Dog Walking Lincoln Square

About: My entire life i've had furry loved ones by my side; cats, pups, fish, pigs and everything in between! My compassion for them is my priority so you have one less thing to worry about while you're away. Happy to administer medications for both cats and dogs. I work from home and my schedule is flexible and available any day of the week. Happy to do a quick drop-in, walk, or all day sitting. I work from home in Lincoln Square and my hours are very flexible and I’m easy to reach. I'm also happy to water your plants, pick up package deliveries, or whatever else!

“Jennifer’s gentle approach and expertise are paying off this week as my shy dog is clearly getting more comfortable with her. I’m so grateful Jennifer can come spend meaningful time with my baby while I’m at work all day!”

“Whitney has been very detailed and sweet with my cat and dog. She has gone above and beyond of what I expected of her. She has worked on commands with my puppy and has worn him out so he’s not full of energy when I get home from work. I would highly recommend her!”

About: Hi, I’m Susan, a lifelong dog lover with over 40 years of experience caring for pups of all kinds and ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I offer safe, loving in-home boarding and daycare for small breeds (typically 30 lbs and under), with a special affection for terriers. I provide a calm, cozy home environment where dogs are treated like family and receive lots of attention, affection, playtime, and walks. My Westie, Isla, is friendly, social, and loves having dog friends over—especially other small and medium-sized pups with gentle, playful personalities. While I primarily care for smaller dogs, I may accept select medium-sized dogs on a case-by-case basis depending on temperament, leash manners, and overall fit with Isla and my home environment. I currently offer boarding and daycare primarily Fridays through Mondays, with Thursday evening drop-offs available after 7:00 pm for longer weekend stays. This schedule allows me to provide focused, attentive care and maintain a relaxed environment for every dog in my home. Whether your pup is staying for a night, a long weekend, or recurring daycare visits, I’ll do everything I can to help them feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. Caring for dogs is a natural and joyful part of my daily life. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to structure my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. My routine includes regular walks, indoor and outdoor play sessions, and lots of cuddle time. Whether we’re tossing a ball in the living room, enjoying a quiet break together, or following a familiar feeding schedule, I strive to make each dog feel safe, loved, and truly at home. Weekends follow the same routine, so your pup will enjoy a calm, consistent environment every day of the week. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly home where every pup is treated like family. I closely supervise all interactions—especially during introductions—and keep the environment low-stress by hosting no more than one or two dogs at a time. My own dog, Isla, a friendly, well-socialized three-year-old West Highland Terrier, offers wonderful canine companionship and helps other dogs feel welcome. You can trust that your dog will be in attentive, experienced, and loving hands throughout their stay.

“Amazing, so kind to our little pup 🦭”

About: In college i took classes specifically on animals health, with specific focuses on pets. - their behaviors, needs and how to best care for them. I've always had an animal in my life. I grew up helping taking care of my family's dogs and in college my roommates and I got a cat. Since graduating college I haven't been able to have a pet and wanted to become a sitter to continue to have animals in my life. I'm a recent college graduate, currently looking for a full time job so I'm quite flexible. I'm available between 8AM-7PM, Monday through Sunday and can also be available for overnight pet sitting if needed. I believe in leaving a space as clean as when you came, caring for the pet and taking care of any possible messes. After taking care of both cats and dogs, I believe in giving them lots of play time and engagement. Given any specific health needs, I can medicate and care for (and carry if necessary) pets up to 30lbs.

“She was available asap when I was in a pinch! Very communicative and came through big time. Thank you!”

About: I've taken care of my family and friend's dogs for 8 years. I'm comfortable working with dogs with special needs as my own maltipoo went through spinal surgery and recovery. I'm currently working part time from home so my schedule is very flexible and I have lots of time to provide quality care for your pet. I have a fenced yard and live near Winnemac park for great walks. I also have a calm and friendly maltipoo to keep your pet company. I am an attentive pet owner and caregiver who will make accommodations according to your pets needs.

“Ryan was absolutely fantastic to work with. He was very detailed on how his and Luna's walks went. He was very attentive to her and made sure she had plenty of play time and pets. I will definitely be booking walks with him in the future”

“Oliver is so gentle and kind-hearted! He's always on time, extremely flexible, and perfectly follows instructions. He makes it so easy to leave my dog in his care, and I have full confidence whenever she's with him that she's safe and happy. Her delighted reaction whenever he comes over to pick her up is the only 5⭐ review that anyone will ever need!”

“Olivia was awesome! She took great care of my dog and was available on short notice. I was a little nervous because my dog is still in the process of training and gets excited easily. However, Olivia was still able to provide exceptional care. Will be hiring Olivia again!”
