“Tim has been really great with my dogs. They get so excited to see him when he arrives. Its been a great help as I recover from an injury to know they are in good hands with their afternoon walk. He has also been very flexible with the schedule and adjusted a walk time as my schedule changed. My dogs are 90 and 70 lbs and he has had no issues with them.”

“Brennyn demonstrated a high level of patience with Sir Wiggle Bottom during the initial stages. By the end of the week, Wiggles appeared enthusiastic about seeing Brennyn and going for walks. Brennyn provided us with an update, including a report card featuring charming photos of Wiggles enjoying himself. Thank you!”


“Billy does such a great job with our doggo. She’s so excited to see him and even though she’s a senior dog, it sounds like she lights up and is glad to get outside and sniff. We really appreciate his daily notes & pictures so we know how she did.”

“My pups had a better time with Karen than they do with our family, for SURE! She is great and communicating, letting us know what the walk was like, sending pictures. 100% would book again, and highly HIGHLY recommend. Also, very covid aware and safe!”

“Carianne was great! She was so kind and gentle with my dog Lily. Lily loved Carianne! Would highly recommend her as a reliable, caring person to take care of your pet companion when you can't.”

“Kelsey is amazing! Our dog loved her and they had such a great time on walks. She is super responsive, thoughtful and always on time. We couldnt ask for a better friend for our fur baby!”

About: I’ve been a mom to small dogs most my adult life. I currently have a chill 7 lb shih tzu mix that would love company on our two daily walks. I work part-time and am never away for more than 5 hours. (Often my college age son is home when I’m out) I’ve taken care of very young pups as well as older dogs requiring medications and special diets. I’m responsible and loving, doing my best to keep pups content while their people are away. I’m communicative and responsive and provide daily pupdates. I work three days a week for no more than 5 hours, so I’m home a lot. I have a 5 year-old shih tzu mix that I walk twice a day so I have a good routine established. My college age son lives with me and is super helpful and responsible. Generally if I’m out, he’s home to give extra potty breaks and belly rubs. My back yard is quite big and securely fenced-lots of room for sniffing! My house is cozy and comfortable-I’m happy to have pups on my lap on the couch and in my bed for the night.
“We highly recommend Lexy. She is reliable, conscientious, and excellent at communication. She took the time to let our nervous dog become familiar with her. On the days he was too uptight to walk well, she read his cues and gave him other outlets for his energy like training sessions and playtime in our yard (we really appreciate this tailored care).”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was seven years old, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. What started as a love for animals grew into years of hands-on experience walking, training, and pet sitting for friends, family, and their extended circles. Over time, I’ve built a reputation for being dependable, patient, and genuinely invested in every dog’s well-being. From energetic puppies who need structure and play to senior dogs who need extra patience and comfort, I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and care needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I take pride in meeting them where they are whether that means high energy adventures, gentle walks, reinforcing training, or simply providing companionship. Pet care isn’t just something I do it’s part of my everyday life. As a full-time sitter, my days are centered around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I know how important consistency and trust are, especially when you’re leaving your furry family member in someone else’s hands. My top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm, nurturing environment for your pet. Before our time together, I make it a point to learn their routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide the best care possible. Whether it’s a quick walk, training support, or overnight care, I treat every dog like family because that’s exactly how they deserve to be treated Pet care is at the center of my daily and weekly routine. As a full-time sitter, I dedicate my time to walks, play, feedings, and companionship Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities when caring for your pet. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take the time to get familiar with their personality, routines, and specific needs before our time together begins. From ensuring their safety during walks to creating a calm and comfortable atmosphere at home, I’m committed to providing attentive care. You can trust that I will treat your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for every step of the way.

