“With the busy schedules my husband and I have, we use Melissa weekly for recurring walks. She is great about picking up extra walks when we need, so our fur baby has some consistency with all traveling I do for work. Bruno loves her and I love the peace of mind she gives us! Thanks Melissa for all you do!”
“My Stella and I were extremely happy with Margaret’s dog walking services. My Stella loved her at first sight. A sixty-one pound dog can be hard to handle and Margaret handled Stella with ease. Always willing to accommodate changed walking times, extremely reliable and very friendly. I plan on using Margaret in the future. Five star service for sure!”
About: I have had personal pets for as long as I can remember!! Not only that but I also volunteer at various animal shelters in the Chicagoland area :) In the fall I will be going to college to become a veterinarian!! I’ve had a plethora of different animals and dog breeds throughout my life including ; pitbulls, boxers, shih-tzus and labs just to name a few!! I have my own little dog currently who I walk daily. I also play with and take care of the dogs at the shelter I volunteer at! Every morning I take my dog out of his playpen to completely clean it out. Not only that but I always wipe off his paws and mouth after our walks so he’s not tracking dirt around
“Matt is !absolutely great with Luca!! He’s very accommodating with unexpected requests. He’s very easy going and reliable. Luca (my dog) loves him and looks forward to his walks with Matt!”

About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover offering personalized walks right here in our neighborhood. Whether you’re at work, running errands, or just need an extra hand, I’m here to make sure your pup gets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I treat every dog like my own. I’m experienced with everything from high energy puppies who need a bit of leash training to sweet senior pups who need a slower pace and extra care. I’m reliable, patient, and always put safety first on every walk. Pet care is my main focus right now, so it fits perfectly into my daily routine! ( I’m on summer break as I work as a special needs aide) so I’ve set aside this time specifically to care for pets in my community, which means I’m flexible, dependable, and fully present for each walk or visit. Whether it’s early mornings, midday walks, or evening check-ins, I’ve got the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I currently care for pets in my apartment/ clients’ homes. I do prefer to care for pets in clients homes as I want to ensure each pet has the space and comfort they’re used to. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to stick to their regular routine; feeding times, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I always keep things clean, calm, and consistent so your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same love and care I’d want for my own.

Kaitlyn is very careful, caring and responsible! Had great communication and went out of their way to make sure i knew everything that was going on with my pet! The job was taken on last minute and I appreciate that she had questions and made sure i felt comfortable with everything too. Highly recommend Kaitlyn!
I was lucky to find Laura. Our regular dog walker had an emergency situation so I had to find someone to walk my dog for 2 days. My dog is 15 and moves sometimes at a snails pace but my dog liked her walks with Laura so much she had an extra pep in her step. She also ensured my dog had fresh water before she left. She is caring and compassionate. We were lucky to have found her on such short notice.
