Dog Walking Winnetka

About: I have always enjoyed being around animals ever since I was a little kid. I have owned and cared for rabbits, dogs, fish, turtles and parakeets. I work full time as an educator so most of the year I am only available weekends. However I am currently available during weekdays due to spring break. I would be happy to care for your pet in my home or at your home if that is your preference. I have one dog at home which would be kept in a different area.

About: I have 3 dogs at home, two small and one large. I have had dogs all my life and I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes! I understand the importance of the first time meeting a dog and will be patient until they feel comfortable around me. I have worked with rescues before saving dogs from the streets which is where I learned a lot of my dog skills as well. I love my walks with my dogs and would love to walk yours! I do currently work full time but I am available after 5:00 PM Monday - Friday and all day on the weekends. I hope to get to meet your dog or dogs soon! I currently work full-time but am available for evening walks after 5 PM on Monday - Friday. On the weekends, I am available all day! I have experience dog sitting and always follow the instructions the owner has left for me. I am a guest in the home and always make sure I am on top of all my duties. I triple check everything is the way it should be prior to heading out the door to ensure the comfort and safety of my clients pet.

About: So many friends and neighbors wanted me to take care of their dogs when i was just a kid cause they knew that i can understand their language. I was taking care of dogs and cats just as a hobby only for people i knew, but decided i can help more pet owners and make everyone’s life easier!! I have experiences with puppies and senior care. You will be receiving really nice photos of your pups🐶 I am at home 24/7 if needed no problem with that, home is fun with a furry baby we can watch movies and cuddle!!! I know that all doggies need different care. I am very good at potty training and obedience training. I also have first aid training🤍 Please read the following before booking either of these services: Day Care means: Between 0-10 hours Boarding means: Between 10-24 hours All of the pets i take care, they are my babies too!! They are all welcome for hugs and most importantly LOVE! For summer period i am free every day and i can start working really early if my client needs. I don’t like to go for walks so late for me and my client’s safety. I have a nice fenced backyard; we mostly play there and hangout i don’t let them out unsupervised. I only walk with leash, sometimes dogs see rabbits or squirrels and chase after them. We don’t want anyone to get hurt or scared 🫶🏻

About: After working at several high quality pet supply companies, I know a great deal about pet nutrition and pet care. I have owned dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience with large dogs, we always had/have German Shepherds, and small dogs, as well as cats. I can take care of seniors, adults, and puppy’s; I have experiencing administering pills, and putting additives into the pets food. I can bring my lifelong pet ownership experience into caring for your lovely pet. I love learning new things about different breeds and different personalities. No pet, like no person, is the same nor should they be treated the same. I am excited to get to know your pet and their unique way of living life! I’ve just moved back to LA from spending 6 years in the United Kingdom, so your pet will be my full focus as I’m not otherwise employed currently. I take care of your pet(s) as if they are my own. I take any special requests seriously and have clients who have used me for years and trust me in their homes. I understand how serious that is, and take respect to the highest level, paring that with safety.

About: I've been a dog lover ever since I was a kid. I have had dogs growing up, taking care of them and taking care of my friends' or neighbors' dogs when they needed it. I also used to volunteer at an animal shelter, and I've gotten extra pet experience from there. I'm currently on summer break, so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pups and ensure they are doing okay. I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends. Just please let me know 3 days in advance. :) I will maintain the pet's usual schedule for feeding, exercise, and medication. Provide regular updates to the client, keep the pet's living area clean, and respect the client's home and rules. As for boarding, I have a fenced backyard and a front yard. I have two pets of my own, so please let me know how they are with other dogs, as I want to provide a safe environment for all.

About: As a mom who knows exactly what it takes to keep a household running and everyone cared for, I bring that same nurturing, attentive energy to your pets. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk or some extra patient TLC, I’ll treat them like a member of my own family. Safe, dependable, and always ready with extra belly rubs!​ I'm currently available after 6pm Monday thru Friday and anytime on Saturday or Sunday. If there is a special time you need I can try to accommodate. I listen to your pets queues to see what their need is and your instructions as their parent. Along with belly rubs and scratches behind ears 😀

About: My family has owned dogs and cats my entire life. I don’t think there has been a single day in my life where I didn’t own a pet or have responsibility for one. Including the Marines under my charge. Animals. Seriously, though… Pets love me. I am also a firm believer in following instructions to a T. People are often surprised when I ask to meet their dog, they tell me that the dog is skittish or afraid, and then the dog walks slowly up to me like they’ve known me forever and then we’re best friends. I feed my two cats, Chief and Cosmos, daily at 8am and 8pm. Cosmos requires special dietary food, so my wife and I bought chip-specific feeders for each cat. I also make sure they stay physical with my fishing rod toys, as well as ensure clean facilities for the… you know. It all comes down to showing them love, providing for them, and protecting them. I treat my two cats like they were my own kids. We don’t deserve their love if we can’t give it to them. It’s inhumane.

