“Klara has been amazing to work with and we look forward to continue working with her. She visits regularly to give our dog a bathroom break. She is very patient and was willing to go through several meet and greets so our pup could get used to her. Great communication. Highly recommend!!”
“Amy came out to walk our lab, Ralph, on Christmas Eve with less than 24 hours notice! She responded to our last minute request right away and was extremely accommodating and professional. Ralph liked her right away and they enjoyed a nice long walk. I’m so grateful Amy was willing and able to help us out in our time of need! Highly recommend!”
“Karen was great. She took the time to meet Sadie and understand her needs. The two walks were just enough to satisfy Sadie and give me peace of mind that she was being well cared for. Thank you Karen!”
“Erica was great. She was able to accommodate a last minute request and even was able to do a meet and greet before. My dog is a senior so she didn't need a long walk. Erica offered to sit with her in the house after because the walk was short. I thought that was nice that she asked. She had great communication and I appreciate that. I'll be using Erica again. Thank you so much for caring for my sweet girl.”
“Zikra is a Rover Rockstar! She takes excellent care of my fun-loving little furry fella! She is extremely courteous and timely with her communications. A true professional in her field; or for us its the park down the street. 4 paws up and a wagging tail makes her a 5 star candidate all the way!”
“Laurie is awesome! She is very patient with Dodo and stayed out with him during the entire time when it was snowing and raining. Really appreciate her help!”
About: I work from home most days and enjoy walking midday and as my time permits. Currently I volunteer at an animal shelter walking and running dogs of all sizes. Having a furry companion makes it all the more enjoyable! I currently have a hybrid work schedule but it is flexible when working from home. Dog walking makes sense as my schedule is consistent and I love to walk! I can ensure that your pet will be happy and safe by following your guidelines and instructions. If your pet has special needs, I can adhere to those too!
“Stephen is great with our silly, high energy dog Roxy (doberman). We always feel comfortable she is in good hands under their care and she is always happy (based on the fun photo update we get). I would highly recommend their services”
“Caroline is so dependable and truly great with dogs. Sue absolutely loves our dog and he looks so forward to playing with her. I have complete trust in her knowing Cody is in great hands.”
“Tamara's great! While she was on vacation, Mosie had another dog walker whom he also liked but he and I are both excited to have Tamara back! She adjusts her schedule to meet Mosie's needs and truly cares about him; the dogs she walks are not just job and the dogs can tell that she cares.”
“Lauren is fantastic! So communicative and easy to work with. Our little French bulldog loved her too, and we are grateful we had someone we could rely on to check on and walk her every day. Will definitely hire again!”
“Helena has been amazing with our dog! I made sure Helena met our dog and ME before we began our walks and I was fortunate Helena agreed. From the moment our dog met Helena he was calm and receptive to her care. Typically, our dog is distrustful of strangers coming into our house, but he didn't respond that way with her. Helena has shown herself to be very dependable, responsible, loving and has the trust of our dog and his dog parents. I strongly recommend her.”
“Grace is a wonderful dog walker, she quickly became our two boys favorite. Thank you so much and will always use Grace for walks when possible.”
About: Hi, first a little bit of what I do: I am a digital media consultant and producer, working from home with a flexible schedule. Now for the animal lover in me: I grew up with animals and am comfortable with pets so if you have a cat and a dog, I am more than happy to be there for both of them. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, walking dogs, playing with cats so they aclimate to people as they prepare for adoption. Personally, I’ve had three cats and a dog since I was a kid. I know pets need love and care and when you are not able to, I can be a substitute to watch out for them and keep them feel safe and happy!
About: I have a lifelong love for dogs, having grown up walking and taking care of them! My experience includes handling various breeds and sizes, ensuring their safety and happiness during walks. I am excited to care for your furry family member! I have open availability to walk your pups during the week! My schedule is very flexible, and I am willing to work with you to ensure your dog(s) needs are met. I have a friendly fur baby to keep your dog(s) company! My house is “pup proof” ensuring there is no accessible food or items pups may want to chew on. Instead, I have a full basket of toys they can play with!
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to birds, fish, and even hermit crabs! I currently have a 5-year-old Labrador who’s full of energy and loves to test my leash skills, so I’m very familiar with handling strong, enthusiastic dogs on walks. I also had a cat for 10 years and know how to meet both affectionate and independent pets where they’re at. Whether it’s senior pets, puppies, or any sized animal with special personalities, I approach each animal with patience, respect, and love. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, I'm already walking my high energy Lab multiple times a day, so I’m used to staying active and planning around pet needs. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate any time in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings during the week and on weekends. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or longer stays, I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and cared for. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort above all else, whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine. At your home, I follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s space, and keep the environment calm and secure. I always double check doors, gates, and leashes to prevent any escapes, which I have personally learned from my own dog. If your pet stays at my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space designed to reduce stress and encourage play and relaxation. I’m experienced with animals of all temperaments, from high-energy Labs to shy cats, and tailor my approach to meet each pet’s unique needs. I’m fully committed to building trust with both you and your pet through consistent communication, timely updates, and a compassionate attitude.

About: I've taken care of dogs & cats for the last decade. Friends and family found me to be reliable, fun, and energetic when taking care of their companion pups & kitties.

Weekdays are great - especially mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. I am available on weekends too. I love dogs! I am looking to walk dogs & house sit furry companions in and around the northern suburbs of Chicago. I have cared for friends' dogs & cats in my previous residences.
