Dog Walking Arcola

“I 've used Chrystal for daily drop ins and a drop by walk. She is great and I am glad I found her for my senior dog. Dottie took right to her and even one of my cats visited with her while she was there. I will certainly use her again. I appreciate all the pictures from the visits!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I enjoy making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication when needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time of time to care for your pets! I’m available for boarding Friday-Sunday, and weekdays after 1pm I have a fenced in backyard and a friendly dog to keep your pets company. I can easily create your dog if need. At your home I’ll take care of all animals making sure they get the care they need and making sure they have fresh water and use the bathroom.

About: I have experience as a kennel technician, a pet sitter, and a groomer and my experience has provided me with the utmost qualification to provide for pets of all kinds. Having met pets with all kinds of quirks and preferences, I understand that all pets need specified care catering to their unique needs. I am a student with a very flexible schedule and have the ability to make time for your needs. Making time for your pets will be no problem, and I can assure that I am eligible to bend my schedule to your specifications. Caring for each pet will look different, and having information on your pet and their preferences will make catering to them much easier. I will always be sure to provide the utmost care to your pet and accommodate all of their needs, adjusting to their preferences.

About: I bring 15 years of hands-on pet care experience, giving me a deep understanding of different breeds, personalities, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, active dogs, and senior pets who may need extra love, slow walks, or medication reminders. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and understood, especially while their family is away. My goal is to keep routines consistent, provide lots of affection, and give you peace of mind with updates, photos, and clear communication. I work from home and I’m also a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. I’m home consistently, which means your pet gets lots of attention, playtime, and a steady routine — not just quick check-ins. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding on schedule, or extra cuddle time, I’m able to be present and attentive. Pets are part of our daily rhythm here, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and included in a calm, comfortable home environment. I truly treat every pet like family. Whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I focus on keeping their routine familiar and their environment comfortable. I offer plenty of affection, playtime, and patience, and I make sure their needs are met — from feeding and walks to quiet cuddle time. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort level, so they feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. My goal is for them to feel at home, not stressed or out of place.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, and it’s always been my dream to become a veterinarian. I have a small farm with goats, chickens, and cats, so I have experience caring for different types of animals and understanding their individual needs. I’ve always loved helping animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m also comfortable caring for animals of different ages and personalities, and I’m always willing to learn anything specific that your pet needs! I’m currently working part-time while attending school, so I have a flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends, and I’m generally available from 8 AM to 8 PM. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets get the attention and care they need. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and happiness of every pet in my care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I will treat your home with respect and make sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

Currently I am making Rover my priority. When I moved from Florida to Georgia I unfortunately had to leave my doggos behind. So, spending time and taking great care of your doggos will bring back the genuine happiness I felt when I was with my own dogs. Because I am making Rover my main priority, my schedule is completely free. I can work through the week, weekends, and holidays when needed. The most important thing in my opinion is to listen to them, observe their body language and love them like a best friend. Make sure they're getting the proper care such as walking them, spending time with them, talk to them, take them outside to play or go potty, bathe them, play with them and so forth.

About: My whole life I’ve had multiple pets in the home, growing up I had 3 cats and 2 dogs. I currently have a puppy and a cat, I raised the puppy from 4 weeks old to 8 months old. I have experience fostering all kinds of pets especially cats. My career as a pet groomer is centered around dogs and their behaviors, so I have ample experience with all different breeds and behaviors. I work full time as a pet groomer so I’m constantly around pets! I currently have a 8 month old Chihuahua mix and a 1 year old tabby cat and absolutely adore having them around. I’m off all day Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays and would be available all day! I would be able to help out after 6:30 the rest of the weekdays! I will make sure your pet is in their own comfortable environment and follows their regular routine! I have both of my pets on a schedule for eating, exercise, play time and sleeping. All pets need stimulation and companionship, so I prefer to play with your pet for a while and keep them company for as long as you need. I’m not just there to feed the pet, but also provide your pet with comfort and care while making sure they’re getting enough mental stimulation!

About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.

About: Pet care is almost second nature for me. I’ve been entrusted with caring for pets since I was a child and started taking it more seriously in my adulthood. Having furry friends to hang out with is truly the highlight of any day/week for me. I work in the restaurant biz, but I’m able to set my schedule for the most part, so taking on pet sitting gigs is easy for me. While I live in an apartment, it is VERY pet friendly. It has a dog washing station on my floor, as well as multiple pet play areas around the property. Inside your fur babies can enjoy spacious areas and easily accessible food an water station. And for the babies that like to feel the wind in their hair, I’ve got a balcony that looks over a portion of River Walk! I initiate play time and adhere to any specific walking and eating schedule your baby may have.
