Dog Walking in Norwood Park, Chicago, IL

“Katherine is an excellent dog walker. My dog absolutely loves her, and she is always on time and does everything I’ve asked of her. Katherine gives me great peace of mind that my dog will be walked and played with when I’m at work all day.”

“I'll definitely book Jackie again. It's hard to leave your pup in the hands of someone you just met, but Jackie made us feel that Cooper was in good hands. We appreciated her consideration and care with him.”

“Nelli was great- super responsive. This was our first dog walker experience and she walked me through all the steps and took great care of Ozzie! She went above and beyond to make sure she left our puppy tired with a little extra play!”

About: I’ve cared for 7 dogs and 2 cats throughout their full life span, from puppyhood and kittenhood to senior years, including pets with special senior care needs. I’m confident handling large dogs and focus on structured walks, mental stimulation, and enriching playtime. As a psychotherapist, patience, intuition, and compassionate care come naturally to me. My schedule is very flexible I'm currently part time and work from home. I can be available on notice from 9am-10pm. I am able to do daily and weekly care/walking/play. I have a fenced yard. Two cats who are used to visitors and other animals. I can also crate animal if requested, use baby fence and adapt to living requirements specific to client needs.

“Tanya is reliable, dependable, and gives our fur baby all the love and attention we want for her when we are not home, thanks as ever for your TLC! 🐶”

About: What distinguishes me from other sitters is my experience with dogs since childhood, which has equipped me with the necessary skills to manage and respond appropriately in various situations. Additionally, I possess time, providing me with significant flexibility. I also have sufficient space to accommodate the dogs and give them the space they need. I will train them the basics if they still don’t know them and help their skills & tricks expand. I’m currently working from home, which gives me the advantage and flexibility to provide the necessary care for the dogs when they need it and assist in their well-being. I am available for boarding from 6:00 am to 3:00 pm on weekdays. I have a fenced backyard and have two other fur babies that will keep your dog associated with other dogs. Theres also enough space for them to be separated in case they don’t want to be together, depends on your dog’s comfort.

About: I have hands-on experience dog sitting for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, administering basic care, maintaining routines, and ensuring each dog feels safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m attentive, reliable, and always prioritize a dog’s well-being, safety, and individual needs. If you text me ahead of time I normally free everyday. I only work randomly 1-2x a week and my shifts aren’t long making my schedule very open. I also have 2 dogs of my own boy and girl that I take care of everyday. Please NOTE I HAVE 2 DOGS OF MY OWN. I CANT ACCEPT SICK DOGS OR UNFRIENDLY DOGS. I closely follow owner instructions, monitor behavior and health, and ensure secure spaces during walks, playtime, and rest. By creating a consistent and stress-free environment, I help dogs feel comfortable, protected, and confident while their owners are away. I also have a fenced in yard for them to go to the bathroom.

About: What truly sets us apart is the genuine love and attention we give every pet, treating them as if they were our own. Caring for animals has been part of my life since childhood, from dogs and cats to rabbits. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and (of course) snuggle their pets, knowing they’d be cared for with patience and kindness. Because I work from home, your pet is never alone. They receive constant companionship, supervision, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I’m attentive and experienced with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies who need play and structure to senior pets who deserve extra comfort, gentleness, and care. For added peace of mind and convenience, we’re located just minutes from O’Hare Airport with easy access to the Metra train, making drop-off and pick-up simple for frequent travelers and busy pet parents alike. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need dependable care close to home, your pet will be safe, loved, and well looked after here. Since I work from home, your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day, they’ll never feel lonely here! I have a fenced in yard with cameras and we will always monitor while pets are outside. I am a lifelong animal lovers and have cared for pets my entire life, including dogs, cats, and even rabbits. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’d love to open my home and heart to your fur baby and treat them like part of the family.

About: I live in Old Norwood Park, and I am usually free on weekends. There are times I am also available weekday mornings and evenings. I have a five year old beagle mix who keeps me busy with long walks and playtime. Please reach out if you need some dog walks or drop in visits! Weekends are usually wide open! Some week day mornings and evenings work too. I am off federal holidays as well. Let me know what you need! I do not care for pets in my home, unless we work it out as I have a dog myself and I would need to make sure they get along.

“So sweet and reliable!!”

About: I grew up with cats, then recently have cared for and helped train my parents' Schnauzer puppy. I recently lost my 9-year-old medium dog named Jupiter to cancer, but we loved spending time together walking, hiking, or cuddling at home. I now have a young kitten, Mav, and have been enjoying getting to know him better! I have been trusted to watch my family and friends' fur babies on a regular basis. I do work full time, but my husband also helps out and works from home 2-3 days a week. We love having animals in our home and are active people! I have a fenced in yard and a 4 month old kitten. I live with my husband, and we allow pets on the furniture and beds, but if they are more comfortable in a crate we have plenty of space to accommodate that! I love going for walks and getting some fresh air while allowing your dog to explore some new scents in the area. We have lots of dog toys at home still. Since getting our cat, we play with her everyday and clean the litter boxes regularly

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life! From neighbors to friends/family! It’s my favorite and brings me so much happiness! That’s why I currently own two small dogs. Im currently a stay at home mom and would love to host some different pups! My two schnauzers love making friends. It would be awesome for everyone! I walk my dogs multiple times a day and take them to my local dog park! I’m home so I’m able to focus all my attention on your little one.

“Megan is awesome with our dogs. She's reliable and super flexible which works really well with our ever-changing schedule. We know our dogs love when she comes by for their walk which really puts us at ease when we leave them. Megan - thanks for being such a great friend to Albie and Wynn!”
