Dog Walking Gilletts

“I used Annie for a few walks with my 2.5yr old lab and she was amazing! She took her for nice walks and even hung out with her in the yard, as my dog loves to sunbathe. Winnie can be hesitant with new people, but you can tell from the pictures she sent that she loved having Annie here! Thanks so much and will definitely be using her again! Highly recommended!”

“Kelly helped with walks for my 6.5 yr old Husky. She was communicative, responsible, on time and had broad knowledge of dog care and behaviors. Would not hesitate to have her walk or care for Blair anytime!”

About: I have experience giving a dog insulin. Friends have relied on me to take care of their pets for several days at a time at their house and I’ve hosted dogs before. I’ve had experiences with dogs ever since I was 9 years old. I currently have a medium sized, mix breed dog. I’m currently working part time and am an Occupational Therapy student. I’m pretty flexible and am willing to make things work to get your fur friend taken care of! :) I am willing to get to know your area and see what is best for you and your fur baby. I can do meet and greets before taking care of your fur baby.

“April was a life saver for my family. She is very dependable, friendly, timely and Riggins loves when she shows up for him!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since i was about 10. Neighbors and family have relied on me to take care of all their pets needs:) from days to a week i’ve always helped whoever needed some pet sitting. I help out and work at a barn 2 times a week and i have a pup, kitten and horse of my own that i take care of daily! I would love to meet your baby before coming into their home. some animals can be scared when it comes to new people so i would want the best experience for both you and your animal!

About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets throughout my life, from parakeets, hamsters, frogs to dogs and cats. Friends and family trust me to care for their pets and homes while they’re away in both city and suburban communities. I’m responsible, dependable, and treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. I currently work part time, so my schedule and availability are very flexible! Whether is squeezing in walks or check in’s, overnight care, or a mixture of both, I’m confident we can come up with a manageable care plan. I follow routine! I am accommodating. I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos. I also respect their home and keep everything clean and secure.

“Absolutely amazing! Katherine not only booked on short notice (I was freaking out because our normal walker had to cancel last minute!) She was personable, went above and beyond and most importantly to me, Cookie loved her! It’s always scary leaving our pets home for trips etc. Katherine will put you at ease. Thanks again!!!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of professional experience working with dogs in veterinary clinics, doggie daycares, and grooming salons. Dogs have always been one of my greatest passions. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality, whether they're a goofy puppy, an energetic adventure buddy, a shy rescue, or a senior who prefers a slower pace. One of my favorite parts of this work is building trust with dogs and watching them become excited to see me. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. My goal is to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. Whether your dog enjoys a structured walk, extra sniffing time, playtime, or simply companionship during the day, I'll tailor my care to their individual needs. When your dog is with me, they're not just another appointment on my schedule—they're a member of the family. My most recent job with dogs was at a daycare for several years. I supervised dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. This experience gave me extensive knowledge of canine body language, play styles, and behavior. I learned how to safely manage group interactions, recognize early signs of tension, and help dogs remain comfortable and successful in social environments. In my free time, you'll usually find me out walking with my own dogs, taking my kids to their activities, discovering new music, or learning about native plants and wildlife! My current schedule includes dog walking, volunteering at an animal shelter, and taking care of my two wonderful sons. Thursdays are a busy day with activities with them so those days are currently closed for my schedule. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and some Fridays are available to book. I am comfortable with whatever instructions you give me and what your preferences are whether it be letting them out in your yard, sitting down and hanging out with them, letting them sniff around, or taking them for a more structured walk.

About: I used to be a farm manager and not only took care of domestic pets, but livestock too! I know everyone says that animals love THEM the most, but pets are really drawn to me. I think it’s because I have a deep reverence for them and their ability to so easily love people unconditionally. I also respect their boundaries because I understand that they cannot communicate as easily as we do. I am currently unemployed and going to school part time so my schedule is very open right now! I enjoy nature, even when weather is inclement, and will be there rain or shine. I will follow whatever instructions you have for your pet! No matter how detailed. I would care for your pet in the same manner I care for my own, which is obsessively. As a former anxious pet owner (sometimes I still am), I will provide photos and updates whenever I am with them. I also respect your privacy, as I know allowing someone into your home can be intimidating.

About: My husband and I own a dog grooming salon, in Orland park, which was owned by his family and has been in business for over 25 years. We have American Red Cross CPR class, for dogs, two times a year at our dog grooming salon. All dogs must be potty trained to go outside. Puppy pad trained dogs are not accepted. Diapers on dogs are not accepted. Thank you for considering us to care for your fur baby while your away. One of us stays in your home with your fur babies over night. We do have to go to work during the day. We do our best to try to keep your pet’s routine the same. We care for the client’s dogs in their home and follow whatever instructions we are given. It is up to the client on what they would like us to do.

