Dog Walking Augerville

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I've cared for dogs in a home environment, including feeding, walking, bathing, playing, and maintaining their daily routines. I'm also a PhD student at the University of Illinois and work from home most of the week, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same attention I would want for my own pets! I'm currently a PhD student at the University of Illinois, and I work from home most of the week. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I'm generally available on both weekdays and weekends for boarding, doggy day care, walks, and drop-in visits. Since I'm home so frequently, pets won't have to spend long periods of time alone, and I can easily accommodate their regular feeding, exercise, and bathroom routines. I live in a dog-friendly, first-floor apartment that provides a comfortable and welcoming environment for pets. Since I work from home most of the week, I'm able to provide regular supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize each pet's safety and comfort by following their usual routines, including feeding schedules, walks, bathroom breaks, and playtime. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I'm happy to accommodate their individual preferences. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure to respect their space, follow all instructions carefully, and maintain their pet's normal routine. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for!

“Mark had a great walk with SugarBear, who seems to remember him and was on good behavior. It was very nice to see how nicely the puppy is responding to and getting along with Mark.”

About: I grew up with animals, and am experienced with taking care of cats and dogs. In Champaign, I have had four cat over different times and now I have a Doodle dog, who is a caring and loving gentleman! I am mostly available in the morning, late afternoons, and early evenings. Other times I spend my time studying at the library and trying to graduate toward my PhD degree. I live in a house and have lots of free space. We have a fenced yard with short fences that work for our large doodle just fine. However, if your fur baby is an escape artist, our fence might be too short and flimsy...

About: I would love to help keep your pets safe, cared for, and loved! I work as a dog groomer and have 3 dogs of my own, so I have a lot of experience with dogs of all different ages, behaviors, and sizes! I enjoy being with and taking care of dogs. I have pretty open availability on evenings and weekends to take care of your pet(s)! I also typically have all day availability on Thursdays. I have the availability to take your dogs on a walk or just check in and spend some time hanging out with them at your house! I can walk reactive, pulling, and big dogs! Before each visit, please be sure that your pet has well-fitted walking gear to prevent them from pulling out of their collar or harness. I am more than happy to give you a text confirmation each time I enter and leave your home!

“We needed help with our pup last minute and Misty was quick to respond and willing to work with our schedule. During the meet and greet I could tell she was very comfortable with animals as well as knowledgable. Overall Misty was amazing to work with and I felt at ease knowing our fur baby was in good hands.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters? I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s a slow walk for an older pup or high-energy playtime for a young one, I meet animals where they are. I have two dogs of my own—Theo and Sage—so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Beyond personal experience, I have a BA in animal science and I’m currently in the process of earning my master’s degree in Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication, with a focus on companion animals. I also work as an assistant educator, so I bring a calm, thoughtful approach to every visit. I’m confident administering medications, caring for nervous or senior pets, and yes—I genuinely don’t mind deep-cleaning litter boxes. I treat every animal like family, with patience, care, and a whole lot of love I’m currently working full time until 3pm. However Whether it’s morning walks, meal times, or evening play sessions, I’m used to planning my day around pets’ needs. I live in a three-story townhouse with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable—whether they want to play or have their own quiet area. My own dogs are friendly, but I can easily keep pets separate if needed. I also have some dog training experience, so I’m confident handling different temperaments and routines. Your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for here or in your home! I do ask that your pet be crate trained and doesn't bark in the crate since I do live very close to neighbors.

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was born from dogs, to fish, and even a turtle. Given, I have experience in both raising puppies and senior care. My family has lost our 16 year old labrador retriever last year, Mac, due to old age and would like to continue to show our love for pets through helping other families! We recently got Mickey, who is an energetic and fun Shih Poo looking to make friends! I am currently not working so I have plenty of time to take care of any of your pets needs. I currently have open availability! I have a spacious home and large unfenced yard for your dog to play and relax. Your pet will also be very safe under consistent supervision and attention to their needs.

