Dog Walking Shorewood

“Abby is a great dog walker. Our dog George was shy at first, but he soon began waiting at the gate for her appearances. We look forward to hiring her again. As does George.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life alongside some smaller furry friends. I am well versed in giving medication to animals orally and I am here to provide the best care you your furry loved ones. I currently have pretty much open availability to care for your pets whenever they may need it. Any day of the week and any time. I am very good at following instructions to a tee to make sure you animals stay happy and healthy and get exactly what they need. I will provide whatever they need on the schedule that they need.

“Mika was amazing. They took the time to connect with my boy. My boy is hesitant about letting people getting him out of the crate and Mika was so sweet with Salvador. We will definitely be booking with them again!”

About: I don't actually call myself that, that's what my friends say I am. I've literally never met a dog I didn't get on famously with. I respect the fact that they are individuals with their own needs. I don't mean to sound too self assured with the title, but I earned it from friends. Whether it's running on the Lake Michigan shore or just finding a nice sunny spot to sit for a while, your pup is going to have a fulfilling day. I have huge flexibility so no worries! A last minute trip or planned weeks in advance, we can work something out. I'm here for you! Even same day! I strive for communication as much as possible between animal and human. If they're not feeling like socializing, I don't force anything. Everyone has different needs. My experience in a dog daycare really helped me read and understand dog body language to head off any issues that may arise when you're watching 12 dogs.

About: I have had experience caring for many different kinds of animals throughout my life, such as dogs, horses, guinea pigs, and fish. I am comfortable and confident with walking, feeding, bathing, etc. I am a full-time grad student, and I also work a part-time job. My schedule is a little different each weekday, sometimes with breaks in the middle of the day. I am available all day on the weekends. I do not currently care for any pets in my home. I am not currently accepting jobs that require a pet to stay in my home.

“If you’re looking for a dog walker I highly recommend Melissa. She was prompt, professional, and took excellent care of my small dog. She asked relevant questions about my dog before leaving for the walk, and afterwards gave me a thorough update of the walk. I feel comfortable with her in charge of my beloved sweet furry friend!!”

About: For 5 years, I’ve cared for a foster cat I adopted, looked after 3 senior cats—including giving medication—and am experienced with home visits to feed and play. I’m looking to spend my days off walking and playing with pets! With an open schedule, I love taking frequent walks around town and would be thrilled to have a furry companion join me for some fun and exercise. I’m available most days of the week and ready to help your pet get moving! While I don’t offer pet sitting in my own home, I’m dedicated to respecting your pet’s routine and following your guidelines to provide the best care possible in your home.

About: I have been the primary walker/caretaker for my childhood dog’s entire 12-year life. Her name is Stella and she is a sassy rat terrier, so I have plenty of experience with energetic breeds. I have also occasionally cared for the pets of neighbors and family, including my uncle’s 4 Tibetan mastiffs. I have a very flexible schedule as I am currently studying from home for the Bar. I am a recent college grad with a wide open schedule. I plan on moving to Milwaukee in June, so until then I am seeking gig work while I live with my parents in Lake county I will cherish your pets and shower them with affection when they are under my care. Unfortunately, I cannot host pets in my home as I live with my parents.

“Sara is terrific. She came to my rescue when I got locked out of the house. Way above and beyond. My dogs love her too!! Thanks Sara.”

About: My name is Alisha. I work as a professional dog trainer. I have 7 years of professional experience with both cats and dogs. I have also house-sat multiple times and have great references! I know how to give cats and dogs proper care and attention. I have worked with hundreds of animals professionally through my work in multiple animal shelters as a kennel tech and shelter manager. I am working towards certification in dog training too! While watching or walking your pup I will be sure to watch for opportunities to learn! When it comes to your pets care you deserve someone who knows all about them! I will take the time to learn about your pet and your routines to keep your pet comfortable and happy in your absence!

About: I have taken care of animals all my life. I have experience with cats, dogs, birds, and reptiles. Everyone I work with is guaranteed to be satisfied and well taken care of. My passion for taking care of animals goes beyond making sure their basic needs are met. My 7+ years of volunteer work at cat shelters and 10+ years of pet sitting are perfect for any kind of pet regardless of their needs. I am currently a full time student, so in between classes, I am able to stop by and take care of your critters. I have two cats of my own and understand the importance of routine. I am flexible and caring when it comes to taking care of your furry family. I always let the dog or cat drive the interaction. I am safe, friendly, and patient when entering a home or approaching a new situation. I always come prepared.

“I needed a walker yesterday because I couldn’t be physically away from my home, so I was there when Andrew arrived. He texted when he was on his way, arrived promptly, and spent a couple of extra minutes greeting Rosie, on her level, letting her check him out and get comfortable with him - I was pleased. When they were out walking, a friend happened to see them and called me to tell me that she was impressed with how patient and gentle he was with her. He obviously made a positive impression on Rosie because she was very excited when he returned in the afternoon for her 2nd walk. I will definitely use Andrew for my future needs.”

