Dog Walking West Ridge

“Michelle is so awesome with our French bulldog Toby! She came over for a meet and greet because we needed someone to watch Toby while we’re away for 2 weeks next month. She made us feel so much better about leaving our pup because she is very knowledgeable, kind, and Toby loved her immediately! She came over to walk Toby today and provided multiple updates and photos. She is very communicative. We know Toby will love being with her for our upcoming trip and knowing she is taking care of him gives us so much reassurance!”

“Shante helped me out when I was in a pinch and realized with short notice that I needed a dog walker. She was very responsive and from the pictures looked like my pup loved his time with her! I will definitely use Shante for future walks.”

“Cheryl is one in a million. I am so thankful that she came into my pups lives. My dogs are not easy to handle, but she was understanding, compassionate, and loving to them since the first day she met them. She is knowledgeable, skilled, extremely reliable and has helped me out more than once in a last minute situation. I cannot recommend her highly enough for any pet that you may have that is special needs or needs attention beyond your average care. She’s an absolute pro.”

Nikki S.

“I was just saying the same thing over and over again, but if you want trustworthy Dog Walker, who has exceptional communication skills that to mention my dog is madly in love with him and cries when he leaves. This is the person to hire.”

“Maya was delightful from start to finish. We had a last minute booking which she accommodated with no stress. I’m recovering from a surgery so I needed her for 4 walks a day for 3 days. She showed up on time every time and was so positive and full of good energy every time. She was also very amenable to a few time changes I needed to make. She’s very sweet with my pups and I will most definitely work with her again.”

Winifred G.

“I really enjoyed Georgette as a walker for my dogs. She took the time to meet with me and the dogs for about an hour meet and greet. That was great to get all of the information needed for their care, and the time to discuss any preference we had.”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I have worked in an animal shelter and vet clinic as a veterinary assistant caring for a variety of animals. I have had the privilege of fostering 100 animals (mostly neonatal and orphaned kittens!). I currently have three cats and an 18 year old Crested Gecko. Two of my cats are fosters that never left- both have cererbellar hypoplasia, or better known as wobbly cat syndrome! I have pet sat for many kinds of animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs and reptiles. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Please note: I do not use flexi/retractible leashes to ensure safety. I am happy to bring my own slip lead or standard leash. Please, let me know if you have questions! I work from home and have a flexible schedule! I typically have afternoons and weekends free. I would love to learn more about what your pet’s specific care needs are! I want to hear all about your pet! What do they like, what don’t they like? What are their quirks and preferences? I want to learn about them because I want to make sure I am caring for them the way you would.

About: Hello! I've enjoyed working with animals for all of my life. I lived in Chicago for 12 years before moving to Japan for the last 5 years. I recently moved back to the Chicago area and am looking forward to helping local pet owners! I recently moved back from Japan. I have time available during the day, evenings and on weekends to provide care for pets. I'm flexible and happy to work around your schedule. I can follow instructions on what care you need for your pet! I am not able to offer care in my own home, but I'm happy to do what it takes to meet your needs.

About: I believe that animals aren't just something meant to make our lives better, but that we're meant to do the same for them. These little homies deserve the best we can provide so the love and affection can be mutually beneficial I'm a person with a love of routine, so many things about pet care come easily to me (feeding, walking, cleaning up) but can roll with the punches if things come as a surprise or go awry In either location I'll be attentive and loving. I believe that whatever systems are in place with the owner should stay in place with my like routines and how certain behaviors are addressed

“Rufus loved Tony! He was very confident dealing with one very big dog.”

About: I credit most of my skills with taking care of dogs to my own girl, Leona. She came into my life in 2021 as a 6 month old with previous traumas. Through lots of love and training, she’s the happy and fun dog that she is today! My schedule is currently open Mondays-Fridays for dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight sitting. I will consider weekend availability on an as needed basis. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! For drop-in visits, my services will very based on the needs of the dog. Potty breaks will always be offered during my visit, as well as some play time. I can prepare any enrichment toys your dog has and if meal time is needed, make sure they are fed. I usually like to bring dog treats so let me know if you would like me to hold off on any treats for dietary purposes.
