Dog Walking North Lawndale

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 15 years through my own pets and helping care for family and friend’s animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and keeping pets on their routines. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love animals, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is fairly flexible and I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. My availability may change as my work schedule changes, but I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure I can commit to the care I agree to provide. I’m happy to work around my schedule when possible and I’m especially flexible on days I’m not working. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, make sure they’re safe and comfortable, and keep their environment clean and secure. I’m respectful of your space and will always be responsible, attentive, and communicative while you’re away.

About: Hi, I'm Erin! Before I entered the world of office work, I was walking dogs and pet sitting professionally for local businesses in Richmond, VA and Naperville, IL. I have 6 years of experience in pet care, including some experience at a groomer and daycare. I love all animals and have worked with and owned all kinds, from exotics, birds, cats, and dogs. I've cared for little puppies still figuring things out as well as the sweet seniors that need a little help eating and getting around. I've also rescued and fostered kittens! I have a personal interest in positive reinforcement training and use it on my own dog. I have been trained to orally medicate, administer shots, and have experience with first aid/CPR. I have a Chihuahua mix who is my heart and soul, so I understand what concerns a pet parent may have. In my free time I like to bike, paint, read, watch movies, go birding, and play video games. I place security and safety of your pet and home at top priority and like to leave things just as good or better than when I came. You'll get photos and updates with each visit if requested so you can rest easy while away. Please don't hesitate to reach out of you have any questions or concerns! I'm available most of the week except for Monday-Friday 6:30am-3:30pm where I work my full time job in medical billing. I work from home so I can be flexible if you are in the area as I have some downtime. I like to leave your house as I found it or better. If there are special instructions (such as door codes, house or pet quirks, crate or feeding instructions) please provide them prior to the visit. If your pup would like some socialization, I'd be happy to bring Mavis along for walks. If you need trash taken out, plants watered, litter boxes scooped, please let me know and I'll take care of it. If you're out of town for a while I like to rotate lights in the house to make it look lived in. Food and water will be checked every visit. I also don't like to use flexi leashes due to possible risks and will use my own 6 ft leash just in case you don't own one. If your pet has any favorite toys, activities, or other special info let me know!

“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.”

“Stavroula has been great! She communicates well and sends me several pictures of my dog Winston doing his business. I actually have two dogs. Winston was just adopted on Christmas Eve and he's a little over a year old. He isn't fully housebroken due to being found as a stray. When she gets here to let him out, he and my other dog Benson get pretty excited. She deals with their mayhem without complaint. I definitely recommend her!”

About: If you're looking for an experienced pet caregiver who cares about the health, safety and care of the animals she looks after, you're in great hands. I have previously worked for Houston Dog Butler where I cared where I focused on cat sitting and dog walking. I will learn about your pet's personality and quirks before we develop a lasting friendship together. I will, without a doubt, give the upmost care for your loved one. I’m currently full time pet-sitting on Rover and have plenty of availability throughout the weekdays and weekends. Send me a request and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible! ❤️ As a cat parent to two myself, I know it takes time and patience to get most cats to warm up to you and I love to learn each pet’s individual quirks.

“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: Hello, I’m Joshua, or “Shua” for short! I’m very personable with both people and pets. I’m a driven, energetic, and playful person who lives for moments of 1 on 1 connection with animals. I don’t have any dogs of my own, but I have accumulated so much pet sitting experience through Rover. I’ve had the privilege of caring for a diverse range of pups, including Black Labs, Retrievers, Shih-Tzus, Goldendoodles.. You name it, I’ve cuddled it! Through my pet sitting experience, I see myself as an adoptive pet parent. I LOVE that my apartment is rarely empty, and a fur baby is always in reach ♥️🐶 I live in the suburban neighborhood of Spring Branch. I love how much there is to do here. It’s great for running, playing, or any other activity a dog’s heart may desire. My apartment complex has a large yard with lots of open space and grass for my furry guests to play. I play soccer competitively and practice every day. I also enjoy running and cooking. My favorite shows are Suits and How I Met Your Mother. I love watching TV with friends and family. I got a 30 on my ACT and take pride in being able to find creative and intelligent solutions to any problem I’m faced with while dog sitting. Feel free to reach out with any questions!! I am an open book and ALWAYS looking to provide a better pet experience with each new booking. I currently work from home. My work schedule is very lax and subject to change in order to accommodate pet care. Of course, making sure that each room is stacked with the proper food, water, and equipment whenever i’m leaving the house is part of my routine, and is of paramount importance to me. I live in a one bedroom apartment. I like to distribute the dogs evenly amongst the bedroom and living room, depending on compatibility between pups. Then the rooms are stacked with toys, food, and water. From there, it’s just a matter of making sure the pups receive adequate exercise. This can be accomplished through ball play in a smaller space, Fetch, or light jogging outside.

About: I've taken care of my family's pets over the years. 1 dog and 8 cats. Pet sitting for my siblings taking care of mostly cata and some guinea pigs. I'm available most weekdays and weekends to take care of your pets. I prefer to work in the mornings from 8 am to 3 pm I have a fenced yard so if your dog stays with me can run around. I like to know your pets personality and patterns to help keep them safe
