Dog Walking Prospect Heights

About: I have cared for animals ever since I can remember. I am a huge animal lover so I had/have a lot of different pets: Cats, dogs, a ferret, hamsters, lizards, and fish! I am going into junior year for college as a double major in Biology and Animal Ecology. I was involved in an animal training class for two semester where I helped/observed dog training. I was a Kennel Attendant for 3 months at an Animal Hospital, have interned there for 2 Summers, and am working as a veterinary assistant this Summer! I am working part time as a Veterinary Assistant Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I am volunteering at a Parrot pet store in the mornings on Wednesdays and Fridays. I’m available after 12 pm on Wednesdays and Fridays along with anytime on most Saturdays and Sundays! I am available for feeding, walking, and giving your pet lots of attention (if they seem ok with it)! And I will make sure to fulfill all of your pets needs.

About: Hi, I’m Karina! My fiancé and I moved to Wheeling last year and I wanted to get more involved in the local community while spending time with animals. I have 5+ years of hands-on experience working in an animal hospital, along with 15+ years of caring for my own pets. Working in an animal hospital gave me real experience handling different temperaments, reading behavior, and making sure animals feel safe even in unfamiliar situations. At home, I’ve cared for my own pets for years, so I understand how important routines, attention, and consistency are. When your pet is with me, you can expect: - Regular updates and photos - Care that follows your pet’s routine closely - A calm, patient, and attentive environment - Reliable and clear communication I take pride in being dependable and making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable every step of the way. I integrate pet care into my routine by managing my time responsibly. I have enough flexibility to give pets proper attention, playtime, and companionship without rushing or overbooking. I follow instructions closely, monitor behavior and comfort, and maintain clean, safe spaces at all times. I pay attention to routines, energy levels, and subtle changes that may signal stress or discomfort. I take care to respect each pet’s needs and the expectations of their owner, and I treat every home responsibly and professionally.

“Hannah is just an amazing dog walker. She was just amazing with our boy. She communicate when she arrived, when she left and sent us probably the best picture we have of him. We will for sure use her services again in the future and recommend everyone to reach out to her.”

About: Hi! I’m Luciana 🐾 I’ve volunteered with Heartland Animal Shelter for 2+ years and have experience fostering kittens, adult cats, hospice cats, and working with dogs of different sizes and personalities. As a pet parent to my cat Milo, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone patient, loving, and attentive. I provide: ✅ frequent photo updates ✅ playtime and enrichment ✅ medication experience ✅ calm care for shy or anxious pets ✅ reliable routines and potty breaks I work mostly from home, so your pet will receive lots of supervision and attention. I know every pet is different, and I always take time to understand their personality, routines, and comfort needs so they feel safe while you’re away ❤️ Not ready to book? Check us out on Sniffspot!

I work mostly from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I do occasionally leave for short errands, workouts, or appointments (typically 1–3 hours), but I prioritize maintaining your pet’s routine and comfort. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and boundaries so they feel secure and cared for. I have experience with cats of all ages, including kittens, seniors, hospice kitties, and cats needing medication. For dogs, I’ve worked with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments through Heartland Animal Shelter. I have a fenced yard for pets that enjoy brief supervised outdoor time (always safely monitored). Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I adapt to what makes them happiest.

“Took excellent care of my dog on walks everyday for a week! Thank you!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Angelina, and I’ve spent the past 8 years caring for cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra care, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique routine, background, and quirks. I have extensive experience with pets who have special health needs. I’m comfortable administering injections, pills, liquid medications, and topical treatments, and I always follow owner instructions carefully to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I’ve attended dog training classes with my own pups and have even taken clients’ dogs to training school, so I’m familiar with reinforcing cues, managing leash manners, and helping pups stay consistent with the skills you’re working on. Whether I’m providing walks, drop-ins, or in-home care, I’m committed to making your dog or cat feel secure and loved. I’ve cared for pets in their homes for both short weekends and long extended stays, and I bring plenty of experience and references from families throughout Lake and Cook County. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is the bond that forms over time. I love sending photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy — and nothing makes me smile more than when a pet recognizes me and gets excited the next time I visit. I’d love to meet your furry family member and learn how I can support their routine. Feel free to reach out with any questions! Pet care already fits naturally into my daily life. I care for my two cats every day, so feeding schedules, playtime, and keeping up with routines are already part of my normal rhythm. I build my weekly schedule around client visits and walks, making sure I leave enough time for each pet to get the attention they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and able to fit dog and cat care smoothly into my routine. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so prioritizing their care feels like a natural and meaningful part of my day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is making them feel comfortable in their own environment. I follow their usual routine—feeding, walks or playtime, litter scooping, and any medications—so everything stays familiar and stress-free. I keep their space clean, offer plenty of gentle attention, and adjust to each pet’s personality and comfort level. I also send photo updates so owners can see their pets relaxed and happy at home.

“Bermet communicates well and is always on time. Redmond looks forward to his walks with her. Thanks!”

