About: I have dogs at home, so I’m very comfortable caring for them and understanding their needs. I’ve also helped house sit with my mom, taking care of dogs by feeding, walking, and giving them lots of attention. I’m reliable and genuinely enjoy being around animals. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I’m used to being around and caring for animals. I plan my schedule so I have plenty of time for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’m reliable with routines and make sure pets get consistent care, attention, and exercise throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable, whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and have lots of attention. I also keep their space clean and safe, and I always follow any specific instructions the owner provides.

Donna was great to our puppy. She is communicative and trust wordy. Our little ball of energy would come tired from a walk. Definitely would use her again. Thank you Donna

Highly recommend booking Viviana as a dog walker. She did a great job with our two pups, especially our older dog who can be a little feisty. She is very responsive and even came to meet our dogs beforehand to make sure she could provide them the best care possible.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old! I have had my own cockapoo since 2014 and have also routinely taken care of dogs of friends and family since then. I have experience walking neighborhood dogs of mostly small to medium sizes. I love spending time with my own dog and miss having him around while I am away at school. Dogs bring me a lot of joy, and I love getting to know the unique personality of every dog that I take care of! I am very excited to spend time with your dog :) I am currently a part-time student at Northwestern, so my schedule is very flexible! I am generally available Sunday through Wednesday as well as Saturday anytime after 11am. I am happy to walk your dog for however long is necessary as well as doing check-ins during the day while you are away!

Anna is amazing! She has been walking our pup every day for the past few months. Anna not only walks Charlie but actually spends time playing with him and training him - she even taught him the paw command! Anna sends very detailed reports and lots of cute pictures after every walk. Being first time puppy owners we feel so lucky to have Anna looking after our pup!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have spent the past few years helping care for all sorts of fur babies ! I’ve helped with dog walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m obsessed with all fur babies and I’m very comfortable handling all sizes and all breeds! We don’t discriminate😆 I am super accommodating! I love going on walks and how cute to have a little companion to get my steps in with! Over the years I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and love are when it comes to caring for animals. I always make sure every fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every single one like they’re my own.
