Dog Walking Rockdale

“Absolutely amazing! Katherine not only booked on short notice (I was freaking out because our normal walker had to cancel last minute!) She was personable, went above and beyond and most importantly to me, Cookie loved her! It’s always scary leaving our pets home for trips etc. Katherine will put you at ease. Thanks again!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Nicole, and I work remotely as a graphic designer while pet-sitting! I’d love to hang out with your baby or take them on walks or just keep them company! The details: I’m currently open for a recurring lunch time walk/drop-in spot! I do have meetings throughout the day and work full-time, so it’s u likely I can accommodate any other weekday times. Weeknights and weekends are open though! I am open to sitting for all types of animals! I love to be outdoors, so walking and playing with your pet will be a treat for both me and them. I’m also cool with a little snuggle bug watching tv on the couch! I’ve walked and spent time with dogs of all shapes and sizes through volunteer work at a shelter in SK. You can count on me to love your pet as my own while I’m with them. I have no problem giving medication or any other special needs your dog might have. - I require meet & greets. - All pets must be up to date on vaccines. - All pets must be in generally good health. - I am not able to offer constant care during daytime hours on weekdays. (Additional costs will be applied for constant care). - Please let me know all about their personality, quirks, and habits! House Sitting notes: Every sitter uses this service a bit differently. For my services, house sitting = staying overnight in your home and caring for the pet between 5pm - 8am and 1 drop in around noon. Any additional needs require additional drop-in costs because I am not able to stay in your home the entire day (I must care for my own pet and another client daily). Don’t hesitate to ask questions if you have any! I'd love to hang out with your pet and work out a schedule! I do work full-time but have some flexibility in my hours. I currently have an opening for lunchtime walks or drop-ins, and I’m always open to doggy daycare. Weeknights and weekends are open! My home has a fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play, our house is small but we live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of good places to walk and sniff!

About: I’ve taken care of many pets! From dog to tarantula I’ve had them all. I’ve handled the stubborn breeds like bull terrier to the loving breed like Labradors. I’ve raised multiple kitten litters and helped them get adopted out and took in many strays. I treat every animal as my own. Im available every week day after 8am! If im needed earlier I can make it work as well. My schedule may be more open soon depending on jobs. Pet care come first for me so no need to worry about anything preventing me from that. I can easily crate your dog if needed and have a fenced in dog park. I do live in an apartment complex so room isn’t as spacious as a house.

About: I offer peace of mind through professional experience. Your pets are family. They deserve an expert who understands behavior, medical needs, and safety. I bring over 13 years of professional animal handling to every sit. I will treat your home and pets with ultimate respect. Why Choose Me: 13 Years as an Animal Control Officer: Trained in animal behavior, safety, and emergencies. Senior Dog Specialist: Expert in administering medications, managing mobility issues, and cognitive care. Multi-Species Experience: Extensive background with dogs, cats, and rabbits. Safety First: Certified in emergency handling and reading subtle animal body language. Reliable Updates: Frequent photo, video, and text check-ins during every visit. I am currently at home most of the day, which means your beloved pet will receive constant supervision, love, and attention! Because of my open schedule, I can offer ultimate flexibility—whether that means hosting a fun staycation in my home, coming to yours for multiple daily visits, or doing quick midday 'let outs' while you are at work. I am proud to have a very welcoming pack of my own, including two sweet female miniature dachshunds and a friendly, medium-sized female terrier mix. All three of my girls absolutely love making new friends and are incredibly well-behaved with other dogs. Your pup will instantly feel like part of our family, enjoying non-stop companionship and a safe, joyful environment tailored completely to their daily routine! Your pup will enjoy the ultimate freedom and safety during their stay with me! I have a massive, 6-foot fenced-in yard that offers plenty of room for high-energy zoomies, fetch, and outdoor exploration. For absolute peace of mind, all gates are securely locked from the inside, making the yard 100% secure. When we are indoors, your dog will enjoy full access to the entire house, meaning they can lounge on the couch, follow me around, and truly treat my home as their own. They will never be restricted to a single room, ensuring they feel relaxed, comfortable, and fully part of the family.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention | give every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, comfort level, and set of needs, and I take the time to get to know them rather than using a one size fits all approach. I'm experienced with dogs of different energy levels and personalities, including playful, high energy dogs as well as more laidback pups who prefer a quiet, relaxed environment. I'm comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and other instructions provided by their owners. I'm also patient with puppies who are still learning and happy to provide extra attention and structure to senior dogs who may need a slower pace or additional care. Most importantly, I treat pet sitting as more than simply stopping by to feed a dog. I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you're away, and I want you to have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I'm dependable, communicative, and will happily send updates and photos so you don't feel like you're missing out while you’re away. I work from home, which allows pet care to fit naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, regular potty breaks and walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long periods of time. My schedule also gives me flexibility to accommodate each pet’s individual routine, whether they need frequent breaks, scheduled meals, medication, extra playtime, or simply someone nearby to make them feel comfortable. I enjoy having pets around while I work and am happy to make their care an important part of my day. Please no dropoffs before 8am and no pick ups after 8pm. Thank you 😊 Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I want every pet to feel comfortable, secure, and treated like part of the family. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and potty breaks without being exposed to traffic or other outdoor hazards. I’m also happy to follow each pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions from their owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and individual preferences. I keep a close eye on pets throughout their stay and make sure they have a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting a client’s home, I treat their space, belongings, and instructions with the same respect I would want for my own pets. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Note: If your pet is ill with a communicable sickness, please keep them home. I have two dogs in my home, and I greatly appreciate your understanding.

