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 have 11 years of personal experience caring for pets, including both dogs and cats. I’m a loving, patient, and responsible pet owner who understands that every animal has its own personality, needs, and routine. I have cared for a dog for four years and have had my Canadian Sphynx cat for seven years. These experiences have taught me the importance of gentle, attentive, and consistent care. I enjoy spending time with animals, going for walks, playing, and providing companionship. I will carefully follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same kindness and care I give my own! I have a flexible schedule and can arrange my day to provide attentive, reliable care for pets. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their regular routines, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and companionship. I will communicate with pet parents to coordinate visits and make sure their pets receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. I will do my best to make your pet feel safe and comfortable. I will follow your instructions, respect your home, and provide your pet with food, fresh water, and attention as needed. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable while you are away.

“Joanna was everything we could have asked for (especially our puppy, who loved her). She was early every time, excited to walk our pup, took her out for a long time and brought her back bright eyed and bushy tailed. She even cleaned doggo when she decided to roll in fox poop while on a walk. I highly recommend her for dog care!”

Kristine T.

“We had a great experience with Jenny! She was right on time and kept us updated throughout the walk. Our dog was happy and well cared for. We were very pleased and will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!”

“Faith has been such a super help with walking my two dogs while I am at work with long days. She’s incredibly reliable, communicative, and flexible/understanding if my schedule varies week by week. The peace of mind I get knowing that my boys are taken care of during the day is worth every penny! Would highly recommend booking with Faith!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life. I couldn't have one at home so I would always go to family and friends to help pet sir or walk whenever they needed it. Once I got a place of my own I started fostering dogs and cats for people who found animals on the street. I specialize with aggressive animals and have done lots of training for puppies and seniors as well. I've never met an animal that didn't take well to me hence why I am the animal whisperer. This is currently my full time job while I'm studying to be a mechanic. I'm in the process of getting my certifications on my own so my schedule is very flexible. I always make sure to check the boundaries set by you always. Safety is everything in this line of work. I've had little ones of my own and they meant the world to me. I'll treat them and protect them as if they were my own kids.

About: Hi! Im Cailey. Im a sophomore in college studying to become a veterinarian. I previously worked at a pet hotel for two years as a daycare attendant, groomer, and reactive dog handler. I am comfortable with breeds of all sizes and temperaments. While working at the pet hotel I was also trained on how to administer various medications both oral and injection, and I was trained in pet cpr and how to read the body language of a dog. I have three large breed dogs of my own, two of which I took to professional trainers and my most recent rescue I trained myself. I am not a professional trainer but I am quite educated on the subject! Please reach out for any grooming, pet care, or training inquires! Thank you. My dogs wake me up every morning around 7-8 to go potty and for breakfast. I take one or two of my dogs each morning to run with me. I live right next to a park we usually do two laps of. After then my dogs pretty much entertain each other until dinner time. In other peoples homes I treat them as if they were my own! Well talk everything over in person of course but just leave me detailed instructions and I will do my best to follow them to a T!

“She is awesome! She was able to help me with very short notice. Walked BOTH my puppies and went above and beyond for me and my babies! I will absolutely be booking with her again!”

About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Throughout my life, I've shared my home with six dogs of my own and several foster dogs. Additionally, I have experience raising puppies, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with different needs and temperaments. Years ago, I worked in a veterinary clinic, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals and assisting with their medical needs. Because of that experience, I am comfortable administering medications, including pills and injections, if needed. I currently work primarily from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Your pet will never be left alone for more than six hours, and in most cases, they'll enjoy having me nearby throughout the day. I live in a single-family home with a secure fence around the whole property, giving dogs plenty of safe space to run, play, explore, and burn off energy. I have my own dog, River, about half the time, as I share custody with my ex. River is wonderful with other dogs; her favorite thing is creating a "puppy pile" by curling up next to—or sometimes right on top of—whoever happens to be nearby. If your dog enjoys canine companionship, they'll likely have a new cuddle buddy. My love for animals extends beyond dogs. I adopted an elderly cat from a family friend who could no longer care for her, and I also adopted a turtle from a friend who moved. My turtle now enjoys a comfortable home in a spacious 100-gallon aquarium. Providing animals with safe, enriching environments is something I genuinely enjoy. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away. Pet parents describe me as patient, caring, responsible, and communicative. I believe regular updates and clear communication provide peace of mind, and I'll treat your pet with the same kindness and attention I give my own animals. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home most days. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. On the days I go into the office, I am never gone all day—typically no more than six hours at a time. When caring for dogs in my home, I provide frequent opportunities for them to play and go potty in my fully fenced yard. I strive to make pets feel comfortable and secure by maintaining a consistent routine, providing fresh water, feeding them according to their schedule, and giving them plenty of attention and enrichment. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals that require medication, including administering pills and injections when needed. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow the routines and instructions provided. I know that pets are often most comfortable when their schedules remain consistent, so I prioritize maintaining their normal feeding, exercise, medication, and bedtime routines. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they are away.

