Dog Walking Jefferson Park

“Jackie has been absolutely wonderful with our dogs. She’s always on time, reliable, and has taken the time to really get to know each of them. Her patience and dedication have even helped with some training along the way! We’ve had a consistently positive experience and truly appreciate the care and attention she gives. Would recommend, thank you!”

“Rollo & Vidar have loved their first couple of walks with Kenya! Two big Labs can be an handful, but Kenya has done wonderfully with them and we look to many more walks with her.”

About: What sets me apart would be that I take pride in being a huge lover of animals. I take care of them like they are my children❤️🐶 I work a very flexible schedule so I’m able to be with them longer and I have more days always available to me to sit ! I will always take them out and be sure to give them lots of play time or just bunch of cuddles. It makes me happy to just be in their presence

About: Hi! My name is Carmen, and I’m 23 years old! I have over a year of experience working at a dog training facility and currently work at a doggy daycare, where I continue to learn about dog behavior, socialization, and care. I have a genuine passion for working with dogs, and one of my favorite things is training puppies and helping them develop good habits from an early age. I’m patient, attentive, and believe in using positive reinforcement to help dogs learn. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll treat your pup like my own! 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time, so my schedule offers flexibility for pet care. There is always someone home to keep your pets company and make sure they’re cared for. In my free time, I love spending time with animals, so caring for your pets is something I genuinely enjoy! 🐾 Your fur baby will have plenty of space to feel comfortable and be themselves in my apartment! I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and at home. I always prioritize their safety, follow their routines, and make sure they receive plenty of attention. I also have three cats, so I take introductions and everyone's comfort seriously.

About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Throughout my life, I've shared my home with six dogs of my own and several foster dogs. Additionally, I have experience raising puppies, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with different needs and temperaments. Years ago, I worked in a veterinary clinic, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals and assisting with their medical needs. Because of that experience, I am comfortable administering medications, including pills and injections, if needed. I currently work primarily from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Your pet will never be left alone for more than six hours, and in most cases, they'll enjoy having me nearby throughout the day. I live in a single-family home with a secure fence around the whole property, giving dogs plenty of safe space to run, play, explore, and burn off energy. I have my own dog, River, about half the time, as I share custody with my ex. River is wonderful with other dogs; her favorite thing is creating a "puppy pile" by curling up next to—or sometimes right on top of—whoever happens to be nearby. If your dog enjoys canine companionship, they'll likely have a new cuddle buddy. My love for animals extends beyond dogs. I adopted an elderly cat from a family friend who could no longer care for her, and I also adopted a turtle from a friend who moved. My turtle now enjoys a comfortable home in a spacious 100-gallon aquarium. Providing animals with safe, enriching environments is something I genuinely enjoy. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away. Pet parents describe me as patient, caring, responsible, and communicative. I believe regular updates and clear communication provide peace of mind, and I'll treat your pet with the same kindness and attention I give my own animals. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home most days. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. On the days I go into the office, I am never gone all day—typically no more than six hours at a time. When caring for dogs in my home, I provide frequent opportunities for them to play and go potty in my fully fenced yard. I strive to make pets feel comfortable and secure by maintaining a consistent routine, providing fresh water, feeding them according to their schedule, and giving them plenty of attention and enrichment. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals that require medication, including administering pills and injections when needed. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow the routines and instructions provided. I know that pets are often most comfortable when their schedules remain consistent, so I prioritize maintaining their normal feeding, exercise, medication, and bedtime routines. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they are away.

“Tanya came over to meet our pup the week before our scheduled walks, which was really nice to be able to meet her and go over things. Tanya has been very quick with communication and is reliable. She was very caring with our dog and even checked in on how our dog was doing after her spay surgery. We will continue to use Tanya in the future!”