About: I dog sat for many people in my town during all years of high school and first two years of college! I moved farther away from home and would love to meet new furry friends! My weekends are completely open and my Tuesdays and Thursdays only have one two hour lab working with animals! Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays I have more classes but I have breaks in between where I could check in on pets! I always understand that each situation and animal is different so I always ask that the owner tell me exactly how they care for the animal and want me to care for them. For instance, I’ve had clients with elderly dogs on multiple medications needing a chill and very safe environment from other animals, and I’ve had other clients where their animal roams throughout the house all day and their cat comes in and out! Both are completely fine I just like to know what the animals are used to!

About: Hi! I’m an 18-year-old student living right here in the area, and I’ve been a proud dog owner for years.

Tuesdays & Thursdays: Available starting at 11:30 AM onward (class until 11:00 AM). Wednesdays: Available starting at 3:15 PM onward (class until 2:50 PM).

About: I grew up with dogs and have house sat my brother's dog on numerous occasions throughout the time I've been in the Champaign area. I have also house sat cats for a friend back in Indiana. I have also house sat my parents' dog on numerous occasions. Walking dogs of various sizes is no trouble for me, and I honestly just love animals in general. I love to play with them, talk to them, and love on them as if they're my own if people let me! As of right now, I have plenty of time to play with your pets! Unless I have prior commitments, I am unlikely to refuse a request. I grew up with dogs, and I've house sat cats before, as I've mentioned. They always had food, water, playtime, and plenty of love and attention as they saw fit. I treat others' pets as if they're my own

“Zoey is amazing and has watched my animals several times. Recently she worked with me to fit them into her already busy schedule, and then agreed to walk them when I was away from the house for a long day this weekend. Zoey is always responsive and kind, and she sends lots of pictures of the babies :) I always feel like they are well cared for and happy, and I never worry about them under her care. I would highly recommend, and I plan to use her services again in the future!”

About: I am a true animal lover who loves caring for your special family member(s) as if they are my own. I love to play with, walk, groom, and spend time with pets and provide a warm, loving, and safe environment. I also know how hard it is to leave your babies with strangers and take special care to send you pictures and videos while you're apart. Let me know what your baby needs and I'll make sure they have the best time possible while you're away. Please note that I do have two very friendly and playful Boston Terriers in the home but if your pet prefers its own space, I have a huge house and a private room dedicated to your pet if they need it. I work out of my home, which is a enormous space with a large fenced back yard. I also love walking dogs several times a day and will be able to provide 24/7 care for your pet in my home. I have a large fenced yard, two separate rooms just for pets (should they need to be alone), and a large vehicle for transport. I also have a large kennel set up in case your pet responds best to being kenneled at time. I don't leave my dogs unattended outside.

“I appreciated Lorri's quick response and thoughtful approach to understanding the needs of my dogs. My dogs took to her immediately upon meeting. I felt at ease putting my trust in Lorri. My dogs and I are so glad to have her!”

About: Long time fur dad and lifelong lover of animals. Have personal and professional experience with a vast variety of dog breeds. Well versed in training and obedience should you need it. Your cats and other critters will love me too, even reptiles! Currently I have a dog, cat, and two chinchillas. As a local realtor my schedule is very flexible so I can give your pets lots of time and attention. I work from home so your pet(s) are never unsupervised while here. I'm available Monday-Sunday to give your pet the concierge level of care they deserve. Not knowing where you are can be stressful for pets. I do my best to make sure your pet is at ease and has fun while you are away. I live near a lake and trails that make for some great walking. If your pet needs to be in a kennel while sleeping that is no problem, otherwise they are welcome on the furniture like my own pets are. My dog is very friendly, non-dominant, and loves having a buddy to romp around with. The cat will ignore them.

About: Three years volunteering at animals shelters and caring for the animals including walks, exercise, cleaning and training of dogs, cats and rats.

Can pet sit, walk, train and provide other necessary care for your beloved pet of any kind on any day of the week. I am here for your furry loved ones like I am here for my own. Love and trust are things we must build in our relationships with our furry babies. No different than with people. Through many years of experience having pets and caring for them in various institutions, I have no problem with hard work and patience when it comes to the customized care for each individual pet.
