Dog Walking Fox Valley

“Did a great job walking my dog and was very quick to respond.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old,I've also taken care of special needs dogs and other animals as I am an animal lover. I am actually majoring in animal biology and veterinary medicine so that I can become a veterinarian. I was president of my animal club all through high school where I would set up and host adoption events, set up volunteer days at the human society and other animal shelters. There were even days I would set aside to make treats, toys and blankets for shelter dogs and other animals. I am usually free 24/7 so I'll have a bunch of free time to play and love on your fur babies, especially if they have a lot of energy and need to burn it off and run around. I do not start school until the fall but even then it is online so I will still have plenty of time to give them all my attention. I can easily crate your pup if need be and I also have doggy gates so they won't be able to run out of the door. I always have treats and toys on me and I stay by a dog friendly park to keep your dog occupied and engaging in some sort activity.

“Glen was available very last minute to walk our pup. He responded quickly to messages, came at the right time, and sent a photo and an update after the walk. I’d recommend Glen and would book again!”

“Valerie is an amazing and reliable dog walk walker and sitter. One of our pups had gotten sick when she checked on them, and she was comminucative and went above and beyond. I look forward to working with her again! Highly recommend!”

“Bonnie provided the most genuine and compassionate care while I was out of town. From the very start, I felt very comfortable w/ her caring for my dog and she was excellent communicating with me throughout the entire time.”

“Jackson I 10/10 recommend!! I will be scheduling with him again in the future! As a new user on here I was very skeptical with all of this. I have a big pup who is very hyper-active. He was amazing and very professional with all aspects. From the communication, reassurance, and detailed plan (he will provide). I felt so much better about this process! I know my dog can be a lot for other people but he was a champ!! Thank you so much again! For taking care of my baby as your own✨✨✨✨🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼”

About: From a young age, I’ve been surrounded by furry friends and have always adored them. My four-legged companions have included a German Shepherd, a Newfoundland, a Poodle, Staffordshire Terrier and 2 rescue cats. After many moves, and in my first year living in America, we adopted a Havanese-Bichon mix, and it has been the best decision ever! To me, dogs are an endless source of joy. They are the most loyal and loving creatures on the planet! I love playing with them, teaching them new tricks, going for walks, watching them, and giving them lots of cuddles. A walk with a dog fills me with energy and positive emotions. I love them, and they feel it and love me back. When it comes to cats, I understand that cats choose you, not the other way around. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, providing respectful care that helps cats feel safe, relaxed, and at home. You can trust that your furry friends will be safe and surrounded by love when they are with me, whether it’s for a walk, feeding, or just spending time together. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that I set myself. I’m generally available to come feed and walk the fluffies from early morning until late evening. I offer in-home pet care services. I can come to walk, feed, or stay with your dog or cat at your home from early morning till late evening.

About: My family raised Rottweilers growing up at a young age. I eventually had my own American bulldog during college and frequently watch my friend's English Mastiff. I have a unique schedule in which I typically only work every third day, so days off I am more than able to take care of your dog! From long walks to all the cuddles, let me make sure your furry friend is taken care of! I work every third day for 24 hours, so on my days off I am more than able to help pet sit or walk your dog throughout the entire time I am off. I am typically available even on short notice as long as it is a day I am not scheduled to work. I have a large townhouse with plenty of nearby walking trails and forest preserves, as well as a very large sectional for cuddles! Whatever your pet prefers, I can accommodate. From playing with their toys to getting extra treats, your dog will be loved just as if they were my own.

“I was so happy Laura could help me out on short notice with walking my dog while I was sick, she bonded immediately with my dog who could be apprehensive with new people!”

About: I’ve handled pets of my own and have provided at home care for friends or family members my whole life. When needed I’ve boarded animals at my own home for friends or family. There’s nothing like a good break with furry friends that helps the day go by. Currently I have a flexible scheduled and enjoy the opportunity. I always make sure that animals are given loving attention. It’s important that they are provided with the bathroom, sleeping and toy accommodations they deserve and the exercise they need. I understand the need for routine.

About: I am passionate about animal husbandry. I have had extensive training in the care of dogs, horses, cats, small mammals, fish and birds. I've an associate's degree in equine science (horses). I've had hands on experience since I was 9 years old handling horses and dogs/cats plus any other precious critter I could care for. I know dog breeds, and cat breeds and the ingrained traits they are born with. I've had bite prevention training and have had the privilege of working with so many wonderful breeds! It's becoming hard to even have a favorite breed when they are all so fascinating in there own way..meaning I love them all big or small!

I'm flexible to the situation and the homeowners comfort level and needs. Playtime and exercise are big in my home. I regularly clean up after my pets and have no problem cleaning messes.

About: Hi! I’m Megan, a trail-loving mom and lifelong animal lover who finds any excuse to be outside, especially when the leaves start changing and the crisp fall air rolls in. I’ve grown up with pets, from cuddly cats to an energetic Siberian Husky who taught me all about patience, play, and the importance of a good walk! These days, I volunteer at local animal shelters and love providing thoughtful, attentive care to both dogs and cats. I know fall adventures look different for every pet, so I’m happy to adjust to their needs. Whether that means a leisurely walk through the colorful leaves, some extra playtime in the backyard, enrichment time indoors where it's cozy and comfortable, or simply some companionship while you're away, your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, a crisp fall walk, or some quality one-on-one attention, I treat every pet like family. I believe in clear communication, dependable care, and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to give them a fun, enriching experience while helping you enjoy peace of mind. I'm looking forward to making this fall full of happy walks, colorful adventures, wagging tails, and plenty of cozy memories!

I provide calm, loving care in your pet’s own space, keeping their routine and comfort top priority. Whether it's playtime, feedings, walks, or just quiet company, I make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and well-loved while you're away. 🧽 I also understand that accidents can happen, simple potty cleanups during a visit are always included. For larger messes that require extra time, I offer optional cleanup services: $10 Basic Cleanup: Removing soiled bedding, wiping up big pieces or puddles, and getting your pet set up with fresh bedding. $25 Deep Clean: More involved cleaning when there’s a substantial mess that needs extra time and care. These options help me keep your pet clean and comfortable while also staying on schedule for all my visits.
