Dog Walkers in Appaloosa West, IL

“With our schedules constantly changing, we needed someone to check-in and walk our dog during the work week. We have a strong 60 lbs. German Shorthaired Pointer with lots of energy and Jenny has been extremely helpful, flexible, and caring toward our pet. She is very responsive, sends updates and pictures from visit. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with Jenny’s dog services!”

“Kimberly was amazing with our crazy dog! We just moved and he was a bit anxious, but he loved her! She even offered to sew up one of the things he tore up in his kennel! She is so sweet and kept me informed on how my crazy little boy was doing while I was at work! I will definitely book her again!”

About: Hello! 😁 🐾 I solely believe that dogs should be treated just like any other family member! There is a reason “DOG” spelled backwards is “GOD!” I have been an animal lover all my life for as long as I can remember, always taking inspiration from the Irwin Family! It would be a great honor to walk your dog as I am a lover of all dogs! I treat all dogs the same with equal amounts of respect and care. I'm a big advocate for walking dogs on the daily, as it is important to keep them healthy and happy and to ultimately maintain their health/wellness! I’m super passionate about dogs, nature, health, fitness, dance, family, music and Christ! I have approx. 14 years of experience walking and taking care of my own little fur baby, named Haley! I truly enjoy being a dog mom! 🐾 I’ll be sure to treat your pet with loving care and attention, as I know it is essential to support our furry pals and do whatever it is to make them happy!

I understand not every pet likes to be social, so I will take that in to consideration. I will keep in mind of your pet's lifestyle and how active they are to determine how much exercise best fits their needs. I am blessed to have a lot of experience with pets, as I have worked in the Veterinary Field, grew up in a house full of pets, and have a dog of my very own. I have worked with many different types of dogs of different sizes and personalities and have learned many various techniques and skill-sets along the way. I am always looking to expand my knowledge from what I’ve already learned and grow in each experience! I'm able to use harnesses, leashes and collars of different kinds: retractable, chain, fabric... Ultimately, I put the pet first and will make sure they are in very great hands! I look forward to learning about you and your pet, and help better their lives! 🐕🐩🐕‍🦺🦮 *I have had experience with administrating insulin and dogs who have been diagnosed with diabetes and/or pancreatitis. 💉🏥 My availability is pretty open all days of the week and times!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have a genuine passion for them. I have experience in dogs of all sizes from Yorkie mixes to English mastiffs. Most of my experience is with older dogs but willing to work with puppies. I love taking the time to get to know each dog and their personalities. I am a teacher on summer break so my schedule is pretty flexible this time of year! Most of my availability is during the day for walking but can be available at night if needed. I am comfortable putting dogs in and out of crates and administering medication if needed. Not afraid to clean up messes when needed. Comfortable walking dogs. I have my own car so I can drive if needed at any time.

“Lizzie was great and accommodating! She was able to do a few house visits during the holidays, which can be very hard to find. My dog also gives up on all training when it’s cold outside but she made it work and provided thorough updates. I would definitely book her again.”

About: I have grown up with small dogs and large dogs. Between Shih Tzus, Aussies, labs, huskies and more, I have been around them all. I currently have four Aussies in our family home that I care for everyday. They are very energetic dogs so I am always playing with them outside or taking them on walks. As well, I have volunteered at many animal shelters and currently volunteer at my college animals shelter. It has given me lots of experience with dogs of all sizes, needs, energy levels, and comfort levels. As well as time spent socializing with the cats! As a college student who mostly babysits, I am very flexible with my weeks. I have a lot of random availability and free time during the day. As well, if I do work, it is usually during the day so I can stay with your animals over night. I am open to any options of care. With fenced in homes, I am always going to let your fur baby run around and play with them. Though, I love to walk and I know they do too. Walks will always happen even if play happens first!

About: I have been pet sitting for several years ever since I was around the age of 13. Additionally, I work at Anderson Humane in South Elgin as a kennel tech and have been working there since August! I have worked with many different animals as a Kennel Tech, I also have experience with administering medicine and I am Fear Free certified. My animal experience is very important to me as I plan on majoring in animal science on the pre-vet track this upcoming fall when I head off to college! :) I work part time but I have plenty of time to care for your pets otherwise. My availability is open most of the time so just let me know when I’m needed and I should be able to accommodate! I look forward to meeting your pets! I am experienced in ensuring your animal stays comfortable and happy even if they may get nervous meeting someone new for example... I have lots of experience working with shy and reactive dogs and am comfortable with all temperaments because I can handle them well! I know how important your pets are so I am well prepared for anything!

About: My energy to match each animal is above many other sitters. I love to stay active and go on adventures. Snuggle time and training time is equally important. If your pet loves attention, then we will be a great match. I worked in a Shelter/Daycare and loved every minute of it. I am currently taking care of 2 elderly clients in their home part-time and would love to fill my time with your precious family pet. I would be unable to take your pet in my home at this time. My preference would be in your home which is more comfortable for your pet. OVER 30 MILES TRAVEL +$10 EACH WAY.

“Stephanie was amazing! She came over for a meet and greet on short notice and stayed for an hour to answer all of my questions, and meet my pup. She came over every day to walk her while I was away and my family was working. She even checked to make sure my dog was given her medicine and gave it to her if needed. I got messages/updates and pictures every day which really put me at ease. Not only did she take excellent care of my baby, but she also checked in on me to see how my trip was, which was really nice of her. Stephanie really went above and beyond just walking Charlie, she took the time to make sure she had everything she needed and gave her plenty of love. I will absolutely use her in the future!!”

About: With over 12 years of experience, I've cared for multiple dogs, trained two, and consistently follow routines. I enjoy walking dogs and ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and well-fed. I’ve also cared for my uncle’s dogs and picked up many effective training techniques along the way. I'm reliable, patient, and passionate about giving every dog the attention and structure they need. I currently don’t have another job, so my schedule is completely open and flexible. I’m available any day, any time, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s a last-minute request or a regular routine, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your dog’s needs. My open availability means you can always count on me. I always follow the feeding and walking schedules provided by clients to ensure each dog’s routine stays consistent and comfortable. Most clients leave a list or specific details, and I make sure to stick to them closely. In between scheduled tasks, I spend quality time playing with the dogs, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company so they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you're away.

About: Experienced in pet sitting and dog walking, including maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic care, and ensuring pets get proper exercise and attention.
