“Jeni is the absolute best! She’s incredibly reliable, always on time, and so thorough with every walk. She treats my dog Blue with real care—refilling his water, bringing in packages, and always sending thoughtful updates after each visit. Her attention to detail and consistency gives me total peace of mind. Couldn’t ask for a better dog walker. Highly recommend Jeni to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!”
About: I’m a reliable, attentive, and caring dog walker and sitter who treats every pet like my own. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure dogs feel comfortable, happy, and well-exercised. I’m great with different temperaments, follow instructions closely, and communicate clearly with owners. Whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay, I make sure pets are well cared for and owners feel fully at ease. I work in the restaurant business waiting tables at night. So I’m free during the day whenever someone needs me to walk their dog or come over to let them out. Always on time. Or even a little bit early. Very patient willing to walk dogs and let them out when needed. Non aggressive with the pets
About: I have plenty experience with dogs and cats in my personal life and as a walker. Grew up with many animals in the home. I also have year long experience walking dogs for an app. I am currently a student with a lot of free time. I’m available most days, just prefer the afternoon to night time. I mainly offer dog walking but a drop in visit can also be arranged. When it comes to walking dogs, I bring my own potty bags and expect to be provided a collar and leash. While walking I do my very best to avoid other dogs and keep good communication with the owners when needed. With a drop in visit I keep communication open with the owners and focus on the pets while following any written instructions. I do not bring any treats for the pets in case there are dietary issues/allergies it may trigger.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and caring for them feels natural to me. I’m patient, calm, and really pay attention to each dog’s personality. I’m used to walking energetic pups, giving extra love to shy or senior dogs, and keeping routines just the way owners prefer. Friends and neighbors always trust me because I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Your dog will get lots of care, love, and happy walks with me. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine. I always start and end my day with walks, playtime, and check-ins, so caring for pets easily fits around my work and schedule. I make plenty of time for feeding, potty breaks, cuddles, and exercise. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, I make sure each pet gets consistent love and attention throughout the day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines exactly how the owner prefers. I make sure they get enough walks, playtime, feeding, water, and any special care they need. I keep their space clean, give lots of attention, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while their family is away.
About: I ve taken care of dogs since I was a teenager Friends and family always relied on me to take care their fur babies when needed. I really really love dogs. And they feel my love.

So I have all my love to give to your dog. I have a big fenced yard. I feed them play with them and go to walks. I can easily crate your pet if it’s asked. Also I can take care senior dogs give medication injection.
“Mario was fantastic with Luna! He’s very communicative, responsible, takes tons of photos and give updates frequently. I needed someone to help me with walking Luna while I was at work and despite her being a handful, he was incredibly kind, patient, and undaunted by the task. I highly recommend him if you ever need someone to care for your fur babies.”
“Larry was amazing! Took our pup out for a solid 1+ hour walk everyday on our 2 week vacation abroad. Our dog clearly felt comfortable and happy with him. He even bought him booties because the side walk was hot!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every dog I care for. I treat every pup like my own, while making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved. I’m attentive to their individual personalities, routines, and needs, whether they’re playful puppies, energetic adults, or sweet seniors. I’m also happy to provide plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and basic reinforcement of good behaviors. My goal is for both you and your pup to feel completely comfortable and confident while you’re away. I’m around animals for most of my days, so caring for pets is a natural part of my routine. My schedule is fairly open and flexible depending on the day, which allows me to accommodate different pets’ needs, routines, and care schedules. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I make sure every pet gets the care and attention they need, including regular walks, meals on their normal schedule, playtime, and plenty of love. I make sure they get their energy out and feel comfortable and happy while in my care. I also follow each pet’s individual routine and any specific instructions you provide.
“I can’t recommend Julia enough - she walked my two dogs, followed all my care instructions and sent me detailed pics, videos and descriptions about her time with them. Her communication is amazing! I’m an instant repeat client!”
About: Trusting someone with your dogs is a big deal, you want to know they will be in safe and trusted care. I have grown up around dogs and have been entrusted with a variety of breeds. I personally have raised four corgis, one poodle, one rescue terrier mix, and I have watched labrador retrievers, rescue terrier mixes, pugs, and more. I currently have two corgis, Palma and Brutus that currently don’t live with me, but are the loves of my life. I have experience and am comfortable with quiet and shy dogs and high energy dogs. If you’re looking for someone who will put extra care and love into walking your dog, playtime, or need some extra loving, I’d love to meet you! I’m currently working part time. My schedule is flexible. I am available for walks and drop in visits most days of the week and on weekends. I meet your dog where it’s at. If there is a preferred way your dogs are more comfortable, I accommodate to that as it is their home and what they are accustomed to.

Kiya was extremely kind, professional, and committed with us and our kiddos 🐶🐶! He was communicative through the beginning during and after the whole process and especially giving updates during each visit which we greatly appreciated. He was also very knowledgeable and patient with all of us, especially the meet and greet when he met our kiddos🐶🐶! We def recommend everyone to reach out to Him and we will def be reaching back to him in December!! 😁🙏🏽
Geena is super sweet and takes a tremendous amount of care with our fur babies. Her communication is great and we feel confident and comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. I also love that she’s so good with special needs dogs, as our big boy has mobility issues.
I couldn’t be happier with Sanaz’s service. She was very communicative and left detailed reports with lots of videos and photos of the pups. She was able to help out with a short turnaround, and was proactive to schedule a meet & greet beforehand too. Sanaz was calm and confident working with my reactive pups, and understood how to make them feel more comfortable. She went above and beyond to make sure the pups were happy and comfy. Thank you, Sanaz!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Winnetka. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
