Dog Walking Near West Side

About: Hi! I've been taking care of both dogs and cats for 5 years and I have a deep love for both animals! You can count on me to treat every pet with the same exact care and love that I'd want for my own. I have two cats at home (that act like dogs 😁) but I absolutely adore dogs and have worked with all kinds of pets, from high energy pups/kittens to rescues who might need some extra patience and comfort. I genuinely love going for walks, so if you have a dog that needs to burn off energy on longer strolls, they'll be in great hands! I look forward to meeting you and your babies! My schedule is very flexible as I'm only working part time currently, making it easy for me to accommodate specific times. Because I'm generally only out of the house for short 2-3 hour stretches for errands, I have great daytime availability! This allows me to stick strictly to your requested visit times, feeding schedules, and walk routines without delays. Security and safety are my top priorities when entering your home for walks or drop in visits. I always double check that doors, gates, and windows are securely locked behind me, and I completely respect your living space like it's my own. For walks, I keep dogs on a secure leash at all times, stay mindful of hot pavement or extreme weather, and avoid interactions with other animals or off leash dogs, just to be safe! During drop ins, I do check the area for any hazards, make sure fresh water is always available, and stick strictly to your instructions for feeding, medication, or entry/exit rules.

“Maliq was super friendly, communicative, and thorough. Milton just loved him and we will definitely reaching back out.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Diana is the absolute sweetest. Both of my pets love her so much. She’s fabulous about updates and always follows feeding and medication instructions to the letter.”

About: Lifelong cat person in the West Loop with a senior cat of my own. - professional puke cleaner - I can read cat body language and can provide comfort, play, or space depending on their mood - np for any tech request, photo texts, automated notifications, etc - down for dog walks too! Just can't do boarding due to cat at home =) Schedule is wide open right now, so visits follow your cat's routine, not mine. - Early feedings, 9pm dinners, twice a day, last-minute or long trips: all fine - No kids, no dog. Just a senior cat who wants me off her side of the couch - I have a car, so a delayed flight or an unplanned visit isn't a problem - I already walk a few miles a day, so dog walks aren't a detour Your home only. I don't board, my own cat vetoed houseguests years ago. - Written instructions followed exactly. Keys stay on me, door locked behind me every time, then a text that I'm out - Meet and greet first, so I know if they're a door-darter, which doors stay shut, and who your vet is - Leash on before the door opens, stays on the whole walk - Not eating, odd litter box, limping, hiding somewhere new? You hear it right away, with a photo - Can't reach you and it's urgent, they go to your vet

“Thank you!”

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!
