Dog Walking Highland Park

“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.”

“Billy provided 60 minute/2.5-3 mile walks for my lab Zoey who adored Billy and was always very excited to see him. Billy is trustworthy and responsible with great communication skills. He was on time and texted if he was running late. He let me know how Zoey did on her walks and included several pictures. I highly recommend Billy.”

“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!”

“Carrianne is fantastic! My Marky can be very hesitant around new people, but Carrianne was able to redirect him, get him plenty of exercise during their walk time, and even sent some pics of him giving her a smile! She did a great job. Thank you again!”

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 have a year of experience working at a doggy daycare with many different breeds of dogs from seniors to puppies, I also have a few years of experience working with farm dogs as well as other animals. I’m currently between job so your dog(s) will have my full attention! They will go for at least 4 walks a day unless otherwise instructed and I’m happy to take them to dog parks or any other spots your pup loves. I have multiple parks and a dog park with in walking distance and I’m a very active person I’ll ensure your pup gets more than enough exercise through out their day. I am very patient and have a lot of experience caring, and I will be a loving and attentive sitter.

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.

About: **Pet Care Experience** I deeply care for dogs, cats, farm animals, reptiles, and amphibians, especially those who struggle with fear, anxiety, or past traumas. With 25 years of personal caregiving experience and 15 years of dedicated training in animal husbandry, I have devoted my life to understanding and nurturing all kinds of animals, whether they are beloved pets or cherished farm companions. My approach is rooted in modern, scientifically-proven training methods that prioritize positive reinforcement, gentle redirection, and fear-free handling. I am committed to building trust, confidence, and safety in every interaction, and I truly believe in meeting each animal where they are emotionally, honoring their unique pace and individual needs. Above all, my goal is to create a nurturing environment where every interaction is restorative, joyful, and filled with unconditional love and patience. I understand the journey of coming out of your shell, and I strive to provide a calm, safe space where animals can heal, trust, and ultimately thrive. I also have experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, and adapting my care to meet special needs. Whether your animal needs gentle reassurance or playful companionship, I am here to offer compassionate, personalized care that respects and supports their unique journey. Pet care is a significant part of my life, and I have set aside time in my schedule to provide attentive and compassionate care on weekends, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I am available Monday and Tuesday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. For an additional fee, I am also available to work on Wednesdays through Fridays starting after 9:00 a.m. I offer flexibility on weekends if extra care is needed, as well as overnight stays and holiday care upon request. By focusing my care on these specific days, I can give each animal my full attention, patience, and love, ensuring a positive and supportive experience every time we are together. Every pet deserves to feel safe, respected, and comfortable in their environment. Whether I'm caring for pets in my own home or in a client's home, I prioritize creating a calm, structured, and positive space tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets enjoy enrichment activities such as lick mats, playtime, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day. I have a fully fenced backyard with 6+ foot tall fences for safe outdoor play and private areas where dogs can rest undisturbed if they need a break from other animals. Every animal is welcome on the couch for snuggles and is encouraged to feel at home. I utilize gentle, positive reinforcement and maintain clear, consistent routines to help pets feel secure. For animals with fear, anxiety, or a history of trauma, I prioritize slow introductions, patience, and fear-free handling to build trust at their own pace. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, ensuring that pets' surroundings remain familiar and stress-free. I follow instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and behavior protocols closely, maintaining consistency and safety. I am also attentive to environmental safety—checking gates, securing leashes, and removing hazards—and I communicate regularly with pet parents to provide peace of mind. My goal is always to provide gentle, reliable care that fosters trust and confidence in both pets and their humans.

“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).”

Keri C.

“Deanna was wonderful! She showed up on time and was incredibly patient with my 14-year-old Australian Shepherd. It’s clear she truly loves animals and has a calm, caring presence. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”

Christina B.

“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!”

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.

“Amy was so accommodating about not having updated my address and being so flexible about going to the correct one same day notice! It’s also tricky to get into my building but she was able to do so flawlessly! Thank you Amy!”
