Dog Walking South Oak Park

“I don’t know what we’d do without Hans! Probably never be able to leave town again! He’s wonderful with our leash reactive anxious mess, and we came home to a dog who heeled much better than when we left!”

“Marina is incredibly responsive and provided wonderful care for my old dog. I can tell my dog likes her visits and walks. Marina is attentive, asks questions, and overall very caring. Highly recommend Marina!”

“Ashley is absolutely the best! My dog is a little hyperactive and very suspicious of strangers. Ashley was able to put him at ease and befriend him right away. He is so excited to see her every time she comes. Highest recommendation.”

About: As a friend to all dogs, I have been trusted for over 15 years to care for the fur babies of friends, family, and acquaintances. I take pride in my attention to detail when caring and providing comfort. As someone who is a stay-at-home partner, I devote a lot of time to our two dogs and have the time for more dogs that need supplemental guardianship. On walks, I am fiercely protective of their safety and make sure the fun factor is never absent. At homes, hydration & nutrition are high priorities and ensure they are fed based on their normal routines. Play time is a must, if your canine friend enjoys it.

About: We are so excited to take care of your pups! They will definitely enjoy relaxing, playing, or taking walks!!! I can guarantee they will receive the same comfort that my own dog receives. Open to caring for your pups in your own home, drop in visits, or walks! Just let me know! I work from home so I am super flexible, can take to bathroom or walks throughout the day. Will also be able to stay with them throughout the day. I can be accommodating and spend the necessary amount of time caring for your pet(s), each situation is different so just send me a message and we can discuss! :)

“Sophia was very sweet and kind. I appreciate her being on time and giving me an update on how their walk went. Boomer came back very tired, mission accomplished! Thank you Sophia. Looking forward to seeing you again”

About: Hello! I’m new to Rover, but entering the game with a lifetime of experience in pet care and house sitting. I absolutely adore animals and am ready to be your pet’s new bestie. I specialize in caring for cats and small to medium sized dogs, but I’m flexible, so please feel free to reach out with questions. I have two beloved indoor cats (Ellie & Ripley) and help care for my neighborhood cat colony (Cowboy, Bandit, Siren, Margo, Andy, Daisy, Mugsy, etc). Every kitty has a unique personality and different needs. I’m happy to learn your cat’s individual routine and quirks so you don’t have to worry about their standards being met while you are away. I grew up with 2-5 dogs in the household at a time, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of various sizes, breeds, and stages of life. Whether your pup needs extra patience, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, they will be in good/loving hands. I’m primarily a self-employed artist/small business owner who works from home so I have an extremely flexible schedule. Feel free to reach out with last minute requests, especially if you are re-booking a service and I have already met your pet before. As a house sitter I am clean and respectful of each pet owner’s personal space. I will take quality care of your home so that you have one less thing to think about while traveling. I aim to treat everyone’s home and pets the way I would want mine treated: protected and loved, with attention to detail.

“Will definitely hire Magdalena again! She was responsive, punctual, and took such good care of Bonnie!”

About: Long time dog owner and lover. My 1.5 year old husky mix has been my ultimate challenge. I've learned more patience and gained confidence as we work towards making her a model citizen. If you also wouldn't describe you dog as "easy" I might be the right fit for you. I am currently home full time with my pup. This means I have lots of time and flexibility to work with all types of schedules. I have experience with many types of handling equipment and can confidently crate you dog or calmly leave them on their favorite bed. I will follow your directions and do all I can to keep your pups routine consistent.

“We are so thankful to Natalie for taking care of our Wally. She gave us great updates and was great at communicating. We can tell Wally misses her already.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life! I was raised caring for our pets as part of the family and I hope to get the chance to extend my care and love to your furry family members! I also have a 1.5 year old mini dachshund named Pabu - so I have experience with the puppy years! I love to try to fulfill as many of your pet’s needs as possible - playing tug of war, setting up sniffing games, and even teaching them a trick or two for their mental stimulation. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! I currently work T/W/Th so have plenty of flexibility during the rest of the week when it comes to caring for your furry friends! My puppy is crate trained and I’m walking distance from a dog park. For your furry friends, I’m comfortable walking them along new or familiar routes and have experience with reactive dogs if they need a little extra attention to the surroundings! I also have experience setting mental stimulation games!

