Dog Walking in Melrose Park

“Dorothy is one of those rare walkers who takes great pride and personal responsibility in her dog walking. She treated our puppies with respect, and always made sure that they got the attention and care that they needed. We look so forward to having her take care of our dogs again!”

Burhan S.

“Sara was very professional, responsive, and seems to have a lot of experience! She met me and my dog before taking us on as clients, which made me feel super comfortable trusting her with my baby. Highly recommend!”

Laura H.

“I can't say enough how warm and loving Kelly is toward dogs. The moment my dog met her for the first time, he ran up to her and acted as though she was his long-lost best friend. She is absolutely the best.”

Laurie C.

“Fanni is wonderful and I felt at ease when Chomper was in her care. She is communicative, responsible, and even braved walking up 13 flights of stairs when the elevator in my building was out. I am so appreciative of her time and would highly recommend her for any pet care needs!”

Katharina W.

“I love Zoryna! She is timely and reliable. My dog, Riley, loves her to death! He gets so excited when she arrives for his walk. I am able to see that Zoryna truly loves dogs. Riley took an immediate liking to her. I have used Zoryna multiple times per day for several consecutive days. She is highly recommended. Zoryna is definitely a keeper!”

Denise & Jim L.

“Rachael is great! She came by to meet our puppy, and was timely and prompt to the schedule. She took our dog to a local park for a nice long walk, which we appreciate!”

About: Hello there! My name is Alyssa Murphy, Aly for short. I myself, have been a dog owner of an adorable malti-pin named Cobi, for 9 years now. I have also owned two cats beforehand and raised abandoned kittens to health, ensuring they were going to proper homes that would appreciate and take care of them. How does this relate to you? Well, I will guarantee to be that same type of home I would of chose for those rescued kittens. That home-away-from-home for your pup, the home I would look for if I needed a dog sitter. No matter if he/she likes to jump around and play, or just likes to relax on the couch, I’m the girl for the job. Your pup will feel highly appreciated and taken care of at the end of the day, and so will you! Any inquires, please feel free to message. P.S. here’s my promo code :) : ALYSSM29530 *I also know how important it is to remain safe and clean during these times, I will make sure to clean and disinfect everything in my home your dog(s) will encounter.* I’m currently working full time and have part time classes online, so I have a few free days (Thursday afternoons, all day Fridays, Saturday nights and all day Sunday-Monday) to take care of your best friend! My house is always kept clean and tidy. Since I have a dog myself (that likes to get into things) there isn’t much left out for him to grab. I live on my own, so I can also adjust according to your pet. I’m always willing to play, walk, and give attention as much as needed/wanted!

“Jamie did a great job walking our dog! We have a 60lb pitbull who can be leash reactive and we felt very comfortable with her walking him. Will definitely hire her again!”

I understand that every dog is unique—with their own personality, routines, and needs—and I pride myself on providing personalized care tailored to each furry friend. Whether your pup needs structured potty breaks, medication reminders, slow and steady walks, or just a good belly rub, I’ve got it covered. 🐶 Highlights: - Over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes - Skilled with puppies: crate training, leash manners, basic commands, and socialization - Compassionate care for senior dogs: administering medications, mobility support, and gentle companionship - Comfortable with dogs with special needs, anxiety, or medical conditions - Excellent communication with pet parents—daily updates, photos, and check-ins are always part of the package!

Pets & animals are a meaningful part of my life. I plan my schedule around the pets I care for to ensure they get the time, attention, and consistency they deserve.

Caring for animals brings me joy and a sense of purpose, so I will make it an essential and fulfilling part of my routine. I don’t offer in-home stays at my place since I live in a small condo with two resident cats, but I’m happy to care for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable. When staying in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and make sure your pet’s routine is followed closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or cuddle sessions.

