Dog Walking in Garfield Ridge, Chicago

“Jessica's has been great with Angie! Angie is not always the quickest to warm up, but Jessica has made it easy to transition her weekly walks. She's reliable, very friendly, and clearly loves our dog! I can't recommend Jessica more.”

About: I have loved pets since I was a kid. I was obsessed with learning about them. After my first pet died, I was very motivated on learning about how to offer pets the very best life, and this comes through research! I have worked with a variety of animals. Working at PetSmart allowed me to get a better hands on experience as it opened a door to working with cats, sick animals who needed medication, and working with large numbers of pets. This also helped me see what methods worked and what methods to avoid when taking care of our beloved pets. I have a very flexible schedule and will be available for you and your pets. I don’t have a set schedule yet due to work and school. Safety is my top priority. You know your pet best, I will work with what I have and incorporate new techniques and ideas once your pet trusts me. I have a porch that is safe meanwhile my garage is being built at the moment.

About: What sets me apart? I’m not just a pet sitter—I’m a pet’s personal playmate and snuggle expert! From teaching puppies their first tricks, I also have a gentle touch with senior pets, providing extra comfort , I make sure your fur babies feel special. Whether it's playtime, cuddle time, or just a stroll around the block, I tailor each visit to match their vibe and needs, ensuring they’re always happy and cared for. As a college student, I’ve learned how to manage my time efficiently, and pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize flexibility, offering tailored care to fit your pet’s schedule—whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles. Between classes, I make sure to provide consistent attention, ensuring each pet gets the exercise, training, and affection they need. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior needing extra comfort, I’m committed to giving your pets the love and care they deserve while balancing my academic responsibilities. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable space that’s pet-friendly and free of hazards. I ensure plenty of room for play, rest, and exploration while keeping things routine and familiar. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their pet’s usual routines as closely as possible, maintaining feeding schedules, walking routes, and playtimes. I also take extra care to respect the home environment, keeping things tidy and secure. Whether at my place or yours, my goal is always to create a stress-free, loving environment for your pets to feel safe and happy.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes. I’ve even had a problem dog before, although not the most extreme case. I spend a lot of my free time walking around the city with or without a dog. I have an open schedule. I wake up at 9am every day. I can stay up late into the night if that is needed for your dog. I have a small apartment with a metal gate. For the first year in my life, I currently have no dog of my own. I have no other pets. I don’t own a crate currently, but I would purchase one if it was asked of me. I could also purchase any other required resources for your dog, within reason.

About: I've dealt with animals of all sorts. From Leopard Geckos to Labrador Retrievers! I've loved animals all my life. I currently own a Bearded Dragon (reptile), a Pitbull mix, and a Lab mix. I've always been obsessed with learning all I can about animals. I love learning about the personalities of all the dogs, cats, and reptiles I've met! I'm sure I will love your pets as much as you do! I'm currently a college student, I use the time I have between classes to stop in and provide potty breaks, snack times, or administer meds! I know quite a bit on doggie body language, and will be sure to read your pet and give them what they need! I love animals and respect them deeply. I am very caring toward all animals I meet, and very flexible to the needs of your pet!

About: I’ve taken care of my family members pets throughout the years whenever they would go on vacation. I live in a home with a secure fence, spacious backyard, and plenty of space inside the house as well. I have training with puppies, older dogs, cats of different breeds and ages. I feel fully capable to take care of your pets as if they were my own. I’m a full time student, I go on campus on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the rest of the week I do remote work at home. I’m available anytime throughout the week except for Tuesdays and Thursdays. I take care of dogs in my home by having them stay inside except for the regular bathroom breaks outside. In the case of cats, I would have them inside and I have a kitty litter box for them inside as well which I would regularly clean. In the summer time I would take the pets outside more however as of right now it is cold outside which is why I would try to have them mostly inside.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 4 years, caring for dogs of all sizes and ages—from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs needing medication and extra love. As a hybrid graduate student, my flexible schedule allows me to be available during the times most pet owners are busy with work or school commitments. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always make sure your fur baby is safe, comfortable, and treated with love. I welcome and follow all routines, care notes, or “love manuals” for feeding, walking, medications, and more. I also love sending photo updates to share completed walks, daily moments, and any other services, so you always feel connected and assured.

About: I’m sure all sitters say this but I genuinely have a seat for being with animals. Sometimes I prefer them over people and treat them like they’re my own. I love all of their personalities and quirks. Anywhere I go I ask to pet someone’s dog and respect what the dog’s body language is telling me. I have a Siberian husky so I have had to learn how to read body language and potential environmental stressors very well. I invest a generous amount of time into learning about dog breeds and am always opening to learning more! Currently, I am home for the summer and have been unable to get traditional employment due to a surgery in May. The surgery wasn’t serious but it required time off that traditional jobs wouldn’t offer. I have a car and have no problem going to and from the home. We have two levels in our home and would be able to offer separation from my dog. I have a yard with 4 friendly neighbor dogs and 2 parks within walking distance. Additionally, one of the parks offers a dog park.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last 8 years. Over the years I’ve cared for puppies including litters, elderly dogs with health issues such as seizures, blindness, and being deaf. I’m currently working part time which allows me to watch your pup with a flexible schedule. I have open availability for dog sitting between the hours of 7am-6pm. I can keep your fur baby engaged and out of trouble with playing, enrichment activities and walks! With skills on how to redirect the dog.

About: I have two fur babies of my own that are Golden mixes and siblings. Elvis is the more active scaredy cat if you will while Priscilla loves to swim but is a huge couch potato otherwise. I also have grown up around dogs and collectively within my immediate family we own 11 dogs total of all shapes and sizes! Don't worry, they don't all live together, but they do go on play dates. That being said, I am comfortable with feeding, walking, and playtime as well as delivering medicine your pup may need. In addition, I am comfortable with watching a dog who may have separation anxiety and need full time supervision. Other animals I have taken care of are rabbits, hamsters, and fish. Being a fur mama myself, I know it can be nerve-wracking trusting someone with your baby, however, I will love your fur baby like my own! No need to ask about cuddles, belly rubs, and playtime, those are complimentary! I currently have a semi-flexible schedule to meet your pet's needs! I teach during the day (8-3:20) but am available before or after work on weekdays. I am usually free on the weekends though and update my calendar often. Your pets are my priority so I will make sure to be communicative about my schedule in advance. I like to make sure I follow the pet's routine and I make sure to give them extra love as I am sure they miss their parents! For dog walking, I will ask you about your pet's favorite walking path or generally what they like to do on walks. For dog sitting, lots of playtime will occur!

About: I have taken care of animals since I was little. I grew up around ranches. Family, and friends relied on me to watch and care for their pets as they know that I want to become a veterinary doctor some day. I’m currently going to do part time as I work full time at an animal hospital but I can do afternoons About 3 pm till 7 I have a fenced yard. And one dog who enjoys running around and play with the neighbors dog. During the summer I put in a pool for my dog to have when he gets hot.
