Dog Walking in Portage Park, Chicago, IL

“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.”

“Robert has been walking Lucy daily and would definitely recommend him! Really thankful to have Robert taking care of my dog, especially during the summer in the heat. Robert is an excellent communicator and very thoughtful person.”

“Rosemarie was wonderful with my new-to-us somewhat rambunctious pup. Great communication and a terrific photo to boot. Thanks for taking care of Benny!”

Allie P.

“Andrea was great meeting both my pups for the first time! She asked questions about needs and anything important that would be helpful for walks or interactions with other animals/people. Introducing new people to a household can be stressful sometimes on pets, and my older pet can get protective. However, Andrea was super patient and understanding when it came to my slow introduction process. I appreciate her time and love for pets!”

“Chase is the best dog walker Ive ever had! His love of animals is obvious. He’s personable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond what is expected of him. I thank my ‘lucky stars’ I found him!”

Kathy L.

“Sure! Here’s a brief review you can use or tweak as needed: Jo has been amazing—she’s always prompt, incredibly reliable, and even works on training during walks, which has made a big difference. She’s also super flexible and always manages to accommodate any schedule changes. Highly recommend!”

“Jose really is a life saver! He took my dogs Monty and Jackson out for walks both morning and evening while my husband and I were away. My mom was staying at the house and taking care of our 4 month old baby while we were away. I knew Jose would be there for us and never had to worry about the dogs or my mom trying to juggle a baby and two dogs in the cold! Thank you Jose. Book him but just not when I need him!! Jessica”

“Sofia was so helpful when she found a RACCOON in my building. She made sure everything was safe and was still able to walk my dog. She’s the best!”

Katie L.

“I had back to back bunionectomies & was unable to walk our dog while my husband was out of town. Patrick came & saved the day……excellent with our 85 pound Shepherd/Goldendoodle mix!! He went above & beyond!! So grateful definitely will be using Patrick again!!”

About: New client promo: https://www.rover.com/sit/jillil71514 I’ve had my own cats and dogs since childhood and regularly pet sit for friends and relatives. In addition to regular pet care, I also have experience administering oral medications and subcutaneous fluids for cats. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and multiple animals. I currently work fully remote and am available to stay in your home with your animals. My work allows me great flexibility so I’m able to accommodate almost any arrangement. I am available for short notice and long stays. While caring for your pets in your home, I strive to give them as normal an experience as possible. I will spend as much time with them as I can (and they want) so they don’t feel alone. I will work with you to maintain existing schedules and routines. I am careful to make sure your house is also kept safe and clean while you’re away.

About: I've been a lifelong pet owner, growing up with dogs, cats, birds, and even snakes. As an adult, I've continued to share my home with animals, currently caring for three cats and a dog. I am currently a work from home professional artist. I set my own schedule and would love to incorporate walks and play time with your furry friends! When I care for your dog for walks, safety, trust, and a positive environment are my top priorities. Safety: I ensure safe walks by understanding your dog's unique walking style, any leash reactivity, and preferred routes. I am highly attentive to our surroundings, always making sure your dog is securely leashed and tagged before we leave. Trust: I build trust through reliability, punctuality, and transparent communication. You'll receive Rover Card updates with photos, and notes after every walk. I treat your home with the utmost respect, leaving it just as I found it. Environment: My goal is to maintain your dog's comfortable routine. I provide engaging and stimulating walks, allowing them to enjoy their familiar neighborhood and get the exercise they need in a positive and secure manner.

“Very responsive, on time, and easy to work with. Also helped us in a pinch.”

About: Got my first puppy when I was 9 and did actually do all the things I promised - walks, play, cuddles, brushing, etc. Had two puppies 20 years ago and it was the same drill. I love dogs and their antics but cannot have one at this time because our house is full with cat love. I'm currently consulting and have a lot of flexibility. Getting out and seeing new things and/or going for walks is something I incorporate into every day. It'd be nice to have a companion on my walks. At home I am the primary pooper scooper, playtime manager, and dishwasher. I'm the backup wet food server but I step up oven enough that the cats come tell me when it's wet food time. For clients I will follow instructions as they're left. If it says no treats, then no treats will be given. If it says 20 min walk at minimum, we'll go 25 min or more. I'll also leave a little note to confirm I was there and communicate any needs or news (like if we saw a slice of pizza in a bush but left it alone!!). For kitty homes, I'll make sure I have eyes on each kitty and will check their food, water, and litter. Will fill as needed or as outlined in instructions.

“Thank you!!!”

“Sydney is awesome. My pitbull mix Bowie is 75 lbs of pure muscle and can be quite a handful. He had a great time on all his walks and was very well behaved with her. I was so relieved to know he was being well taken care of while we were out of town!”

“My little guy came back happy! Thanks Anna!”

About: I have an unending love and passion for animals, especially dogs and cats. I had the privilege of owning and loving a Portuguese water dog mix for 15 years while also taking care of many animals in their home. I am a volunteer at a local animal shelter here in Jacksonville Florida and would be honored to be able to take care of your pets who are most definitely like family, if not better!! Thankyou!

“Tanya was great she really got along well with my dog Collin she was very prompt and even took him for a great walk in the rain sleet and snow we received thru the week I could not have gotten thru my recovery of my surgery without her I would totally recommend her and use her again if I’m unable to walk him myself”
