Dog Walking In Waterfront

“The proof of Jackie’s expertise is with the pups. They adored her. She is obviously a dog person. We’ll be booking her again as a sitter. I know that bean and sprout will have a wonderful time with her. Thanks Jackie!”

“Elisabeth professional, kind, and clearly has a passion for dogs. Our dog Sullivan, took right to her, and walked very well for her. He came back from their walk. We look forward to more walks with Elisabeth”

“ElizaE was excellent! My dog has always tended to bark intensely at people she doesn’t know and then hide if the person doesn’t leave. ElizaE took the time to help our dog Jenna get to know her and trust her. She took her on familiar routes for her walks and let her spend some time in one of her favorite places- our back yard. It was very reassuring to get the messages and pictures and know that Jenna was having a good experience while we were gone. I highly recommend ElizaE.”

About: I have had a number of small pets over the years, including, the two rescue cats I currently share with my partner. I have also had small dogs and taken care of family member’s large and other types of dogs. I love all animals and can’t wait to meet yours! I work virtually and make my own schedule so I can make pet care fit all throughout the day depending on their needs! I can be very flexible. I can offer pets any care they need- snuggles, walks, play or space if that’s what they prefer. Of course, I will be attentive to food, water, and potty time/litter boxes.

About: My name is Karlyn. I am a safety-certified petcare specialist who formerly worked at a pet hotel and doggy day camp. I have extensive training in how to properly care for your dogs (and cats!) I have experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have a 7 year old Papillon rescue named Archie, and he is the love of my life! Although I absolutely adore all dogs, small dogs will always hold a special place in my heart. A little more about me: I am 27 years old and I am an on-set prop master in television/film. I am located in the Elmwood Village, but I have a car so I don’t mind traveling a few extra miles! I work freelance so I have an abundance of free time between films! I have no other responsibilities when I’m off set, so I can focus all of my energy on your furry friend! I do everything in my power to make each pet feel comfortable and loved. I also spend a lot of time exercising and mentally stimulating each pet.

“I have a large, energetic 80 lb Saint Berdoodle (Archie), and I specifically hired Ian because Archie needs more enrichment, structure, and help with his manners—especially his habit of jumping on people at home and on walks. From our very first meet-and-greet, I could tell Ian knew exactly how to handle a rambunctious dog. He was calm, confident, and immediately comfortable managing Archie’s energy. He even offered helpful suggestions for training and recommended calming treats, which I really appreciated. Ian has walked Archie several times now, and he’s been consistently reliable, trustworthy, and communicative. It’s such a relief knowing Archie is in good hands and getting both exercise and guidance. I highly recommend Ian to anyone with a high-energy or large dog who needs not just a walk, but someone who understands behavior and structure.”

“Alex is wonderful. She lets me know when she picks up Horus and leaves a picture of him and shows a map where she walked. I would highly recommend Alex.”

About: I have had and cared for dogs since I was 5 years old. I just recently lost my elderly dog that I took care of for many years and through the end of his life. I have lived with up to 5 dogs in the house and can handle the chaos of multiple dogs and the high energy of puppies. I have lived in Chicago for the past 3 years and am familiar with the local dog parks. I am currently a fourth year medical student at Rush and am interviewing for residency currently. I am very empathetic and conscientious dog lover and hope to help you with all of your dog care needs. If you have any questions please reach out to me. I am currently interviewing for residency positions and have a lot of availability in my schedule, with most of my activities ending by noon or early afternoon. I defer to my clients for the needs of each and every pet that I take care of. I am able to crate train and take care of dogs with special needs.

About: I grew up with 2 pug dogs around the house and have continued to take care of dogs throughout the years. Around 4 years ago my family got 2 puppies which I helped train. Also, I am very used to highly energetic dogs because my pups are a Chihuahua-Jack Russell mix! More recently over the past year, I've helped my roommate take care of a rescue kitten which has helped me become acquainted with cats as well. I also got a cat a couple years ago and we have become best friends. I am currently working part-time so I will have a significant amount of time available during the week and weekend! My schedule changes every week but I will know around 2 weeks in advance of when I will be working. I can ensure that your home and pet will be respected. I understand the importance of a pet's health and happiness and I promise to provide a service where your pet feels safe by listening to both you and your dogs needs. I am also very detail oriented so I promise to follow all guidelines and directions to the letter! I currently work from 9-5pm every weekday but am available to watch or walk your pets anytime before or after then! House sitting, dog walking, or drop-ins would fit very easily into my schedule if need be! I will ensure your space and your pet's space and routine are respected while caring for them overnight in your home. I will be mindful of your pet's reaction to me in their home and ensure I create a safe and clean environment.

About: I grew up with at least 2 shepherds in my house at any time and learned through doing how to take care of them. I love developing a relationship with a new dog through training and play with dogs of all sizes and ages. I currently work as an audio engineer for a band so the work is sporadic and requires me to travel. Dog sitting allows me to fill in the awkward gaps. I love to take dogs out to parks with my 2 year old Doberman (if you like). He is extremely sweet and gentle as well as a great play mate.

“We have an 80lb chubby American Bulldog...Rachel was so sweet, meet and great went great! She handled our sweet girl with great care on their walk. She was on time, polite and responsible. Coco loved her! I would book Rachel again without hesitation! She is wonderful!”
