Dog Walking Fairview

“Kim took great care of my dog while I was away for a weekend. She cared for Indie like she was truly her own. She kept me updated and was flexible and timely. I recommend Kim highly for dog walking!”

About: I have worked in the animal field for a very long time I have worked with boarding animals as well as playing with daycare dogs, I have 2 shepherds of my own! I used to foster puppies and kittens and loved it! Attending to my own animals needs is a daily routine that I love doing I love playing with them and feeding them and giving them baths and I love training them I wouldn’t be who I am today if I wasn’t able to be with animals! I like to earn every animals trust before I make any move to love and take care of them, I have taught and fixed resource guarding and worked on food aggression with my dogs and I always separate to feed if needed to

“I went out of town for two weeks and was unable to bring my dog. Victoria came and walked her two times a day. She also made sure she had food and water. Victoria went above an beyond and took my high energy dog for runs! I was so worried initially about leaving Sophia, but Victorias extra pictures and detailed notes made me feel at ease. She was very easy to contact and kept me in the loop on everything. I will definitely be contacting her for any future trips I have planned!”

About: I grew up with having a dog around the house, so I have always loved being around pets. The last two summers I have pet sat for families while they were on vacation. Some of the dogs I have taken care of have had medical needs, so I am able to give dogs medication if needed. I have taken care of big and small dogs. I look forward to working and taking care of your pet! During the summer I have more availability outside of when I am on vacation. For house sitting services, I am happy to provide overnight care for your pet. There will be times I will leave the home to run errands, go to work, family time and etc. But I will make sure that your pet’s routine is kept in tact and that they get all the snuggles and love they need. I am a full time teacher so once the school year starts my availability will change. I will not be able to provide pet care in my home. But I can provide pet care in a clients home. I am able to provide walks, feed your pet, provide snuggles, and medication if needed. I will ensure the client home stays clean if I am booked for overnight pet care. If it is too hot outside I may limit the time for the walk. I will also bring a water bottle with a bowl to make sure your dog does not overheat.

About: I’m a high school graduate with a senior dog and a 10 year old cat. I love them so much and take care for them very seriously. My parents have always been super adamant about treating our pets in the healthiest way possible and I am aspiring to do the same! I give my dog baths and take care of her when my parents are out of town. I also have had petsitting jobs with my sister in the past and have pet sat a neighborhood friend’s dog for a week by myself. I babysit and help take care of her two dogs as well. I hope to meet your furry friend! I’m currently working two hours a day every day in the afternoon/evening. I am out of school so I have lots of time to walk your pet! I will not be boarding any dogs in my own home or staying at someone else’s house to dog sit. We can negotiate hours if you would like me to stay with your dog for longer. I prefer to walk smaller dogs as I am not physically capable of pulling away big dogs from people, animals, cats, distractions, etc. Even if your dog is a big puppy, I will not walk a big dog.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience from working at a doggy daycare. I have a dog of my own and regularly care for my family’s pets, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own! I am a teacher and I am currently enjoying my summer off. I have tons of time to come play and care for your pets! I care for pets with a mix of love, attention, and routine. At home or at a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime. I always give lots of affection, keep their space clean, and pay close attention to their behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy. Every pet is unique, and I do my best to meet their individual needs with patience and care!

About: I have been raised with a pet by side. When I have born we had two brittany spaniels that have since passed on. In 8th grade, after they passed, we adopted another puppy brittany. A year later, we adopted another, to have our current pair of brittanys. So I have experience raising puppies as well. I play with them outdoors and indoors, brush them, clean up their poop, bath them, feed them, and train them. They also get taken on walks at the local forest preserve for stimulation. I have experience in caring for fish and snakes. Between dogs, I had my cat to keep me company. She is solely my cat, so she got the same attention as the dogs, plus I bought her toys, treats, litter, and food. Outside of my dogs I have pet sit goldens labs, goldendoodles, springer spaniels, and many other breeds. As in my headline, I don't think any animal is low maintenance. That just means the pet isn't getting the care it deserves. I had my cat at my dorm first semester, and I fed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I made sure to play with twice a day and we played birds on the tv for stimulation as well. I had a weekly schedule to brush her twice a week, and clean the litter box every Sunday and Wednesday. At home I would alternate playing with my dogs, training, and brushing them whenever possible. I can play indoors and outdoors. I can take the animal for walks. Clean up any potential messes, such as muddy dogs or if a cat has a hairball. I can accompany senior pets that need help eating. I can brush the animal. And feed them, and do basic training.