About: I've had my share of pets since I was probably about 6 years old and my love kept growing with them. I currently have 3 pets; 2 dogs (Pitbull and a Doberman mix) and a cockatiel. They are my world, along with my husband and 7-year-old twins. I work part-time so I can do late mornings, evenings, and/or weekends to fit your needs. I have a 4-hour break in between my morning work routes and I am off of work by 5 pm. How I care for my pets in my household, may be different from your house. I am able to adhere to any and all rules for your fur babies.

“Alyssa is very dependable and responsive to her clients. She does a great job caring for our Titan and she respects our home. We highly recommend Alyssa to anyone in need of a caring person to look after their pet.”

About: I have my own transportation and have animals at home so I personal experience as well as outside experience. I have been involved with a shelter for many years and have fostered dogs for one year. Having experience in a shelter aspect I am understanding of dietary restrictions and am able to give medications. I am extremely punctual and responsible. I love and care for all animals regardless of size or breed. I can do light cleaning around the house and will clean up after the pets. To me jobs such as these are extremely rewarding not only for the pet but for me since I love being around all animals and have lots of fun making connections with new animals. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets! I am a student and work part time. I do school through Oregon State University (online classes) so it doesn’t affect my schedule. I’m currently working 25 hours a week at a doggy daycare and boarding facility. I always make sure to follow care instructions closely. Calm, safe environments are needed in pet sitting and I feel I can provide different environments based on each pet. Any issues I will always immediately reach out.

About: Hi! Thanks for visiting our page! We’re Michelle and Christy, a wife duo, who both run this account and are here to take care of your pets so you can a stress free vacation/business trip/break! We have always talked about owning a farm and adopting every dog available but since we know that’s not possible right now, we figured we’d offer our services to take care of other pets. We know how hard it can be to find a pet sitter you can rely on and trust but we would like to be that for you. We treat our pups like family (because they are!) and your dogs will be no different. We don’t want you worrying when you’re on vacation or a business trip and will provide updates and photos as much as you’d like. We’ve taken care of dogs our entire life. We’ve had family pets and our own pets that we’ve walked, administered meds, fed, and cuddled. We currently work from home so we would always be home with the pets to hang out and take care of them. They could go out whenever they needed. At my home: have a fenced in yard and we have two pups that love to have fun running around and playing with other dogs. At your home: I work from home so I can be around all day to hang out and take care of your animals.

About: I have been taking care of the pets of friends and family for years, ranging from dog-walking to week-long pet sitting. Experience with a wide range of breeds and ages. I am a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule, so I can take care of animals pretty much any time during days when I am not subbing. For sitting at other’s’ home, I try and keep the pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible! I prefer sitting in other’s’ homes just to keep things simple for the furry babies.

