Dog Walking in Elmwood Park

“We’ve used Jonathan a few times now to walk our older dog, Archer, when we’ve been away. Not only is he prompt, reliable and trustworthy, it’s clear he truly cares. We had some difficulty finding someone to walk Archer because he requires extra care and assistance having a BM. Jonathan was very patient as I trained and instructed him. Now, we have the utmost trust and peace of mind that Archer will be well cared for when we’re away or not able to. If I could give him 10 stars I would.”

“Willery did an excellent job walking my 65 pound boxer named Deebo. She followed all care instructions throughly and communicated with me about his progress constantly. I highly recommend her for your pet care needs.”

About: My heart doesn’t know any other way-when it comes to animals, I love them instantly and unconditionally. I have 18+ years of experience caring for animals, starting from a very young age. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for both Pitbulls and French Bulldogs but to me, breed doesn’t matter. I truly love all animals, big or small. I’m bilingual and speak both English and Spanish, which helps me connect with a wider range of pet parents and provide clear, open communication. I’ve always been the go-to person for anything pet-related. My family calls me the dog whisperer because I have a natural bond with animals, especially dogs. Whether it’s advice, health concerns, or just being a listening ear, I’m the one family and friends trust with their fur babies. My soul dog was a red nose pitbull named Bricks- he taught me what real love is. Since then, I’ve raised three amazing French Bulldogs: Juicy, Kuma, and Tron. I also had the incredible experience of raising two litters from birth- Juicy had 5 puppies and Kuma had 6. I provided round-the-clock care until they were ready for their forever homes. I still keep in touch with the families- they became part of mine. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I regularly pet-sit for friends, family, and neighbors-dogs and cats alike. One of my most consistent companions is Max, my neighbor’s dog, whom I’ve been caring for for over a year. I give him daily medication and make sure he always feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ve also cared for a bearded dragon, who was part of our family for 11 wonderful years. I’m familiar with reptile needs, feeding, handling, and tank care. I also have experience caring for a cockatiel, including feeding, changing water, and maintaining a calm, happy environment for birds. I’m experienced with: Giving medication Drop-in visits Long walks and playtime Baths and basic grooming Feeding routines and crate care Newborn puppy care and socialization Basic reptile and bird care I truly treat every pet like they’re my own because in my heart, they are. The amount of kisses, cuddles, love, and attention your pet will receive is immense. I go above and beyond to make sure every animal feels safe, comforted, and cared for like family. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. You can trust me to provide more than just care. I offer love, safety, and genuine companionship. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and lots of love throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening snuggles, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Being home full-time means your pet will never feel alone and will always have someone nearby to care for and comfort them. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m visiting yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. At my home, pets have plenty of room to play and relax-I have a large fenced-in yard that's perfect for safe outdoor time and supervised play. If your pet is crate-trained or needs a crate for naps or bedtime, I can easily accommodate that too. I follow each pet’s routine closely-feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care instructions-to make sure they feel at home. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and ensure everything is done exactly how you’d like. I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for. I treat every pet like family and work hard to create a calm, loving, and secure environment, whether they’re with me or in their own home.

About: Hi there! I’m a 26-year-old animal lover living with my partner, and one lovable senior pup. Fred, our senior dog, is the gentlest soul you’ll ever meet. All fur babies boarding in my home are friendly and used to being around other animals. However, most remain separated until acclimated for safety reasons. (Please request solo boarding at time of reservation if you’d prefer your fur baby not to be with other animals) We have a cozy, pet-friendly home with plenty of space for your furry friend to feel safe and loved. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust when you're away, so I’m here to provide a calm, caring environment for your pet while you're gone. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch or outdoor playtime, I’m happy to match your pet’s needs and routines. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby I work from 9am to 2pm, so I handle all walks, playtime, and feeding for my pets from 7-9am before I head out. When I get home around 2:30pm, I do another round of walks, playtime, and feeding. At 12 I come home for lunch and do snack time. Feeding schedules can be adjusted to fit your fur babies needs please discuss any special requests with me. I’m available for boarding on weekdays after 2:30pm and weekends after 10am, making it easy to care for your pets while accommodating my schedule. Whether it’s for a play session, walks, or just some cozy cuddle time, your pet will feel right at home with my flexible routine. I offer pet care in my home, ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. Your pet will enjoy a structured routine with feeding, playtime, and walks, all while being surrounded by my friendly fur family—Fitzgerald, Westley, and Fred. I’m experienced in providing special care, like administering medication or post-surgery recovery. I’m also flexible and can adjust to fit your pet's specific routine and needs. Before boarding, we’ll have a conversation to understand your pet's wants and requirements, ensuring they have the best possible stay with us.

About: I love dogs and have had 2 of my own. I also used to foster dogs, and at one time had 8 doggies in my home! I recently lost my 12 year old beagle and am looking to offer my love and time to other people's furry companions. I am available for walks and boarding any time! I work from home so I am able to give lots of love, attention, and walks to your fur baby if they stay with me ❤️ I am happy to book for recurring walks up to 4x/week I live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in yard. I live in a shared house, with a separate living space. There is a beagle living in the home (he is very friendly!!), but I can keep him completely separated if need be. Your pet's wellbeing is my top priority. 🐾

“Karen was a great dog walker. We had our initial meet and greet with her and she was very understanding with how our dogs were with new people. She was very patient and kind with them. I loved the updates with photos she put on their report card, I could see that they were being well taken care of. She would keep me updated when I needed to refill their doggy bags. My dogs quickly liked her and would patiently wait by the door for her to come. As an anxious dog mom, I was able to trust her completely. I would highly recommend Karen for any pet needs.”

