Dog Walking River Grove

“We love Hillary. I am able to walk Charlie myself now but as we (Charlie and I) would miss Hillary terribly, we decided to ask her to walk Charlie two days a week. Luckily, she accepted. See? That's how wonderful she is to us.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I’ve raised many puppies and taken care of them into their senior days. I’ve provided pure love, safety, care, and tons of cuddles with many many many doggies. My own throughout my entire life, and for many friends, neighbors, family, and clients. My schedule is pretty open and flexible right now. So I’d have all the time to give your pups all my time and attention. Availability 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard. A safety gate blocking the stairs to the basement so no little doggies that might have trouble slipping on stairs can get to them or the basement. A dogs safety is always my utmost priority.

About: My name is Daniella. I am 24 years old and working with animals is what my life is about. All my life I have had my own pets and I have also worked at an animal hospital for the past 8 years! I am a college graduate with a degree in Biology and I’m here to make sure your fur babies are happy and safe! I have lots of experience with animals and I love any kind. You have a cat? No problem! 5 dogs? (It’s okay I do too!) consider me to watch your lovely animals! I promise that I won’t let you down! I am currently a full time vet tech! I am free pretty much every Sunday and Wednesday and Saturday afternoons after 3pm. I am off some Mondays as well. I would love to be able to work with your schedule as well! Bringing pets into my home won’t always be an option for me but I am more than happy to stay at your home to watch your fur babies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats myself so bringing in other pets does not always work well for my little guysz

About: Hi! Im Cailey. Im a sophomore in college studying to become a veterinarian. I previously worked at a pet hotel for two years as a daycare attendant, groomer, and reactive dog handler. I am comfortable with breeds of all sizes and temperaments. While working at the pet hotel I was also trained on how to administer various medications both oral and injection, and I was trained in pet cpr and how to read the body language of a dog. I have three large breed dogs of my own, two of which I took to professional trainers and my most recent rescue I trained myself. I am not a professional trainer but I am quite educated on the subject! Please reach out for any grooming, pet care, or training inquires! Thank you. My dogs wake me up every morning around 7-8 to go potty and for breakfast. I take one or two of my dogs each morning to run with me. I live right next to a park we usually do two laps of. After then my dogs pretty much entertain each other until dinner time. In other peoples homes I treat them as if they were my own! Well talk everything over in person of course but just leave me detailed instructions and I will do my best to follow them to a T!

About: I’ve had pets my whole life! And I worked at a dog shelter for 8 months before going to school and I loved every second of it! I do have a job! However I will do my best to make time usually dog check in are best at the moment or dog walking! I have two cats! Who are my world!! But I’ve worked with dogs for years I worked at a dog shelter and it was my favorite job ever!

About: Compassionate dog owner focused on providing the best animal care possible. I bring some medical knowledge from coursework in veterinary studies and from working at a vet clinic for 2 years. My background consists of: Attending workshops about animal behavior, fostering when needed and experience in grooming! I consider myself responsable and reliable. Caring for your pet is not only my job but also my favorite thing to do! A wise person once said, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” I work as a legal assistant full-time but can schedule services around your calendar during the holidays or special occasions. I am also usually free on weekends. I speak fluent spanish and love to take the time to explain my daily routine to our pet owners! Let us relieve you of that stress when it comes to your dog's wellbeing, while you can relax or get done what you need to get done. I'm big on taking pictures... so I'll send you cute pics of your pets!

About: I had my first dog at just 6 years old and my love for animals had been growing ever since😊I currently have a dog of my own who is 5 years old! I’ve had her since she was a puppy (day she was born lol!) due to an accidental litter from my dog(who unfortunately passed away and is her mother) and my moms dog! So I am very good with puppy training as well😊I am good with administering medicine as needed for your fur baby if that is something you need! I work 3 night time 12 hour shifts Friday-Sunday so I am free during the week! I am in nursing school as well but as of now my classes are online! I can keep your fur baby company and play with them. I’m very good with animals of all kinds and making them comfortable around me! I offer companionship and treats lol! I love long walks for dogs so they will get plenty of potty breaks and lots of outside time!

