Dog Walkers in Palos Heights, IL

“Amanda is awesome with our dog Leyla! This was our first time using Rover and it could not have been a better match. She is nearby, flexible and takes the extra time and effort to ensure our puppy gets in some good, quality, fun exorcise for the day. She is very experienced with animals of all kinds and makes me feel confident that my pup is in good hands. Highly recommended!”

“I recently adopted a rescue who is having a hard time adjusting to new people. Kathryn did a great job with him! Despite him growling at her she was patient with him and helped him calm down so she could walk him. She was reliable and understanding. I then asked her if she could come again last minute and without hesitation she agreed! I would definitely work with Kathryn again!”

About: I am caring and patient, and will provide plenty of walks and playtime for your dog. I have raised two dogs to a healthy old age, as well as having provided short-term care for dogs of friends and family. My schedule is flexible so I can accommodate your pet's needs and provide them plenty of attention and care. I love all types of pet personalities! My home has lots of windows for your dog to sit and look outside, a nice neighborhood for walks and a big unfenced yard. I also have an open-door crate if your dog likes that sort of space. Your dog will always be leashed when outside.

About: Hi High school teacher with over 15 years of experience as a devoted dog momma—and let's face it, taking care of your fur baby will be way simpler (and cuter) than managing a classroom full of teens! I will bring the same level of dedication and attention to detail to your pets care that I do to my students learning. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or some quality cuddle time, I'll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. My goal is always the same: Love and spoil your pet as much as I spoil my ol' girl, Mya (14 y/o shepherd mix)! As a high school teacher, my schedule during the school year is structured, but in the summer (after Memorial Day), I have a lot of flexibility—perfect for giving pets the time and attention they deserve! With my summers off, I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or extended stays. I’m able to adjust my schedule to fit a variety of needs. I do my absolute best to maintain your pet’s regular routine—because I know how important familiarity is for their comfort and I'm building trust. I’m organized, responsible, and detail-oriented—and happy to share photos and updates!

“Jennifer was a lifesaver for us in walking our pup while we were out of town. She was very flexible and accommodating and did a great job communicating updates throughout walks. Definitely recommend and will book again!”

However, you are welcome to contact me to see if I have an opening! I am planning on just walking dogs, so I will help the dogs be as happy and comfortable during our walks as possible by offering treats and letting the dog have fun.

“Amy took care of my dog for 3 weeks when I was out of the country. Amy was always on time, sent me messages with dog's pictures, updates, responded to my messages instantly. Amy made me feel at ease and my dog was happy every day to see her. I would recommend Amy to my friends and everyone else, too. Thank you Amy for all your help!”

About: I treat every pup like my own. If your dog isn't napping or resting, we'll be active and engaged. That may include playing with their favorite toy, going on a walk, or getting plenty of belly rubs and pats. I believe dogs thrive on love, attention, and activity. Therefore, I make sure they're never bored or lonely. I'm currently a student at UIC with one class online and one class in person. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me plenty time for walks, drop-ins and overnight care. Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priorities. On walks, I let your pep lead the way so they can explore at their own pace. I love finding nearby parks where they can burn energy. It I'm caring for a pet in your home, I'll always follow your instructions closely to maintain their normal routine.

“Melanie is amazing with my spicy puppy. He always gives her a mean side eye but she rolls with the punches and is able to get him out and moving. She’s so good with him! He may not show it on the outside but I know he loves her. She’s awesome! 🤩”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs with big personalities, different needs, and unique emotional backgrounds. I grew up around dogs and am very comfortable caring for them alongside cats — including understanding different energy levels, routines, and communication styles. I don’t just “pet sit”; I focus on understanding each pet as an individual and respecting their boundaries, routines, and communication styles. I’m especially patient with animals who need time to warm up or who have had rough pasts. I take a calm, low-pressure approach and let pets set the pace for trust and interaction. What sets me apart: • 🐾 Experienced with cats and dogs who are: • Shy, anxious, reactive, or easily overstimulated • Food-motivated, demanding, or boundary-testing • 🐾 Comfortable reading body language and respecting “no” signals • 🐾 Experienced with feeding routines, treat schedules, and managing food-related behaviors • 🐾 Patient with seniors and low-energy pets • 🐾 Confident with multi-pet households and managing group dynamics • 🐾 Focused on low-stress handling and emotional well-being • 🐾 Will follow routines exactly as instructed (feeding times, meds if applicable, enrichment, etc.) My goal is to make your pet’s time with me feel as close to their normal routine as possible — not just watched, but genuinely cared for in a calm, respectful way. Open availability. Currently out of work and wanting to go back to dog walking and pet care on here while I am out of work Safety and trust come first for me. I follow routines exactly, keep doors secured, respect pet boundaries, and maintain a calm, low-stress environment. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and mood changes, and I’ll communicate any concerns promptly.
