Dog Walking Lake View

“Kevin was great both with Hank and me, his Type A mother. First time entrusting him to a dog walker, Kevin kept me in the loop with text updates on his ETA and shared pictures and fun recaps of their time together. Would definitely recommend Kevin!”

“Sarah went above and beyond for walking our dog, Rory! She was super responsive and able to help us out last minute with walking needs and even came to do a meet & greet prior! She took great care of our pup and gave detailed notes and photos from her visit. I appreciated her enthusiasm when meeting Rory and I would absolutely recommend her for any of your pet care needs!!”

About: I have a 5 year old standard female golden doodle (Casey) who is a high-maintenance girly but a big ball of love & joy in my family! I am available Friday evenings after 4 and at any time on weekend days (Saturday and Sunday) to walk or dog sit your furry friend! I make sure my dog Casey’s bowls are full, take her outside whenever needs the bathroom, and make sure she gets good play time whenever she isn’t napping.

“Rich always takes great care of our pups. He’s patient and kind with them. And is very respectful of our home. We couldn’t ask for a better dog walker than Rich.”

About: Passionate dog lover with a heart full of love and a head full of responsibility! 🐾 I have had dogs my whole life and plenty of experience dog sitting throughout the years. Your fur babies' happiness and safety are my top priorities. Let's make each day an adventure filled with cuddles, playtime, and responsible care. 🐶 Let me be your dog’s new best friend! I am a graduate student and only out of the house for a three hour block on Thursday afternoons. The rest of the day I’m all puppy all the time :) I am a world class cuddler. I can easily implement at least two 30 minute walks/ball play times per day. I will happily handle any other needs specific to your dog. I live in a dog friendly building and am on the same floor as the dog run. Our building has a 24 hour doorman at the front desk, so you can be sure your dog is in safe hands.

“We continue to use Ryan for taking care of our dogs. He is wonderful. Highly recommend him!”

About: I have been caring and loving pets from a very young age. Throughout college I worked in hydrotherapy which greatly increased my knowledge of dogs. I am experienced in puppies, cats, needy, shy or older dogs. I always make sure that I can provide the animals with whatever they need, from cuddles, play time, walks and medication. From personal experience it is never fun to leave your furry friend behind so I understand how important it is for everything to be just right. I would love the opportunity to get to know any pet and provide them with love and care! I am currently working part time so my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. If I can, I always try and help others out when it comes to pet care :) I currently don’t have any pets of my own in my apartment. When I am with my family pets they are the center of attention!

About: I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs of various breeds, including dog walking and dog-sitting. Personally, I grew up with dogs and love the joy they bring! I am a PhD student working on my dissertation, so I am relatively flexible with my time when I am not writing! Generally, I am available 7 days a week from morning to the evening. I want to ensure the most positive and safe experience for your pup, so please ask me what your needs are and we can work together to identify the best accommodation!

About: All my life, I have loved animals of every species but especially dogs and cats. I have experience caring for dogs of any size, age, or breed from the smallest ones, like Chihuahuas, to the largest, such as Newfoundlands or Great Danes. Caring for your pet is a responsibility I undertake with love, patience, and dedication. I want every dog ​​to feel safe, calm, and loved while their family is away. I understand that every pet has its own unique personality, routines, and needs; I find it very easy to interact with any pet. I treat every dog ​​as if they were part of my own family. Currently, my husband and I have two dogs a Chihuahua and a Border Collie so I understand that every pet receives love in its own way, What characterizes me most is that I am very patient and responsible with animals. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, thanks to my flexible schedule and strong time management skills. I am available throughout the mornings and for much of the day, which allows me to handle walks, home visits, and general care calmly and without rushing. I enjoy maintaining an active and responsible routine; as a result, I am able to dedicate quality time to each pet, ensuring they receive the attention, companionship, and care they need. My priority is to maintain their routine and ensure they feel comfortable and safe in their own space. I make sure to follow each owner's instructions, including schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and any special care they may require. I also strive to provide them with attention, companionship, and patience so that they do not feel lonely while their owners are away. I treat each client's home with responsibility and strive to maintain a clean, tidy, and trustworthy environment for both the pets and their families.

“Janet was great with my senior dog! Was gentle and took her time on the walk. Renee seemed happy and comfortable when I got home from work :)”

About: I grew up babysitting from a young age, which sparked my passion for caring for others. That same love of caregiving naturally extended to animals, and I truly enjoy providing pets with the attention, patience, and affection they deserve. I work from home three days a week, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to give your pet the attention they deserve! I am available for overnight visits as well! I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is maintained, so I’ll follow your care instructions closely and treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care I would my own. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, companionship, and affection so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.

“Leahna is a wonderfully dependable walker and pet sitter. She clearly puts genuine care and attention into every pet she looks after, and it shows. Our animals are always happy and excited to spend time with her!”

About: I treat every dog like family and genuinely love being outdoors with them. Your pet gets my full attention, every time, I’m all about quality care. I am a middle school teacher and I am currently on summer break! I joined Rover because I have some free time in the summer and would love to spend it with some dogs:) I have a very flexible schedule since I am not doing my main job at the moment. I currenly live in an apartment on the third floor with two roomates who also love animals. I have an outdoor green area with fake grass I can take animals out to use the bathroom and play. I am also not far from the lake and many parks! I love to stay active and go on walks so know your pet will be taken care of to the best of my ability!

About: I regularly volunteer with local shelters taking care of cats and dogs of all ages and breeds. Personally, have grown up with dogs and cats. I travel for work, when home in Chicago I am home and off from work 100% willing to provide flexible and my full attention to your pet. Mostly weekday availability. In a pet friendly apartment in Chicago near many dog friendly parks and walking trails. No pets in our house, so your pet will have my full attention.

About: I grew up with a Bernese Mountain Dog and have watched/walked countless dogs throughout my 24yrs of life. From energetic to mellow, introverted to extroverted, and aggressive to gentle. I have always been able to breakthrough and bring out the sweethearts they are! I have experience working with mistreated Pit Bulls during my time in college. On top of that, I spent a summer volunteering in a dog van bathing service. Plain and simple, I have spent a lot of time with dogs! I truly love them and think they are all wonderful with the proper care and affection! Pet care is my primary focus as of now. Willing and able to work whenever possible! I recently graduated from Colorado State and will be attending Northwestern for my masters in the fall. Until then, I will be dog walking/sitting. I look forward to working with you all! I have a spacious three floor apartment with one roommate, who is also a huge dog lover and well experienced with dogs. We have an outdoor fenced in patio that is suitable for all dogs. We also have no other animals in the house. We are smoke free and all house plants are animal friendly. In terms of care, I first assure the dog feels safe and comfortable. Time is needed in order to let them become so. Secondly, I make sure simple needs are met: water, food, bathroom. It is all about being aware and open to a dog’s subtle gestures. The right environment is crucial to set the tone and mood of the dog! In my care, I hope to make every dog feel safe and loved!

“Kiefer saved the day! Last minute late at night I requested a dog walker for the next day and he accepted. He was responsive, flexible, and listened to my requests. I greatly appreciated the photos and kind comment after the walk. Walking my 3 boys could be a handful and Kiefer ensured the boys enjoyed their walk! I’ve found my new walker! :)”

“Cori was a great help in making sure our pup got in a good walk, even during the coldest week of the year! Would absolutely recommend her and use her services again.”
