Dog Walking McKinley Park

About: I've taken care of dogs for my neighbors and family friends throughout middle school and into high school! I have experience walking dogs and taking care of them when their people were on vacation! I am happy to send pictures or videos updates of your pup and will gladly play with them! I am excited to have wide availability to take care of animals! I am open to mornings, evenings, and would be more than happy to stay overnight! I really enjoy spending time with animals! It's important to me to get to know your pet! I would love for you to share with me how you care for your pets, so that I can care for them as well as you do! I love to cuddle, play, and engage with all dogs and cats!

“We are very grateful we found Mike! He is great with our two large dogs and has worked hard on keeping us updated on their walks, and working with them on listening better while walking. He is very responsive and respectful of our home, and we look forward to working with him again.”

About: If you're looking for an experienced pet caregiver who cares about the health, safety and care of the animals she looks after, you're in great hands. I have previously worked for Houston Dog Butler where I cared where I focused on cat sitting and dog walking. I will learn about your pet's personality and quirks before we develop a lasting friendship together. I will, without a doubt, give the upmost care for your loved one. I’m currently full time pet-sitting on Rover and have plenty of availability throughout the weekdays and weekends. Send me a request and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible! ❤️ As a cat parent to two myself, I know it takes time and patience to get most cats to warm up to you and I love to learn each pet’s individual quirks.

About: I've had cats for many years, and I love taking care of them, playing with them and simply spending time with them. I have a good approach to the shyer cats. I also understand the habits and needs of dogs, and I enjoy going on walkies with them. Whatever task it is, I will handle it with love and responsibility. I am very flexible. If your plan changes, just lmk, I'd be happy to adjust to your convenience. I look forward to filling my time outside of going to community college by taking care of your pet! I don't have a job right now, and I have plenty of free time besides going to community college, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. The place I'm living in right now doesn't have space for pets, but I can come over and take care of and feed them.

“Levi (Elizabeth) is an incredible sitter with my grumpy old dog! He’s a very difficult boy to work with and barks and barks at her, yet she is patient, kind, and gentle with him, meeting him on his terms. Highly, highly recommend!!”

“Lillian has been great with my dogs and very communicative throughout the walks. She took the time to make sure they were comfortable, shared updates and photos, and went above and beyond with their care. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work with my schedule, especially while I was out of town. I felt confident knowing my dogs were in good hands, and I would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”

About: i’m patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. i take the time to make shy or anxious pets feel safe and comfortable, and i adjust my approach depending on their energy level and needs. i’m also very reliable with routines and communication, so you can trust your pet is getting consistent care and attention. pet care is part of my everyday routine, as i currently care for two kittens with consistent feeding, cleaning, and play schedules. i’m used to planning my day around their needs, so incorporating additional pet care is something i can do reliably & consistently. when caring for pets in a client’s home, i focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. i follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific preferences your pet has. i take the time to understand each cat’s personality—whether they’re social or more independent—and adjust my approach so they feel comfortable in their own space. i also keep the home tidy and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I have been a proud dog mom for the past 9 years, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life! I live a very active lifestyle and truly believe our pets deserve to enjoy that same energy, whether that means a long walk, playtime, or simply getting some extra love and attention throughout the day. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and have regularly dog-sat for friends and neighbors. I recently moved to Chicago and am excited to bring my love for dogs to Rover! I’m especially comfortable with big dogs and high-energy pups who need a little extra exercise, structure, and attention. My goal is to make every pup feel happy, safe, loved, and right at home while they’re in my care. 🐾 I manage & teach at a Pilates studio so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am also a very early riser 🌞 I also have a car, so transportation will never be an issue. Communication is the most important part of caring for your pet! I’ll make sure we’re aligned on your dog’s routine, needs, and preferences, and I’ll keep you updated throughout their time with me. Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.

About: I have specific experience with big dogs from years of housesitting-no dog is too big to me! I also have a soft spot for elderly dogs. I am still developing training skills so I prefer dogs that are leash-trained, but I am used to some strong pulling and excited walkers. I can walk up to 11 miles, and am happy to gets your pup's steps in to tire them out for you! I love routines and am happy to create a schedule that works best for everyone. I do work a full-time job, so I only have specific hours I can sit/walk. I do work consistent hours, so I am more suited for a regular schedule to help support you during your work or school hours. I am otherwise flexible and do not mind plans being changed the day of, just please clear the time with me prior to scheduling! I cannot keep pets in my home due to lease restrictions. I am happy to sit and feed pets at your home, or just keep them company. I don't mind watering a few plants here or there either!

About: I’ve take care of my friend’s dog while she’s away for traveling. My responsibilities included ensuring frequent and timely potty breaks and managing his high energy levels through structured play and walks. I strictly adhered to his feeding routine and followed all specific care instructions provided by my friend. This experience reinforced my ability to be responsible, attentive, and consistent, confirming my passion for providing reliable care for dogs. I am confident in my skills to adapt to any dog’s individual needs and maintain their comfort and routine while their owners are away. I‘m available before 9 AM in the morning and after 6 PM in the afternoon during weekdays. I’m available during weekends. I’m usually available during holidays because I’m more of a homebody and not traveling very often. I will record and memorize every specific detail and note of caution provided by the client. I treat all these key pieces of information as the main care guideline.
