Dog Walkers in Columbia, IL

“First time using Rover and so glad I booked a dog walk with Peter. He went above and beyond on a rainy day. Loved getting pictures and feedback.”

“Katelyn has been wonderful walking Bruno and highly recommend!”

“We’ve been using Ryan’s services for several weeks now and our older pup Scooter loves her so much :) She’s very understanding of his health problems and treats him with care. Ryan is the best!”

“Samantha is great! She’s communicative, flexible, and always right on time. Mostly importantly my dog absolutely loves her. Highly recommend.”

“Chloe was a great sitter. She took notes during our meet and greet, was on time for all of the scheduled walks, and sent photos and feedback with each visit. I will definitely book her in the future.”

“Super responsive! Sent lots of pictures while my kids and I were on vacation, to everybody’s delight! Will totally book again!”

“Nick was excellent. We needed someone on short notice to take our energetic dog for long walks for 4 days while my husband recouped from a muscle sprain. Nick was responsive, on time each day, sent Rover Cards documenting the map and time of his walks. Great guy. Our dog took to him like a dog takes to a bone. Will definitely use Nick again.”

“Very nice; very communicative, got along with my dogs well. Very pleased!”

“Maddy is a responsible young adult. Friendly, kind, loving & very caring individual. She’s been a pet sitter for friends family in need while out of town several times. Loves doggies & kitties too!”

About: I've taken care of all sorts of animals since I was a child. I have 2 dogs, 2 rats, and a 20 gal fish tank in my home. I've trained my own dogs one of whom came to us feral. I am accustomed to helping and training reactive dogs and welcome the challenge. I work full time, about 8 hours a day. Typically have Wednesdays and Sundays off. I love animals and enjoy spending my free time with them. I have 2 dogs that re used to other animals coming in out of the home. In the past I have rehabilitated small animals and found them suitable homes.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14. Neighbors, family friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets when they were away. I currently have all the time in the world to help with pets and fur babies. they will have a fenced yard and plenty of activities. I have a fenced yard and a dog off my own for them to play with. If need be I have two levels and large rooms for quiet time or separate play.

“So glad I found Nora. She’s so sweet, and our dog is a good judge of character and loved her from the second she came to get her. You can tell she loves animals, especially dogs, and so glad we found her to walk our dog when we are unable.”

“I have two smaller dogs, one being a miniature, Australian Shepherd, and the other being a jack Russell terrier. We tend to go on a lot of camping trips during the summer and Brittney has watched my dogs each time and we couldn’t be more thrilled with her and how she treats our dogs and loves on them. She even goes above and beyond and brings them new toys.”

About: I work from home 100% of the time and I am able to give your pups the time and attention they need to be happy and comfortable while you're away. Your dog will be able to jump up on the couch and sleep in the bed, just no counter surfers! I have a large fenced backyard to play around and take potty breaks. I will never leave them unattended. I also have a crate if your pup needs a crate to feel confrontable in, sleep or take a snoozle in. I don’t charge extra for many common things. In fact snuggles, belly rubs, treats, play time, and walks all come for free and are encouraged, well not too many treats of course. I've had dogs my entire life. Currently I have 1 dog in the house, Rosie who is a 7 year old female beagle/boston terrier who gets along with everyone. I had another puppy who lived to be just shy of 16 year old, RIP my buddy :(, so I am also very familiar with the special needs and attention that comes along as they age. I’ll treat your dog just like they are one of my own! During the day they will most likely sit by my side as I work or they will go in the living room and watch tv or the outside world through our large window. Pups will get endless potty and play breaks outside each day as I often get board at work... Along with walks if they want, of course if it not rainy. I am 100% working from home. I am flexible with pick-up and drop-off times but in general I do not allow pick-ups or drop-offs before 7:00am or after 10:00pm unless you coordinate with me in advance. If you’d like to book a reservation with me I encourage you to set up a meet & greet with me and my pets! I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. Dogs are allowed everywhere I am. I have a large fenced in yard and 1 in house dog, Rosie who is the sweetest 7 year old beagle/boston terrier. I have a wife, no children, no smoking. 100% WFH. I will not leave the house if you pet is staying with me.

“My mom (Melissa) is the best person I can think of out of anyone I know to care for animals. Growing up our dogs were no different than any child she’s ever had. Now, anytime I call to see what she’s up to she’s on a walk with her dog, watching a movie with her dog, or playing outside in the back yard with her dog. Melissa is an amazing caretaker who will without a doubt treat your pets as one of her own while in her care.”

About: I am an avid pet lover. I’ve been around dogs all my life (minus a short time when I lived in an apartment and couldn’t have a dog, so we decided to adopt 2 cats!). I am a pretty active gal, and am able to take dogs for walks (and even run if they want to). I'm open to drop in visits, housesitting, walks, etc. I am unable to provide boarding at my house, as our Chloe is selective about her friends. We are working with her on being more tolerant of others. If boarding is your preference, I would be open to a Chloe meet-and-greet to make sure your dog and Chloe are comfortable with each other. I work locally around Columbia, so I am able to do some petsitting during the week. I have more availability on the weekends. If my schedule allows, I can drop in on lunch to check on your pets. Your rules are my rules. As long as the dog/cat/etc. is happy, I am happy. My dogs are allowed on furniture and have the run of the house. Of course, they are not chewers and (typically) do not destroy things.

About: Must love dogs! ( and kids). Always a fun stay here. Fenced in yard and lots of love. Must be great with other dogs. Senior golden here. I work during the week and my wife is home and my wife works on the weekends and I'm home. Two 8 year old girls who adore animals are also here. Regular potty breaks. Regular walks. Lots of love. Free rein of the backyard if needed. A full water bowl and two full squares a day.

“Haley is great with dogs and loves all animals!! They all love her back as well! She loves to cuddle and spoil them! Choose Haley, you won’t regret it!”

“Colton is awesome! This was his first walk with one of our pups and our pup adores him. Colton is super friendly, down to earth, and communicative. We couldn't have found someone better suited for us!”
