Dog Walkers in Hollywood Heights, IL

About: With over 3 years of experience living with dogs and cats, I treat every pet like family. I offer a calm, trustworthy presence that keeps tails wagging. I’m currently working remotely, so caring for my maltese typically has been a breeze! I maintain a feeding, grooming, exercise, and mental enrichment routine with my dog. I feed my dog 2x a day and walk her for 30 minutes in the evening. Since she’s crate trained, she enjoys lounging around her bed while I work.

About: I have grown up in a household with dogs, mainly the medium to large sized breeds. I have experience with all sizes of dogs though, as I have taken care of a variety of sized dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. I have taken care of cats and dogs when needing medical care - especially giving meds and minor wound care - and also have groomed and walked many types and sizes of dogs. I love making sure the pets are healthy and happy. I have volunteered at an animal shelter to help with the care of animals - providing play time, meds, and grooming of both dogs and cats. I'm currently a full time student at SIUE and SWIC, going for a graphic design certificate and the MFA art studio program. For summer, I have fully online classes. The fall I have 3 in person classes that will have me on campus for approximately 3 hours per day, Monday - Thursday. I will work with you ahead of time if there are any plans I have that will keep me away for longer than 4 hours at a time. During house sitting, I can provide food, medicine, play time, walks, and many other services. I also am willing to assist with house related things - bringing in mail, taking trash out for trash pickup, etc - just let me know and we can work it out. For walks and drop ins, my availability is generally flexible and will work with you to determine the best time(s) to be there. I can also provide some house related services (like bring in mail and packages) upon request. I am available to help with the pets at the clients home. I can either stay at your place or go home at night, which I can work with you based on your needs and comfort. I have experience with gated and non gated yards (so needing to leash the dog when taking out for the potty), gates for inside the house, and crate training. Often I will have my own leash with me so that if anything happens, I'm prepared. As for walks, I often work with the dog(s) to see what triggers them and avoid as much as possible. I know not all dogs are friendly with other dogs or people so I am aware of my surroundings and provide appropriate distance and avoid people and dogs as best as I can.

About: Hi there! My name’s Jordan, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently share my home (and couch!) with 2 energetic dogs and 3 hilarious, personality filled cats. They’re not just pets to me, they’re family. Growing up with animals taught me the importance of patience, playtime, and knowing when a belly rub or a quiet cuddle is exactly what they need. Whether your pet is high-energy and loves fetch or a shy cuddle bug who just wants some company, I take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I do everything I can to make the experience stress free for both you and them. I treat every animal I care for like one of my own, because I know how much love they bring into our lives. Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! I'm fortunate enough to work from home so i'm always available and easy to contact. I will be 110% devoted to your animals and I will make my schedule fit around your needs. I do not offer boarding because i'm currently living on the Warren Airforce Base BUT, I can assure you that your home, dogs, and belongings will be protected and taken care of.

“Amazing experience. Gabby was a very easy going and cared well for our dogs. She is a professional and I highly recommend her. Once you meet her, your mind will be at ease knowing your pets and safe and sound in her care. Great communications throughout the experience. 100% recommend and will call on her again!”

About: I LOVE every kind of dog there is! Shy, loud, energetic, or slow moving. Every pet deserves to have someone match their energy, whatever that may be. I’m an active and energetic person, i’m always down for longer walks or playtime. I have no breed preferences at all! I have experience house sitting/dog sitting, as well as dog walking and kitty care. I grew up taking in and caring for any stray cat or dog I could find, and have spent a lot of time volunteering at shelters. I would say I get along with every animal personality type possible! In my household we have a 2 yr old german shepherd and a senior mini cocker spaniel. As well as a tuxedo kitty cat and a Russian blue kitty. I am currently home for the summer from college, and looking to continue my pet sitting/walking! I’m an outdoorsy person so doing walks or hikes is already in my day to day routine. And what better to have adventures with than some fur babies! I have dogs and kittys of my own, so picking up body language when they need to go potty, when they’re hungry, or when they want to go play is no issue. I definitely cater to animals needs more than my own!

I also babysit a few times these seasons as well but I’m very open with my schedule! I have a fenced in yard along with 3 dogs ranging from 12 years old to 4 years old. They love to run and play in the yard and get along with most dogs! If needed I can easily keep another dog here in a crate or cage.

About: I've taken care of every kind of dog since I was the age of 11. The type of dog breeds I have taken care of are golden retrievers, mixed breed dogs, chihuahuas and pomeranians. Neighbors and family members have trusted me to walk, feed, play, administer medicine and take their dogs to the vet. I have trained puppies and taken care of senior dogs. The first puppy that I trained was my mixed breed dog who we got at the age of six weeks old. I am currently training my 7 month old mixed breed puppy basic commands. The senior dog that I have recently cared for was a chihuahua who had a grain allergy. I am using Rover as my full time job. The service that I offer at the moment is dog walking. I am usually home alot but may need to leave for doctor appointments or to run errands. Owners can expect me to be away for short periods of time, but you can check always check my calendar for availabilities. I have a puppy of my own that I take care of daily. I feed, walk, play, bathe and take care of my puppy's overall health, well-being and safety as part of our daily and weekly routine. I feed my puppy twice a day along with rewarding her with treats throughout the day. I take her on walks either once or twice a day around our neighborhood or at a park. I play with her outside in our backyard or take her to the park. I love on her and provide a safe and comfortable environment for her. I always schedule regular veterinary checkups and nail grinding appointments for her. Once a week I give my puppy a dental treat to ensure that her teeth, gums and breathe are taken care of.

I do not have dogs of my own, but it is a big backyard with lots of room to run around. I have two cats, but they stay to themselves and are very friendly. There is plenty of room for your pet to sleep & lots of food and water to make sure they are well taken care of.

“Ashley is great with my young Goldendoodle Herman! She takes him on the best walks in our neighborhood while my husband and I are at work. Ashley is great at communicating & accommodating my family’s dynamic schedule—and Herman is so much happier when I get home from work when he’s gotten attention from Ashley during the day!!”
