Dog Walkers in Wood Dale, IL

“Mariela has been my five-day a week walker for my two Labradors for the past two months. She has shown great care with my dogs. Having a senior dog and a puppy is a challenge, but Mariela recognizes their individual needs and is very patient with both of them. I’m glad to have someone I can trust taking care of my pups each day!”

About: ~NOW BOOKING FOR SUMMER 2025~ -Pet ownership experience (walking, safety, behavior) - Volunteer at Fetching Tails rescue (walking and interacting with rescues) - Basic veterinary knowledge (shadowed at Addison Animal Hospital for 3 months) I recently graduated from Illinois State University. I work full-time at a vet clinic 20 minutes from home. My scheduling is very flexible and looking for local clients! I have a fenced-in yard and live in a two story house in a quiet suburb with low traffic. Pets will always be under supervision. Walks are quiet and with minimal noise.

About: I grew up with a female German Shepard, and have grown up looking after and taking care of dogs and cats of various breeds and sizes. I love to be active and therefore enjoy taking dogs out on walks. I definitely have the patience to take care of animals of every age and energy level. Graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder with degree in Neuroscience! While in the process of finding a full time job, I have plenty of time to care for and play with your fur babies! I will respect your home and fur baby as if they were my own. I love keeping my space neat and my pets well cared for, and that will never differ elsewhere.

“Beth was my first Rover walker ever and I was glad to have found her! She was 100% reliable and was always keeping my pup’s best interests in mind! She always made sure to send pics/summaries of the walks which was nice. I would certainly recommend Beth to anyone searching on Rover!”

About: I have had a love for animals since I was a young child. At the age of 8, against my parents wishes I snuck in an abandoned cat and it ended up being where my love for animals began. We have had many types of pets since then. Currently we have a 3 year-old German Shepherd whom we rescued from a shelter at 4 months of age. We also have a 1 year old Australian Cattle dog who is super energetic. I love spending time with animals, dogs in particular, because they are so playful, happy and full of unconditional love. I am responsible, caring and will take great care of you pet because I know that they are not only “pets” but are also members of your family. I will care for your pet like I would care for my own pets. I work full-time as a nurse practitioner but just started working some days from home. I figured, why not do something I love while also getting exercise at the same time. Note: the only breed of dog that I will not board in my home are pitbulls. My daughter had a traumatic experience with a pitbull so she is very triggered by that breed. I will gladly watch pitbulls in your home and care for them outside of my home. I think they do get a bad reputation for being an aggressive breed but due to our experience, we unfortunately don’t feel comfortable having them around our children. I am able to mainly available for pet care on the weekends. I am able to accomplish most evening/late evening or very early morning walks. Every other Tuesday I work from home so am able to break up my schedule this day. I care for my dogs in my backyard, which is fenced in. She is able to run around freely because we do have a large yard which allows her to burn off her energy. We also play fetch and she is able to spend a lot of her time running around there. We also go for walks around the neighborhood.

“Maricela P. was just amazing with our Winston! He can be a handful at times just because he gets very excited to meet new people but Maricela handled him with the same care and affection as we do. She was the best with Winston and we are very grateful for finding her!”

“Jennifer was so nice when I met her. She took my 2 pug puppies for a long walk and gave good information on their report card. We will ask for her next time we need a pet walker.”

Denise B.

“Cheryl was very gentle with Hershey who is timid with people and he was already her buddy after one walk.”

Tami M.

“Liz is a great communicator and very attentive to my dog’s needs and personality. She has been very reliable and easy to work with when changes come up. She is a hard worker and loves what she does!”

