Dog Walking York Center

About: I grew up with my family’s various rescue cats and dogs, so I’ve always been an animal lover. Since childhood, I’ve also enjoyed pet sitting for friends, family members, and neighbors whenever I’ve had the opportunity to do so. I’ve mainly looked after cats and dogs, but I also have experience caring for birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, and a couple of different types of lizards. I have some experience with training my family’s pets, and lots of experience with giving love to animals of all kinds! I donate 5% of my profits from each Rover booking towards humane societies and animal rescue organizations. I’m currently a full-time college student, so the remainder of the money I make on Rover is set aside and used to afford care for my own cat. During the school year, I’m a full-time student at the University of Vermont and, when I’m not in classes or doing Rover visits, I’m often spending time with my own cat! I spend summers, and most other school breaks, at home with my family in IL. This summer will be my third year working part-time as an inclusion aid for children with disabilities and special needs in summer camps. My weekday mornings are spent there, but the rest of my schedule is more flexible, so I’m looking forward to doing more afternoon and evening Rover visits! I recognize that every animal is unique and has their own wants and needs, and it’s important to me to ensure that your pet is as comfortable, happy, and healthy as they can be while you’re away! I’m happy to follow any instructions you have to care for your pet and your home. If there are any particular precautions you want me to take, or if there’s anything else I can help out with (e.g. bringing in mail, putting out trash cans, etc.) while you’re away, just ask!

About: Hi there! I’m Rajda. For the past 10 years, I’ve provided pet sitting services to friends and family so I’m used to handling feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable. Whether you need drop-ins, overnight stays, or someone to love your fur baby like their own, I’m here for it! I may be new to professional pet sitting, but I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and cows over the past few years! I’m happy to provide updates and photos, and I’m committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work remote, so I'll have plenty of time to play and watch your dogs or cats! I'm available for overnight pet sitting, dog walking, or check-ins throughout the week as needed. I’m active and love being outdoors, so pets who enjoy walks and fresh air will get plenty of it! I provide a calm, clean, and structured environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and preferred activities. I prioritize clear communication, regular updates, and photos so owners always feel confident their pet is in good hands!

About: I understand how difficult leaving your pet with someone else can be! They are, after all part of our family! I’ve had pets all my life, from goldfish to parakeets, guinea pigs to bunnies, cats and of dogs from big to small, and special needs rescues. I have experience in dog walking, overnight stays, administering medications, seniors, and special needs pets. I can assure you that I will not only complete any and all tasks you request of me, I will also do them with love, patience, and above all, safety. My goal is to make sure your pet feels as comfortable, safe, and loved as my own! I will pay close attention to your instructions and keep your pet on its routine to ensure as little stress as possible while you are away. I am big on communicating, sending pictures and videos, and making sure YOU are as stress free as I intend your pets to be! 😌 I am also highly aware of how worrisome leaving the care of your home to someone is and can assure you I am respectful in each and every home I stay in, keeping it tidy and cared for as per your instructions. Besides adoring animals, I am passionate about my family, the outdoors, music and working on growing my other businesses. I was the owner of a small mani/pedi business and boutique in downtown Hinsdale, IL for 25 yrs.during which time I also studied and offered foot reflexology. It was also during this time that I first started caring for clients pets and homes while they traveled. Unfortunately due to health issues and the onset of Co-Vid, I was forced to close my shop. I do however continue foot reflexology massage for die hard clients in their homes today! My love for creativity also lives on in a hobby turned hopeful business of painting small pieces of furniture. A particular niche of end tables turned into pet beds is becoming my new favorite 🤩. I would love to schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet! It is an essential part of the process for first time clients, as forming a bond with your pet and establishing a good fit for everyone is a top priority! I currently work part-time both from home and out of clients homes as described above, and have flexible hours. Traveling more than 8 miles from my home base of Villa Park for dog walks and drop ins are a bit more tricky, but overnights are not a problem for a distance up to 15 miles. While I currently am not able to board animals at my home, a good portion of my business is caring for them in yours. They are treated with patience and compassion, and receive all the love and attention that I give my own with safety being my number one concern. I will look after your home and be happy to help out with any extra needs you may have (water plants, check mail, take out garbage, etc.)

“Jaxx was great with my two pups. She was caring and attentive to their needs. This is the first time I’ve hired her to walk my pups and she did a great job. Reliable, responsive and tender, especially with my 18 yr old Bichon Frise. Ollie, my Cockapoo, loved the belly rubs. Will definitely hire her again!”

I love to walk and pet pups so hopefully we can be good match!! I’m currently working part-time in the afternoon (3-6) so I have lots of free time to check in or walk your pet.

“John treats my dog like his own. I have a large dog, and she can be difficult to handle, but John is comfortable setting boundaries and managing her behavior. He is always friendly and arrives on time, and my dog is always happy and well exercised after her walks. He communicates well, and I would trust him with my dog any time.”

About: I have cared for the elderly 8 years as a CNA and have been voluntarily trusted with family and friends pets for the past decade at least. Understanding pets needs and wants are a second nature to me. my schedule allows me to have pause periods to do wellness checks and walk your Pet's. My daily life allows me to work from home half of the week My place is comfortable to host 2 pets at once in a clean environment. I will be sure to return your Pet's just as clean and healthy as they came. If I am trusted in your home I will do my best to do the same
