Dog Walking Hanover Park

About: My childhood was full of dogs and, since I was about 10 years old, I’ve taken care of various pets of family members, friends and neighbors consistently. I’m patient, enthusiastic, empathetic, and very reliable when it comes to caring for your dog or cat’s physical and emotional wellbeing! I’m am available for check-ins and walks throughout the week and weekends when given reasonable notice. I can also do check-ins and housesitting on the weekends. I can care for your pet in your home however you need me too! Whether you crate them or let them roam in the yard, I am a quick learner and will easily communicate with you about their needs should they arise!

About: I know how to make dogs comfortable and make them feel like they’re being taken care of well. Lots of treats they get from me I am free to watch dogs a lot during each day of the week. Any time of the day works for me as well to watch them I have a fenced in yard. I keep my basement closed so no dogs can go down there. Mostly on the main floor with me.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been caring for dogs since I was around 10 years old. I grew up with dogs, helped train my family’s pups, and have been the go-to dog sitter for family and friends for years. I’m comfortable with walks, baths, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, or a little goofy, I’ll treat them like they’re my own :) I’m currently an online graduate student, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available by request in the mornings, afternoons, and on weekends. Unfortunately, at this time I am not available for overnight care. Other than that, let me know how I can best help you! I always aim to make them feel as comfortable, safe, and loved as possible. I’m very adaptable and I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs. Before any booking, I like to ask a few questions about your pet’s habits, personality, and preferences so I can provide the best care tailored specifically to them. I follow feeding, walking, and medication routines closely and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. If I’m in your home, I also respect your space and keep things clean and consistent for your pet so they feel secure in their familiar environment.

“Sandra was wonderful! I have 3 big dogs and they love her. She was always on time and so flexible when I needed. Great communication! I get nervous having someone take my dogs because they can be a handful sometimes but she was great with them. We will be using her more often!”

About: Hi, I'm Kayci! I have been rescuing animals since I was a kid. I have experience with everything from abandoned newborns to elderly pets. I am familiar with medicine administration, light therapy, bathing, etc,. I am happy to walk, play with, board or even take your fuzzy/furry to their vet visits. Any questions or special requests, just let me know! While I love all animals, I do not accept reptiles or eight-legged babies! Sorry! My availability is pretty flexible, as I'm a real estate agent who works from a home office. I am willing to work with those looking for long term care, as well as one-time visits.

About: I only had family cats growing up, but when my 12-year-old daughter had a big loss in her life, I gave her a Yorkie puppy. Of course, I knew nothing but how to love that puppy, so I had to learn quickly. Yes, I learned about crating...and also not crating. I've learned that dog training is mostly about "training" the owner. And I've learned how you can be firm and serious...but not mean. Like...being a parent. I've watched enough dogs that when they stay or visit, my home's been named deemed a doggie camp. I've had senior dogs on medication or needing more sedate care, and crazy puppies who get the right things to chew. And for walks, we have a great neighborhood with sidewalks. While this is all "puppy" news, yes, I definitely know how to care for cats too. I believe cats need play and music or active noise usually as well - except at bed time. No animal wants to feel alone...and they never do with me. I usually work from home and manage my schedule, so periodic check-ins during the work days isn't difficult. I don't often travel, so evenings, weekends and home care is relatively simple within my schedule. Pets in my client's homes get a regular schedule for meals, wake time, and bed time. They get a balance of play time, brushing,...and snuggles. For dogs, they get walks and play - inside and out. When an owner is not around, animals are a little sadder, so I work to help minimize that sadness...and given them comfort and company.

About: I’ve lived with (and loved) cats and pups my whole life! I am happy to take care of your pet and show them as much love as you do! I am very flexible in terms of what support and care I can provide for your furry friend. I’d love to set up a Meet and Greet to get to know them. :) Compassion, love and patience are my go-to methods of care. I will be as thorough as possible in providing ongoing care to your pet. They are just as important to me as they are to you!

About: I love animals and have had many ranging from cats and dogs to lizards and horses. My parents always made sure I was responsible for my own animals and now I am the owner of 2 cats. I had a dog growing up that I helped train as well as helping my dad out on his farm with his dogs and all the other animals. I raised one of my cats since she was a kitten and she was not the first kitten I had taken care of so I do have experience with young animals. One of my cats is also now on the older side so I do have experience administering medicine to animals and taking care of senior pets. I have also had to give medicine and take care of a bearded dragon for an extended amount of time before. I'm currently a student and work part time however I do have quite a good amount of free time that I am able to dedicate to taking care of your pets, especially during my breaks when I will be free all the time:) I will follow whatever instructions I am given regarding pet care and will treat your pet and home with as much care as if were my own:)

About: I've taken care of and had dogs ever since I was 8 years old. I recently relocated to Chicago and lost my dog a little over a year ago at age 12 to natural causes. I'm very active into sports and take many walks daily. Throughout the year I like to foster dogs to help rescues with adoptions. I like to do a morning long walk 20 minutes or more before I go to work. Depending on what is needed for pet care, I have a pretty flexible schedule to do more than one potty break. After work I also like to do another evening walk if time allows and just to settle down for the night. I have a friendly dog community and do not mind walking multiple times to expend energy. The house is also very spacious for relaxation. If you allow furniture sleeping so do I. I'm flexible to what my clients would want from my in home stays. If I come to your house, naturally I would follow guidelines that your pet is typically used to.

“Gabriela was our life saver! She went above and beyond to help Ivy when I was not able to care for her myself. Our request was last minute but she understood the urgency and truly cared for our baby during a vulnerable time. Thank you Gabriela!”

About: Hi, I’m Abi! Animals have always been an important part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for a variety of pets through my own animals, as well as providing pet care for other families. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is always to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and routines. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, enrichment, or simply someone patient to keep them company, I take the time to get to know their individual needs and personality. I know every animal is different, and I always do my best to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I’m currently a nursing student, which has strengthened qualities that I also bring into pet care: patience, attention to detail, responsibility, and compassion. I’m comfortable following specific instructions, keeping up with schedules, and communicating clearly. You can always expect updates and plenty of pictures, so you know your pet is happy and cared for. At home, I have my own rescue cat, Venus, who constantly reminds me how special the bond between people and their pets can be. I know pets are family, and I treat every animal I care for with the same kindness and attention I would want for my own. As a nursing student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time throughout the week to providing quality pet care. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to and is the perfect balance to my busy school routine.

I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment for every pet in my care, whether in my home or a client’s home. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding routines, medication schedules, exercise needs, and any specific preferences your pet may have. Building trust is very important to me, so I take the time to be patient, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s comfort level. I maintain a clean and secure space, ensuring there are no hazards and that pets feel relaxed and at ease. Sticking to a consistent routine helps pets feel safe and reduces stress, so I make sure to follow their usual schedule as closely as possible. My goal is to provide a loving, dependable environment where your pet feels cared for, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
