Dog Walking In West Garfield Park

About: I’ve taken care of neighbor’s, friend’s, and family’s dogs since I was in high school. I’ve watched after cats with varying temperaments and personalities as well as puppies, seniors, large, and small dogs of a variety of breeds. I love taking dogs on walks and having playtime with pets, and will be sure to give your pet the attention they need while you are away! I have a 5.5 year old terrier mix named Harriet that I’ve raised and trained since she was a puppy and she is my best friend. I will be sure to treat your pet how I would want my Harriet to be treated! I work remotely from home with flexible hours, so I will be able to step out throughout the day to check in on any pets or take dogs on a walk or have playtime! I am happy to provide any care/attention you’d like for your dog. I can feed them, take them out to the bathroom, take them on a walk or to the park, play with them, provide special care, or anything else you’d like.

“Lauren is very communicative and leaves great summary of her time with Tuki. We appreciate knowingTuki gets some great attention during our long days at work.”

“We have been using Jacob for the past few months and he is very reliable. He is responsive and shows up on short notice if we are in a jam. Our dog seems happy when we get home and we always get a photo of their time together. Would definitely recommend.”

Liz M.

“Stavroula has been great! She communicates well and sends me several pictures of my dog Winston doing his business. I actually have two dogs. Winston was just adopted on Christmas Eve and he's a little over a year old. He isn't fully housebroken due to being found as a stray. When she gets here to let him out, he and my other dog Benson get pretty excited. She deals with their mayhem without complaint. I definitely recommend her!”

“She has been wonderful with my dog! She’s communicative, flexible, and so patient. I really appreciate the way she handles my dog and always feel confident knowing she’s in good hands. It’s obvious she cares about the dogs she works with, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’m comfortable caring for pets across the entire energy spectrum, from independent shy cats to high-energy athletic dogs. I currently have two cats of my own, so I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. One of my cats is shy and requires daily medication, so I’m experienced with administering medications and helping nervous pets feel comfortable and safe. My other cat is incredibly social, food-motivated, and always ready to remind me exactly when dinner should be served, so I’m no stranger to pets who know what they want! I also grew up with two Vizslas, which taught me just how much exercise, attention, patience, and consistency active dogs need. Whether your pet is looking for a playmate, a walking buddy, extra cuddles, or simply someone reliable to stick to their routine, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and while I absolutely adore my cats, I’m always excited for an opportunity to get my dog fix, too. I’d love to meet your pets and help make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I have a 9-5 but I can work remotely whenever I’d like and I can step away during the day to take care of your pets. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine, providing attentive care, administering medications if needed, and treating your home with the same respect and care as my own.

About: Originally from a small town in Texas I was raised on ranch surrounded by animals and I’ve loved every minute of it. Once I moved away I still wanted to keep animals in my life. I have experience fostering animals and caring for senior pets. I have open availability, so whatever time you need works for me. Whether you need someone to walk your dog while you are at work or someone to watch them overnight, I can help. I have grown up around dogs and spending time with them is one of the most enjoyable things I think a person can do. I am experienced with crate training, training basic commands, and teaching your dog to walk on a leash. If your dog doesn’t need any of that, that is fine too. Whether you just need a quick walk or want me to spend a couple hours with your dog, I will make sure it is the best part of their day!

“Leila is fabulous! We need a last second walk for our pups. She came to our house to get the pups. Our friend that was there earlier in the day left the leashes in the wrong place and Leila was patient enough to search for them. It delayed her walk quite a bit but she didn’t shorten their walk. She took great care of our pups and gave them treats. Her report was thorough and detailed, which helped alleviate any worry I had for our pups. Thanks Leila!”

I could meet with you before services through a personal meet up or by a video call, what ever you feel most comfortable with! I will always look after my environment in every setting I'm in.

“Christopher has been great with our dog so far! He leaves thorough reviews and always makes sure he has enough water, which is very important given how hot Chicago gets in the summer. You can tell he loves dogs from the way he cares for them. He was also willing to come to meet our pup for a meet and greet prior to the walks which we very much appreciated. Looking forward to keeping Christopher on board as a stellar dog walker.”

About: I had 2 Labradors for about 3 years, a Dachshund for 4 (when i was younger) and lived in Chicago then i moved to California in 2015. The places i stayed out here prohibited animals evidently, so i would find alot of joy in taking care of my close friends dogs and neibors . i would often go over to play with her and take her walks just for the utter joy of it. i am a very caring, compassionate animal lover of all kinds and would enjoy to do what i love most :)I have experience with animals and my own pets for over 10 years. My family and i raised dogs and cats in our homes since I could remember. I was always the one stealing my mother's tuna to give to the Stray Cats finding litters of kittens in the backyard rescuing injured birds, ever since I was a child I had a curiosity for animals. I enjoy the company of my animals and maintain my responsibility of taking care of my pets every single day. I have dealt with many different breeds of dogs and cat to understand them on a personal level and their nature and behavior. I truly love my animals I feel that I naturally connect with dogs and cats totally. Currently my small pet family consists of a 6 month old black and white tabby cat and a 3 year old small white terrier listen to get along with very well. I give my pets regular exercise and walks. My pets all have their shots and vaccinations there is no doubt that these are more than just animals to me they become family and a priority. I would be honored to extend my helpfulness and experience to others by doing something that I enjoy and passionate about.

About: I have hands-on experience raising two Doberman Pinschers back home in Nigeria, and I also spend time with my best friend’s Golden Doodle here in the U.S. Through these experiences, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, and attentiveness when it comes to caring for dogs. Even though I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I treat every pet as if they were mine—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also mindful of following routines, giving plenty of exercise, and paying attention to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’d be honored to help care for your furry family member, and I look forward to building trust with both you and your pet. I work full time, but I’m available for pet care on my WFH days, evenings, and weekends. I make sure every visit includes attention, exercise, and lots of love, keeping pets happy and cared for while their owners are away. Pets in my home enjoy a safe, comfortable space with supervised play in my fenced yard and crate time when needed. On client visits, I follow routines closely—feeding, walks, and play—so every pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for.
