“Bill is a reliable dog walker. He was great with our dog, Bella. He was flexible when adding extra walks last minute. He is also very responsive. I highly recommend his services to others.”

About: I am part of a family of 6 which includes 3 daughters and our sweet dog named Willow. We would love to host your furry family member. I have over 13 years of experience with friends and family members who have pets in their home. I have a yard for fun and I love nice walks around the park across the street. We even take rides in the car to explore some more. Your furry family member will become a part of my family as long as they are in my home. I will care for it as directed and go beyond your expectations. Give me a try and you will not be disappointed. I look forward to working with you and your furry friend!
“Donna and her partner, Steven, are a great team. They took good care with our little guy, who is 14 and a little deaf and losing his eyesight. They are very kind and trustworthy and will use them again.”
“Ella was amazing! Arrived on time and our dog loved her. She was also available when we needed extra help for long days! She was excellent and we will definitely use her again! Thank you Ella”
“Tamara's great! While she was on vacation, Mosie had another dog walker whom he also liked but he and I are both excited to have Tamara back! She adjusts her schedule to meet Mosie's needs and truly cares about him; the dogs she walks are not just job and the dogs can tell that she cares.”
About: I had dogs growing up and my own dog in my 20's/30's in downtown chicago. Crate trained early in my dog's life. Now, I have two loving tweens who want a dog more than anything & will do walks or anything needed. Completely fenced in backyard. Very walkable suburban blocks. Will happily comply with whatever "treats" parameters you wish, food schedule needed. We only offer Rover availability when we have the days to devote to your dog. We are home-bodies at heart. Looking for a dog to be the center of our world for the few days we can offer. Your dog will be a member of our family. Easy to get out to our backyard with our sliding door off family room. We will feed your dog in our kitchen when instructed. Your dog could sleep with 1 of us in bed unless you prefer and dog prefers to be in their own dog bed/crate etc. You let us know where you'd want him/her to be.
“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.”
“Rosy was simply amazing!! She was responsible, professional, personable and an excellent communicator. I really appreciated her detailed report after each walk. Rafa loved her and we are thrilled we found the perfect person we can count on and trust for the next time we are out of town. Rosy is the best!!”
About: I truly love animals and with a fenced in yard, a dog would have a lot of fun playing outside and going on walks with me and our dog! My husband and I both work from home so the dog would not be alone much. I will do most of the walks in which we will walk through the park close to our home as well as through our neighborhood. My husband takes our dog on an evening walk as well. We also have a sweet, 16 year old tabby cat. Our cat is fine with dogs and know when to find her hiding spots when she needs time to herself. I grew up with big dogs and have had cats in my home most of my life. Our dog is very friendly with dogs and cats. We do have two children 10 years and older who also like animals.
About: Hi! I will treat your fur babies as my own! I have had pets in my home since I was 6 years old and they were my sole responsibility. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I am able to administer medications on a timely manner and will always send plenty of photos while in my care. I have shared custody of Cocoa if you prefer a household without pets I can accommodate. Thank you! I have no current other obligations than the pets in my home. I rarely leave doggies unattended and have a large fenced in backyard. My kids are grown and at college. I have a sweet senior female cockapoo who loves the company of other fur babies. She and I love to go on walks but when the weather is bad we can pop outside for a quick potty break.
“Jenny was amazing with Shortcake. She took my chunk out on walks for me twice a day while I was away on a business trip. I love the photo updates and could tell that shortcake was really enjoying her time. I came hope to a very happy and well adjusted dog. I highly recommend Jenny!”

Lacey was comfortable with Josh immediately! I can tell Josh is an animal lover and took great care of Lacey. He also was great about communicating and sent me pictures and updates of how she did on their walk. Josh is very reliable and came on time for Lacey’s walk. I will definitely reach out to Josh again!