About: I’m Back! 🐾 Experienced 5-Star Sitter, Nurse & Lifelong Animal Lover! After a three-year break from Rover, I’m excited to be back! I’ve truly missed the joy that comes from caring for your fur babies, building relationships with them, and giving pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are in loving hands. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always believed they’re more than just pets—they’re family! I’m a proud dog mom to two pups of my own, Opal and Nash, and understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your four-legged family members. A little about me: I’m a registered nurse with a background in critical care and care coordination. I recently earned my Master’s degree in Nursing Leadership and Administration and am currently pursuing my MBA in Healthcare Administration. Nursing has taught me to be compassionate, dependable, attentive to detail, and calm under pressure—all qualities I bring to caring for animals, too! With 37 five-star Rover reviews, I’m grateful for the trust so many families have placed in me over the years. Whether it’s a long walk, some playtime, a potty break, or simply extra love and attention while you’re away, I treat every pet as if they were my own. While my schedule is a little more limited these days between nursing, graduate school, and life with my own pups, I’d love to continue doing something that brings me so much happiness! I’m currently offering dog walking and drop-in visits only, rather than overnight stays or boarding. I know how much your pets mean to you, and my goal is to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. You can count on plenty of TLC, reliable communication, and photo updates along the way! I can’t wait to reconnect with familiar furry faces and meet some new ones! 🐶💕 I currently work full-time Monday through Friday usually until 3:30p or 4p I’d love to help with walks/cares in the evenings or a play date with my dogs; we have a big fenced in yard and love walks. I’d also love to board or do cares over the weekends that I’m free! I have a fenced in yard and love to walk around my safe neighborhood near Mount Mary University; I can also come to your home and care for your pets there. I am happy to meet you/your pet(s) ahead of time to ensure it’s a good fit. Very flexible and prefer detailed instructions to ensure I give them the best care!

About: I currently have no dogs of my own however I have always been surrounded by dogs. Whether that be small or relatively large dogs. I am quite energetic and love spending time with any dog I come across. I got a few pets of my own :) I only work 3 days a week so most of my week I’m surrounded by a bunch of fur babies. I do not live in a house however I have a fairly large neighborhood and many parks around me in which they are dog friendly.

“Cathy is so sweet! You can tell she really cares about animals. She went above and beyond to take care of my Laird. Thanks so much Cathy”

About: I've had animals my whole life. From fish to frogs. Dogs ranging from a Corgi to a Rottweiler. Once had 6 cats and 3 dogs. I currently have a 15yr old hound mix who is half blind and deaf. I am no stranger to medicine and little accidents I work full time Monday through Friday but I have every weekend and evening off! Looking to spend time with any furry friend. I feel as though a walk after a work day is healing. I am an early riser or a night owl. I will walk any distance because I love hiking. Me and your fur baby will go on multiple adventures.

About: I am excited to offer dedicated dog walking and personalized in-home sitting tailored to your pet's specific personality. My goal is to maintain the comfort of their home environment while providing the physical and mental stimulation they need. A typical visit or walk includes: Structured Exercise: Brisk walks or backyard fetch to burn off energy. Mental Enrichment: Basic command reinforcement and puzzle toy play. Safety First: Leash safety, checking water bowls, and ensuring your home is secure. Personalized Attention: Brushing, belly rubs, and companionship for those who just want a friend nearby. I have been surrounded by dogs literally since the day I was born, giving me a natural "dog intuition" when it comes to reading body language and moods. Currently, I am raising my own puppy, which has given me specialized, hands-on experience with the "hard stuff": potty training, teething, high-energy management, and the patience required for consistent training. Whether your pet is a senior who needs a gentle touch or a rambunctious puppy still learning their manners, I have the experience to handle both ends of the spectrum with ease. As a student at SCAD, my schedule is predictable and fits perfectly with pet care. I am not a 9-5 office worker; instead, I use the breaks between my classes to check in on my furry clients, ensuring they aren't left alone for long periods. I am primarily available for early morning walks, midday drop-ins, and overnight house sitting. When I’m house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect I treat my own. Since I’m often working on my creative projects, I am the perfect "passive companion" for pets who thrive on having someone in the room. You can expect frequent photo updates and open communication so you can have total peace of mind while you're away. As a SCAD student, my schedule is consistent and easy to plan around. I’m available for morning and evening walks, and I strategically use the breaks between my classes to check in on your pets. When I’m house sitting, I treat your home with the utmost respect. My own experience raising a puppy has made me highly disciplined with routines; I ensure your dog gets their exercise, feedings, and plenty of one-on-one attention exactly when they expect it. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick walk or staying the night, your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! In Your Home: Safety is my top priority. Having a puppy of my own, I am hyper-aware of 'pet-proofing'. keeping chewable hazards, toxic plants, and small objects out of reach. I am a firm believer in the 'Double-Door' rule and always ensure gates or doors are secure before unleashing a pet. During walks, I am vigilant about surroundings, keeping a firm grip on the leash and avoiding interactions with unknown dogs to ensure a stress-free experience." Building Trust: I understand that your home is your sanctuary. I pride myself on being respectful, clean, and communicative. I provide detailed photo and text updates after every walk or check-in so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. As a SCAD student, I am used to following strict schedules, so you can trust that feedings, medications, and potty breaks will happen exactly on time.
