plenty of space to let our their zoomies. And as long as they are well groomed, I'm comfortable letting them cuddle with me on the furniture.

About: I took a course in Companion Animal science and learned the proper positive reinforcement techniques to train dogs to be service animals. I have loved dogs and animals my whole life and have done extensive research on various breeds/temperaments/behavior. While loving and caring for your pet, I can offer basic obedience training and leash training. I have looked after many of my friends and family’s pets and would consider myself a very knowledgeable and loving pet sitter! Every weekend, I’m always taking my dog to the nearest park or outdoor activity. I’d be happy to bring your pup along with us if they need some extra exercise/socializing/training on the weekends! Also available to drop in on the week day evenings My dog roams free in my apartment and likes to lounge on the balcony. He’s happy to have friends over to keep him company and play with. Non-destructive and housebroken dogs are more than welcome to roam free. If your dog has some chewing habits/ has accidents, they will have to be kennel trained and kenneled when I’m out of the house :)

About: I have had several pets over the years, including dogs, cats, and a ferret. I now have a ten-year-old Yorkie who I just adore and spoil by taking her to parks and outings to the stores. I would love to spoil your baby the same way, like taking your baby to Meyers Park, Kicerillo-Mischer preserve, and more outings. My experiences include house-sitting pets in my home for up to two weeks and in the owner's home for up to one week. Additionally, I have taken dogs, including cats, for walks in the owner's preferred parks and locations. I have also done doggy daycare services for up to eight hours a day in my home, as well as drop-ins to spend time and feed your precious pet. I currently work for myself, so my schedule is very flexible. I'm here whenever you need me to spend some quality time with your furbaby. I can keep your furbaby in my home or your home; it's up to you. I have a ten-year-old Yorkie who is sweet as pie, and she would love to have your baby over and go places with her. I have a stroller big enough for the two of them.

About: Your dog will love me they call me the dog whisperer. I’m very energetic and into fitness love going for runs, and playing around. From playing catch, tug of war, scratching bellies, why wouldn’t your dog love me? My availability is pretty open i work from home . I have much experience with dogs, I have had 2 of my own that I took very good care of. I have also been in the dog walking business for 2 years and enjoy every minute. Getting to know so many different dogs with so many different personalities. I have also worked with dogs that are challenged. So let me get to know you and your dog and let your dog loose to have fun you won’t regret it. I also live in a house with an amazing back yard and my home isn’t too far away from a dog park. Pet care fits into my schedule well. I will always make time to care for any animal in need no matter the place or time. I will care for your pets like they are my own. I can even bring them to my home to play with my fur babies to have interactions with someone besides me.
