Dog Walking Norridge

“Katherine is an excellent dog walker. My dog absolutely loves her, and she is always on time and does everything I’ve asked of her. Katherine gives me great peace of mind that my dog will be walked and played with when I’m at work all day.”

About: I’ve cared for 7 dogs and 2 cats throughout their full life span, from puppyhood and kittenhood to senior years, including pets with special senior care needs. I’m confident handling large dogs and focus on structured walks, mental stimulation, and enriching playtime. As a psychotherapist, patience, intuition, and compassionate care come naturally to me. My schedule is very flexible I'm currently part time and work from home. I can be available on notice from 9am-10pm. I am able to do daily and weekly care/walking/play. I have a fenced yard. Two cats who are used to visitors and other animals. I can also crate animal if requested, use baby fence and adapt to living requirements specific to client needs.

“Michael was great with Rocky. My father had hip surgery two weeks ago so it's a load of stress off my mind that we found someone that can help when my brother or myself are not available. Michael was prompt and professional and sent pics while out on their walks. Rocky really likes him! Will definitely be using again! Thanks Michael!”

“I'll definitely book Jackie again. It's hard to leave your pup in the hands of someone you just met, but Jackie made us feel that Cooper was in good hands. We appreciated her consideration and care with him.”

About: I am a sound healer, wife, mother to my toddler and animals. My husband is a city of chicago worker and we love the chicago area :) We are very active and love to go on long walks and love being outside with our dogs! I absolutely adore cats and love to spend time feeding the feral cats in my neighborhood. In my spare time I also love to go to the local park with my daughter to watch the squirrels and birds. I love nature. I am good with all types of animals and they love me! We have 2 dogs and 3 cats, and some chickens in our backyard. Our dogs are very friendly and love making new friends whenever they can. I truly love watching and meeting new animals and enjoy this type of work. Your pet will love and I cannot wait to meet and take care of them. Please reach out so I can help you with your pet needs! My schedule is open and flexible. My sound healing job varies but typically does not get in the way of pet sitting/ dog walking. Most days I am at home with my toddler or we are out exploring the parks. We have many pets in our home that we care for. I love to work with lists to help me to ensure all tasks are completed and that I am organized.

“My doggies love Nelli! She was very patient and understanding with me when it came to introductions. Now I don’t have to worry about being away from my babies while I’m at work! I’m so glad I found her :)”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life since I was 3 years old. My experience includes dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs up to 14 years old. Growing up with dogs has taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. I regularly care for my family's dogs whenever my parents are out of town, handling daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and providing companionship. In addition, I have cared for dogs and other pets for family members and friends while they travel. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs, my reliability, and the genuine care I provide to every animal I look after. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work hard to maintain their normal routine so they feel happy and secure. As a Physical Therapy student, my weekdays can be busy with classes and studying, but caring for animals remains an important part of my daily routine. Every day, I make sure my pets are fed before I leave for school and again when I return home. I also stay on top of responsibilities such as cleaning the litter box and making sure all of my animals are comfortable and well cared for. My weekends are much more flexible, allowing me to dedicate additional time and attention to pet care. Because I balance a demanding academic schedule with caring for my own pets, I am organized, responsible, and committed to maintaining consistent routines. Pet owners can trust that their animals will receive dependable care, attention, and affection while they are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a comfortable environment for the pet. I understand that pets feel most secure when they can stay in their normal routine, so I make every effort to follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. For dog walks, I will ensure dogs are securely leashed, remain aware of our surroundings, and provide exercise appropriate for their age and energy level. During drop-in visits, I will make sure pets have fresh food and water, clean up after them as needed, and spend quality time giving them attention and companionship. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I am dependable, attentive to details, and committed to keeping owners updated so they can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away.

“Tanya is reliable, dependable, and gives our fur baby all the love and attention we want for her when we are not home, thanks as ever for your TLC! 🐶”

I had experience taking care dogs and cats from all ages, my previous dog Nuka lived until she was 12 years old. I have the best support system available, which is my mom. When I am not available to come for some reason, I know I can always count on her to help me take care of your dog or cat.

“Karina has been one of the top consistent walkers over the past year. Maisey simply adores her and we are blessed she is part of our routine. I would highly recommend her.”

“Jacee is such a great dog walker and person! With having my first puppy, I was a little nervous of leaving her with a stranger. Jacee totally eased those fears when I met her for a meet and greet! Daisy loved her right away. Jacee truly cares about animals, their well being, and communicating with the owners. 10/10 recommend her to anyone!”

I have a lot of free time, so I’m ready to give it to your pets’ pleasures, games, and walks at their pace according to their age. I am from Ukraine, from the city of Kyiv, I have a quick reaction, I know many animal diseases, I know how a pet behaves, and if something bothers him, I can warn the pet owner about it in time. I have two dogs and a cat, I found them on the street and saved them from hunger and cold, my husband is now in Ukraine in the city of Kyiv with our pets in our apartment, men are not allowed out of the country.

I walked with my pets exactly as many times as they asked me to, I am attentive to my pets, I protect them from danger, and I control the entire area while walking with them. If I see that a large pet is coming towards us and I don’t know him, I take my pets away so that a conflict does not occur. I am attentive to all pets.

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!
