Dog Walking Northwoods

“Shilah provided such great care for Bilbo! We were so lucky she could step in last minute to be there for him!”

“Naja was pleasant and Chaos was his usual self around her. She was open to me being an helicopter mom. XL furbabies can be very intimidating.”

“Isabelle is wonderful with our dogs. She walks our dogs 2-3 times a week and it has worked out very well!! She will also be house sitting for us this summer.”

“Molly was super communicative and flexible. I was out of town and my sister ended up giving birth a few weeks early and our dogs who were left alone for quite a few hours while my sister and brother-in-law were at the hospital. I ended up booking Molly day and she help coordinate walking times for the both of them and then even spend some time hanging out with them in the house due to the hot weather it was such a relief having Molly step in and help us during such a stressful and unexpected but eventful, and happy time.”

About: I love dogs and taking care of them! Growing up I have always had a dog in my household. As soon as I turned 18 I got 2 puppies of my own! I know how hard it is to have to leave your pups at home alone so I would love to be able to take your dogs out and give them the enrichment they need! I have experience with seniors dogs and puppies and can also give medications if needed. I am currently a full time college student. I have full availability on weekends. During the week I am usually available early in the morning (before 8am), 12-2 in the afternoons and after 6pm in the evenings! I would love to meet your pup before a drop in/walk if possible! It’s important to me to learn your dogs routine and fulfill their needs. Your space will be respected if I am dropping into your home!

“Cliff was a phenomenal help on short notice. He is great with communication and handling my dog’s specific needs. I would highly recommend him.”

“Caroline is so sweet with my dog Ellie, you can tell she really loves animals. She’s communicative and easy to schedule with, highly recommend for dog walking!”

Allison G.

“Gabby is a wonderful human being. She has been so so great and attentive with our dog BMO. She’s even been proactive and changed the batteries to our door lock when it wasn’t working so she’d be able to get to BMO later in the day. We’ve really appreciated her help and flexibility with our ever changing work schedules. BMO doesn’t warm up easily to people and is very shy, and she is excited to see Gabby every time. Gabby is the best!”

“Quia is excellent in how she handled Snacks, a 95 lb Akita with a lot of energy. She took charge right away and calmed him down. A true professional. Thank you so much, you are the BEST! Andrea McCartney (MsAMac)”

About: As a passionate and experienced pet sitter, I bring a unique blend of reliability, empathy, and expertise to every pet I care for. I understand that your pet is a beloved member of your family, and I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention as I would my own. With a strong background in pet care, from managing feeding schedules to providing mental and physical stimulation, I ensure each pet’s needs are fully met. My flexible approach allows me to adapt to different temperaments and requirements, whether for a high-energy pup, a shy cat, or a pet needing special care. Choosing me means peace of mind for you and a safe, joyful experience for your pet—because their happiness and well-being are my top priorities Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, thoughtfully woven into each part of my day to ensure that every pet I look after receives the attention and care they deserve. My mornings begin with feedings, refreshing water bowls, and a bit of playtime to start each pet’s day on a positive note. Throughout the day, I check in regularly to ensure their needs are met, adjusting my schedule for specific care requirements like medication, exercise, or one-on-one attention. Evening routines often include another feeding, a final check-in, and a cozy wind-down to help them feel safe and secure before bedtime. This routine isn’t just about tasks; it’s about creating a steady rhythm that pets find comforting, reinforcing a bond of trust and familiarity with each pet in my care. When caring for pets in my home or while pet sitting in another person’s home, I prioritize creating a familiar, comforting environment tailored to each animal’s needs. At home, I maintain a designated pet-friendly area stocked with essentials like food, toys, and a cozy rest space, ensuring pets feel secure and relaxed. In a client's home, I adhere to the pet’s established routines and preferences, whether it’s feeding schedules, walking times, or play habits, to minimize stress and maintain consistency. I’m vigilant about safety, cleanliness, and any specific care instructions provided by the pet’s owner, adapting to each pet’s unique personality—whether that means extra play for an energetic pup or gentle companionship for a shy cat. This approach allows pets to feel loved and cared for in a setting that feels just like home, whether it’s mine or theirs.

