Dog Walking In Humboldt Park

“Isaac walked my pup 4 days a week for about 6 weeks. She is very anxious, so I was worried about her with someone new. But he was wonderful with her. My favorite part of the day was receiving all her photos around lunch time. He would send several after every visit. If we weren’t moving, we would’ve stuck with him forever. Thanks so much Isaac!”

About: I’ve taken care of neighbor’s, friend’s, and family’s dogs since I was in high school. I’ve watched after cats with varying temperaments and personalities as well as puppies, seniors, large, and small dogs of a variety of breeds. I love taking dogs on walks and having playtime with pets, and will be sure to give your pet the attention they need while you are away! I have a 5.5 year old terrier mix named Harriet that I’ve raised and trained since she was a puppy and she is my best friend. I will be sure to treat your pet how I would want my Harriet to be treated! I work remotely from home with flexible hours, so I will be able to step out throughout the day to check in on any pets or take dogs on a walk or have playtime! I am happy to provide any care/attention you’d like for your dog. I can feed them, take them out to the bathroom, take them on a walk or to the park, play with them, provide special care, or anything else you’d like.

About: I’ve raised my mini-golden doodle of 8 years from when he was 2 months old. I’ve trained him to potty outside & all the main tricks. He’s well behaved & gentle. That’s why many of my friends have trusted me with caring for their pets. Whether that be checking in to feed them, walk them, play with them, or even lightly train them. My friends think I’m a dog whisperer. I’m currently doing a career change & study for my Illinois real estate license. My availability is completely open and flexible at this time. Let me know what your needs are! I care for dogs in a way that respects their routine, their boundaries, and keep things clean and in order. Whether it be from dog sitting overnight, I have a keen ear to puppies and when they’re up to something or know when they need to go out to potty in the middle of the night. Any other type of care will be simply respecting your home rules & how you like your pet to be handled or trained along the way.

“Sarah is great!! My dog warmed right up to her and we both feel comfortable with her. I feel like I can trust her and she’s been easy to communicate with. So grateful to have found her!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’m comfortable caring for pets across the entire energy spectrum, from independent shy cats to high-energy athletic dogs. I currently have two cats of my own, so I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. One of my cats is shy and requires daily medication, so I’m experienced with administering medications and helping nervous pets feel comfortable and safe. My other cat is incredibly social, food-motivated, and always ready to remind me exactly when dinner should be served, so I’m no stranger to pets who know what they want! I also grew up with two Vizslas, which taught me just how much exercise, attention, patience, and consistency active dogs need. Whether your pet is looking for a playmate, a walking buddy, extra cuddles, or simply someone reliable to stick to their routine, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and while I absolutely adore my cats, I’m always excited for an opportunity to get my dog fix, too. I’d love to meet your pets and help make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I have a 9-5 but I can work remotely whenever I’d like and I can step away during the day to take care of your pets. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine, providing attentive care, administering medications if needed, and treating your home with the same respect and care as my own.

“Stavroula was a good communicator and I really appreciated her accepting my last minute booking. I like that she took pictures of my dog during their walks. I can tell Izzy liked her too… he seemed confused that she left after the walk instead of staying to hang out 😂”

“Keightlyn was super sweet and communicative! She was so great with our dog and goes above what was asked! Would totally book with her again!”

Hannah V.

“Michele is such a kind and caring walker. She goes above and beyond asking questions to give love specific to him. She also responds very quickly and has helped me on a few last minute occasions!”

Caitlin W.

“Would book again because Warisa is great at communicating with good timing and because walked my dog for the time I scheduled and did cut the walk short. She was honest that Codi didn't end up pooping which I appreciate. I wish she played with Codi for at least 2-3 minutes to get him acquainted with her as I mentioned that my dog loves to play catch with his toys but overall I would def book her again :)”

Zofia S.