Toni J.

“I was looking for a new dog walker after my last one recently moved, and after extensive searching, I found Bryndon. He accommodated my last-minute booking and quickly gained the trust of my reactive dog, Shaggy. Shaggy was excited every time Bryndon came back to walk him, and I was impressed with Bryndon's responsiveness. I am looking forward to booking with him again in the future.”

Peggy P.

“Carolyn was great, super friendly and attentive and Coco loved her! I couldn't be happier :)”

“Juliana walked my dog for two weeks and she was great! He would get so excited any time he saw her and would come back home very happy as well. Thank you Juliana! :)”

About: Note: I cannot take your beloved doggie in my home, however I can accommodate with dog sitting at owners home, dog walking, and doggie exercise routines. I only board cats and birds. *I currently own no pets. *ALL animals that I watch are free to roam around my home as they like. *I have both COVID vaccinations and booster. *I only take immunized animals in my home. *No wild cats of any breed please. *No cats with issues using or learning how to use the litterbox. *I have a nursing assistant license so I’m aware of how to keep things sanitary (food items and wound care) I enjoy the outdoors. Im familiar with walking dogs in the heat and performing and adjusting exercise routines. I have experience with older dogs with end-life cancer and dogs just out of medical operation. I can administer oral medication and/or topical creams and apply sterile bandages. I can be tender and loving but also highly energetic and playful for your dog/cat. I have 2.5 years of experience caring for younger pitbulls and un-neutered and high energy terriers. It’s easy for me to tell when an animal is feeling nervous, scared, happy, tired etc. and therefore can adjust their days schedule with them. I grew up with 8 cats, my favorite being my orange/white tabby who lived for 18.5 years. She taught me all about cat mannerisms, likes and dislikes, what meows can mean, cat behavior, cat fears, when a cat is scared/happy/wanting something. Boots was my other kitty (a shorthair tuxedo) who had a huge personality and came from a background of neglect. Boots was my companion and best friend who would walk with me outside. I had a personal relationship with all my cats, the list would be too long for writing. With owners preference, I am able to groom, wash and maintain hygienic care for any dog or cat you have. I give every pet the chance to explore my home, social interaction, and a lot of ❤️ Indoor play is very easy for cats. I already have many cat toys and a scratch post or can use your preference of toys. I always give kitties something to scratch, a window to look out to, a perch to sit up on, and space to move around. Dogs have a lot more energy so I spend more time outside with them. Balls are always a big hit for dogs and cats. Bones, owner preferred treats, and baths (if your pet allows) are always a distraction and a time of play. I am big on communication so I update owners to pictures and texts however often they prefer. I’m a masters student with a child so I’m available part-time for in-home dog sitting, cat/bird boarding, cat/dog walking. I can do several weeks with in-home boarding schedules. My time is flexible but I prefer mornings and afternoons for one-time requests. I’m very familiar with making indoor and outdoor cats happy with toys, stimulation, bedding, clean food and toiletry. I keep my home clean at all times. I check for daily needs of kitty/doggie and provide freq updates. If I’m in my home or the clients home, I can clean up for your pet and make their space cozy and tidy.

About: First, I am a client of Roger. I found some truly great sitters who adore my dog. I am recently retired and looking to give back to those who need a great dog sitter/walker. Since getting Moose (my 2 year old 90 pound Bernadoodle, I have fallen in love with all dogs. They steal your heart. A days notice is great but also last minute notice is ok too. I will do my best to accommodate. Only days I am not available are Mondays and Wednesdays I follow the direction of the owner. Feed as needed, walk as needed, and whatever instructions are provided. Provide a lot a play as well

I have dog sitted my family members dogs when they are on vacation, so i have experience taking them on walks and feeding them.

About: I’ve been around dogs and animals my whole life, and I’ve had my family pup for the past 12 years. I genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds—whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing together. I’m the person who always stops mid-day just to say hi to a dog or meet someone’s pet! You can count on me to treat your pet like my own—with love, patience, and lots of belly rubs. Whether you need a reliable dog walker or a caring pet sitter, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels safe and happy while you’re away. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet you and your pet! 🐶🐱🐾 I’m a teacher, so I have my summers off and lots of free time during those months. I wanted to spend that time doing something I truly enjoy—being around animals! Since I can’t have pets in my current home during the school year, I’m using my summer break to give all my attention and love to other people’s pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the summer and would love to spend that time getting outside and hanging out with some furry friends! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the space with the same care and attention I would in my own. I’ve pet sat for puppies before and also raised my own dog, so I understand how important it is to create a safe, structured environment—especially for curious pets who love to explore! I make sure areas are free of anything they could get into, and I always keep a close eye on them to prevent accidents or mischief. I follow each pet’s routine and needs carefully. I also take time to build trust and make pets feel comfortable, going at their pace and giving them all the love and attention they need while their family is away.
