Dog Walking In Near West Side Chicago

“Leila is fabulous! We need a last second walk for our pups. She came to our house to get the pups. Our friend that was there earlier in the day left the leashes in the wrong place and Leila was patient enough to search for them. It delayed her walk quite a bit but she didn’t shorten their walk. She took great care of our pups and gave them treats. Her report was thorough and detailed, which helped alleviate any worry I had for our pups. Thanks Leila!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, from raising my own cats to looking after family and friends’ dogs of many breeds—from tiny chihuahuas to energetic pit bulls and rottweilers. At times, I’ve cared for up to 12 cats at once and have also watched multiple dogs together. I specialize in kitten care, including bottle-feeding and supporting kittens as young as two weeks old. I’m experienced in building trust, introducing litter box training, and handling the special needs of both young and senior pets. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each animal’s personality and needs whether it’s keeping up with an active dog, giving a shy cat patience, or providing round-the-clock care for newborn kittens. I treat every pet like family. As a college student, my schedule is very flexible. I’m available after 4 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and after 1 PM on Thursdays. Weekends are also open for visits, feedings, playtime, or overnight care, giving me plenty of time to make sure your pet feels loved and cared for Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your routine closely to keep things consistent and stress-free, while staying attentive to behavior and any changes. I have experience with both cats and dogs of all ages and adapt my care to each pet’s needs. I treat every home with respect and every pet with patience and care.

“Annie is an absolute gem. From day one, she’s been kind, reliable, and so clearly passionate about animals. My dog Mabel lights up the moment Annie walks through the door — she quite literally sprints to her leash! Annie has such an intuitive way with dogs; she understands Mabel’s quirks, matches her energy, and makes every walk fun and enriching. Her communication is excellent — I always get thoughtful updates and the cutest photos that capture how happy Mabel is. It’s such a comfort knowing my pup is in caring, capable hands. Annie doesn’t just walk dogs — she builds real connections with them. If you’re lucky enough to book her, you’ll quickly see why Mabel and I trust her completely. She’s the kind of walker every pet parent hopes to find.”

About: Hi! I’m Hillary, a lifelong dog lover based in the West Loop. I understand pets are family, and when you leave them with someone else, you want the same care, attention, and safety you’d give them yourself. I spent 14 years with my sweet mutt from childhood through college and then had a goofy giant schnauzer, both taught me how much personality can live in one dog. I have now been fostering dogs for the past few months while I work from home and have learned to be attentive to each unique pet’s quirks, routines, and comfort needs. I’ve also gotten a crash course in all things training with our most recent puppy and I am happy to keep your cues consistent and continue the work you’ve done if you have a younger pup! Whether your dog loves long walks, couch snuggles, or a consistent routine, I’m happy to adapt to make them feel at home. I’m dependable, communicative, and will send regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing and what we are up to. I work from part-time and from home, so I have the time, flexibility, and patience to give them the attention and love they deserve while you are away or at work. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow their routine closely, provided a calm environment, and make sure they are always supervised, secured, and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home part-time, and am able to host pets in my home while I work or take pups on walks throughout the day. Having pets in our home is dependent on if we are currently fostering a pet or not, so please inquire! In our home, we have a baby gate as well as a play pen (for indoors or outdoors). We can confine the pup to the first floor so there are no stairs to fall or trip on, and we have the downstairs fully dog-proofed! I can work from downstairs while they are in the pen, or they can have free roam and cozy up on our modular couch. Or they can be closer to us, hanging in the office upstairs or in our bedroom. I also have a large, cozy crate, if needed. We have a small side "yard" area where we can take them out the side door without the commotion of the street and sidewalk.

“Eunice was wonderful! She was extremely responsive and communicative and asked lots of questions to make sure she gave our pup the best care.”

“Jacob was my first dog walker for Bear. He arrived later than booked but communicated his arrival. Jacob was able to answer my questions and we spoke about Bear and his behavior. Jacob returned with a happy pup after an hour. I like the report card that shows the walk they went on. I would recommend.”

About: I have lived on a farm my whole life ever since moving to the city, so I have years of experience working with all times of animals. I have dog sat for many years and have 2 dogs of my own. As well as multiple barn cats and chickens. I have trained both my dogs and horses as well. I currently go to school full time and attend classes 3x a week. I also work part time but my schedule is very flexible! When I am not studying or working, i love to go on walks and I miss walking my dog and spending time with my fur babies since I am away for college! I live in very pet friendly apartment complex and I will make sure to constantly have your fur baby in my peripheral vision so they are never in harms way.

“She is wonderful, reliable, prompt, and loves my dog like her own. Highly recommend.”

“Anthony was a fantastic walker for my dog! He did a great job of being adaptable based on multiple factors, including her needs and the weather. I would absolutely trust him to work with her again(:”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was young, and I truly treat every pet like part of my family. Neighbors, friends, and relatives have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and give lots of love to their pets. I have experience with puppies, energetic dogs, senior pets, and cats of all personalities. My goal is always to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I have free mornings every day, which allows me plenty of time to focus on walks, playtime, and caring for pets. In the afternoons I also have some flexibility, and on certain weekends I can adjust my schedule to make sure pets get the attention they need. My routine gives me the ability to provide consistent, reliable, and loving care for dogs and cats. I provide loving and reliable care for both dogs and cats. I have a spacious home where pets have plenty of room to play and relax. I also have a small dog and a cat who are very friendly and will be great companions for your pets during their stay. With years of experience caring for animals, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved as if they were my own.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and compassionate pet caregiver with hands-on experience fostering pets for years. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs—helping them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they wait for their forever homes. Fostering has given me experience with everything from shy, anxious animals to energetic puppies and pets requiring extra patience or special care. I treat every animal like my own, paying close attention to their routines, behaviors, and well-being. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles and reassurance, you can count on me to provide them attentive, reliable care with lots of belly rubs guaranteed. I am currently working from home so I’m free all day throughout the week. I have a puppy that I’m house training so bathroom breaks are frequent. I also go on runs so high energy dogs are welcome to join along but couch potatoes get their love too. I have a fenced in yard for the dogs to play in and there is plenty of space for crates for decompression time and lots of space inside to roam around!

About: I love caring for homes and pets in a very hands-on way, not just feedings, but keeping gardens, pets, and spaces beautiful and thriving while owners are away. I've spent time caring for both pets and homes for friends and family and on Rover. I'm most comfortable with dogs and cats, including seniors who may need extra patience or medication. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. I'm equally experienced at caring for homes, keeping things tidy, watering plants, collecting mail, and ensuring everything is just as you left it. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m an online student so pet-care fits naturally into my routine. I structure my days around walks, feeding, play, and companionship, ensuring pets receive consistent attention, calm presence, and gentle engagement throughout the day. I care for pets in their own home with respect for their routine and environment. I prioritize safety, clear communication, cleanliness, calm energy, and following all instructions closely.

“Càel has been great with our dog! Always consistent with her walks and gets a great walk in for the time. My dog has greatly enjoyed her time with her and we will continue to use her in the future.”