“Joshua walks our dog everday during the week and he is great. We can tell by the pictures our dog enjoys his time with Josh. He will also contact me or my fiancee if anything is out of the ordinary. I highly recommend using Joshua as a dogwalker!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life! And I worked at a dog shelter for 8 months before going to school and I loved every second of it! I do have a job! However I will do my best to make time usually dog check in are best at the moment or dog walking! I have two cats! Who are my world!! But I’ve worked with dogs for years I worked at a dog shelter and it was my favorite job ever!

“We were very nervous about trusting our furbabies to someone we didn't know, but reading her profile was very helpful and she embodied that same warmth and expertise in person. This helped quell our anxiety tremendously. Jo was so in tune with our pups, that she had one of our more rambunctious pups sitting for her within 5 seconds of her arrival. Apollo & Zoe are looking forward to their next walk with Jo.”

About: Hi, I’m Veronica! I’ve been a dedicated pet sitter for 7 years and a veterinary technician, currently working at an emergency veterinary hospital that cares for dogs, cats, and exotic animals. My experience allows me to confidently care for pets with special medical needs, including administering medications, injections, fluids, and more. I also offer routine care services such as nail trims, ear cleanings ect. I am CPR certified and trained to handle emergencies with calm expertise. While you’re away, I provide daily updates and photos so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands. Feel free to message me with any questions!

“Rollo & Vidar have loved their first couple of walks with Kenya! Two big Labs can be an handful, but Kenya has done wonderfully with them and we look to many more walks with her.”

About: Hi, my name is Matt! I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog walker based right here in Chicago. I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs as well as my family’s, and I know how important it is to trust the person walking your pup. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk through the neighborhood, or just some extra playtime, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and happy. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities—from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. Your dog’s safety and joy are always my top priorities. I treat every pup as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection along the way. I’d love to meet your furry friend and make their walks the best part of their day! 🐾 Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine. I walk my own dog every day, and I regularly care for my family’s dogs as well. That means feeding, walking, playing, and giving them the attention they need is already built into my schedule. Because of this, adding Rover clients into my week feels seamless—I’m used to organizing my day around pet care and making sure dogs get plenty of exercise, love, and consistency. I also keep a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit in morning, afternoon, or evening walks depending on what works best for each pup and their owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. That includes feeding on schedule, refreshing water, giving daily walks, playtime, and of course lots of love and attention. I’m careful to keep the home clean, follow any special instructions (like medications or diet needs), and make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. If pets are with me in my home, I provide a safe, welcoming environment where they’re treated like family. They’ll have space to relax, regular walks, and plenty of play and cuddle time. My priority is making sure every pet feels happy, secure, and cared for—just like they would with their own family.

About: Ready to work hard and safe to take good care of your four-legged best friend! At your service for walks, sitting, driving to appointments, and any other basic pet care! I've been hired my neighbors, relatives, and family friends before to house sit/ pet sit. I think it's important to be careful and respectful at all times, to report any issues immediately, and treat the pet with the kindness and fun they usually receive from their owner! My family has previously kept a dog, geckos, a chameleon, fish, a rabbit,and a bird. My hobbies include chess, bowling, music and concerts, hiking and running. I'm located in the near-west suburbs but I have my own car so I'm happy to go anywhere around Chicagoland! Take care! currently working a flex position at Camp McKean for community and outdoor recreation. off all day on Sundays Mondays and Tuesdays. Rest of the week I could dog sit before or after work. Early morning or evening. I will always top off a pet's water bowl, take an inventory of supplies like poop bags, toys, where food is, etc. with Rover gigs before I've taken pictures and videos for the client to let them know how everything's going 😀

“Abby was great with our Zeke, who can be picky sometimes. She is professional and caring for our Zeke. I know he is in good hands when Abby walks him”
