Dog Walkers in Wauconda, IL

“Kati was so great with my dog, I'm so glad I found someone who was happy to walk my big hound dog (and deal with my senior parents). I traveled for work and wanted to leave my dog with my parents but they couldn't handle walking an 80lb dog, so Kati came twice a day to walk him for an hour. My parents LOVE her, it's been three weeks and they're still talking about how great she was. My mom said my dog was so excited to see her every day and would wait by the door for her after she left, and it was just so sweet to hear. For me, the peace of mind alone was priceless. I'm genuinely looking forward to booking with Kati again-- thanks for everything!!”

“Bill is amazing! Our 7 year old lab is always so happy to see him and is always exhausted from his runs with Bill. Fantastic guy, a true dog person. Highly recommend!”

“Excellent service. Thank you so much.”

“Erin is a loving pet owner who faithfully walks her own high energy dog numerous times a day. If I ever need a dog walker, I’d trust her completely with caring for our two dogs.”

“Jeanne is a great find to care for our dog Ernie when we are away for long times during the day. Gives him the love and attention like he's her dog!”

“Brooke is terrific with our dog, Buddy. He’s a rescue and can be leery of strangers, but he took to her immediately. She just has such a nice way with dogs. We will definitely be asking her to care for Buddy again in the future”

“I am grateful to have Erin in our life. We moved into a new neighborhood with our 17 year old cock a poo, Erin and I instantly bonded, both of us with senior furry babies. Dog people recognize great dog people. I knew Precious, our cock a poo was in good hands when Erin helped watch and walk her for us. After Precious crossed the rainbow bridge, we eventually adopted a Shitzu from a rescue, we named him Oreo. Erin and her dog Gus, along with Oreo and I would spend time and go for walks. Erin is my person, she is the only one I trust, and I know Oreo is in good hands, when he is with his "Auntie" Erin. Highly recommend!”

“Sarah did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was out of town. She was booked for walks and was very punctual. She also provided detailed reports and pictures for every visit, which was nice to see how my dog was doing while I was gone. She was also thoughtful enough to refill the water bowl when she noticed it was low. I will definitely be re-booking with Sarah the next time I go out of town.”

“Dayna is AMAZING!!! She is a true animal lover. We have a 15 year old black lab and a 6 year old chihuahua mix, both pups with much different needs and personalities. Dayna takes the time and goes above and beyond to make sure my babies are well taken care of. Dayna is the only person outside of our family that we trust to care for our sweet fur babies.”

“Indre is great with dog of all sizes. She constantly takes care of my Rotwiellers. I have one that is very high energy and she makes sure he gets all his energy out before retuning from their walk. She is very good with large breads!”

“They go above and beyond what is asked of them.”

About: I’ve never lived without a pet- I learned from a young age how to take the best care of my own. They’re part of the family! Friends and family have trusted me for as long as I can remember to take care of theirs when needed. I am a personal trainer and online fitness coach- I work for myself and my sessions are scattered mornings/afternoons so my schedule is pretty wide with availability as I can create my own around sessions and help needed! Very flexible! I have a crate if needed, and a lead in my yard for my one dog at home- she can be a friend for your pet! I always take care to give pets the time they need to adjust to a new environment/people around. I will always ask ahead of time about safety measures needed for taking a pet outside, eating schedule, etc to give the best care.

About: I started pet sitting at age 12 for both cats and dogs. I’ve also taken care of rodents like ferrets and Guinea pigs. I have had a dog since I was five. I cannot live without a pet by my side. I currently have a very large golden retriever who, like your pet, is my world. Pets are gifts and should be treated like the treasures they are. I work from home so I am flexible in my daily routine. Looking for a little something extra to keep me busy when I am home. I often use a pet sitter when I travel so I know how important having someone you trust with your pet is for your peace of mind when you can’t be with them. Whatever your pet needs I can do. They all have their special needs and quirks like we do. I hope to meet them very soon!

“Michele Z is wonderful with our dog Stella. Michele’s playful nature and smiling face puts our dog at ease. She genuinely loves animals and is intune with their unique personalities. Michele is always enthusiastic to care for Stella; taking her for walks, throwing her toys to catch & retrieve, and allowing for plenty of snuggles. Stella loves it when she comes. I highly recommend Michele Z to care for your treasured family pet!”

“Ally has been helping me care for my animals since I moved to Illinois in October of 2022. Ally is dependable, incredibly kind, and most of all an avid animal lover. Whether it was helping feed my animals dinner or staying at my home for a weekend while I was out of town, Ally was able to provide excellent care to my pets and stay in touch with me while I was away. Ally seems to approach pet care as if she was caring for her own pets - that is to say she always has an unconditional love for the animals she works with and loves to ensure they are safe and happy. I recommend Ally to anyone looking for a solid, dependable, and loving care taker for their pets! She’s truly amazing!”

“Joy is great with animals. She has personally watched my dog on numerous occasions and he loves it every time. She is very professional, experienced, and I can trust my dog is in good hands with her.”

“FIVE STARS - WOULD RECOMMEND! Angela loved and cared for our dog while we were away. The report cards were detailed and included multiple photos each day, which warmmed our hearts while we missed him more each day! When I say she cared for him, I mean she actually CARED! When he wasn't eating his dinner, she tried multiple efforts and then notified me of it. We were able to communicate and remedy it! She also took into consideration the temperature of each individual day, and what would be an appropriate time outdoors for MY individual dog breed and personality. She got to know his likes and dislikes, and played with him with his toys. I will be hiring her again! ?”

“Robi has been dog sitting for us for several years now and we are always satisfied with her top notch service. She’s also been available to help us when we are running late and Charlie’s been in her crate”