About: Caring for a pet means much more to me than simply feeding them and taking them for walks. I enjoy getting to know their personality, respecting their routine, and making sure they feel calm, safe, and loved while they are in my care. I am responsible, patient, and very attentive to each pet parent’s instructions. I understand that every pet has their own needs, habits, and preferences, which is why I carefully follow the instructions I’m given and maintain regular communication so you can feel at ease while your pet is with me. I offer walks and care for both dogs and cats, whether in my home, in the pet’s home, or during walks. I especially enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs and paying attention to the little details, such as their behavior, eating habits, energy levels, and overall comfort. I also like to keep pet parents updated throughout the stay, sending photos and updates when appropriate. My goal is for your pet to receive personalized care and for you to have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. I work part-time, which gives me enough flexibility to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. When you’re away from home, I can keep your pet company, play with them, give them plenty of affection, take them for walks, and keep their routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. I also offer daycare in my home and overnight care, depending on each pet’s needs. I want them to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, just as they would at home, while their families are away. In my home, pets are part of the family. I have a large, fully fenced and secure yard with a small grassy area where they can go outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. Inside the home, they have a comfortable and safe environment where they can relax and spend time with the family. I want pets to feel at home and be part of our family life, so I do not use crates as part of their daily routine. They are free to move around the safe areas of the house and yard, always taking into consideration their personality, needs, and their owner’s instructions. I have a one and a half year old Yorkie who is part of our family and is used to enjoying the house and yard freely. Of course, whenever I care for another pet, I respect their boundaries, energy level, and any special instructions provided by their family. If I care for your pet in your home, I maintain their usual routine and carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, rest, and any other needs. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, accompanied, loved, and at home while you are away.

About: My husband and I have always been dog people. Growing up he had two labradors and I had a beagle. When we bought our house we adopted a senior lab. We spoiled him as much as we could and loved him unconditionally. After losing Ceasar two years ago, we walked into an animal shelter and that's where our baby, Uru-Kai, stole our hearts. I don't work on weekends, I have holidays off and the summer off. I already have a dog so I know how important it is to stick to a routine. Our current dog goes out on four walks a day. If he needs to go potty because he drank too much water we let him in the back yard. If he seems bored he rings the doorbell to be let in the backyard. When we need to leave the house our dog is put in his crate to ensure that he's safe and stays out of trouble while we're gone.

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including overnight and extended stays in clients’ homes. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic medications, and following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m also a nursing student, so I’m dependable, organized, attentive to details, and comfortable following specific care instructions. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and home, so I make communication a priority and am happy to send regular photo and video updates while you’re away. I have pets of my own and understand that every animal has a different personality, comfort level, and routine. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I have flexibility outside of my nursing classes and clinicals. I’m able to plan walks, drop-ins, feeding times, and overnight stays around each pet’s normal routine, and I’m especially available in the evenings and on weekends. When I commit to a booking, I make sure I have enough time to give your pet consistent attention rather than trying to squeeze visits in. I’m also happy to work around specific feeding, medication, or exercise schedules when needed. I currently have online classes Monday and Tuesday mornings, which can be done from home. I have in-person classes Wednesday and Thursday from 10-4 and Friday 7am-1pm. Weekends for me are open! I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully, and I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and food are always handled securely. I’m very respectful of both the pet and the home, and I pay close attention to any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy while the owner is away. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Dylan has been such a positive and reliable presence for my pups. He always communicates promptly, is flexible, and my pups get super excited to see him. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind I get knowing Dylan will be taking them out during the day.”

About: I currently own two doggies, and have been a caretaker for 16 years. They are the most precious animals and I couldn't imagine my life without them. Someone told me once that I can't pet all the dogs I see, and I said watch me😎 I'm currently staying at home so my schedule is pretty open. I already take care of two dogs at home so adding a third or fourth wouldn't be a big deal. I have a fenced in yard and both of my doggies are well socialized and like to hangout with other dogs. At a client's home I follow whatever instructions are needed.

About: Helloooo, my name is Veronica and I love all animals ❤️. My parents currently have a 1 and a half year old American Bully who I see everyday to give him a walk. I had experience taking care dogs and cats from all ages, my previous dog Nuka lived until she was 12 years old. I have the best support system available, which is my mom. When I am not available to come for some reason, I know I can always count on her to help me take care of your dog or cat. I will communicate with you and provide you with many photos and videos throughout the booking. I will treat your pet as if it was my own. I have experience with giving oral medication.

About: Hi there! My name is Kaitlin and I live in Chicago. I have had dogs all my life, but currently don’t have a dog of my own right now. I have 19 years of experience working with furry friends. I love long walks and playing with pups and cats! Please feel free to reach out and hopefully we can arrange a house sit or boarding at my place. My schedule is very flexible so I am able to play with your dog often throughout the day and take them on walks. I look forward to hearing from you! I truly enjoy and look forward to caring for animals. Although I work part-time during the week, I can easily adapt to your pet's needs. On weekend days, I can spend more quality time with your pet as I don’t work my day job. I do try to structure my schedule around your pet’s walking/feeding schedule. I believe it’s best to keep the routine as consistent with their typical routine as possible. Your fur baby is my top priority. They will have a fun time with me as we take multiple walks per day and snuggle endlessly.
