Dog Walking In Near West Side Chicago

“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: Hi, my name is Vitaliy! I have experience working with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I’ve completed over 100 services, including dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I treat every animal with patience, care, and attention, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I’m a calm, reliable, and responsible person who truly loves animals. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a senior dog, or a shy cat, I always adapt to each pet’s individual needs and carefully follow all owner instructions. I’m very punctual, detail-oriented, and committed to providing the best care possible. During walks or sittings, I’m happy to send updates, messages, and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is doing well. Thank you for considering me — I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and can adjust to meet your pet’s needs. I’m available all day on weekends and on weekdays depending on the day, giving me plenty of time for walks, play, and attention. This allows me to provide consistent care, companionship, and love for your furry friend whenever needed. I always prioritize pets’ safety and comfort. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, usually in the client’s home, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment.

I provide attention, playtime, and supervision at all times to ensure their well-being.

About: I unfortunately have not had the pleasure of having a dog in my youth so to make up for it I’ve taken care of dogs from my family and friends! I’ve handled feeding, walks, dog sitting and giving oral medication. Update: I’ve been sitting for a lot of cats recently (YAY) so cat owners don’t be scared. I’m here to help! I’m familiar with play, cleaning litter boxes, giving wet food (with or without a little bit of water), and lots of pets. I work part time during the week. It’s not shown on the Rover calendar but I’m available from 2pm-4pm on MW, 2pm-6pm on Thursdays, 2-4pm on Fridays and 9am-6pm on weekends for drop ins and walks (longer hours for house sitting of course). I’m currently getting my masters online which is why my hours don’t completely fall into the Rover options but I’ll try to be as accommodating as possible! How I care for pets within the clients home is completely up to you! We can do feedings, play, go on walks, etc. Whichever way you’re comfortable with me being in your space with your furry friend :). Let me know how you want me to provide for them and it’ll be done!

“Eunice did a great job communicating AND being independent with taking care of Zoey. She provided a great update and managed to capture Zoey’s full personality in her report card and photos. We will definitely book with Eunice again!”

“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 have been around dogs my entire life and grew up with several Golden Retrievers, which helped me build a strong understanding of their care and personalities. From feeding and grooming to exercise and playtime, I learned how to keep dogs happy and healthy from an early age. I also had a corgi of my own, which gave me experience with smaller breeds and their unique needs. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and truly loved. I’m currently a grad student so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time during my week to work around both you and your pet’s schedule. Your pet’s safety comes first. I provide a calm, secure environment, follow routines closely, communicate clearly, and treat every pet and home with care, respect, and attention.

About: I’ve have ample experience raising dogs- though now I find myself a cat mom of 4 haha! I’m originally from Houston and would volunteer at the rodeo and shelter pretty adamantly. I’d enjoy my time advocating and caring for animals at the shelter and spay/neuter pop up events for those in need. In my neighborhood I managed to TNR over a dozen colony cats in my area and was able to send a couple young ones to happy homes :) Additionally, I have my Fear Free Shelter certification and am CPR and First Aid certified, too. My heart has always had a soft spot for pets and making them feel loved and safe as if they’re my own. My motto has always been there are no bad pets just sticky situations and certain accommodations we need to make to keep them at peace. I am freshly new to the city and wanting to make some warm connections involving my passion of animal care and wellbeing. My schedule is very flexible and open at the moment so it’s a perfect chance to explore and work on short notice. I currently have a studio but would love to house sit and do drop in visits for those in Chicago or near west loop. My goal would be to make the pet as comfortable as possible as well as bonding with the animal and humans involved haha.

“Amazing! So helpful, timely and professional”

About: I’ve have had cats and dogs! I will watch both as long as they get along. They’re more than welcome to stay. My older dog loves cats. She would be ecstatic to have a new cat friend. My puppy would love the exposure and friend to play with! I am currently home full times so whatever the pet needs, I am more than available to take care of them. Whether it’s walking, watching, training, medication, or just some extra snuggles. I have a constant eye on my animals and follow all the protocols and rules if we are stepping out of the house. I’m aware of where they are at all times. Being vigilant to our surroundings and how to help them distress.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was young, and I truly treat every pet like part of my family.