About: Hello! My name is Violet and I’m 19. I’ve taken care of many dogs with varying ages and sizes since I was 15. I’m a volunteer/foster home at Front Street Animal Shelter and have fostered multiple dogs and puppies. This experience has deepened my understanding of animals as well as how to properly care for them. Along with this I assist friends and family pets frequently whenever they need me. I currently own a dog I adopted from the shelter 8 years ago, he is a mixed pup around 20lb and is good with other dogs. Currently I’m open full time for your pet, and I take any size pets. I am searching for more job experience and opportunities. I'm passionate about providing top-notch care for your beloved furry friends. I am currently free most of summer, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets! I’m available for boarding all week, as well as drop in visits. I have a fenced yard with one very friendly dog to keep your pup company. I’ll supervise to ensure the safety of all pets. If provided I’m able to easily crate your dog. I’ll be sure to follow all instructions given, whether at my home or at yours.

“Reece was fantastic! He offered a meet and greet to get to know my dog and me. He walked our dog a long distance even in the pouring rain! I would highly recommend Reece to care for your pet!”

About: I've been a pet owner and animal lover my whole life! I grew up with both cats and dogs, and have experience volunteering in animal shelters and watching friends' pets. I currently own both a dog and cat, and am happy to take care of both. I understand that pets are family and I'll treat them like my very own. I will provide a calm, reliable, caring experience for your pets. I am currently able to accept short-term overnights (3-4 nights), with the possibility of a longer commitment with drop-in visits. My job is somewhat flexible, but your pet must be ok with staying alone for at least 4 hours at a time. My current job provides me with a very flexible schedule during summer months. I can work most hours of the day (mornings, afternoons, evenings) and am more than happy to book any last-minute requests for sitting or walks. I have a car so I can easily drive to clients' homes for walks, check-ins or overnight stays. I have experience running my own small business, and I understand the importance of organization, communication and reliability with my clients. I love animals and getting to know them, and I will take care of your animals as if they're my own.

“Michelle is an excellent dog Walker! She’s done a great job with my little girl VIDA. She is very in tune with her individual needs. I would highly recommend Michelle to walk your dog!”

About: I’ve taken care of my friends pets over the past 9yrs so I consider them my babies as well! My friends appreciate that which is why I’ve been trusted by them many times over the years. I’m free full time for the time being and open to over nights as well. I’m also available for drop in pet sitting as needed too. I always make sure pets are let out and fed as well as receive plenty of love, cuddles and attention. I’ve found over the years that those are the basic necessities when it comes to pet care.

“I can’t say enough about how pleased I am with Bari and the way she took care of my border collie Woody. You can tell she has a genuine love for dogs and she takes her rover responsibilities very seriously. During my trip I was always in the know about how my dog was doing because Bari reached out to me each time she tended to him with texts and pictures which gave me peace of mind knowing that my dog is in great hands and being taken care of exceptionally well. I highly recommend Bari.”

About: I’m a pet sitter who specializes in cats and reptiles (I have a crested gecko myself), but am open to any pets. I’ve taken care of cats and dogs of varying sizes and ages, and, through my consistency and responsibility, am trusted by friends and family to take care of their pets. I’m a recent graduate taking time off, so I have an open schedule to take care of your pets. I have a car and can reliably travel to your house. My top priority is ensuring your pets are safe and maintaining the trust of my clients. When in my clients home, I treat it with respect and ensure that your pets have a safe and fun time while you are away! I always like to send lots of updates and pictures of your pets.
