Dog Walking Warren

About: I love dogs and I can handle any size: big or small or anywhere in between. I went through a dog obedience training with my dog who was a fox terrier. As well as took the Rover training course and I think I did very well on it. I can do long walks and short walks, in the city or in the country, morning or evening on most days. I did have to pick up a full time job, so I'm available weekends, with weekdays on a as needed basis. So I'll need all information before booking. I've always enjoy working with and watching animals. My home is currently not an environment that I'm comfortable bringing your pet into. I have roommates and not a completely fenced yard. I'm more than willing to spend time with and work around your animals comfort. I have found keeping to what they are used to makes for a happier furry family member.

About: I’ve had some kind of furry friend for the last 15 years, originally with a Dachshund pup to now caring for 3 cats with my wife - 2 adult and 1 senior - with all sorts of furry friends in between! Throw in our Akita for some chaotic energy as well! I’ve cared for other pets as well on numerous occasions for friends and family, occasionally house sitting for some pets that were unable to be boarded due to stress and anxiety. This included pets that required medication and/or injections as well. I’ve trained all the dogs I had with multiple methods, and manage the current training regiment for our Akita. I’m fluent in basic commands (sit, stay, heel, come) both on and off leash, and have taught additional tricks (paw, kennel) via positive reinforcement techniques. While I do work full-time, I am largely flexible due to working remotely. I would prefer any elongated visits to occur after 3pm, but am more than glad to pop in for an hour during the day. Nights and Weekends are largely free sans any travel for work. I have experience with pets from all ranges of ages and backgrounds, and can meet most special requirements as needed. Every pet is special to someone, and deserves to be treated as if they were my own.

“Carmella was awesome with Nelly! She spent an hour walking and playing with her while I was gone. When I arrived home Nelly was in such a good mood, I could tell she had fun. Carmella has great communication, I highly recommend!”

About: Certified dog trainer and behaviorist. Pet CPR certified Medication dispensing knowledge Grooming knowledge I own a 2 year old Goldendoodle, Winnie. I raised her while going to school for my certification from 12 weeks old. I practice positive reinforcement with balanced training. We work hard and play harder, and love an active lifestyle. I’m a stay-at-home mom and I intentionally keep my schedule open so I can provide consistent, attentive care. I enjoy staying busy and working with animals daily. Available 7 days a week, typically 9am–9pm. Weekend availability varies based on client needs. Animals in my care are treated like family, but with structure. I provide clear boundaries, routine, and guidance so pets feel secure and understood. Pets are given time to play, eat, potty, train, and rest. I incorporate basic manners and calm behavior into daily care so they’re not just being watched—they’re learning. I have a young child in the home, so I need to know ahead of time if a pet is sensitive or reactive around children. Requirements: Up-to-date on vaccinations (including rabies) No intact dogs over 2 years old Must be safe to handle in a home environment I also use long leads when appropriate to safely allow freedom while maintaining control, which is helpful for recall and behavior work.

About: Dogs are life. I've raised and trained several puppies, healed sick dogs with herbs and cared generally for dogs my entire life.

I have a fenced yard in the back and a whole 5 acres of roaming land and a doggo to keep your company and show em the lay of the land.

About: I have been around animals, both dogs and cats, for most of my life, so I know what goes into taking care of them (even the ones who need a little extra help). I am currently freelance and remote, so I am able to change my schedule around to suite the needs of both you and your pet. I am able to travel to your home either overnight or for drop-in care whenever needed. I will follow all set rules about whatever space I use to a T.

“Rylee was kind, eager and communicative. Artie liked her immediately! So much so that he jumped up and attempted to give her kisses on the chin. Can’t wait to book her again when she is back from Spring Break.”

Paula J.

About: I’ve been passionate about animals since childhood and have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs. Throughout my life, I’ve also cared for a variety of other animals, including cats, small mammals, reptiles, and birds. I’ve personally raised and cared for many different dog breeds, including Pomeranians, Maltese, Poodles, Shiba Inus, Retrievers, Shepherds, and mixed breeds. I’m familiar with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs, from playful puppies to senior dogs. When I had pets of my own, I also entrusted them to pet sitters, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone reliable, caring, and attentive. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved companion in someone else’s care. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide attentive, personalized care in a clean, comfortable apartment with no other pets. My community has convenient outdoor areas and lovely walking paths for exercise and potty breaks. I'll also send you photo updates throughout the day so you can have peace of mind! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including weekdays and weekends. With advance notice, I can often adjust my availability to fit your pet’s routine. Feel free to reach out anytime🤍🐾

“Thank you so much for taking my booking so last minute! And going above and beyond with walking Benny.”

“Lena did a great job walking my sweet but reactive Cowpie. She gets so sad when I'm away and Lena was able to get her out the door and make it happen.”

I’m currently unemployed as I am waiting for government clearance to start my job as a research assistant! I’m located in the Chicago suburbs so I’m able to provide care to suburbs and Chicago! I’ll provide full attention to your pet and treat them as my own! I love spending time with pets in any setting such as outside or indoors. Pets are a member of a family and should be treated as such!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work at Orangetheory from 4:00 AM–12:30 PM most mornings, so I’m free and flexible for pet care the rest of the day. I’m available for drop-ins and care on weekdays after 12:30 PM and weekends after 2PM. I’m also happy to stay overnight at your home any day of the week or weekend. I can easily work pet care into my routine and am happy to accommodate your pet’s schedule and needs! When I’m caring for pets at a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and sticking to their normal routine. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, go on walks, play, give lots of attention, and provide any other care they need. When staying at a client’s home, I’ll also make sure to respect and care for their space while giving their pets plenty of love and companionship.

About: Hi there! My name is Brandon Foley and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had my Black Lab, and my cat. I also helped my Aunt with her pet sitting business in Chicago. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. I currently work part-time, which leaves me with lots of time to love on and play with your pups! As long as I know in advance, my schedule is quite flexible. When I am away from home it’s usually for no more than a few hours. More time to spend with your pet! I take dog watching very seriously and safety is my number one priority. Your dog will always have someone around to give it lots of attention and affection. I'll do everything I can to to meet the needs of your dog to assure they are safe, comfortable, and having fun during your time away.

I do have two cats at home so I still need to check in on them as well. I always make sure everything is tidy and that each pet gets equal amount of care. Set daily and weekly routines for them and always check over them to make sure there's nothing abnormal.
