Dog Walking in Elk Grove Village

About: I bring a lifetime of hands‑on experience with animals, both personally and professionally. I have cared for my own pets and entrusted animals for decades, and I have built my entire career around responsible, observant and compassionate animal care. Available both weekdays and weekends, can do morning, mid-day and evening appointments. Open to multi-day engagements for clients who need some vacation support, as well as consistent daily appointments. I have two cats and two birds, as well as a plethora of fish at home. I give off “chill vibes” and will care for your pet as if they were my own!

“Maricela P. was just amazing with our Winston! He can be a handful at times just because he gets very excited to meet new people but Maricela handled him with the same care and affection as we do. She was the best with Winston and we are very grateful for finding her!”

“Mariela has been my five-day a week walker for my two Labradors for the past two months. She has shown great care with my dogs. Having a senior dog and a puppy is a challenge, but Mariela recognizes their individual needs and is very patient with both of them. I’m glad to have someone I can trust taking care of my pups each day!”

As well as looking into veterinary profession so I have clinic experience as well. I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care.

With experience in animal rescue and veterinary settings, I am comfortable recognizing concerns and ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

I am a reliable caregiver who treats every pet like my own. Whether your pup loves long adventures or slow sniff-filled strolls, I make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I've cared for senior dogs and have experience with basic medication administration. I work in a school, so I have my summer wide open to care for your pets while you're away!

In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean and secure. I also provide updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I am a dog owner for the past 8 years and own two Setter pups. Friends have entrusted me with their dogs for petsitting and dog walking - in some occasions I would have as many as 4 dogs with me, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! As a dog parent I know how important is to have someone you trust with your baby, I will treat your dog as my own, making sure your dog is safe and happy! My work schedule varies week by week between office and home, which allows me some flexibility. When in the area, I am flexible to go on a walk with your pup to get some fresh air or do a drop in visit to spend some time with them. When I drop in to check on your pup or take on a walk, I will always follow your instructions closely and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. During walks, I will keep a close eye on them, always be on leash, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise based on their energy level. Afterward, provide a quick pupdate so you know your pup is happy and well taken care of.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have experience caring for and walking dogs for friends and family. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I love staying active, so long walks and playtime are never a problem. I’m patient, reliable, and enjoy sending photo updates and check-ins so you can feel confident that your dog is happy and well cared for. I’m currently on summer break, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I have a 2-hour practice each day, but outside of that I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions to make sure their pet stays comfortable and maintains their normal routine. In a client’s home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention while keeping the space clean and secure. I also send regular updates and photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for. I adjust my care to each pet’s personality, energy level, and specific needs to help them feel safe and comfortable.

About: I have my own dog, and I work at dogtopia, where I watch 20+ dogs at one time. I play with the dogs and clean up after them! I'm currently working part-time, so l'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 1:30pm! I have a fenced in yard and 1 friendly dog to keep your pup company! Willing to accommodate to your dogs needs if they differ from how we treat our dog.

About: I’ve been pet sitting dogs, cats, and small exotic pets for over a decade! I initially gained professional dog-handling experience from dog daycares/kennels. Then I became a vet tech and have worked in emergency care as well as general practice for a few years. I love taking care of pets in their own homes and do whatever I can to keep your pet on their normal routine while you’re gone! I'm comfortable with canines, felines, small animals, old, young, and everyone in between! Let me come care for your pets in the comfort of their own space, I will love them like they are my own. I petsit and dog walking for a living, so I will prioritize each visit on my schedule. I organize my schedule to accommodate each clients needs and am open and communicative should there be any last minute changes to the agreement. I take safety very seriously. I keep doors locked behind me unless told otherwise. I make sure if we’re going outside that the leash/harness is secure, and I don’t allow other people or pets to approach us on walks for safety. I’m Fear Free certified which means I’ve taken courses on body language and how to interact with dogs specifically.

About: I will be as obsessed with your dog as I am with mine! I adopted my 10 year old Terrier when she was 3 months old. I have pet sat for many friends throughout the years. I have grown to learn how to walk even the stubborn dogs (mine doesn't like to walk in rain or snow). I understand the uncertainty an owner may feel to have someone walk their dog because I felt the same way when I first started using Wag. I know that your dog is part of your family and will tream them as I would treat mine.

“First time I used a professional dog walker. Christina was on time and my Australian Shepard definelty liked her. Would definely have Christina take care of my dog again!”

About: I have experience medicating, socializing, walking, bathing (ear cleaning and nail trims too), and house sitting dogs and cats of all different ages, needs, breeds, tempers and sizes. I currently work/volunteer with rescue dogs and cats for around 9+ years and absolutely love it! I also used to work at a veterinarian hospital for 2 years. I know how to maintain basic dog obedience and read cat and or dog behaviors very well. I always love to send report cards with you via email or text. This way you know how each day went with your lovable furry family member(s). I also enjoy sending cute and fun photos or short videos of your pet(s), wether it’s during our walk or house sitting. My goal is to always make it a pawsitive experience for you and your pet. Before work I will always have a check list making sure your fur baby is at home with everything he/she may need. After work I will go straight home to him/her and make sure they get the best care for the rest of the day. Making sure your furry family members are happy and having all their needs met makes me smile knowing they are having a pawsitive experience. I always make sure to monitor any pet in my care closely. Their safety, comfort and happiness are my biggest priorities. Cuddle time is an activity I enjoy doing with all pets. Seeing your fur baby happy with unlimited pets and affection is very rewarding to me.
