Dog Walking Hyde Park

“Artiss has walked my pup multiple times, and he has always been happy to see her! She has done a great job managing his high energy level, sent wonderful photo updates, and always made sure he went to the bathroom.”

About: I have had an affinity for animals my whole life, began pet sitting by early high school, and have additional experience in zoo care and animal research. This wide range of work has shaped my approach to pet care and gave me a well rounded perspective of animal behavior. I love all animals and treat them as my own! I am currently a Master's student at the University of Chicago, so my schedule revolves around school. I have flexibility on MWF around classes, and often availability on the weekends. I care for all pets as if they are my own. I am big on matching an animal where they are with energy, space, boundaries, and any behavioral quirks. No request is too much if it will offer your pet comfort and joy!

“Victoria did a wonderful job with our Australian Shepherd, Auggie. She follows directions well and has a great demeanor. Auggie and I look forward to working with her in the future!”

About: Hi, I'm Danny! I work part-time as a dog handler at a local daycare and have 10 years of experience caring for animals professionally through dog walking and pet sitting services. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand that pets are our family and I'm intentional about providing them with the genuine love and care they deserve. I provide reliable daily walks, drop-in visits, in-home pet sitting, and boarding tailored to your pet's unique personality and routine. Managing dogs and cats of all temperaments daily has taught me exactly how to keep your pet safe, happy, and well cared for. I am fully insured and First Aid/CPR certified, and I promise to treat your pet like one of my own! I'm currently working part-time while studying on my own schedule. I'm very flexible for dog walks, pet sitting, and drop-in visits most days of the week. I care for every pet based on their individual needs, personality, and routine. On walks, I focus on enjoying safe, fun exercise and giving them plenty of time to sniff and explore. For drop-ins and in-home sitting, I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet has fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, cuddles (if they want them), and a clean, comfortable space. I’ll also send daily photos and report cards so that you have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up with animals all my life and my house was always noisy. However, now that I’ve moved away from home I’ve been missing the little guys. Im going into a my Masters program at UChicago! I’m also a barista at Starbucks! I usually work in the early morning so my afternoons are pretty open! I have the upmost respect for others property and place. I would love to board animals at my apartment if you are comfortable with it! However, I will come second to only you in loving your animal.

“Erin has been absolutely amazing with Oscar. She walks him every day, is always on time, and consistently goes above and beyond. I really appreciate the detailed updates and photos after each walk — it gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. She’s also so thoughtful with my cats and always takes time to give them attention too, which means a lot. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she works with. Highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative!”

About: I have been around and cared for dogs for years through family, friends, and everyday life. I’ve been trusted to feed them, take them outside, go on walks, play with them, check in throughout the day, and give them plenty of attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy taking the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. My schedule is flexible, which gives me availability in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day and what you need. I’m available throughout the week and on select weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. I know how important it is to trust someone coming into your home and caring for your pet. I always respect your space, follow the routine and instructions you provide, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, or simply keeping them company, I want them to feel cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures 🤗so you can stay up-to-date with your pet.

“Amazing and very detailed walker! You won’t be disappointed 😇”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Before joining Rover, I regularly used Wag to walk and care for dogs, so I’m familiar with working with different breeds, temperaments, routines, and owner preferences. I’m new to Rover, but not new to dog walking or pet care. I’ve also cared for dogs in my own home and helped friends and family with their pets. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, senior dogs, shy dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I enjoy long walks, exploring new neighborhoods, and making sure every dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and care they need. I live on Chicago's Far South Side, but most of my clients are in neighborhoods farther north, including Lincoln Park, Fulton Market, and nearby areas. I’m happy to travel for scheduled walks and drop-in visits, so I’m a good fit if you’re looking for a reliable walker or sitter who is willing to come to you. I’m happy to accommodate each dog’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, special instructions, and plenty of updates while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a reliable sitter, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine through caring for my own dogs. I’m used to incorporating walks, feeding, play, training, and general care into my day and paying close attention to each dog’s individual needs. I currently work part-time, and I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable managing dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize safety and make sure all dogs are comfortable with one another. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines and instructions closely and focus on keeping their pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“One of the best I’ve experienced on this app so far. Bola was very effective, communicative and a joy to work with! Django loves her so much! I highly recommend her for your pet!”

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs of varying ages and have always enjoyed it immensely. I no longer have a dog of my own but I would love to make friends with yours. I am working 3 days per week (not a set schedule) and have enough time to spend with some lovely dogs. My schedule changes week to week but I am quite flexible and hopeful we can find a good agreement for dog sitting/walking. My apartment is clean and spacious and perfect for a small/medium dog to stay at and play. I do not own a crate but also would prefer if your dog is properly trained and can tolerate being in open space.

“Qutress is so sweet to our Ellie and we are so lucky to have found her.”

“She was great with my dogs who are shy at first. She gave me some great feedback and tips for walking my dogs and even came out in awful weather. Highly recommend!”

About: I've had cats all my life, current have 3. I have two dogs, both German Sheppards, and love taking care of them! Very in tune with physical cues of discomfort and figuring out what the animals need! I've stayed overnight at family members houses for years to take care of their dogs. I work part time at a coffee shop, but can always make time for taking of your fur babies! I have varying availability everyday and would love to work with your schedule! I love spending time with your animals and will be engaged with them the duration of my time with them, whether they love walks or chilling out!

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, mostly hounds but lots of experience with all breeds! I am more than happy to work with dogs of any age and have experience with caring for high needs and senior dogs. i am no stranger to a mess and have no problem cleaning up any type of accident. i love all dogs but my heart really goes out to the big pups out there <3. i am quite comfortable with working with dogs that have behavioral/agression issues, given i am properly informed and prepared. i have a fairly open schedule most of the time. i work freelance contractually from time to time, but i am always available to take a break and come see your fur baby. i am returning part time to school in the fall, but that should not interfere with care timings I am very comfortable with dog procedural things. I have experience walking many sizes of dogs, as well as crating and proper and safe playtime. i believe that dogs tell us a lot more than some people let on, so as of course i will follow your guidance in care, i also want to listen to your dogs attitude and communication as well

“Kiera was absolutely wonderful! She was punctual and really good at communicating! Would definitely choose her again!”

“Manuela did a great job! My dog Ella really enjoyed walking with her. Manuela is punctual, reliable. My dog doesn't trust people easily but with Manuela, it was easy. Amazing! Thank you so much. ?”

About: I have volunteered at animal shelters since I was 10 years old, and am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages! Additionally, I have seven years of experience pet/house sitting, including overnight. In the past few years, I have specialized in caring for puppies, and have experience with bottle feeding. I also had the unique opportunity to work with a coalition that supported people experiencing domestic violence by connecting their pets with fosters while they stayed in shelters (which normally do not allow animals.) I am currently a grad student at the University of Chicago, and have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule! Whether you would like me to stay at your home full-time while you are away, or just need me to stop by for periodic visits, walks, or play-time, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! I am available both during the week and on the weekends, and can't wait to spend them hanging out with your cats and dogs! I am very comfortable walking dogs of all sizes, and am happy to take them outside to play as well! If your pet has any medication, I can make sure they take them. I will make sure that dogs have plenty of potty breaks, and that all animals are fed on time. If I am staying in your home, I will be respectful of any boundaries you have and will leave the place just as you left it.