“Great interaction with Milo, pleasant person all around. Highly recommended”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is a lifetime of dedicated, hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds—from cats, dogs, and birds to rabbits. My expertise spans every stage of a pet’s life, including raising energetic puppies and delivering compassionate end-of-life care for a terminally ill dog who needed to be hand-fed and wear diapers at just six years old. As an authentic animal lover with a deep well of specialized experience, I bring both the practical knowledge required for complex care routines and the genuine empathy every pet owner looks for. ♥️🐾 Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, serving as a primary focus alongside my other responsibilities while I am currently not working traditional hours. A major part of my days is dedicated to caring for my daughter's two German Shepherds, which keeps me active with regular feeding, exercise, and attentive supervision suited for large, high-energy breeds. Balancing this with part-time house cleaning and studying to earn my real estate license has taught me how to manage my time effectively, ensuring that every dog in my care receives consistent attention, structured routine, and dedicated affection throughout the week. When caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home, my top priority is maintaining their familiar routine to keep them feeling safe, happy, and stress-free. I adhere strictly to their usual feeding schedule, walking habits, and medication needs, while providing plenty of quality playtime and affection to keep them company. Beyond basic care, I keep a watchful eye on their health and behavior, ensure your home stays clean and secure, and send regular updates and photos so you have complete peace of mind while you are away.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since i was about 10. Neighbors and family have relied on me to take care of all their pets needs:) from days to a week i’ve always helped whoever needed some pet sitting. I help out and work at a barn 2 times a week and i have a pup, kitten and horse of my own that i take care of daily! I would love to meet your baby before coming into their home. some animals can be scared when it comes to new people so i would want the best experience for both you and your animal!

About: I have watched both dogs and cats for as long as two weeks at a time. I pay attention to any and all details clients provide. I will send as many pictures/updates as requested! I’m here to ease your mind while you’re enjoying time away from home. I am completely open on weekends! During the week is more limited but please submit a request and I’d love to discuss your pets needs. In my clients home I follow instruction closely. I understand each animal has specific needs. I will make them feel as comfortable as possible while their owner is away.

About: My experience with pets has been incredibly rewarding. I've taken care of various animals, each with its own personality and needs, which has helped me develop patience and empathy. I always strive to create a safe and loving environment, ensuring that pets feel happy and comfortable when their owners are away. I am available Monday through Sunday! I occasionally babysit, otherwise I am usually free to watch / walk / check up / take care of your pet(s)! When caring for pets in my home or my client's home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. I ensure that the space is secure and free from hazards, provide consistent and loving care, and maintain open communication with pet owners to build trust. This way, pets feel comfortable and well-cared for in any setting.

About: Hi, my name is Megan and I'm a huge dog-lover! I actually just resigned from my full-time position, so I will have pretty open availability for a while. I don't have any professional dog-sitting experience, but I am very caring and love dogs. I am also very reliable and have my own vehicle. I have volunteered a lot of hours at Animal Welfare as well, where I took care of both well and sick animals (mainly dogs). I tend to be the go-to for family and friends who need someone to watch their dogs, because they know how well I treat their animals and how much I enjoy it! Let me take your pup off your hands :)

About: I have an extensive history working and volunteering in the animal field. I’m currently an Animal Control Officer for a municipality. Thank you for giving me the amazing opportunity of caring for your dog or cat because I know they are one of the family. I currently am a senior in college in Bourbonnais and I also work weekends at a doggie daycare. I love spending time with all animals. I will provide whatever care you as an owner instruct me too, but of course I look forward to giving your pet lots of love

About: Hi, I’m Mia! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years through dog walking, pet sitting, and daily care. I truly believe every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m located in the South Suburbs of Chicago and proudly serve dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, and administering medications when needed. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide reliable walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, companionship, and personalized care based on your pet’s routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, learning new skills, or simply relaxing with company, I’m happy to tailor my care to what makes them happiest. Safety, patience, and communication are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets active and engaged, and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and my goal is simple: to make sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, loved, and stress free in their own environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I have a flexible schedule. This allows me to plan my day around walks, drop in visits, feeding times, and playtime so each pet receives consistent attention and care throughout the day or week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain their normal routine. This includes feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, cleaning up after pets, refreshing water, and keeping their environment safe, clean, and comfortable. I also make sure doors and leashes are secured and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior to ensure they are safe and relaxed while their owner is away.
