Dog Walking Forbush

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog loves long walks, hiking, playing fetch, or just relaxing with company, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. As someone who is very active, I enjoy giving high-energy dogs the exercise and attention they need, but I’m just as comfortable caring for senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I provide dependable drop-in visits, walks, overnight sitting, feeding, medication if needed, lots of affection, and regular photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I treat every dog like they’re my own because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I have a flexible work routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I enjoy staying active, so long walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime are some of my favorite parts of caring for dogs. I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I’ll treat them like family while respecting your home as if it were my own. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.

About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of pets since I was a kid. I’ve walked dogs for my neighbors, fed horses, goats and chickens for family friends, and pet sat many other dogs and cats. I work from home at night, so I will be able to be attentive all day. My husband works during the day from home as well, so there will always be a set of eyes on your pet! I have a fully fenced yard. We do have 3 dogs but all are very loving and have gotten along with any animal they have met. We have a spare room that we can use to keep them separated if necessary, otherwise your pet will have free roam and will be treated like family.

“Just a terrific all around pet care. She is very kind and super friendly with our senior puppy, who runs to the door wagging happily when she sees Eleanor come to visit. We couldn't be happier with the help she has given us, and I think you will be too.”

About: Growing up we have always had dogs and cats in the house, I couldn’t imagine not having each of them! We’ve had all different breeds and sizes that each lived 11-18 years, so I am used to taking care of old dogs and puppies. I’ve housesat/petsat for 7 different families over the years with dogs ranging from 8lbs to 210lbs!! I am currently a stay at home wife and I am working on school online. I have a lot of free time during the days my husband is at work. Mondays, tuesdays, wednesdays, and fridays 8am-6pm. I will care for the pets as if they were my own. I like to try and keep the known routine of the pet going which should be easy if I am coming into the home of the pet. Overall just loving and caring for the dogs or cats while their owner is away!

About: I have spent my whole life around dogs. From a young child to current day, I've always had a pet in my life. I have cared for outdoor dogs, indoor dogs, fish, and snakes. I've also cared for and been around most ages of dogs from 8 week puppies to elderly companions. I love spending time outdoors with them, sunshine, snow, pools, treks, mud, or wherever. My two kids are in school so I'll have plenty of time for your pet. My kids are comfortable around pets so even after school, I'm still available for care. I'm also available to board any day or night of the week. I'm close to parks and Pilot Mountain trails. I have plenty of backyard space for you pet to run and even a ramp entrance for pets with mobile difficulties. I have a backyard space for healthy walking/running. I have plenty of toys to keep your pet active and cushions for relaxing. I have a crate available if needed. I also have a dog of my own to keep your pet company. My dog is allowed on all the furniture in the house and yours is welcome to join in for cuddles.

“Natalie is great with our pup! She brings her doggies to walk with our little pug (with permission of course) and it’s a big bonus to for her to meet new friends and socialize further. Very flexible, reliable and accommodating! Would definitely recommend Natalie to other pet parents without hesitation.”

“Danielle took great care of my little Daisy! She came and walked her for 30mins for three days while I was at work. I would continue to request her for further puppy needs!!”

About: I have taken care of a variety of animals, my own and others included, since as far back as 8 years old. I've always enjoyed taking care of animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages and it makes my heart happy to see my kids following in those footsteps as they get older as well. I have a husband of almost 11 years, which will occasionally be helping with some of the pet care, and we have 2 kids (ages 4 and 9) so you know your animals will get plenty of cuddles and play time. We all enjoy and love your pets like our own! Our pets of our own include chickens which are all kept inside of a fenced in area. We live on roughly 3 acres of "unfenced land" at the end of our paved neighborhood road. Included in that are a few scenic trails through the woods on our property, so that means we have plenty of space for your fur babies to have some play time outside in the yard, and walks through the neighborhood/trails for exploration, exercise, and relaxation throughout the day! We are here with open arms ready to care for your sweet babies and willing to learn about each of their individual needs to make sure we make them and you feel comfortable and part of our family in the process! From boarding overnight, to drop-in visits when you can't be there, to random play visits/walking your fur babies, or even meeting/helping you with multiple animals' vet visits..... No matter the job or type of animal, give us a try and you won't be disappointed! We can't wait to hear from you and to make you part of the fam! I am a part time teacher/part time stay-at-home mom/wife so I have plenty of time to devote to your fur babies to make sure they get all the love, care, and attention they deserve for whatever the job you may need for them! Your pets are housed inside our home as one of the family. We have plenty of crates inside our house for individual sleeping spaces. We also use baby gates throughout the house to separate areas of our house so animals can be separated in their own spaces if and when needed. I always communicate quickly with clients and make sure to send lots of pictures to assure them of their pets experience and exceptional care with my family and I. I also provide each animal with an apple air tag just as a safety precaution when they are in my care for mine and my clients peace of mind.

About: My name is Kathy and I have cared for pets my entire life. As a child I walked the neighborhood pets until I had my own. Every opportunity I had I was around animals. As an adult I have managed boarding kennels, worked at a veterinary hospital, and have my own pet sitting company, In Your Absence. I am a recent graduate with a master of science in animal science. I have also completed my B.S. in animal science. I am happy to provide care for your loved ones when you are unable to be there with them. I provide walks, vet visit/groomer transportation, and medical administration, in addition to general care. I provide overnight in-home care as well as visits only. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog and animal lover my entire life! I have had numerous pets of my own over the years. We currently do not have any pets in our home but are looking to add a new family member within the next year. My experience administering medication I am completely comfortable administering any medication or performing any procedures that may be needed.