About: I have always loved dogs, and I had a lot of experience helping with dogs that belonged to my other family members or friends growing up. I have added dogs to the family as an adult and enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them, and caring for them. I have a bichon-freise and shitzu (teddybear mix) dog as part of our family currently. I have two daughters who adore dogs. I am just now beginning this journey on Rover though I have lots of experience working with dogs and caring for others' pups. I am currently working part time from home, so I have time to play and care for your pup. I can take your dog out first thing in the morning, a couple of times during the day, and before bedtime. I walk my own dog three to four times daily and sometimes take him to one of the two fenced in pet parks in my apartment building. Your dog can join us for whatever seems appropriate to you.

About: Just a dog mom and passionate animal lover with a dream of spoiling every fur baby in STL. I own a large, reactive senior dog that is my pride and joy so I’m well versed in reactive dogs with spicy personalities. Disclaimer: I’m a physician with unpredictable hours but I know my schedule months in advance so we’ll work together to find a good routine. I will always be transparent if I can’t provide the care needed due to time constraints. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size, age, or medical needs and cats are more than welcome to join the gang ! My schedule varies due to switching between clinic and hospital rotations every month. I’m usually available in the evenings and weekends. I know my schedule months in advance so will depend on what service you're looking for and what dates Unfortunately, my dog is not friendly with other animals so I cannot provide boarding. I can only offer house sitting if able to alternate between my home and yours

About: What sets me apart is my patience, flexibility, and genuine love for animals. I understand that pets, like people, need time to warm up, so I always work on their schedule — not mine. As a mom of two students high school and college, caring for pets fills my heart and time with purpose. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. This is my full-time occupation, I don’t mind driving or going the extra mile to make sure your home and pets are cared for like family I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I take time to earn their trust, give them space when needed, and show affection when they’re ready. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions with care and attention to detail—just as I would for my own pets. My goal is to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

“Prompt, reliable, capable and could be a professional pet photographer all describe Hayley. She has been walking my 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy for several weeks. She arrives at the requested time, she's patient with my energetic puppy and takes the best pictures (I've posted them on social media and my friends absolutely LOVE her!). She communicates in a timely manner. I work FT and need someone I can depend on to care for my pet, and Hayley has done a fantastic job doing it. Thank you so much.”

About: I’ve had animals all my life from seniors to littler of puppies. I’ve been to classes to teach and have taken care of multiple pets through hospice.

About: I have a 8 year old Yorkie myself that suffers from joint pain. I have had him since he was born. I understand the importance of delicate care when it comes to taking care of pets including senior pets. What sets me apart is that I’m patient, dependable, and genuine when caring for pets. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and safe. I’m comfortable caring for younger pets who need extra attention, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or additional care. I’m also responsible about following feeding schedules, routines, and special instructions from owners. I am currently working part time with a flexible schedule. I have plenty availability to care for pets, do drop ins and dog walks when needed. I have a friendly male yorkie that is great company for other dogs.

About: I had two dogs growing up which gave me a lot of experience taking care of pets. And when I wasn't to bring any more pets home, I turned to petsitting. This gave me more experience working with cats. Flexible work and fully remote school schedule! This makes pet care during the day possible for me. I am able to accommodate your pet's schedule as well. I am and always have been an animal lover. I would be taking care of your pet as if they were my own to ease their stress as well.

About: My experience with animals comes from caring for pets throughout my life, including my own dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities that come with pet care, such as feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, maintaining routines, and providing companionship. I’ve also helped care for kittens from birth, which gave me hands-on experience with young animals and taught me the importance of patience, cleanliness, observation, and consistency. I understand that every pet is different, and I make an effort to learn each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs rather than treating every animal the same. Besides my taking care of my own pets my time is free I’m currently unemployed just a full time pet mom and wouldn’t mind taking care of other pets like my own I Have family that helps me take care of my pets at home if needed I also make sure my pets have everything they need when I leave according to how long I will be gone so no need to bring them with me

About: I have 6 years of experience caring for cats and 3 years with dogs. I trained my dog when he was a puppy, rescued stray cats and helped a lost dog find a new home. Also introduce my second cat who is a strayed cat to my first cat. I’m currently in my gap year so I have lots of time to caring your cat or dogs (also puppy!) Pet care fits into my daily routine as I enjoy spending time training, feeding, and playing with them. Boarding pets will have their own bedroom, and share the living room with/without resident cats depending on how they get along. I have a safe environment at home. There’s no child in home. Additionally, I have experience with pet training and caring for both rescueds and domestic pets. I ensure a loving and secure atmosphere for your furry companions.
