Dog Walking Yorkville

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to feed, walk, play and house sit their pets. I am very responsible, patient, and active - I love taking dogs for long walks and making them feel safe and loved when their owners are away. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and large breeds. I work with a flexible schedule so I can give your dog full attention, updates, and lots of photos. I have a very flexible schedule and work part-time, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pups! Pet care is my priority. For House Sitting, I can stay at your home, keep your pet's routine exactly the same, do daily walks, feeding, playtime, and send you lots of photo and video updates. I'm available for bookings on weekdays and weekends, including holidays. Your pet's safety and comfort is my #1 priority. When house sitting at your home, I follow your instructions exactly - feeding schedule, walks, medications, and house rules. I keep your home clean, safe, and secure, with no other pets or guests. I make sure doors and gates are always secured, I never leave your dog unattended outside, and I will keep you updated with messages and pictures all day. I treat your home and your fur baby with total respect and love.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs my entire life and friends and family have always trusted me to look after their pets. I currently have two cats, including one who was once semi-feral and has successfully transitioned to living a happy indoor life, giving me experience with pets of all personalities. I treat every animal with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I’d want for my own pets. Because I work a hybrid schedule that’s primarily remote, I have the flexibility to stop by throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, or just some extra company. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, maintain their routine, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I am a mental health therapist and a cat mom of three cats: a 10 year old domestic longhair and two Devon Rex cats. Caring for cats is part of my daily life, and I understand that every cat has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for senior cats, administering oral medications, monitoring appetite and litter box habits, and providing detailed updates to owners. I am patient, observant, and attentive to small changes in behavior that others might miss. My goal is not just to feed and clean up after your cat, but to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I care for my own three cats every day. My schedule is flexible, and I work primarily by appointment, which allows me to reliably accommodate drop in visits throughout the week. I am used to feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior, and spending quality time with cats every day. Whether your cat prefers playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I am happy to adapt to their needs and routine. I only provide drop in visits in the client’s home. During each visit, I follow your pet’s routine for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I pay close attention to cleanliness, safety, and any changes in behavior or appetite. I always make sure everything is left tidy and secure, and I provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Adolfo has been walking our dog Lou twice a week for six months. He is extremely reliable and often agrees to do additional walks with short notice when we run into unexpected scheduling issues. Adolfo is the best and it is clear to us that he really loves Lou and that Lou loves him right back!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years, including my own rescue dog. I’m calm, attentive, and know how to approach shy or anxious pets with patience. I understand different needs, from playful puppies to quiet seniors and always make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering meds, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care has been a part of my life for many years, and it fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work from home, which allows me to provide flexible scheduling and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Spending time with animals brings me genuine joy, and I take every pet’s care seriously. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and stress free environment. I carefully follow each pet’s routine and any special instructions. I provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I currently have a golden retriever that I take care of. He has a lot of energy that I keep up with and love to entertain! Dogs bring me so much joy and I love to embrace it! I have owned a dog my entire life and alway assure they are happy and healthy and their tail is wagging! Taking care of a dog should not be a job, it should be enjoyment and that is how I see it. I have experience giving dogs insulin and difficult medications as well. I am currently a student that works part time, but I have plenty of time on the weekends to play with your dogs! I would love to take them for walks or even to the dog park! During the summer I have plenty of time to take the dog to the park or to play! I usually try to walk them every day and I always make sure there is a little bit of food in the bowl if they do not have scheduled feeding times.
