Dog Walking Lenox Heights

About: I’ve had dogs as part of the family my entire life. I was the trainer of of all our puppies while I was growing up. Now I have two dogs, one with special needs and the other that needs extensive training with reactivity. I can manage medications, reactive walkers, as well as give as many belly rubs and head scritches as needed! I have cared for dogs from puppy to senior. I currently have a remote job that has a lot of flexibility. My schedule does vary and is rather accommodating. I will have my calendar updated accordingly for availability. At this time I will only be providing services at your home since I do have a reactive pup at mine. Also due to that, I will be only providing drop ins and walks.

“I really appreciated Elizabeth's willingness to do a meet and greet before the first walk. She was super patient and understanding with my anxious pup. Would recommend!”

“Krystal continues to do an excellent job walking our dog, Taters. Taters is always excited to see Krystal coming, and Krystal has been flexible and accommodating when our schedules changed and we needed to reschedule walks. She’s easy to work with and is clearly great with dogs!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and love them so much that I decided to work at a Dog and Cat daycare and boarding facility. I’ve been working there for 3 years and have worked with all breeds and ages varying from puppies to seniors and love comforting them and making them happy while also making sure their parents know they are in good hands! I’m currently working part-time and my availability is flexible. I’m willing to make adjustments as long as I am notified at least 2-3 weeks in advance. Depending on the typical routine of the pet, I will follow it as close as possible to make them feel as comfortable as I can. I will keep them busy by going on walks or by playing with them, or if they have lower energy I’ll just make sure to give them extra attention.

“Jessica is amazing! Our dog Gabby stayed with her during the day and they got to enjoy nice walks, go to the park and get lots of play time. Jessica kept us updated during the day and sent us lots of cute pictures. Gabby is excited to see her again!”

About: I have the ability to go on plenty of walks. I have experience in dog sitting/walking my own dog numerous times while my parents were away. When my parents went on a trip to Italy, I spent a whole two weeks with my dog, Tucker. I took him to the park, many walks and played fetch with him everyday. I was diligent in making sure he had a good balance of playful activities and rest while supplying him with food and water. I am currently doing a part time job so I have all the availability that you need on weekends to help with your dog walking needs. I always keep my pets on a leash no matter what, and I am always cautious with other dogs and will walk the other way if I see other dogs approaching.

About: Grew up taking care of animals — have always had dogs (big and small, puppy to adult) and grew up around a farm, so I am comfortable around different animals. I am familiar with their needs, behavioral queues, and differences. I work from home most days, so I could easily work from the hosts home, or host the dog with me (shorter periods of time). The dog can free roam in my apartment, there is no issues with furniture. I have enough space to play with them inside, and work flexibility to give frequent walks. I live in an apartment with a fenced in backyard. Other neighbors have dogs and regularly let them sniff around back there with no issue, though I would not leave the dog unattended back there and would opt for regular walks.

About: I have experience caring for a variety of animals of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I am comfortable with post-op care and administering medications. I will care for your pets as if they are my own! I am available most mornings (before 6 am), evenings (6-9 pm), Fridays, and weekends! I am interested in taking dogs for walks, drop-in visits for dogs and cats, and overnight stays to care for pets in their homes. The care and safety of your pets and home are extremely important to me, as a pet parent to four kitties, a fish, and a snail. I am happy to adhere to your preferences and requests for your pet’s comfort and safety.

“Sydney was awesome! She took a lot of super cute photos and was communicative and respectful. I would highly recommend her for your next walk!”

“Charlotte was awesome. The dogs were a bit over excited at first but she did a great job of calming them down. Would recommend.”

“Monsserath does great with my shy and anxious dog. She is very patient and understanding and has so much love to give my pup. She is super reliable and I can tell looks forward to seeing my pup every week! I am so lucky to have connected with her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

“Melainie is so great with our chihuahua mix, Bowser. Bowser is a great judge of character and is very selective with who he will allow to rub his belly and he loved Melainie the second he met her!”

About: I am a true animal lover at heart! My family always owned dogs growing up, I adopted my own, Bear, in 2017 and my cat Luna (aka Tuna) in 2021. After recently losing Bear unexpectedly, I’m hoping to help heal my heart and get some puppy love by offering walks and drop-in visits to your babies! Prior to adopting Luna, I offered in-home boarding for many years through Rover. Unfortunately she’s not a fan of having other dogs around, otherwise we’d still be offering that service. I also worked at a doggy daycare during college because I loved dogs so much, and I wanted to spend time with them even though I couldn't get one at the time. This obviously provided me with lots of experience in handling multiple dogs! I promise to love your furbaby like my own and provide lots of pictures and updates :) I work remotely on Monday/Thursday/Friday so I’m available for drop-ins or walks during the workday! Would love to arrange regular services over lunch time. As some who believes that pets are family, I promise to do everything in my power to keep your pets safe under my care. When I have hired Rover services myself, I love to receive lots of pictures and updates from my sitters, so I promise to do the same for you!

About: Hi! My name is Nikita. I'm currently looking to gain more experience with dogs and other animals. I'm trying to gain experience in order to look into becoming a dog trainer. So if you decide to choose me to look after your pets I may practice with your dog! Don't worry I'll be nice, I practice with several different styles of training. While I may not have a lot of professional dog experience, I have been around all sorts of animals my entire life. Whether it's my dog that I currently own or the several dogs that I grew up around in my family. I've always had some sort of animal living around me, and I've always had a passion for caring for them.

“I have been using these 2 for a couple of weeks with both Wag and now Rover. They have been great to my girl. They are helping her get the energy out in a safe way and even working on her focus in public. Much appreciated ?”
