With the busy schedules my husband and I have, we use Melissa weekly for recurring walks. She is great about picking up extra walks when we need, so our fur baby has some consistency with all traveling I do for work. Bruno loves her and I love the peace of mind she gives us! Thanks Melissa for all you do!

Elizabeth is fantastic! My dog Lela, is always well cared for, walked and played with during each visit. I love how Elizabeth gives daily updates and shows how happy Lela is. I never have to worry about her when she’s with Elizabeth. She has built a great relationship with our dog. She is extremely professional and responsible. I would recommend her services for anyone who is struggling to find a wonderful dog walker!

About: I’ve Taken care of and trained over dozens of animals in over 6 years. I was an assistant pet trainer/groomer at a dog kennel. And volunteer for several animal shelters. I love taking care of animals of all kind, but specifically cats and dogs! I’m currently working part time remotely, so I’ll have a lot of time to make sure you pet is loved and cared for! I have a cat of my own and I always make sure she’s happy and healthy! I like to take walks 2-3 times a day so I don’t mind making sure your fur baby has had plenty of potty breaks. I live in a gated community with a fence separating me from my neighbors. I also have a huge backyard and plenty of space to keep your animals active and happy. I also love taking walks and having outside time. They deserve to have fun and enjoy their day too!

Megan was a wonderful addition to our extended pet family! She was on time and always sent every update on every walk with photos. She’s a very kind woman and my pets loved her! She took my one dog on walks and helped my senior dog go outside and was successful in keeping my escape artist cat in the house. She fed them right and was just very accommodating to their every need. I will definitely use her again and I recommend her to you! Thanks Megan!

I booked Tabbie to walk our doggies and she was a lifesaver these past couple of days. Tabbie was very responsive, prompt, courteous and on time. She even asked if I wanted to walk them longer which I appreciated that a lot. A tired dog is a good dog and they were nice and tired. I will definitely be using Tabbie for more dog walks!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—dogs, cats, and everything in between. What sets me apart is that I truly get pets. I know how to read their body language, meet their emotional needs, and create a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and happy. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from high-energy pups to slow-moving seniors. I’m patient with leash training, gentle with nervous animals, and happy to give medication if needed. If your pet has a routine, I’ll stick to it like clockwork. If they just need company and love, I’m all in. To me, this isn’t just a job—it’s about caring for your pet like they’re family. I’m home full-time, so your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and company throughout the day. Whether it’s regular walks, play breaks, or just being nearby for comfort, I’m available and fully present. My flexible schedule makes it easy to accommodate your pet’s routine—early mornings, midday walks, or evening check-ins included. I live right off 93rd & Pleasant in North Beverly, with a huge yard where your dog can safely play, explore, and chase a ball (or two). It’s a secure, peaceful space that’s perfect for outdoor time. I’m also just steps away from the Dan Ryan Forest Preserve—ideal for nature walks full of fresh air, trails, and plenty of exciting things to sniff. Whether your pup needs adventure or a calm environment, I’ve got it covered. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority. I follow all care instructions, never leave pets unattended outside, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

My Stella and I were extremely happy with Margaret’s dog walking services. My Stella loved her at first sight. A sixty-one pound dog can be hard to handle and Margaret handled Stella with ease. Always willing to accommodate changed walking times, extremely reliable and very friendly. I plan on using Margaret in the future. Five star service for sure!

Gionna was great! From the first message I sent to inquire through the last message after her last walk with Roxy! Her communication was spot on and her care for Roxy was very assuring. She came for a meet and greet since she was Roxy’s first walker. They hit it off and had great walks while I was gone making me more relaxed and less worried to enjoy my weekend away. Thank you Gionna, we can’t wait to work with you again!

About: I'm a nanny, so whenever I am with one of my kiddos, I'm with their fur sibling(s) too. I love being outdoors with animals, just as it is with little children, it's fun watching them get so excited discover new (and old) things! I'm currently working part-time with a pretty flexible schedule. It gives me plenty of time for playing, walking, and just checking in on your fur family! I value open communication and respect house rules. So, I tend to ask lots of questions about what you as parents do and don't allow in your space, but I let the pets enjoy their home within those confines. I mean, who wants to be bored at home?

About: I take in a family dog alot and have my own kitten, they get along and my babies know theyre in good hands and so are yours !! I work and go to school full time & i cut my hours at work to study more. I have more time to fit in a few hours of my day to help others who cant get to their pets routinez I know how important it is to feel at ease when someone else is caring for your pet. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your furry family member feels happy, safe, and loved. Ensuring pet friendly space and supervision, offering fresh water, making time for play or walk, gives animal the attention needed and can send updates to owners.

About: As a previous dog owner and sitter of nearly a decade, I have a very strong skill set when it comes to catering to your unique pup's needs! I am keen on carefully following the instructions left by dog owners while also using my own sensible judgement to make the best decisions for each pet. I can't wait to meet both you and your pup! I am a full-time CMU student, so I'm available to care for your pet(s) predominately on the weekends and all semester breaks during the school year, but anytime during the summer! I live in an apartment that doesn't allow dogs unfortunately. However, I do live within 3-5 minutes away from several parks, including Mellon Park, The Walled Garden, and Baum Grove Park.

I can’t say enough good things about Simone! She’s been punctual and reliable, which gives me so much peace of mind. You can tell Simone genuinely cares about dogs and humans too! She’s easy to communicate with, friendly, and always keeps me updated. My Bernedoodle absolutely loves Simone. I’ve noticed such a difference in how calm and happy he is after walks. I also appreciate that Simone keeps safety at the forefront of their walks; whether it’s being mindful of surroundings, encountering other dogs while walking, or just making sure everything is secure during the walk. Overall all, awesome experience. Totally Recommend! I will definitely be a repeat client