“Cathy is incredible! Right from the start, she offered to come meet my dog ahead of time and as soon as she walked in I knew she would be a great fit. She took the time to play with him, pet him, and let him get to know her. As a result, when she arrived to pick him up for his walk, he was happy to see her! This extra care to getting to know my dog (and letting him get to know her!) is so appreciated - especially since I have had other walkers give up on him. I would recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking for a caring and compassionate sitter or walker.”

About: I am a person that loves all animals. Some pet parents will leave a small list of the schedule I need to follow. Whenever I come to hang with the cuties I’m always snapping pics and sending them to the pet parents. Just so everyone knows they are in good hands. Whatever it is that y’all need me to do I make sure to get the job done. Sometimes when I babysit if the parents need me to let the dogs out and feed them then I do it. So cats/dogs will get fed and taken out, we will play ball and have a load of fun. I promise I don’t bite and am very easy to talk to. If anyone ever has any questions feel free to ask!

“Tina is WONDERFUL! She is so caring, knowledgeable and flexible! She sends the best pictures and updates after walks! Can’t recommend her enough!”

Danielle L.

“Jenny is the best! She goes above and beyond to take care of our pup, and he is always so excited to see her. We love knowing he is in the best hands. She also updates us on how he did with his walks!”

“Karina was delightful to meet and she did a great job with our two dogs. She went the extra mile for us by doing it all on a short notice. We really appreciated her being available to lend a walking foot so we could go to Chicago for the day.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have 8 years of experience as a dog owner and 2 years of experience as a cat owner. I also worked at Petco during college, where I gained valuable knowledge about pet care, behavior, and the unique needs of different animals. In addition to pet sitting, I am currently going back to school to be an teacher and work as a substitute teacher, which reflects my responsible, patient, and dependable nature. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own. Whether it's walks, playtime, or feeding, I'm committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care while you're away. I am currently going back to school to be an elementary school teacher through an online program, and I work as substitute teacher. With the kids on summer break, my summer is wide open! In your home, I will follow your rules to a TEE. My dog is the type of dog that if he got outside of our fence, then he would sprint away, and my cat is the type of cat that if she were to get outside, she would also sprint away. I know how serious it is to care for dogs and cats, and I will treat your pets just as if they were my own: they will get their meals, their bathroom breaks, their walks, and their play time, just as you request.

About: Hi! I've had dogs and cats my whole life and treasure them with my whole heart. I've been caring for animals in their homes since the early 2000's. I'll walk, feed, play, brush, and be a companion for your fur babies in your time of need. Do you have more than dogs? Awesome! I am comfortable and experienced with cats too! Reptiles and rodents I also have experience with just don't ask me to cuddle with your pet snake, eek that's a bit scary for me! Truly looking for some quality time with animals while helping out other pet lovers like myself. I look forward to hearing from you soon about your big and small loved ones! I work full-time from home for a national fraternity on the housing team. I have the flexibility to spend more time with your loved ones while you are away.

“Sarah has been to our house for a meet and greet and a walk with my two dogs. She has been great with communication prior to and following both appointments. She also had a wonderful way with my polar opposite personality dogs. She gave my people-timid boy the space he needed to feel comfortable and trusting while engaging yet supporting the appropriate boundaries I need to practice with my overly exuberant girl. I'm looking forward to Sarah spending more time at my house caring for my sweet best pals.”

About: Since I was 11, my neighbors have trusted me to feed and walk their dogs + cats. I have handled very large dogs but also small dogs without struggle, with a wide range of ages from puppies to seniors. I have worked with multiple special needs animals and can administer any kind of medicine. I am a student so I have summer off right now, but start school august 25th. Most important holidays I will be gone out of town for. I am in a boating family, so most weekends we try to get out onto the lake during the summer!! Mostly only free during summer and Christmas break, I try to keep my calendar up to date but feel free to always reach out! I have a fenced in yard with enough space for your pups to run around and play. My neighborhood is a very safe and quiet area. I pay close attention to the pup and will follow your care directions exactly how you would like!

“Lindsay has been invaluable walking my pup. She met her in advance, asked questions to best meet her needs, and showed up and provided updates of all of my dogs walks. I would highly recommend her to anyone and look forward to having her walk my dog again in the future.”

About: I have grown up with many animals, including exotic animals. We have a grooming station in home and love animals of all types and breeds. I haven’t accept exotic animals as well. I have owned horses, mini pigs inside my house, sugar, gliders, chinchillas, hamsters, lizards, cat, dogs, ferrets, I’m probably forgetting a few more. I have an open schedule and care for my pets very well. My dog even gets dental cleanings every year. My favorites get their nails cut and bathed weekly. I have multiple dog beds, a cat tower tons of toys for all different red animals. Have a fenced in backyard, grooming, station, and home. I have extra cages or tanks if need be. I prefer not to kettle animals unless they need to be under the owners agreement.

About: Veterinary student at the university of Illinois. I grew up with dogs and have always been around dogs and cats! I have experience in basic care, medical care and even some training. I have a 6mo golden retriever puppy with me as well. I am currently not in school and am working flexible hours at an animal hospital! I am free most evenings and weekends! So I can adjust to most schedules I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly golden retriever that loves to play, but will also chill out if that’s what your pet prefers! I enjoy walks, playing and keeping your pet not only supervised but also entertained!