About: My family and I have fostered and adopted rescue dogs over the past 8 years. I also have experience doing drop ins and house/pet sitting. I’m currently a part time college student and am working part time. I have class 2 days a week and work 5 days a week for 4 hours. I have experience with caring for pets in a safe and loving environment. I make sure they have fresh water, food, and plenty of attention while keeping their space clean and secure. I will also follow the owner’s instructions and make sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I worked for Petsmart's dog salon for 4 years so I know dogs of all shapes, ages and size! I am active and can run or walk your dog. I had two senior dog, who both passed. ( 14 and 16) I am not ready in my heart to have another pup join our family, but would love to give yours extra attention and care. I’ve also cared for goats, chickens, lizards, fish, and birds. Since my husband works from home and our children are a bit older, I have free time during the day to help you make sure your pets are healthy and happy while you are away. I know how difficult it can be to fit in all the responsibilities of owning a pet. I'd enjoy the chance to ease some of the burden. I have regular dog walking clients, but am happy to care for others pets between school drop off and pick. Since my family doesn't want pets again at this time I'd really love to care for yours. If it were a good fit I think we would be open to having pets at our home. I would need to clear it with my family.

About: I've been caring for dogs ever since I was little! I have always been absolutely in love with dogs. My first dog was a Great Dane, and ever since then I have had a soft spot in my heart for big dogs (that think they're lap dogs). Then I had a Chug (Chihuahua/Pug). I expertise in tummy rubs, and running off built up energy. Just being around dogs, playing with them, and walking them makes me happy! I have cared for all sizes of dogs, and have experience with several breeds. You can trust that I will take the best care of your pooch while mom and dad are away! I am available throughout the week. Can’t wait to help! Im mostly free throughout the week. I am happy to do overnights, and drop ins when I can. I make my sits a priority when I have them! If you need in-home services at your house, just let me know toys or activities available and preferred, and any parks or trails near by!

About: Although I don’t have any pets of my own (only chickens) I love all dogs!! And I did have a family dog growing up that we sadly lost. I pet sit for my friends and boyfriend occasionally and love to go on long walks! I am a part time student and also work as a certified pharmacy technician. Whenever I am free I like to go on walks and enjoy nature! Your dogs safety is just as important to you as it is to me! I carry pepper spray w me just in case and stay off my phone to avoid any distractions.

“Summer was available for a meet and greet very quickly as we had a last minute trip come up. My dog is still a puppy but he’s huge at almost 80 pounds and 9 months old and nonetheless Summer was able to handle him very well despite him having a habit of jumping when he gets excited and a tendency to pull on leashes. She followed all instructions I left and communicated very well. We came home to a happy pups who enjoyed his walks/visits! Will definitely book again.”

About: I love all animals and have always had a passion to work with animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, birds, you name it! I treat everyone's fur babies how I'd expect people to treat my mine. I use to do anesthesia-free dog teeth cleaning, so I am very comfortable with all sizes and types of dogs. I'm a good pick for your pets because I have a passion for animals and go up and beyond what's expected. I will always send you pictures of your sweet little babies while you are away on your trip. Let me take good care of your babies and give them someone who cares, wants to play and keep their mind of their owners while they are gone. Thanks for considering me :-) I am home most of the day every day so your fur baby will never be alone for too long at a time. I'm pretty flexible with times for drop ins as well. I have fenced yard that my dog loves to play in (more so, when he gets to have a buddy over) haha. Inside, dogs have full range inside the house and I let them on furniture. (If you are strict with your dog with getting on furniture, I will make sure he has the same set of rules at my place).

“Meghan was good with lenny this week. He enjoyed his walks and playtime.”

About: I was born into a family of animal lovers and have never known life without pets. Over the years, my family has cared for 15+ animals, including dogs, cats and other small pets giving me lifelong experience with animals of different ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs. Today, I help care for our two dogs and am the primary caregiver for our three cats, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and consistency that pets need to feel safe and happy. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, providing daily exercise, and making sure dogs receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, or simply enjoys having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently taking a gap year before starting school and am part time self-employed, so pet care is one of my main priorities. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and most holidays. I do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible and will always keep my availability up to date. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll carefully follow all of your instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications and any special care your pet may need. I’ll also make sure your home is respected by keeping things clean, secure and exactly as you left them. Since I have pets of my own, I currently only offer services in clients’ homes. This allows me to give your pet my full attention while keeping both your pets and mine comfortable and stress-free. I’ll always provide dependable care, plenty of affection and regular photo and text updates so that you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, so I pride myself on clear communication, reliability, and treating every pet as if they were my own.

About: Animals respond well to my calm, confident energy. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine, so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own—with love, respect, and lots of belly rubs! I’m available weekday mornings from 6:30 AM to 8:00 AM and evenings from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM—perfect for early walks, dinner visits, or bedtime check-ins. Weekends are fully open, so I can accommodate a wide range of pet care needs, including daytime visits, overnights, and extended stays. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, playtime, and medication instructions exactly as provided, and I make sure your pet gets plenty of love and attention!
