Dog Walking Glendale Heights

About: I have owned a cat/cats, for over 40 years. I have cared for and loved them more than they know. I love having animals in my life. I am a retired veterinary technician so you have no worries. I’m a newer dog owner. Charley is only my second dog but I have been around dogs since I was a child. Once again I have vet tech experience so I can help you not worry while you’re away. I am a homemaker and have all the time in the world to love your babies. Please give me the opportunity to spoil your little ones. I feed my babies twice daily and love them all day. I would gladly do the same for you. My time is yours to utilize.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have had multiple rescue dogs from puppies to older dogs. I have taken care of family member dogs. I am recently retired from a career in medical imaging. I have a PhD in Physics and have worked in hospitals including patient care. I have always loved dogs and seem to have a special bond with them. Being retired, I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I will treat your pet as if it was my own. I do not currently have any pets of my own. I recently moved to this area and live in a townhome.

“I recently moved to the area and needed someone reliable and trustworthy to help care for my dog, and Amberley has been amazing! She is so friendly, caring, and attentive, and I love the updates she provides after her daily drop-ins. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands. I’m so happy I found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets!”

About: As a devoted dog owner who raised my pup from birth, I understand the love and attention every animal deserves. I know the anxiety that can come with leaving your pet in the care of a stranger, as I experienced my first time using Rover, but I can guarantee my Rover services offer a nurturing and safe environment where your furry friend will receive personalized care, exercise, and plenty of playtime. I have experience with potty training and obedience training as well. I am a part time college student, so I have plenty of free time in my schedule. In my free time, I love taking my dog to the dog park and long strolls around campus. I am available for house sitting, drop ins, walks, and more. I have a very sweet dog who would love to keep yours company if wanted! I also have a spacious house with plenty of room for play. If going to a client’s house, I would love to help feed, walk, and play with your pet. I can also crate your pet if needed. I have plenty experience with accidents and potty training so there’s no need to stress if your pet is not potty trained.

“Anna is great! Very communicative and responsive. Took great care of our dogs!”

“Took great care of my boy while I was out of town!”

“Our Frankie is a rescue and can be challenging to walk, but Elizabeth did an excellent job and clearly understands how to interact with a special needs dog.”

About: I have grown up with family dogs my entire life. I currently have my own GSP (unfortunately no longer a puppy) I am well versed in caring for puppies as well as senior dogs. I have experience caring for a dog post surgery, my lab had torn both her ACL’s. As well as a female dog in heat (I am used to diapers on dogs under 1). I am familiar with dogs with allergies and needing daily medication. I quite enjoy cats as long as they do not bite/scratch me. I have never owned one but do cat sit for friends/relatives when they leave town. I currently have plenty of free time. Starting in March I will not have as much availability, but if you book a weekly walk/drop in I will make sure to talk with you or adjust accordingly prior to the schedule change. I have a fully fenced in backyard and an 8 month old female GSP. I always start/end with bathroom breaks and then dump and refill water bowls. My dog loves to be chased and play tug of war, but I have had labs who only want to play fetch. Let me know what your pup enjoys the most!

About: I feel strongly about the human animal-bond and I believe your pets deserve the best care possible! My experience goes back to childhood since I've had cats and dogs my whole life. I've watched neighbors' and friends' pets while they were out of town and even watched a friend's horses while she was on vacation. I walked dogs at Anderson Animal Shelter (now Anderson Humane) as a kid. I worked for a pet sitting company for a little over a year in 2020. That year I also began school to become a certified veterinary technician. After two years taking classes full time and completing two externships I became a CVT. My schooling did include kennels- aka walking, cleaning up after and caring for the rescued dogs and cats we learned on (they were adopted out at the end of each semester). I also have helped with pets who were boarding at veterinary offices. I can do medical treatments on your fur baby if necessary. I am open to watching exotic pets. I have a huge admiration for spicy cats. I am your person for house sitting and drop in visits. I will be using Rover for part time work but I do have flexible availability! I have stepped away from full time work all together for the foreseeable future. I am a morning person and I would love to spend some time outside with your pup whatever the weather may be. I enjoy walking outside even in zero degree weather! I am happy to accommodate any routine you need for your fur babies. Greeting your pet is important, especially if I am new to them. I will give them food and water and clean dishes as advised by you. I will take them for a walk or outside to play and go potty depending on what they are up for. If you need pills or treatments or any kind to be administered I can absolutely do that. I will treat your pet, your home and belongings with the utmost respect and responsibility.

“We have been lucky enough to have Ashley multiple times and will continue to use her as our walker in the future. We also recently needed help with only a few hours notice and she swooped in and saved the day. 10/10 She is very communicative, my dog loves her and her commitment to getting good pictures of my guy is unmatched! It makes my heart happy knowing he is having fun and I know in good hands when I’m working.”

