Dog Walkers in Oakbrook Terrace, IL

“Alexa handles my 85 pound, temperamental, mastiff mix like a champ. She is a great communicator, follows directions and always gives plenty of feedback for each walk. Sadie, is always waiting eagerly in the window for their weekly walks.”

“Jennifer is so great! I have used her a handful of times now for dog walking. She provides very detailed updates during her walk and always listens if I provide her with different instructions for the day. She also quickly caught on to what our dog likes to do - play fetch versus going for walks so she takes time to play fetch. Definitely recommend booking her!”

“Gina is kind, punctual, flexible, understanding, and reliable! We have a dog with some fear of strangers and she is taking the time our dog needs to feel comfortable with walks and overnights. She is very friendly and accommodating!”

“Collette is the greatest dog walker ever! When I was at work in the city, my pup Sonny started to have seizures and continued having seizures until I got back home. She stayed by his side the entire time. She is very compassionate and caring and has been helping me out with dog walking for almost a year now. She is truly the best! Thank you Collette for everything that you do for me.”

“Elizabeth was great and kept me up to date on her walk with our puppy!”

About: Working in the animal welfare field for a few years now has allowed me to obtain lots of skills other sitters may not obtain. Need to give your pet medication as you are gone? No problem for this experienced veterinary technician! Have an additional set of ease, for you know that your pet is with a sitter that has been trained in first aid, CPR, and even anesthesia! I know what to look for when your pet is staying outside of home. With time I have for my online college courses, I can have the best of both worlds. Sitting your pet while also furthering my education simultaneously. Your pet will truly enjoy my two sided fully fenced backyard! Lots of room to run around and chase a ball or chill on the patio if wanted. Fortunately, pets are allowed on my couch as well, allowing them to snuggle and have comfortablity in my home.

“Kathryn has been so great with my dog Sammy. He looks so happy with her. I am really appreciative of the detailed report I get for each walk. Highly recommend Kathryn!”

“Melissa is great with our dog, I felt better knowing she was there to take him for a walk and give him love while we were at work. Getting a report of where she walked our dog and having a picture sent to us gave me comfort :) Hope to make her our regular dog walker!!!”

About: I’ve had dogs for my whole life, all pitbulls except for one sweet Boston mix. I have experience with all ages including puppies and seniors. In my neighborhood I dogsit for many of the neighbors and I never lack in love or care regardless if the dog is mine or not. I love to take many pictures and videos to send because I understand the worry a pet parent must feel and I think the pictures ease their worry My mom can watch my dogs when I’m out for days so I never have to worry about them. I’m available 100%, weekdays, weekends, and holidays! Even when I start my job as a canine hydrotherapist I’ll still be available! I’m flexible in my care and happy to accommodate any wishes or needs for your dog, just let me know beforehand so I can prepare accordingly

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I’ve helped a lot of friends and family members care for their pups. You can be in addition! I’m a nurse that works 3 12 hour night shifts per week. During the days that I have off, I’m free to help walk, board or give potty breaks to dogs! I am a reliable nurse that just wants some more fur baby company. You can trust me to care for your pups. My apartment allows all dog breeds and all sizes. We have a great dog park and a great area to go on walks.

“Thank you so much for taking care of Tito ❤️”

About: Having a dog and cat all my life has prepared me very well to take care of both dogs and cats! I’ve pet sat for family and friends various times back in Miami and want to continue to do so here in Illinois. I love how we can keep each other company especially since I’m away from home and would love the extra company! Right now, my own cat back home has diabetes, so I’m super comfortable giving insulin shots and handling meds if your pet needs them.I'm part of the PAWS Chicago fostering program, which has been such a rewarding experience. I joined because I was missing the companionship of animals and wanted to give back to the community by opening up my home to a cat in need. I’d love to adopt someday, but since I travel home often, fostering is the perfect way for me to help right now. I’m currently in dental school and away from my own pets, so spending time with yours would honestly be the best part of my day. I treat every animal like they’re family, whether it's snuggles on the couch, playtime, or making sure they stick to their routine. If you're looking for someone caring, responsible, and who truly loves animals, I’d be so happy to help out! I am in clinic Monday-Friday 8-4. Although that is my schedule I normally home for lunch around 11 and stay until 12:30. My day normally ends at 3ish Weekends are usually free unless I am traveling back home! I have a cat litter and toys at hand (no cat) and a dog park area in the back of my apartment for walks and play!