“Beatriz was an instant hit with my pup, Charlie! She was kind, slow, and won over this anxiety-ridden girl in record time. I’m impressed with her communication and 10/10 recommend her!”

Laura S.

“Michael was great! He came in and bonded with Copper right away. He was always on time and friendly. Copper liked him from the start. We will definitely work with Michael again.”

About: I have always grown up with multiple pets in our household. Hearing their barks or their paws on the floor always brings me such joy. I’ve cared for dogs for my family and neighbors for the past year. They trust me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while they’re away or if their work schedule conflicts with their routine, so I can do a drop-in. I am patient with shy dogs and even energetic, playful dogs. It's important to be attentive to each pet’s unique needs. My goal is to always make the pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their space while giving owners peace of mind. Every dog has a different energy regardless of their age or breed, so it is important for me to understand their personality and comforts so we can become great friends. I work part-time, which allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I am also a part-time student who is aiming for a career in animal care. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting on certain weekdays. I will also make sure that your pets stay on their normal routine with feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to avoid any stress. I am also available every other weekend at any time of the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I can provide a calm and pet-friendly environment where your dog(s) can feel safe and relaxed. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I will give your pet(s) plenty of attention, exercise, and love.

“Elaine was so patient with our anxious pup. Even when he hid under the bed, she patiently sat with him and coaxed him to go on a walk. Super grateful for all the care she provided!”

Emma R.

“Excellent walker. He’s good at winning over stubborn dogs. Reliable and good with the small touches most dog walkers miss like wiping paws if your dog gets them muddy. High recommend him. He’ll take good care of your pooch.”

About: I have experience with Dogs and cats, as well as other animals like lizards. I have experience medicating animals both through the care of my own pets as well as through my mother who is a veterinarian in Old Town. I've take care of dogs of all age ranges and energy levels. I am currently working freelance so my schedule is wide open to prioritize your pets. And I already have a dog a cat and a lizard that I take care of at home, so my daily routine is already oriented with pet care in mind. I like to spend time with pets both on and outside of walks, as I know they can get lonely when their owners aren't around, and so I can be better aware of how your pet is doing.

“Very patient and great at responding! The dogs loved him! Will ask again for dog walks!”

About: I love dogs and all kinds! I live in a great neighborhood with many dogs and very friendly people. I live close to a dog park where I love to take my dog. I am super excited to take care of other dogs and just have good time together! I am fully dedicated to pet care and pet sitting. I really to love spend my days with positive energy and positive buddy’s all around. Each buddy can have their own designated place either their own bed or crate provided by the pet parent or on a warm blanket I knitted myself!

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my entire life, there was always at least a few animals in my house growing up. I am a huge animal lover! Each animal is unique and aim to accommodate and adapt to each pet's needs. I have experience working with anxious and reactive animals and recognize the importance of taking things slow with new animal friends. Currently in the job market but in the meantime I have a ton of free time and what better way to spend it than with pets. Just let me know your schedule I we can work with it! I have a pretty big space for a pet to be in. Hardwood floors that are easy to clean. I live one block away from a huge city park so I can take a pet there all the time.

About: I've been taking care of family and friend's animals since I was very young. Whether your pet needs love and attention, to walk, or to play, I'm here to provide what they need! I'm a recent graduate from University of Illinois with a degree in Graphic Design, and am on the job hunt, so my schedule is very open. I'm available day and night! I'm able to do your pets daily routine in your home, just like you never left. I'm able to feed, walk, and spend as much time as you'd like with your furry friend.

About: 3 dog owner here, including a tripod. Two boys and a girl all came to us from people who could no longer care for them. Two were from former students and one from the husband of a colleague. I'm a full-time teacher and I also want to play with your dogs. My school hours are 7:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. I am happy to work out drop off, pick up, hang out time and potty breaks. My dogs have front and back fenced-in yards to hang out and run around. They are able to roam the house all day. They go on walks twice a day and we have recently incorporated logic toys to keep them sharp.
