Dog Walking in Hegewisch, Chicago, IL

About: Hello - I’m Rick! I've lived with dogs all my life, and had a cat when I was a teenager. My girlfriend, Cristina, and I are passionate about pets and animal advocacy — we have fostered eight dogs a various ages and breeds through a local animal shelter. We've provided lots of care and training to help them prepare for their forever home and are familiar with administering medications to pets as needed. We live in a house with a fenced backyard and we are two blocks from a state park where we spend lots of time walking and enjoying nature with our pets. We’re excited to meet you and your pet(s) and provide the individualized care, comfort, and peace of mind every pet parent seeks!! For the safety of our pets and those we are caring for dogs we host, we highly prefer for the dogs to be crate trained but we can discuss if they are not. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! My girlfriend works from home during the day and I work night shift so someone is usually always home. Our schedules are flexible and we are usually able to accommodate special requests - don't hesitate to reach out! Our house has a fenced backyard and our guests are free to roam upstairs or we section off our living room area if they prefer to have their own space and couches to lounge on. We can offer crates for small to medium size dogs if your pet is more comfortable sleeping in a crate. We’re happy to accommodate special requests to ensure the comfort of your pet! For new clients, our meet and greets typically last about 15 minutes, and we can have your dog(s) explore the backyard or go on a group walk together. We are privately insured through Pet Care Insurance (PCI), in addition to the Rover Guarantee, so your pups are well covered!

About: After loving and caring for my dog of 12 years, Fuzzy Wuzzy, I decided to take up dog care/dog walking to care for other pets who need it. I worked for a Professional Company, ‘Canine Care,’ for a year, and it was one of the best experiences of my life! I work with barking, lunging, curious, drooly, happy, jumpy dogs all day, and I won’t have a problem with however your dog is! I look forward to meeting and having a great, safe, time with them. I am available pretty much most days for house sitting and walking. I text back very quickly so just ask and I’ll let you know right away! I have a fenced in back yard, no pets in the house and if you’re comfortable pets are allowed on the furniture. For walking, I have 6 foot and 10 foot leashes, and my neighborhood is on the quieter side if you’re dog is sensitive to noise. Let me know if you have any other questions I’m happy to answer.

“David went above and beyond today. I forgot to update my address in the Rover platform and he went to our old house. As soon as I let him know what happened, he quickly updated the appointment and made his way to our new place. I so appreciate this - my dad is not able to walk my dog and Sam was very happy to see David, since we are repeat customers. I so appreciate his thoughtfulness and care. He is also very attentive and responsive.”

I have experience with many types of dogs from morkies, poodles, Dalmatians, Airedales, blue pits, boxers, & etc. safe to say, I am well versed in the dog community! I genuinely enjoy providing a 5 star experience for your baby. This includes frequent walks, organic treats (if there’s no dietary restrictions), cuddles, a bin full of toys, & MORE! I currently WFH, so I am always at your pup’s disposal. I will be home majority of the time with your pet. I also have a pup of my own, & she is very friendly with dogs of all sizes. I currently stay across the street from a Huge park, so your baby will have plenty of time & space to run around. There’s also a fenced part of the park where they can play off leash.

“I have big dogs. They are trained, but I still tend to worry about their strength taking an outside person by surprise. Alex was GREAT with my Boerboels (aka South African mastiffs). I really look forward to her working with my dogs again!”