About: Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember, but English Bulldogs hold a special place in my heart. I trained and raised my own English Bulldog for 9 years, who grew into a special needs senior: blind in his later years and on multiple daily medications. Loving him through every stage taught me what bulldog parents already know: these dogs are one of a kind, and they need a sitter who understands them. Bulldogs aren't just low-maintenance couch potatoes, and I know the details that make the difference. I understand their stubbornness, heat sensitivities, and breathing issues. I stay on top of daily wrinkle cleaning and regular ear checks to prevent irritation and infections, and I'm happy to apply nose butter and follow your dog's grooming routine if needed. I also have the patience to work with a stubborn bulldog mood. Managing multiple daily medications and caring for a blind senior dog taught me to be organized, gentle, and attentive to any changes in routine, appetite, or behavior. My experience goes well beyond loving animals. I've worked at both a pet store and a local animal hospital, where I cared for a variety of animals, cleaned enclosures and kennels, maintained a sanitary environment, tracked food intake and behavior, and administered medications. Working alongside veterinary teams taught me to notice small changes and flag concerns early, so every animal in my care is safe, comfortable, and closely monitored. Don't have a bulldog? Don't worry! I've had years of experience caring for dogs of many breeds, plus cats, small animals, aquatic pets, and more, and I've provided trusted in-home pet care for neighbors and family members. Whether your pup is a personable bulldog like mine, or any other beloved companion, under my care they won't just be looked after. They'll be understood, loved, and treated like family. A recent Elmhurst University graduate, I currently have a flexible, full-time availability to dedicate to pet care, meaning your pets get my full attention and availability any day of the week. When I visit your home, my top priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and as stress-free as possible in their own environment. I know that unfamiliar faces can be an adjustment for some animals, so I always take a calm, patient approach and let your pet set the pace when it comes to warming up. During drop-ins, I'll follow your routines closely: feeding schedules, medications, behavioral notes, and any specific preferences you've set for your pet. I treat your home with the same respect and care I'd want shown in my own. Everything will be left exactly as I found it. For dog walks, I keep a close eye on body language and surroundings at all times, keeping walks safe and enjoyable. I'm experienced in handling dogs with different temperaments and energy levels, and I'll always make sure your pup is secure before heading out. I'm also happy to provide updates, photos, and notes after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing, because peace of mind for you is just as important as good care for them!

“Kim was super flexible with our schedule and so helpful with our pup! Looking forward to continuing to work with her”

“Great with my 🐕. Good communication, reliable and on time. I’d have her again in a heartbeat”

About: I’ve taken care of up to 4 dogs at a time. I have 6 years of experience. I have taken care of senior dogs, aggressive dogs, and easy dogs. I have always been a dog person and love taking care of them! I will make sure your animals feel loved and safe when you are away. I am currently taking a break from a full time job to take care of my mom who recently had a minor stroke. My schedule is pretty open, and I will be able to work around taking care of her. I have a fenced yard for my dog. He is aggressive and pulls on walks but we are working on it and I am capable of making sure he still gets out for walks, I am in shape so this makes it possible for me to do. As far as in my clients home, I make sure to meet with them first before showing up to dog sit. I find this to be helpful. Of course this isn’t required but I am open to that. My main goal is to make sure the pets are feeling safe and happy when their owners are away. I take safety very seriously. Examples include making sure they don’t get into anything, and that they are secured both on walks and outside in the yard. I have never had a situation with dogs having to go to vet or getting out.

About: I grew up with pets my whole childhood and since moving out, I’ve adopted a cat and a dog. I’m great with animals and I have watched the pets of my friends and family many times. I know pets tend to miss their owner when they’re away, so I try to give them as much attention as possible to make them comfortable and happy while also sending the owner updates on their furry friend. Because of my experience, I’m very comfortable with both large and small pets and enjoy taking them on walks, no matter the size! I went through obedience training with many of my animals so I know how to handle them in many situations and moods. I’m also a certified nursing assistant so poop and vomit don’t bother me and I have no problem cleaning it up! I’d love to watch any pet, especially yours :) I have two jobs but I tend to have more availability during the week than the weekend. I prefer to have at least a day’s notice so I can confirm my availability We have several pets so I’m more comfortable doing drop in visits rather than bringing animals into my home. I’m great when it comes to cleaning up after pets while still allowing them to play and get their energy out while you’re away

About: My attention to details and treating your fur babies the same way I’d treat mine. Pets are family and should be treated as such! Every pet deserves quality care. I am a new grad and am currently looking for something part-time while I wait for crediting for my current field. Needing more money while or after attending college is a given! Fenced yard with a current little doggo. He’s a smaller yorkie mix and can be shy with dogs first, after a while he does warm up and enjoy playing,

About: Dog owner since 2nd grade. As well as multiple dog experiences with all different types of dogs. Love taking care and having fun with them! I am currently a student at University of Illinois Chicago studying Integrated Health Science, Pre-Nursing. Although I have classes every week day, all of my classes end before 4pm which gives me a lot of time to spend with pets! I am able to do all the required task that has been asked. As well as being able to entertain the pet! I do have a car with clean driving experiences.
