Dog Walkers in Girard, IL

“Laura was wonderful! I booked last minute and she was so helpful! As this being my first time using Rover I will be booking again & hopefully with Laura! Zeus enjoyed his time with her as well!”

“Meara has always been kind and gentle with baby sitting my cat and my dog. I have no complaints and would recommend her work fully.”

About: I get asked a lot why I'm still doing Rover since I'm a Veterinarian. So here's the answer, I do Rover, so that pet owners can have peace of mind and feel safe to enjoy their time away knowing that their pet is in excellent hands with me. It gives me a break from the "medical" side of things and allows me to just enjoy your pets company without having to diagnosis or prescribe, helps re-establish my "why" I chose veterinary medicine in the first place. So with that said, I'm capable of taking care of any needs you may have for your pet while you are away! I currently work Monday-Thursday 8am-5pm, off Fridays and every other Saturday. I can accommodate drop-in visits or house sitting as needed. Dog Walking is on an individual basis My significant other and I live on 15 acres in Medora and have two very hyper, active pups ourselves. We have one inside cat and one outdoor barn cat (just what he prefers best). Our pups have free-range of the property while we are home, while we are away they are crated. Our dogs are cat friendly. We do have one large 24x24 outdoor chain link fenced run but rarely put our own dogs in it. We are open to bringing pets to our home as long as they get along with ours and are leash trained and able to be crated if we are not around. As far as if I were to house-sit or drop-in visits were arranged- I would like to keep your pet on their normal schedule (as much as possible) so that is very flexible.

“Kayla took Luna on a lovely walk while I was gone for the day! Luna loved her walk and was definitely tired for the rest of the day. Kayla was very communicative and even arrived early after checking it was okay to do so!”

“Angelly takes care of my furbaby Snowball like it’s her own. She’s great about sending an update every day when housesitting and I can always count on her to be on time. 10/10 recommend!”

“Paige has taken care of my pets so many times. She is so responsible and just treats my pets like family. I highly recommend her.”

“Abby is definitely the type of person to put the animals before her. Shes a very outgoing, loving, caring, hard working person!! she’s all around the best !”

About: I am good with cats, dogs and guinea pigs. I can clean out litter boxes, change bedding for guinea pigs and also have extensive experience in caring for a guinea pig's special needs. I’m currently working Mon-Thurs from 8:15am-4:30pm and Friday from 8:15am-12:30pm and I get an hour lunch! So if you ever need me to check in on your fur babies, I can do that! And I can still stay overnight if needed! I will follow instructions how to care for your animals in your home. This can include baths, walks, potty breaks, play time and feeding times.

“Demetria is a caring and loving pet sitter. She dog sat for us for several years. Our dog was always so happy to see her- that tells you a lot! When our dog passed, Demetria was heart broken. She is reliable, dependable and a great caretaker.”

“Caitlin by far is the greatest dog sitter I have met. She was able to help me out on such short notice! Cheap price! Loving and welcoming home! Another great thing is that she takes all size dogs!”

“Mary Ann is one of the most responsible people I know. She is extremely engaged in the well-being of her own animals, and that care translates to all areas of her life - she definitely goes above and beyond. Mary Ann has taken care of my pets in the past and I never once had a worry. She always kept me updated and it made it so much easier to be away knowing they were safe and happy. I 10/10 recommend Mary Ann to care for your animal(s)!!”

About: I have volunteered at Animal Protective League for nearly 12 years. I am a lover of all animals big and small. Several family members have relied on me to care for their dogs and other pets during that time. Most of my experience is centered around cats as I foster kittens for my local animal shelter, but I did grow up with several dogs. I may not have a dog now, but I will do my best to care for each and every fur-baby that I meet. I am partially employed to a small business that gives me work opportunities when they need extra help. Unfortunately those opportunities are mostly seasonal so I won't receive any work until spring (if COVID doesn't get any worse). They do let me know if they need me several weeks in advance, and my open schedule can be adjusted accordingly if I am given a regulated schedule by someone who wants me to regularly walk/check in with their pet during the day. I have experience house-sitting and caring for my employer's animals. I make a daily schedule for my duties and keep in touch with my employer's in case that schedule changes or if I have any questions/comments about

“Jennifer is an animal person through and through. I would trust her with my fur baby without a second thought. She is very caring towards animals needs, and would be great on a walk or a play date. She is very loving and any Rover member would find a fast favorite for their pup.”

“Mckenzie was very good with our pup. She made Molly feel right at home and treated her like she was her own. Molly loved being there and and trusted her! I highly recommend Mckenzie!”

“Kevin has taken care of our pitty mix several times. She is crazy about him and always wants to go with him when she sees him. She loves to go for walks and/or rides with him. He treats her as part of the family. We will always feel comfortable allowing him to watch her.”