About: I have over 12 years of experience working in emergency veterinary medicine, where I cared for pets of all kinds and learned how to recognize their individual needs, behaviors, and signs that something may be wrong. After stepping away from the veterinary field to stay home with my children, I found a passion for providing a safe, loving, and comfortable home environment for pets while their families are away. My veterinary background gives me the confidence and knowledge to care for pets with different personalities, ages, medical needs, and routines. I have experience with dogs, cats, and many other types of animals, and I understand that every pet deserves patience, attention, and care tailored specifically to them. When pets stay with me, they become part of our family. I provide a clean, safe home, plenty of attention, playtime, and a large fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are loved and cared for while you’re away. * 🐾 ½ acre fenced play area * 🏡 Home environment (not a kennel) * 🐶 Small-group attention * 📸 Daily updates/photos * ❤️ Experienced pet care * 🐕 Social play (if appropriate) I currently only work as needed at the vet hospital and stay at home during the day so my schedule is very flexible most days. I have a 6ft vinyl fence in my back yard. I have 3 pups of my own that love anyone and everyone. Most pets that stay at my home are in kennels when we are away and or at night for safety but I do have a few that do better without a kennel and we accommodate that as well. I do have cameras set up so I can check in at any time if I’m away from home.

About: I have acquired a unique set of skills. I may not know who you are, or where you’re from. But I will find you. And I will take the best care of your animals!! Also please tell me you know what movie the first part is from. Free schrute bucks if so! I am currently a fourth year medical student. Just moved to the Chicago area to finish med school. My hours are random but short and flexible. Best part about being in my final year is that I can make my own schedule and majority of my days are spent at home studying. I have a fenced in back yard, living with another medical student so one of us is usually always home. There is another small dog in the house and she is older, but loves other animals and is very friendly. I can do leash walks or allow your animal out in your yard for some play time. Whatever is easiest for you and preferred.

About: I've been caring for animals for over 10 years and have always had a passion for pets. I have experience house-sitting, feeding, walking, cleaning up after, and caring for dogs and cats for neighbors, family, and friends. Growing up with pets has taught me that every animal is unique, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and attention I'd give my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm a graduate student completing my degree online while working about 30 hours a week in my internship. Outside of work and school, I spend most of my time with my family, my boyfriend, and at church on Wednesdays and Sundays. My schedule is generally flexible, and I do my best to accommodate pet owners' needs whenever possible. I often spend time accompanying the dogs with snuggles and a couple of hours of playtime a day. I provide food and water for the animals as instructed by the owner as each owner has a different approach. I often take dogs on one or two walks a day because exercise is extremely beneficial for pets.

“Lexie was so great with Brinkley. She spent a lot of time with her and gave her lots of attention. She was really accommodating with the specifics of walking her and even took her to Brinkleys favorite park! The cherry on top was that she brought a package inside for us, talk about going above and beyond. I would highly recommend using Lexie to care for you pups. Brinkley can’t wait to walk with Lexie again 🐶”

“Another wonderful walk for my little babe! Ashley sent me a picture and gave me regular up dates. So thankful she was able to walk my dog on such short notice! ”

About: I’ve been dog sitting on and off for a while now. I’ve used other dog sitting apps in the past and I’ve recently moved into a larger house to have plenty of room for your fur baby to have room to run and play. I will provide walks and play time everyday, and if you need baths or anything extra I will. I’m home 90% of the time so your fur baby will never really be alone. I can do dog boarding and/or drop in visits. I’m very flexible and if have a multiple day stay we can negotiate a better price for your babies. Available anytime I can meet for pick up and drops off do home visit or overnights in my house or yours I’m here for any of your needs Big yard we will go on a walk every afternoon at the park with my dog my kids will play fetch for hours never a dull moment

About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals from house pets to farm animals. I currently do Rover full-time, but have worked at a dog boarding/training facility and have worked with/handled dogs of all sizes and breeds. Although I have more experience around dogs I love cats just as much! I have no issues with certain breeds, ages, sizes, or handling medicine (so long as it is nothing a professional vet should handle). I can’t wait to watch and care for your fur babies! I pet-sit full time, giving me plenty of free time to walk, watch, and love your pets! My schedule is also very flexible making it easier to schedule based off your needs! I do have my own dog but unfortunately she is not friendly with other animals. Because of this I can only do daycare/overnight at clients own homes and walks/check-ins. I have plenty of personal and professional experience with aggressive animals and have no issues watching/walking aggressive dogs so long as both me and you are comfortable with it. With that being said it is important to me that any aggressive behavior whether with animals and/or people is told upfront and honestly as well meeting the dog ahead of time.

“I’m a travel nurse looking for a dog walker for my young pup Sully and Kelsey gladly accepted him. He took to Kelsey right away and had a great time with you. She sent me pictures of him as well which is always appreciated :) would definitely recommend and will be using her services again .”

I am a committed owner and have had experience in walking, feeding, and bathing my dogs! I am going to graduate school in September, so I have the summer off and am able to take care of your pet during the mornings and afternoons! I have plenty of free time! I would try to create a safe environment that allows your pet to be themselves! I would also try and ask questions upfront to see what kind of signs I should look for that they need to go outside or are upset! I will make sure to be very attentive with your pet!

About: I have prior experience in taking care of all different types of animals for many years. I have had puppies, kittens, rabbits, hamsters, smaller lizards, small and large animals, along with elderly dogs and cats.

I currently have open availability for whatever need may arise or for anything you may need I would care for your babies as I would for mine with all the love and attention they could possibly want. They would either be in a fenced in yard or on a leash for outside time and monitored while they are inside with plenty of snuggles and attention.