About: I have about 7 years of pet handling experience from my own animals to volunteering at animal shelters in LA. I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I have gained experience from my own dogs, one of which was blind and deaf. With over 250 hours volunteering at my local city animal shelter, I gained additional experience caring for cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I cannot wait to meet your furry friend! I currently have a very flexible schedule. I am usually busy on the weekends, but I could make myself free if I am given enough notice. When caring for a client’s pet, safety is very important to me. Following the owner’s rules and ensuring your pet is cared for and loved while you are away is my number one priority :)

My past experience includes working with children ages 1- 17 years old- from conducting medical research at UCLA Medical Center, teaching English in China, and as a residential counselor for a mental health facility. I also have experience caring for my two family dogs- a chihuahua and a maltipoo. I am located in the San Fernando Valley, but I’m willing to travel further to do pet/ house sitting. Thank you for considering me, hope to hear from you soon! :) I work from home, and my schedule is very flexible, so there won’t be any issues coordinating walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. For longer stays, I can simply bring my laptop and portable Wi-Fi, allowing me to remain fully available while continuing to work remotely. I currently work for a government agency and have passed extensive background checks, so you can rest assured that your pets and home will be in the care of a trustworthy and responsible adult.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up so i grew up a dog lover! I recently got a kitten and i’m in love with her. I’ve always been around animals and taking care of them. I work part time and have time to give other pets care when needed. I start school in August so my time will be less but for the summer i am free. I have two dogs in the back and a cat in the house. I’ve always grown up tasking care of the dogs my family have. Currently I take care of my cat for the most part bathe her when needed, feed her 3 times a day, and provide enrichment.

“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!”

“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.”

About: What sets me apart is the love and patience I have for animals. I personally raised my sweet dog since she was just one month old, so I understand how to care for young puppies with tenderness and responsibility. I may not have formal experience, but I treat every pet as if they were my own — with love, respect, and attention. I truly feel a connection with animals and enjoy making them feel safe and happy. I’ve also helped care for pets of family and friends, and I always do my best to make them feel loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care during the mornings and some afternoons or evenings. I enjoy being active, so going on walks or playing with dogs fits perfectly into my daily routine. I’m very responsible with time, and I love spending quiet moments giving attention, cuddles, or just making pets feel safe and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely to keep their routine as normal and comforting as possible. I give them fresh water, food, walks, and lots of attention — always with love and patience. I respect the client’s home as if it were my own, and I keep everything clean and organized. I also take time to connect with the pet, understand their behavior, and make them feel safe while their owner is away. I truly believe animals feel our energy, so I always bring calm, kindness, and warmth to their space. I care for them like I would want someone to care for my own dog.

“You know when a person really LOVES animals when your dog loves him on sight! Larry is that person. And he takes every care with my Sara that I would, like when encountering traffic. I absolutely trust him, especially when Sara comes home with a huge smile on her face.”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have trained many dogs, including pitbull’s Saint Bernards, Chihuahuas, Maltese, etc. I have taken care of dogs at all ages in stages of life, elderly, puppy, pregnant. I absolutely adore dogs! I am an avid walker and walk over 6 miles daily. I would love to help out some people with furry friends who aren’t able to walk them as much! I am a great choice when it comes to watching your dog when you are away! I am super accountable and enjoy spending time with dogs!

About: I have owned pets most of my life. I understand that every animal is different, so I’d love to take the time to get to know your pet. I have no doubt we will bond! I’m currently in-between jobs. I typically work remotely, so I’m pretty flexible. I’d love to have regulars when I can bond with your animals. ❤️ In my own home, my dogs are a bit spoiled. They’re older, so I want them to be as comfortable as possible. They never worry about food, water, walks, play time, and love! I’d be the same with your animals!

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. I guarantee they feel safe and comfortable with me I have experience from tiny to big breed I am currently full time at home taking care of my elderly parents. I lost my dog in March. 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.

About: Loving dogs is my biggest passion in life, so for the last 20 years I've dedicated myself to being a fantastic dog mom, foster mom, and care provider to my clients and their beloved dogs. From 3 lb chihuahuas to 160 lb mastiffs, I will provide the most loving and compassionate care to your furry best friend. Whether your dog likes to walk the neighborhood, or utilize a sling or stroller, we'll hit the town and get those noses sniffing and brains working. I can handle meals (including hand feeding), medications, and potty needs without issue. And I love to come up with new enrichment activities to keep your bestie's brain in tip-top shape. My specialty is Senior and Special needs pups who need a little (or a lot) of TLC, be that help with mobility, feeding, or medication. I'm experienced with dogs who have seizures, diabetes, kidney disease, neurological disorders, and mobility needs. And I love them all the more for it! I can assure you I will care for your baby as though they are my own. I am a full-time pet caregiver, so your pet is my number one priority. I am responsible and trustworthy, so you never need to worry about missed potty breaks, or late medications. My own dog gets three dedicated walks a day plus play time and enrichment activities. I offer the same dedication to your loved one. I am with your fur-baby the entire time they are entrusted to my care. For home visits to your home, I utilize the time to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable. From walks to potty breaks, a treat (if allowed), and an enrichment activity, to making sure their paws and privates are clean, and their bowl is filled with fresh water, I want your pet to look forward to my visit! And if your pup does daycare or boards with me they will be treated like family I keep your friend on YOUR schedule as to not disrupt their desire for routine, but they will get numerous walks, trips to the park (on-leash only), enrichment activities like puzzles, and are most definitely allowed on the furniture (unless you'd prefer them not to be.) Coming to my home should feel like going to camp, and coming home with lots of fun stories to share with you.
