Dog Walkers in Alden, IL

“Deanne provided daily drop-in dog walking for my 1 year old golden puppy, Daisy. Daisy is full of energy and can be a bit much but she always seemed happy when I got home from work after having a walk with Deanne. Deanne was always flexible with hours, often accomodating change in dog walking times as needed. She always sent photos of Daisy during or after the walks. I would highly recommend Deanne for her services!!”

“Andy was great! We had a meet & greet so Andy could meet our dog in advance, and there was no problem at all. On the day of the walk Andy stayed in contact with us, shared pictures, and played with our dog afterwards. 100% would recommend.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a kid, I also have experience as a kennel tech for over a year of helping with surgeries, recover, medication, anything under the sun I am comfortable doing it for your kiddo. I am comfortable with any dog or cat you throw at me, and of course make sure they feel loved and cared for. I work from home as a content creator or my whole day is pet care. The second I wake up I take my German shepherd for a walk before I even have my coffee in the morning, I include basic training alongside the walk as well. I get back from the walk and of course make sure my 3 cats are fed with all different dietary needs as my male cat has feline herpes so needs special treatment. I get ready for work but before I do I’ll take my dog out again, work, and basically is repeated from the morning. My main phrase I say is either what’s in your mouth or where’s your ball, even during work I will be throwing the ball for my dog, doing training on stream, or even telling my stream to pause as my dog needs attention. I devote every waking moment to my kids. Of course before I accept any job I would come and meet and your kids beforehand to make sure it is something I can handle and to get an idea how eat pet behaves.

“Jack did a great job with Pivo on his walks. He was punctual and watched over Pivo the way we had asked him to. We'd be happy to have Jack walk Pivo in the future.”

About: I’ve grown up with two dogs—one small and one large—so I’m comfortable handling all sizes. I enjoy caring for high-energy dogs just as much as calm, cuddly ones. Whether it’s playtime or downtime, I adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I do not have a job, I am looking but am currently unemployed and starting school again in August! I will have plenty of time to visit your pups this summer and even during school:) I have a fenced backyard with lots of space and trees for your dog to run around!! I have a Big German Shepard who is friendly and loves to play with other dogs outside!!

About: I tend to be able to understand a dog's motivations and emotions, and I can calm them if upset or discipline them kindly and effectively. I want to be an animal behaviorist, so I really make it a point to understand them. All dogs I have met love me, and I love them too, so it works well. Dogs are just trying their best to be a great companion, and when their companion is away, I can be there. I work well with cats and other animals, too. I have raised dogs to their old age, and I have fostered puppies. I have experience with dogs that don't want to listen very well, and dogs that listen to every word. I can look after your dog any time during the week, and occasionally during the weekend. If you have questions about my availability, feel free to ask. I am between jobs right now, so I have all the time in the world for you and your little buddies. Just let me know when! Your pets will be supervised inside the house and out. They'll receive any meals and medicines at the proper times, and go for as many potty breaks and walks as the little fellas want. You will have no mess to clean up when you return.

About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was 17. I’ve owned 4 dogs at one point. I have raised two litters of cats. I currently have one dog and one cat! I love animals and would love to help you give love to yours! Rover is my full time job so I am available! I will give your loved ones undivided attention! I will follow directions and make sure I give them lots of love and attention. I do not work currently. I only have to be at home at 2 to pick up my daughter from school. But I have a pretty open schedule. I walk my dog three times a day to ensure there aren’t any accidents at home. I have a gate in case i have to separate pets.

About: I have been caring for all sorts of critters since I was very young. From pet sitting neighbors cats at age 7, to my first job at a pet store caring for all sorts of animals, and finally the last 13 years in veterinary medicine. I am well rounded in ANIMALS! Everyone knows me as the animal girl or vet tech. Caring for animals is my passion. I am familiar with many medications and able to administer them. I have cared for the young and the old. I grew up with Sophie my paralyzed Dachshund that I helped my parents care for including expressing her bladder. My Jack Russell Greenbean also became paralyzed in her last couple years of life and also needed around the clock care. I am well versed in senior care. I have cared for reptiles, small animals, birds, dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and would love to care for any farm/barnyard animals. We currently have Mac our pitbull/boxer mix, Oak our Australian cattle mix, Stitch our box tortoise and our chicken ladies. I can also offer nail trim and anal gland expression services if needed. I currently only work part time so I have a wide variety of hours to offer care. My mornings start with animal care and my nights end with animal care. I have a variety of dog/cat beds, big and small, all cozy of course. I have multiple different sizes and styles of crates if your dog is crate trained. We have a 3 acre lot that has a fenced pasture. We are in a court so I have the ability to also leash walk around the neighborhood if requested. My dogs are friendly and love visitors. I have a small animal cage that used to be for our ratties and can be used for a small animal/exotic pet.

About: I've spent years caring for pets and have professional experience as a dog trainer. I specialize in obedience, leash manners, and providing loving, reliable pet care. Whether it's daily walks, training reinforcement, or cozy companionship, I ensure every pet feels safe and happy while their owners are away. With a flexible part-time work schedule, I can prioritize each pet’s needs, ensuring they get the attention, care, and exercise they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or playtime, I adapt to their routine to provide consistent, loving care. My schedule allows me to be there when your pet needs me most! I provide loving, reliable care for pets in their own home, ensuring their daily routine stays consistent. From mealtime to playtime and snuggles, I prioritize their comfort and happiness. Whether it's following feeding schedules, daily walks, or medication needs, I do my best to keep their routine uninterrupted, so they feel safe and secure while you're away.

About: I put 30+ years of pet care experience on here but it’s really more like 45. I’ve been taking care of our family pets since I was 8 years old. I always took care of family and friend’s pets, stayed at their homes when they needed me to watch them or just played with their fur babies so they wouldn’t be alone during the day. I feel a very kindred connection towards dogs and cats (& other animals) and give them as much love and happiness as I can. I’m currently working part-time as a substitute teacher, so I have a lot of availability on the weekends and during the day, especially during the summer and spring break. Additionally, I create a schedule so I can work around yours and mine. I have a fenced in yard, but walk my dog daily on a leash when I take him out. He is showered in love and is very well behaved.

About: I truly love all animals. There was never a time where I didn’t want to be around a dog or cat. I personally have a dog named Nala. I take her to dog parks, walk her, and play with her any chance I get! Right now I am in the midst of graduate school at Oshkosh for my masters in school counseling. Mondays and Wednesday’s I have class from 9-12 and weekends I bartend at night. I take Nala’s care very seriously. She takes her daily/monthly medicines and she goes to the vet on when needed. She also gets groomed once a month. I feed her the best possible food I can afford (grain free) and monitor what she eats.

About: I frequently pet sit for my both my sisters and parents animals. One was a siberian husky, another is a dachsund/terrier mix and the others were a mixed hound breed and a poodle/bichon frise. I also petsit and did overnight visits with a previous professors golden retriever and golden/Irish setter mix. I own a small mixed breed dog (similar to a Jack russell)Russell, and grew up with a Brittany Spaniel and a West Highland White Terrier. I also have frequent contact with my boyfriends parents dogs: a dachshund, and a cattle dog. I work part-time currently, and am scheduled Wed, Thurs, and Fri, and the occasional Saturday. I am available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day, and mornings on Wed, and Thurs. I currently live in a condo so my small dog is ideal for the space. Since my dog is reactive to other dogs, I would be doing only clients homes overnights, visits, and walks.