About: 👋 I’m Leah, also known as Busy Bee All Animal Sitting Services. 🐝 While you're busy, I keep your pets happy and healthy. Pet sitting is my full-time job and I’m licensed, insured and bonded, and certified with 2 pet professional associations. Check out my Facebook at Busy Bee All Animal Sitting Services for more info. I’ve worked professionally with pets of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I have experience with dogs, cats, and exotics - rabbits, rodents, turtles/tortoises, etc. - there is not one I do not love! All pets are awesome and deserve only the best. I'm available 24/7 and in case of emergencies. My schedule is highly flexible. I've even taken care of animals as owners went into labor. If you become a client of mine, you will be notified months in advance if I ever need to go out of town. I provide in your home visits for all animals and dog walks. I do have pets of my own but I am open to discussing overnight visits or short in my home stays for repeat clients. I practice safe handling and walking techniques. I can feed, clean, play and snuggle, and safely administer medication as requested. I provide care just as you would. The animals are what keep me going and I take my work very seriously. It is of utmost importance to me to first have a meet and greet to understand all about your pets and how I will be providing the best services I can. Safety is my number one priority. In the event of a question or a concern during visits, you will always be notified immediately. I pet sit because providing for animals is not only my passion but my lifelong profession. I am in it for the long haul and want to be there for you and your best friends.

About: I have an extensive history working and volunteering in the animal field. I’m currently an Animal Control Officer for a municipality. Thank you for giving me the amazing opportunity of caring for your dog or cat because I know they are one of the family. I currently am a senior in college in Bourbonnais and I also work weekends at a doggie daycare. I love spending time with all animals. I will provide whatever care you as an owner instruct me too, but of course I look forward to giving your pet lots of love

About: I’ve have experience taking care of my own four dogs at home, as well as my family/friends’. Additionally, I have volunteered at multiple dog shelters. I am currently working part-time at Spirit Halloween while I wait to be shipped off to the Air Force national guard. My schedule is flexible! I make sure to take them for frequent walks, groom them often, and ensure they are not in the cage for hours at a time.

About: Natural born dog whisperer. Wanted a Pit bull ended up with a Chihuahua. I truly believe Cuco, my dog, was my animal soulmate. Although he has since passed, I loved caring for him full time and now hope to have the opportunity to care for your pup part time. I am a patient walker — even if that means infinite stops to sniff stuff. Will always speak to them as I would to a human child. Plus, no human children in household only your pet child. Can help with potty training and social/public anxiety relief. Guaranteed good belly rubs, affection, and fresh bowl of water/food at all times under my care. I’d be thrilled to take very photogenic pictures of them and send them your way along with updates. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any additional questions and/or concerns. I am a remote employee and am home 100% of the time with your pet. Pups are welcomed to join me for a day of work, enjoy window views (bark at delivery drivers) and take all the naps desired. Sliding door for them to look outside while inside. Indoor cameras to keep an eye on pup if up to trouble from my office. Designated space in the living room, kitchen, office, and loft for them. This is our home, and we hope to make your pup feel right at home too—pups are allowed on all furniture (couches, human beds). My partner Martin also lives here—he’s a very loving caretaker of dogs and often helps keep them busy on weekends or when he’s not at work.

About: Hi, I’m Mia! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years through dog walking, pet sitting, and daily care. I truly believe every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m located in the South Suburbs of Chicago and proudly serve dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, and administering medications when needed. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide reliable walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, companionship, and personalized care based on your pet’s routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, learning new skills, or simply relaxing with company, I’m happy to tailor my care to what makes them happiest. Safety, patience, and communication are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets active and engaged, and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and my goal is simple: to make sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, loved, and stress free in their own environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I have a flexible schedule. This allows me to plan my day around walks, drop in visits, feeding times, and playtime so each pet receives consistent attention and care throughout the day or week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain their normal routine. This includes feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, cleaning up after pets, refreshing water, and keeping their environment safe, clean, and comfortable. I also make sure doors and leashes are secured and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior to ensure they are safe and relaxed while their owner is away.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages for more than 9 years, pets of my neighbors, friends and my own pets, I consider that they need the best care in the world as they give everything for us being our companions on this journey that is life, talking a little about my experience, I have taken care of small and large pets to bathe and feed them and walk them, I have training in the face of any altercation on the street. Being something that I like to do since before coming to this country is something that I want to dedicate myself to for an indeterminate time. I have a fenced yard and at the moment I don't have small children, so all the attention will be focused on pets for as long as they need it.

About: Dog lover all my life! Would love to meet more and ease your worries while apart from your babies. Please let me know how I can assist I’m not currently working at the moment and would be available for care any day of the week. Can offer many hugs and smiles with many pets. I will be able to come to you and or travel to dog parks near your neighborhood to care for your pups. Walk around the block?? No problem! I got you:)

“Maraid did a wonderful job with my puppy Reggie. She played with him in the backyard and took him for a walk and spent a nice hour with him so that I could go to work and not leave him in a crate all day! I felt very comfortable with Maraid! She’s fantastic!!”

About: I worked in an animal hospital for a couple of years. I have watched furbabies (cats and dogs) of family and friends for many years and even have office dogs at my job! I am mainly available during the weekends but can occasionally do evenings during the weekdays after my full time job. I work from home during Fridays so I am fully available then too. I would prefer to pet sit in an environment that your furbaby is already familiar with aka your home! I’d also be happy to take them (dogs) to a park or trail for them to explore as I love taking long walks.

“Anna walked our dog several times a week over 3 weeks in January while my spouse was out of town and I at work. She was always right on time and took great care of our little girl - putting her jacket on (frigid cold weather they both endured!), wiping her paws, giving her treats - and always ensured the house was secure when she left. I'm so happy that I have a go-to person we can count on! Thanks Anna!!”
