“I have been using Pablo for over a year consistently twice weekly for dog walks. He is always highly reliable, flexible, responsive, and takes the best care of my dog. I was highly skeptical about using a dog walking service for the first time but I could not have gotten a better walker. I am so thankful for Pablo taking such genuine care of my dog.”

About: I am a recent college grad from Indiana University with my degree in animal behavior. I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, and the love I had for them pushed me to pursue a career in caring for animals. I also spent this past summer working at the Lincoln Park Zoo as a behavior and husbandry intern, learning how to be a zookeeper through shadow days. Before that I worked at a science museum in Indiana where I cared for the fish, reptiles, amphibians, and insects that lived there. I am in between jobs at the moment because my internship recently ended, this means I am available to come by any time. I am currently looking for new job opportunities so this is subject to change in the future. I am very respectful of other people's homes, and I will ensure that when your animals are in my care I will do whatever I can to keep them safe, happy, and feeling loved.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I have taken care of, walked, fed and boarded many pets since I was 8 years old. I have a deep love for dogs and can't wait to make your dogs day better! I also have experience taking care of cats and giving medications to cats and dogs. I am currently working part time so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to pet sitting. I also have reliable transportation to get to your pets when needed. I do not have any pets in my home so I can give my undivided attention to your fur babies! I live right by a lot of parks and walking areas.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and am completely obsessed with them! My current pup turns 4 this November (stop growing up 🥹), and before him, I had a dog for 16 years, so I’ve experienced everything from puppy energy and zoomies to senior care. I know how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to leave them with someone you can truly trust. Since high school, I’ve also regularly cared for and walked neighbors’, friends’, and family members’ dogs. I’ve helped with everything from walks and playtime to overnight stays, including having dogs stay at my home or staying at their homes while their owners are away. I genuinely love giving dogs lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, and exercise. I’m very active and especially love going on walks and keeping pups moving and entertained! I’m comfortable with puppy energy, feeding/fueling, keeping them on their routines, and even coming home with plenty of dirty paws 😂. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently completely free until September 8th that I start a clinical. During clinical my hrs will typically be M-F 8-4:30 pm, with an occasional working Saturday (Oct 3rd & 24th) and in that case, I’d have a day of the week off. So definitely communicate with me or request to book incase I am free. I know my schedule is a bit limited with clinical but I am open to walk dogs after the shifts in evenings! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and will keep things clean and secure. I’m also attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and other potential safety concerns so your pet stays safe while in my care. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel comfortable, loved, and at ease while you’re away. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands! I currently live in a one bed one bath apartment with a big balcony space with a doggy area in my building and next to Washington Park where there’s grass and plenty of other dogs to mingle. There’s plenty of space to walk around to take on long or potty walks.

About: I help young pets build confidence and good habits through calm, structured training — from creating predictable routines and gentle boundaries to crate comfort, potty consistency, and supervised socialization with all reinforced with positive, steady guidance that makes learning feel safe and fun for every puppy. I work fully remote, so my days are wonderfully flexible and full of time to give your pup attention, play, and comfort. I love having dogs around while I work — it makes the day brighter — and I’m able to adjust my routine to fit whatever your pet needs. Whether it’s weekday walks, daytime care, or weekend boarding, I’m available and happy to help. Your dog becomes part of my daily rhythm, and I make sure they feel seen, loved, and never rushed. I create a warm, safe, and happy environment where pets can relax and feel at home. Because I’m always around during the day, I can give your dog consistent supervision, gentle structure, and plenty of affection. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines steady, and make sure every pup feels secure. My home is calm, clean, and full of kindness — a place where your dog can settle in, enjoy their time, and be treated like family

Farren was fantastic! I appreciate her patience and willingness to care for my two lovable but somewhat chaotic pups. She did a great job trying to help stick to their routine and make sure they got plenty of pets and love in addition to their regular needs. I also loved the cute update pics throughout the weekend. I would hire Farren again in a heartbeat! Thank you!!

Claire helped us out when we had a cancellation from someone else. Our dog can be a bit particular about strangers and leashes but Claire did an amazing job of making her comfortable and getting her out for some long walks. Claire was communicative, sent plenty of pictures, and was always on time. We’ll definitely use Claire in the future!

Anna was absolutely amazing with Nola! She was reliable, caring, and went above and beyond every time. I especially loved that she would even stay a little after their walks just to spend extra time playing with Nola. 🥹 It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Nola was with someone who genuinely cared about her and wasn’t just there to walk her and leave. I would 100000/10 recommend Anna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog walker! Nola and I absolutely loved her! 🐾💕 Thank you Anna!