“Sophie did an excellent job walking our two big wolfhounds! We booked her for six days and she was always arrived promptly and gave great service. Would highly recommend her 😁”

About: I've taken care of dogs all different sizes and kinds for many years. Friends, neighbors and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I'm currently working part time, so I am able to play and be with your pups a lot! I love being active so taking your dogs out and keeping them happy is a guarantee! I do not have a fenced in yard, but the apartment building is pet friendly, and there are a lot of friendly dogs in the neighborhood to play with! I do have a spare bedroom with a bed if the pup can sleep comfortably. I also can crate your dog if needed.

About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. At home, I’m the proud owner of two cats and two dogs, and I’ve also spent time fostering as well as pet sitting for other families. This has given me a deep understanding of how to make animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved in any environment. ❤️ I fits perfectly in my daily routine since I already care for my own two cats and two dogs. I’m used to balancing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. Because of this, I can easily fit in visits, walks, or extended care for your pets. I keep a flexible schedule and can adjust to your pet’s specific routine—whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. My goal is to make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable at the times they need it most. I prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure the environment is secure and free from hazards. I follow any specific care instructions provided by the owner, including feeding, medication, and exercise routines. I also ensure pets feel comfortable and loved by giving them attention, playtime, and supervision at all times. I communicate regularly with pet owners to provide updates and ensure they trust that their pets are happy and safe.

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I have over 30 years of experience providing attentive, loving, and reliable pet care for all kinds of animals, from playful puppies to wise senior pets. What sets me apart is the calm, intuitive approach I bring to each animal's unique personality and needs. I have hands-on experience with: Puppy training – including basic commands, crate training, and leash manners. Senior pet care – gentle handling, administering medications, and understanding mobility or dietary needs. High-energy breeds – I know how to keep them mentally and physically engaged. Shy or rescue animals – I give them the time and space to feel safe and comfortable. Beyond just feeding and walking, I prioritize emotional well-being. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, belly rubs, or just a calm presence, I’m here to provide consistent and loving care—like you never left. If you're looking for someone who treats your pet like family and pays attention to every little detail, I’d love to help. I am an entrepreneur, I make my own schedule and I work from home. I am available anytime 7 days a week, 24 hours a day to take care of your pet. I have a fenced in yard for your dog to run and play safely outside. I have a large indoor dog kennel inside the den of our home that is cool in the summer, it is climate controlled with Heat and AC. I also have a large Dog crate available if your dog prefers a cozier private place to rest. Of course your dog will be allowed to enjoy our home freely with supervision. I know every dog is different, and I will do my best to accommodate their needs. I have a very friendly and social German Shepherd named Duke who would love to meet any play with your dog if allowed.

About: I owned an amazing Chihuahua for 13 years, who's sadly passed on. I love fur friends, can't wait to get another fur family member would, and would love the opportunity to sit for you. I currently work full time from home and have the flexibility and focus to still dog sit and give your furry friend the attention they need. Yes, I have a decent spacious home with an unfenced back yard, nice open front yard, and a park/dog park is a quick block away.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I've had my own cat for over 10 years, so I deeply understand feline behavior, routines, and the patience required to earn their trust. Beyond that, my extended family is full of cat lovers. I regularly help care for my sisters' cats, including a high-energy Bengal that requires specialized play, enrichment, and attention. I'm familiar with the unique personalities and needs of different breeds and have learned how to tailor care to suit each individual animal. When it comes to dogs, they've been a central part of my daily life while nannying. For the past year, I’ve consistently walked, played with, and cared for dogs of various sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s sticking to a specific routine, managing energy with structured play, or ensuring calm and safe interactions, I always strive to give pets the love and attention they deserve. I’m confident managing multiple animals at once and can read animal body language to ensure everyone feels safe and happy. What sets me apart is the mix of hands-on experience with both cats and dogs, my calm and attentive approach, and my genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know them, meet their needs, and build trust. From playful puppies to independent seniors, I provide care that’s thoughtful, reliable, and personalized. I currently work part-time as a nanny, and that often includes caring for family dogs, taking them on walks, playing with them, and keeping them company throughout the day. When I’m home, I care for my own cat, who’s been with me for over 10 years. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. Starting this fall, I’ll be in school full-time, but I won’t be working a job alongside it. That means I’ll have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, especially on weekends and between classes. I prioritize safety and trust above all when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to ensure pets are comfortable and secure. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where animals feel relaxed and safe. At a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, keeping everything as familiar as possible for the pet. I’m attentive to any special needs or behaviors, and I’m always ready to respond quickly if a pet feels stressed or unwell. Building trust with both pets and owners is essential to me as I communicate openly and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.
