Dog Walking Irving Park

“Sheena was great and went above and beyond to make sure my fur kiddo was well taken care of. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away.”

Liz G.

“Elizabeth is great!! I appreciate that she communicates with me and she even went the extra mile of wiping up my floor after my pup was a little drooly.”

Taylor W.

“Salem loves Obie and I couldn’t be more grateful! They were a joy to have over for a little meet and greet with my pup Obie. He is an opinionated sassy cattle dog and would not do well with a stranger coming in unannounced! Fortunately, he loves Salem and is getting more confident each walk they do. They always give me picture and text updates while walking! I could be happier with our new dog walker ! Thanks Salem!”

Abi T.

“Best ever! Chase was very good at communicating prior to meet up and he understood what my pups needed. Excellent service. Will definitely book again”

About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up caring for them by feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and giving them lots of love and attention. I also worked with children for 7 years, which helped me develop strong responsibility, communication skills, patience, and the ability to stay calm and caring in different situations. I understand that every dog has a different personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine because I’m available throughout the day and enjoy spending time with animals. I’m flexible with walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets attention and care. My schedule is open during the day until 3. Unfortunately if no response from pet owners ahead of walk etc I will not walk dog. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well attended to at all times. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely by providing walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, attention, and any specific instructions requested by the owner. I also make sure pets get plenty of companionship and exercise while keeping their environment clean, calm, and stress free.

“Chris was great! My dog Woody was very happy with his experience and so was I. Communication was easy, and he made sure to give my dog lots of love and attention. Thanks Chris!”

“Anana was available last minute when I had an emergency trip and was a life saver! She was incredibly communicative, always kept us up to date with the walk card and pictures, and was wonderful for Tully while we were gone! We absolutely would recommend her for your pet car needs.”

John M.

“Valerie is great! She remembers all the care instructions from previous walks and takes extra special care of my old pup who needs to be carried down the stairs. She’s responsive and attentive!”

Saunie D.

“Lorena was great with Fusilli, who is very high energy and can be tough to keep focused on walks.”

Emily T.

About: I have pretty much open availability right now so I’m able to dedicate as much time as I want to pet sitting. I’m flexible with visit times as well! I have two cats of my own currently so I am fully comfortable with playing, giving attention, cleaning litter boxes, refreshing food, and giving medication.

“Melanie’s always been a great individual and a great dog walker. I absolutely love her and I trust her with my dogs. I highly recommend her five out of five stars.”

Carla T.

“Katie was very easy to work with! She was responsive and very willing to handle our older pup who needs to be carried. She kept me in the loop how things went. We would for sure use her again!”

Saunie D.

“Sarah was so great with Marshall and provided many updates along the way! She followed all of our instructions and made sure Marshall was happy and well taken care of. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and Marshall is excited to see her again too!”

About: I provide dog walking and drop-in visits focused on keeping pets safe, exercised, and loved. Whether it’s a long walk or a quick check-in with playtime and cuddles, I treat every pet like my own pup at home. I have a very flexible schedule on Tuesday/Wednesday, Friday and Sundays, so am happy to coordinate with you to determine what works best for you and your pup(s). I understand that your pet’s safety and well-being is number one priority. I’m mindful of secure entry/exit, proper leash handling, and maintaining a safe home environment. I always follow routines closely, and I will ensure communication with you as the owner every step of the way.

“Just got home and a huge thank you to Tetiana for taking care of our fur babies while we were gone! Her daily updates made it much easier for us to enjoy a mini vacation! Thank you thank you thank you! Tetiana is very good with all animals and was very professional!”

Emily M.

“Justina was so great with our puppy, we are so grateful for the care, clear communication, adorable pics, and thoughtful gift as well! We would definitely love to have Justina come back anytime!”

About: I treat every pet like family - with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs! What sets me apart is my personalized, compassionate care. From playful pups needing training and fun walks to seniors needing meds and gentle attention - I'm here for it all! Pet care is a joyful part of my routine, and I build my schedule around it. I am available weekends and various weekdays for walks, and drop-ins. Whether it's a puppy needing playtime or a senior dog needing extra care, I'm flexible and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for like family. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, loving space where pets feel safe. With a fenced yard and nearby parks, they'll enjoy playtime, cuddles, and fun adventures - plus personalized care and consistent routines.

About: My near ground level home is in a quiet neighborhood with a small fenced in yard. Short or long walks are stress free, especially with so many pet loving neighbors. Senior dogs or dogs that may have stair issues would be very comfortable. I have had my own animals from babies to end-of-life all of my life. Until I can financially accommodate having them again, I will happily care for yours! I am respectful of what you dictate as rules for your pet, including treats and feeding, and allowing contact with others. If your fur baby is more comfortable in their own home, your privacy is my second priority after your pet, of course. I’ve cleaned up after the grossest of them all, adult bar patrons, so cleaning up after your pet is a non issue! You already have enough on your plate, let me help by taking these duties for a short time. I work part time as a Property Manager for short term rentals. I also clean the (pet friendly) condos between guests. I’m home more than I am not since much of my job I can do remotely. I also am able to make my own schedule the vast majority of the time. Generally, I am available anytime with a small bit of notice. (Just ask!) I can also accommodate late night walks for my Service Industry brethren. Every pet has different needs and expectations. Only a pet parent knows exactly what is best for their pets. I am deeply respectful of your rules around how to care for one of the most important beings in your life. You would be welcome to come into my home to assure yourself it is going to be comfortable and safe for your pet. I do not have children so it is a stress free and quiet environment. Or, I am happy to turn up the tv or radio, open the windows and sing out loud if that’s what is comfortable for your pet! My apartment has a small fenced in area in front that is exclusively mine where I garden and read in warmer months. Indoors, there is space for a crate if your pet is more comfortable with their own enclosed area with items that smell like home. All of my furniture is clean but pet friendly. If you prefer, I can disallow your pet from using the sofa/ bed. If your fur baby is more comfortable staying in their home, the same respect will apply. Your privacy is only secondary to care for your pet. I am able to spend as much or as little time in your home as you like. Pet sitter cameras are expected and perfectly okay with me. Following your instructions is paramount, regardless of where I care for your pet(s). I aim to make your life a little easier by providing this type of service that also brings me joy and reward.