“Amanda helped me out when another dog walker flaked out and never showed when I was in EUROPE! I was scrambling to find someone and she was great! My mom let her in and she feed and walked my pups and gave me updates when their walks were over. Everyone had nothing but wonderful things to say about Amanda. She was professional, joyful and kind. You can’t go wrong choosing her to care for your pets! ♥️😊🌟”

About: I have always got along with cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds, using my nursing skills to socialize and keep pets healthy and content. I am retired so I am available most days and am a naturally early riser. Sunday is my only day of limited availability. (6-8a and after 3p) I care for 2 cats, have a fenced in yard and assist my neighbors in catching and releasing feral cats that require vet care. Many have found happy homes in this process.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life. I couldn't have one at home so I would always go to family and friends to help pet sir or walk whenever they needed it. Once I got a place of my own I started fostering dogs and cats for people who found animals on the street. I specialize with aggressive animals and have done lots of training for puppies and seniors as well. I've never met an animal that didn't take well to me hence why I am the animal whisperer. This is currently my full time job while I'm studying to be a mechanic. I'm in the process of getting my certifications on my own so my schedule is very flexible. I always make sure to check the boundaries set by you always. Safety is everything in this line of work. I've had little ones of my own and they meant the world to me. I'll treat them and protect them as if they were my own kids.

“Brynn was excellent! Truly went above and beyond in caring for my pup. She did a long walk for my energetic dog, brought extra water for her, and even brought in a package she saw. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had numerous amounts of animals for over 10 years. I have also worked at a doggy daycare, where I have had experience with all sorts of ages and breeds completing tasks such as medication administration to even simple ones like walking. I’m currently a full time student, working a part time job. While my schedule isn’t perfect for anytime, I’m available Mon-Fri mornings after 9:00am and weekends anytime. Currently at this time, I will not be offering any boarding services for pets that would need it. I am strictly doing walking and check ins.

“Coleen is super friendly and great with both of my dogs! She has earned my trust and my dogs love seeing her. I would recommend Coleen and will definitely be using her services again.”

“This was my first time using Rover but we needed to find someone to walk Mason with me having to be at work more often. Mason loved Tanya and seeing that put my heart at ease. We will definitely be using Tanya moving forward. As a crazy dog mom having pictures sent to me while they were on a walk was everything 🥰”

“Great and very thoughtful!”

About: Over 10 years of experience pet sitting and dog walking. I’ve house sat for dogs, cats, bunnies, and pigs. I pride myself on being responsible and caring to your animal. I often work a flexible schedule and can adjust hours if requested, but I am usually most available for pet sitting and walking Friday through Monday. I live in a house with multiple apartment units. We have a fenced yard and our landlord allows pets. Non-smoking, child-free, and no other pets in my unit.

“Michael was kind enough to come by and do a meet and greet. My normally apprehensive girl loved him.”

About: I am a stay at home mom and we recently lost our 14 year old ShihTzu so it’s pretty quiet around here! We’d love to have some pups around to join us for walks around the neighborhood, cuddles on the couch, and games of fetch in nearby parks. I've had dogs as long as I can remember, they're my favorite people. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. Before working from home, I used the services of dog-walkers and day care providers, so I understand how important is it to find someone who you can trust and rely on. I've been lucky to find great help, and am excited to now be able to provide the same type of attentive care for your pets! I only work outside of the home about 15 hours per week (Sunday and Thursday mornings, Monday evenings), so I am home most of the time! I live in a single family home with a good sized fenced back yard and live in very dog friendly, quiet neighborhood. I am home most of the time so your dog will be in good company!

“Gabby was kind, communicative and did a fantastic job caring for Bodhi. I would not hesitate to book with her again. Thank you, Gabby!!”

About: Hi, my name is Hannah! I live in Portage Park with my partner and our 2 year old Bernese Mountain Dog, Louis. I grew up with Golden Retrievers and my partner and I dog sit for many friends who have a variety of different dog breeds and special needs. I am currently working from home and have a pretty flexible schedule, so I am happy to work something out to fit the needs of you and your pup. We have a fenced yard and a very sweet Bernese Mountain Dog who loves to play, but is equally happy taking a nap. Louis has a condition called Wobbler Syndrome and gets medication twice per day, so we are used to accommodating special needs and medications.