About: Being a bunny owner, I take a very patient approach towards each animal I am caring for. I prefer to know their habits and quirks before I begin our journey of knowing each other. I pay very close attention to each animals body language and move forwards based on that. Growing up I was extremely obsessed with my families dogs and cats. My first pet was a grey cockatiel bird that I rescued, shortly after I got my first yellow lab. Ever since, I have been very involved in taking care of many of my family or friends pets while they are away. I have taken care of extremely small puppies, fish, birds, bunnies, and cats, to nervous, and anxious big labs ! I heavily enjoy spending time next to a furry creature and I even have a bunny of my own named Diva. She has been a very long lesson in attention to attitude when it comes to handling an animal. I am more than available during the day or night to take care of any animal, I do not have a current job so I am free during awkward hours. I make sure to follow the directions my clients have left for me, I often ask more information on the personality of the animal so I understand our boundaries !

About: I currently have 2 Dobermans, both are 6 years of age. Previously adopted another Doberman at the age of 5. I’ve had 2 family dogs as well - making me a dog owner all my life I currently run a personal training business that is by appointment only. This gives me a lot of free time during the day that I could be caring for your pets. I will follow all care instructions for your pets in your own home. I currently have a fenced yard and have experience with invisible fences.

About: I have taken care of many different kinds of dogs from small and large. I have cared for dogs while owners went on vacation whether boarding them at my home or coming over 3-4 times a day, and I love spending time with them . I have cared for both young and older dogs who may require certain medication or specified care. My whole life I have been surrounded by animals,even owning a little hobby farm of my own which includes 2 dogs, a horse and chickens! I care for others pets as if they were mine and wouldn’t want anyone to expect anything less , as many of us treat our fur babies as if they were our kids! I only work night shift on the weekends and a majority of the time I am available. My college schedule permits me from seeing your pet from 8am to 12 pm ,however, I can come in the early hours of the morning followed by the afternoon and evening. I have a large fenced yard and provide my dogs with a lot of time outdoors. Your dog is guaranteed company as I have two friendly pups. I offer taking dogs for walks or letting them out in the backyard.

“Madeline saved the day and accepted a last minute request when our usual dog walker was out of town. She was patient with our nervous pup and did a great job at making her feel comfortable!”

“Leah is amazing with my dog Susie. Susie is very big and tends to pull. Leah assured me she was a good girl on her walks ( whether that is the case or not) and I appreciate her taking her out when I am at work. It takes a lot of stress off my shoulders knowing someone I trust is walking my fur baby.”

Penny M.

“Renee is amazing! She made us feel so comfortable upon meeting her and I love her energy :) She is reliable, trustworthy, and caring. We received daily updates on how our dog's walk went, including pictures of Tinkerz. Renee was so nice to even bring in a package I had on the front porch. I couldn't have asked for a better dog walker as she is so easy and great to work with. BIG HUGS and THANKS!”

Nicole R.

“Collette was amazing walking my dog several times a day while I was away. She arrived on time for each walk and sent detailed notes and pics. Highly recommend!”

Joanna Z.

“My dog, Daphne, loved Jonie and was eager to go on her first walk with her! Jonie took a lot of care to make sure she wiped off Daphne's paws when it was raining, she offered to brush her teeth, and she seemed concerned about making sure she had all of the care instructions needed for Daphne. I also think it's important that Jonie is licensed, insured, and is able to transport pets, in case of an emergency. When I was giving Jonie information about Daphne's vet, in case it was needed, she was even familiar with staff there! I would definitely hire Jonie again and recommend her to others.”

I am a reliable person who is willing to go above and beyond what is asked of me and what needs to be done.

They are my whole heart, I see them as family and I hope to care for yours like I care for mine. I want to provide your pet with the most comfortable experience I can. I have helped with dogs from birthing of puppies to caring of senior dogs. I have more experience with small dogs and other small animals but I love to work with larger dogs as well. I am a big believer of proper animal care. An animals well being is the greatest concern I have while watching it. Animals are family, they deserve the best care we can provide. I am always open for constructive criticism, and welcome you to address any issues you may have. I work a full-time job Monday through Wednesday and Fridays 8:45 to 6 and Saturdays 8:15 to 6pm.
