Dog Walking North Center

“They helped me with daily walks for a 6 week period. They were always on time and friendly. My schedule was a little inconsistent and they worked with me to make sure everything was set up in the app correctly. I highly recommend.”

“Rebecca took our pup on a nice long walk, and gave a detailed update with great communication throughout. I'd highly recommend to anyone looking to get their dog a little exercise and/or bathroom break! A++”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of lots of different animals throughout my life. I have owned dogs, cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, and other small animals. I worked in a veterinary hospital for 1.5 years and have provided medical care to pets in lots of different capacities. I am excited to get to care for your pet! I am a graduate student at DePaul taking a full load of classes, meaning I have availability starting in the early afternoon throughout the evening! I provide in-home care for pets, whether it be a quick check in during the day or a longer term stay! I think that animals are most comfortable in their own home, so I prefer to come to you!

“Seems to have had a great walk with Addy! Covered some great distance which is always appreciated for my active girl. Did come back closer to 45 min instead of the hour I paid for but possibly due to the heat is my guess. Overall great job.”

About: I regularly volunteer with local shelters taking care of cats and dogs of all ages and breeds. Personally, have grown up with dogs and cats. I travel for work, when home in Chicago I am home and off from work 100% willing to provide flexible and my full attention to your pet. Mostly weekday availability. In a pet friendly apartment in Chicago near many dog friendly parks and walking trails. No pets in our house, so your pet will have my full attention.

About: From a very young age I was surrounded by animals. I cared for sheep, pigs, horses, rabbits, cats, and dogs on a daily basis. Most of the animals were rescues so I'm comfortable with all personalities and have experience with those who may need time to warm up. My experience with dog sitting became more consistent while I was living in Seattle. Now that I’m established in Chicago I’m looking to meet more furry friends. I work part-time as an aesthetician so my schedule is very flexible. I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is flexible. On days that I have to go to work I will still be available to visit in the morning and at night. I want to keep your pet as comfortable as possible while making sure you are at ease during your time away from them. This means sticking to routines and learning their quirks. Is there a silly dance we have to do to get them to eat dinner? Send me the choreography. Do they prefer to be left alone but you’d like them to have some social time? I’ll find a quiet spot in the house and wait for them to decide if they’d like to engage. Is there a street we need to avoid because a neighbor has a reactive dog in the yard? I’ll be sure we walk the normal route and hit all their favorite spots.

“Josh took such great care of the girls! They had a great time walking with Josh!”

“Kayla was great with Dottie. She was very punctual and provided helpful updates after their walks, so I knew my girl was in good hands while I was at work.”

About: Animals have always been a special part of my life. My home has never been without something furry or scaled or shelled. In addition to caring for my own dogs and cats over the years, I have enjoyed walking dogs and doing dog sitting and cat sitting for many friends and neighbors. I am loving, reliable and safety focused. I am also conscientious to clean up any pet mess and respect your home. I am home based and looking to fill my days and my heart with animals. My kids are in school so my schedule revolves around dropping them off and picking them up in the morning in the afternoon. As a life long pet owner myself, I know how much you care about your fur baby. I love mine too. I take a very safe, loving and risk adverse approach to pet care. I will take the time to learn from you about your pet to understand the specifics of how you want care to be handled and will follow those instructions. I am able to do walks, water checks, feedings, play time and accident clean-up if needed. I am comfortable working with pets on skills that need to be practiced and am comfortable administering oral medications if needed. I also have experience with rabbits and turtles. I look forward to loving your pet.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and quirks, and I make it a priority to learn what makes yours happy and comfortable. Whether it's walks, playtime, or feeding schedules I’ll cater to your dog’s needs. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I'm around for most of the day. I have a long lunch break that's perfect for a midday walk or potty break, and I'm usually done with work by around 4pm, which leaves my evenings open for walks, playtime, and feeding. For walks, I stick to your dog's usual route and pace, keep them leashed and under control, and pick up after them. I'll let you know how the walk went, including bathroom breaks and anything worth noting. For drop-in visits, I follow your routine for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and any medications. I also spend time playing or hanging out with your pet so they're not just getting the basics. Before I leave, I make sure your home is locked up and everything is as you left it, and I'll send you an update with photos!

“Adriana is lovely! She was able to accommodate walking my puppy on very short notice and has been a sweet and responsible dog walker for Ruby since then. She is kind, reliable and it is easy to communicate with her about my puppy's needs. Thanks, Adriana!”

About: My entire life i've had furry loved ones by my side; cats, pups, fish, pigs and everything in between! My compassion for them is my priority so you have one less thing to worry about while you're away. Happy to administer medications for both cats and dogs. I work from home and my schedule is flexible and available any day of the week. Happy to do a quick drop-in, walk, or all day sitting. I work from home in Lincoln Square and my hours are very flexible and I’m easy to reach. I'm also happy to water your plants, pick up package deliveries, or whatever else!

“Victoria was wonderful with Parker! We really appreciated how attentive she was to the little details and how much she genuinely cared about him. It was clear she took his walks seriously and made sure he was happy and comfortable. We felt great knowing Parker was in such good hands!”

Derick G.

“Faye continues to do a wonderful job walking my senior dog and my reactive dog. She is punctual and communicates well in advance when she’s not available. My dogs enjoy their nice walk and seems happy each day. Thank you!”
