Dog Walking Fox Valley

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

“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✨✨✨✨🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼”

“Jennifer is amazing with our dogs and really helped us out when we needed her. Animals clearly love and feel comfortable with her; even my chihuahuah who hates everyone comes up to her. Will be using Jennifer again and again. Thanks so much for taking good care of our girls”

“Summer is amazing! Very happy with her customer communication & care for my fur baby! Very prompt in all updates with her walks. I feel very comfortable with my dog in her care.”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and set of needs, and I take the time to get to know them and make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. There is a stay at home parent who can provide daily care for your pet. And a family who will be there to provide plenty of attention and love. We have a large yard with plenty of trees and a spacious home for your pet to explore. Your preference of crate or bed or couch is ok with us.

“Kim is amazing and so great to work with!! She has helped immensely with taking care of my German shepherd while I am working long shifts!! She’s very genuine, easy to communicate with and responds quickly, and is great with big dogs! Highly recommend her!”

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.

“Mei Li walked my dog, Sadie, for 30 minutes around our neighborhood. Sadie can pull on the leash and sometimes eat things off the ground, but Mei Li did a great job making sure Sadie was on her best behavior and didn’t get into anything she shouldn’t have. Sadie came back tired from a long walk, and was happy to interact with Mei Li before she left. Sadie will definitely be asking for Mei Li to take her on more walks!”

About: Hi, I’m Katie! As a lifelong pet owner with professional experience working in a doggie daycare and boarding facility, I know that no two pets are exactly alike. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk, a slow sniff-and-stroll, or your cat needs some quiet, attentive companionship during a drop-in visit, I customize every single visit to match your pet's unique routine and personality. My time in professional doggie daycare taught me how to read animal body language accurately, manage different temperaments, and anticipate a pet's needs before a problem arises. Because of this background, safety is my absolute top priority. I am incredibly strict about secure leashing, environmental awareness during walks, and maintaining a calm, controlled environment. I treat every dog and cat in my care with the same patience, love, and vigilance as I do my own. I look forward to learning all about your pet's specific preferences, favorite quirks, and care rules so I can provide the exact experience they need to feel happy and safe! I work entirely from home, which means my schedule is highly flexible. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, allowing me to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. When staying or visiting your home, my priority is maintaining your pet's familiar environment and daily routine to minimize stress. I double-check that all doors, windows, and gates are locked securely before and after walks. I treat your home with the utmost respect, keep food and medications safely out of reach, and provide regular photo updates so you know your pet is safe and happy.

“Rufus really enjoys Erin and we appreciate her. She is always on time and takes great care of Rufus!!”

“Zhiyang was great. She followed all very specific directions for my young puppy’s schedule. You can tell she really loves animals with her care and playfulness. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”

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.

About: I have over 3 years of professional experience in working with animals, and i’ve watched family and friends pets for as long as I can remember! I work a full time job at an animal hospital so my schedule can vary, I’m always open to discuss scheduling and time details further depending on the needs of the animal and client! I have one cat at home, my family and I rescued him from a shelter! We aren’t sure how he would do with other animals so it’s just him and he loves it! I will only be offering in home service for clients.

“Emily is reliable, flexible, responsive to messages, provides great communication and very detailed reports on all of her walks with our fur baby. She is an all around great find and we are happy to have her as our dog walker.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for many years and am comfortable caring for dogs of different breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I treat every pet like I would my own and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection while you’re away. I’m available for pet care around my nursing schedule, which varies from week to week. Since my workdays change, my availability can be flexible, and I’m happy to coordinate with you in advance to find days and times that work best for your pet’s routine and needs. Caring for your pet in their own home allows them to stay relaxed and stress-free. I strictly follow your instructions to maintain their routine and comfort. Safety is always my priority — I ensure doors and gates are secured and that your pet is never left unattended. I pay close attention to their needs and mood, providing gentle care and companionship. You can trust me to treat your home and pet with the utmost respect and care while you’re away.

About: I strive to cater to each pet's specific needs while providing a reliable service. Over the years, I have cared for dogs of all sizes, reptiles, rabbits, and cats. I've had success with training dogs not to pull when being walked, but I am currently not an accredited trainer. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am normally available on weekdays in the morning and afternoon. I am open to offering my services outside of those hours on a case by case basis, pending availability. I am happy to go over any guidelines regarding pet care, house/yard access, and pet activities during a meet a greet prior to the first visit. I'm a big believer of talking to pets, walking them as much as needed, playing with them, and challenging them mentally. When possible I prefer to walk dogs in a park or on a nature path instead of in a concrete jungle.