About: I've loved and cared for dogs for 20+ years — and it's the senior and high-needs ones that have shaped me most as a caretaker. I've worked professionally as a dog walker and sitter, volunteered on a farm tending to sheep, pigs, and cows, and have logged years of animal care across a wide variety of contexts. My focus and true passion is senior and high-needs dogs. I currently care for Momo, my 11-year-old mini poodle rescue, who requires daily medication, mobility support, and consistent patience with separation anxiety rooted in past trauma. I'm fully comfortable managing medication schedules, specialized diets, and the kind of attentive, adaptive care that older or more complex dogs require. I also guided my previous dog, an Old English Sheepdog, through her full senior journey — including dementia-informed reactivity, significant mobility challenges, and all the nuanced day-to-day care that came with loving a big dog through her final chapter. I share my home with two poodles: Momo, and Stormy — a big, friendly 7-year-old standard who loves meeting new dogs and is equally happy to give them space if that's what they need. Stormy splits his time between my home and family nearby, so his presence varies by stay. I now work from home in a different field, and pet care is my way of staying connected to the animals I love. Your dog gets calm, present, unhurried attention from someone who is genuinely home — and genuinely invested. Senior dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs who need a little extra are especially welcome here! I work from home the majority of the week, so I'm present and available throughout most days. I'm typically in office one to two days a week — usually Wednesdays and/or Thursdays — for roughly 8 hours. Outside of those days, I'm home and attentive during business hours and fully available on evenings and weekends. I have a fully fenced yard, a one-story layout with no stairs to navigate — especially important for senior or mobility-limited dogs — and gate separation available so visiting dogs can be in the mix while still having their own space. Crates are available if needed. I keep pet cameras throughout the home so I can monitor remotely on the rare occasion I'm out. All dogs have dedicated feeding stations and I'm happy to accommodate varying meal times and dietary needs. Animal CPR documentation is posted in the home, an emergency vet is less than a mile away, and I have reliable transportation should anything come up.

“Skippy has been great with my 90lb hound, Sydney! He walks her once a week and is consistent and reliable. I know she’s safe and happy when she’s out walking with Skippy!”
“Serena is so awesome. I’ve been using her as my dog walker for a little while now and she is excellent at communicating with me and it is obvious that she loves dogs. I don’t worry a bit that he is not happy or well taken care of; definitely recommend her!!”
“Madison is fantastic! Chacha and Khai had a great walk and are now napping happily. She’s definitely one of our favorite sitters, and we’ll be booking her again soon!”


About: I’m a proud Corgi owner with over 5 years of pet care experience. Caring for my own dog has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and giving every pet the love and attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or keeping them company, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I’m currently focused on my studies, so I have flexible availability built around my school schedule including weekdays and weekends. I can handle feeding, walks, playtime, and litter/potty routines at whatever times work best for you, including early mornings or evenings. My home has a fully fenced yard, safe for pets to roam freely. I have two friendly dogs who are well-socialized and used to sharing space with other pets, and I always supervise introductions to make sure everyone gets along. If your dog needs crating or a separate space, I’m happy to accommodate that to keep them comfortable and stress-free in a new environment.
“This was Frank’s first time walking with Law and it went well! Law was on time (early even), clear, friendly communication and came with all supplies need and he wore a mask. Awesome! Thank you, Law!”

“Jennifer was great! Our dogs (one of which is extremely picky about new humans) took to her really quickly, even wanting to hop into her lap after a couple of visits. She also left detailed notes and photos. Definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments through friends, family, and neighbors, and I currently have a 6-year-old Shiba Inu—so I understand independence, stubbornness, and the need for structure and consistency. I’m reliable, attentive, and make sure dogs get proper exercise, clear boundaries, and a calm environment. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, handling high-energy or strong-willed dogs, and following detailed instructions (feeding, medications, routines). I focus on keeping dogs engaged, safe, and stress-free, and I’ll keep you updated so you know your pet is in good hands. I work on weekdays so can walk your dog anytime on the weekends. Possibly weekdays depending if its a holiday that can work as well. Just feel free to let me know the best way to provide care to your dog. Happy to give any medicine required or if you dog prefers any toys.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Highland Park is $25

Matt is very patient. It took a while for my pup Joey to warm up to him, but Matt was so kind and gentle with him. After a few weeks, when Matt shows up, Joey would come out of his crate all excited to see Matt. I also have a cat that usually doesn’t like people, but on many occasions, my kitty boy also went to ask for pets from Matt when he came to walk Joey. If we could have Matt could walk Joey indefinitely, we would. Thanks for being so good to my babies!

Joline is wonderful with Oogie. She was able to help on short notice for a meet and greet and clearly took the time to understand his routine. She handled him really well, even with hot weather and construction happening around the house. She is communicative, sends thoughtful updates and sweet photos, gives him fresh water and food afterward, and makes sure the key is returned to the right place. I feel very comfortable trusting her with Oogie and would happily book with her again.

Berry can be dog reactive, and Trieste did a wonderful job exercising both dogs. Trieste kept Berry within a fences portion of our yard and played games that were both mentally and physically engaging for my pups. They were content and well behaved for the rest of the day. I would definitely use Trieste again.