About: All animals and pets will always have a place in my heart and home. I’ve cared for over 12 dogs (most not my own but we vibed) and 30 cats which included taking in stays! Currently I don’t have a dog of my own since my last passed away. So I’m more than happy to open my doors to give a little more love 💕 If your fur baby needs special care we can discuss further details. I have experience with seizures and pets that require a stricter or alternative diet. My schedule is extremely flexible, if your fur baby has a spontaneous schedule I am more capable of incorporating the pets need and can easily work around it. My home is ALWAYS a pet friendly environment! Any pet that comes through my door is treated and loved like family. Anything that you do at home to make your baby feel loved and cared for, I will adopt. Bonus, I have a fenced yard, with gated stair protection so your fur baby can chill on the deck and watch the sunset.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and I’ve watched many dogs and cats. Whenever my friends go out of town I’m the one to call. At the moment, my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available to board just about anytime of the week and can work my personal schedule around boarding hours. I am currently only available to provide care at the clients home. I will make sure to abide by all of the homes safety measures to ensure the best house and pet care.

“If I could give Urany 50 stars I would! Where to start. Urany took care of my pup for 10 days and was wonderful. From check-ins/report cards which were loaded with photos and cute updates, to always being on time and receptive to our needs and requests, she really did go above and beyond our expectations. I personally was hesitant to find a sitter via Rover as this was my first time booking and I have to say, I couldn’t have been luckier we were able to connect! I was out of the country throughout and knew my fur girl was in the best hands. Urany has over 20 years of dog care experience and it shows. She loved my girl as her own and my pup had a great time! Thank you, Urany!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. My very first pet was a cat, her name was Smoky when I was seven years old. At 11, I got my first puppy, a poodle, and by age 12, I had two more cats, Simba and Tigger. When I was 15, I got my second dog, a border collie named Darcy, who stayed by my side until she passed at 15 years old, she grew up with me and my kids. Even as a child, my parents made sure I was fully responsible for my pets, which taught me how to care for them properly, from grooming to training to making sure they were healthy, exercised, and loved. In 2016, I started offering pet care professionally. Since then, I’ve done part-time dog walking, in-home pet sitting, and boarding dogs in my home while their families are on vacation. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all kinds and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ll treat your pets like my own, with care, respect, and lots of love. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to care for pets throughout the day. I follow a consistent routine every morning, and I truly believe pets thrive on structure and stability, too. I’m flexible when needed, but I love having a daily rhythm, and that helps pets feel safe, calm, and cared for. In My Home Dogs: Your dog will enjoy a safe, welcoming environment with a fenced yard and one friendly resident dogs for company. I take dogs on morning and evening walks and also bring them to dog parks using my Forest Preserve dog park license when appropriate. I follow consistent feeding schedules and provide plenty of playtime, affection, and structure. Cats: While cats may be more independent, I make sure they have their own space, access to fresh water, food, and a clean litter box. I respect their need for quiet and let them come to me on their own terms, but when they want cuddles or play, I’m always ready. In Your Home Dogs: I make sure your dog feels secure in their familiar space by keeping their routine consistent. I’ll follow your feeding schedule, take them for walks, provide any grooming needs you request, and spend time giving them affection and attention, whether that’s playtime or just relaxing nearby. Cats: I understand that cats often do best in their own environment. I’ll make sure litter boxes are kept clean, food and water are refreshed, and any medications or care instructions are followed closely. I’ll also spend time with them so they don’t feel lonely, whether that means playing with their favorite toy or simply sitting nearby to provide quiet companionship.

About: I've been the family pet care taker since I was six years old, I trained them, feed them, walked them, pet sat for them, and groomed them when they'd let me. I started to walk and sit my neighbors dogs when I turned 16. Since then I've been doing it off and on as a side job. Now I would like to make it a full time career. I've always loved animals and will always treat them with the respect they deserve. Looking for local walks and willing to meet & greet. I'm currently a part timer looking for a better job and if I can get some loyal customers then I might not need the part time jobs anymore. I'm constantly aware of where my pets are and what they are doing. Since I'm afraid they might get out the door. Always keep watch.
