Dog Walkers in Ava, IL

About: IHi there! My name is Sierra and I'm a passionate animal lover with 8 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. Whether it's a playful pup who needs energetic walks or a cuddly cat who craves lap time, I'm here to provide them with the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away. Here's what you can expect when you choose me: Experienced and Reliable: With 8 years under my belt, I'm comfortable handling all sorts of pet personalities and needs. Flexible and Trustworthy: I can customize my services to fit your pet's routine, from daily walks and playtime to medication administration and overnight stays. Communication is Key: I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax and enjoy your trip knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for. I have experience with: dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles I am currently working at a local pet store. I am available before 8AM and after 4:30 during the week, with open availability on the weekends. I start off by slowly introducing myself to the animal. Once we have a basic sense of trust, I like to get the dog on the leash, and outside to establish comfort. From there, we will play, walk, potty, and snuggle if needed!

“Laura was fantastic and will definitely use again”

“Stephanie is kind with my pets , she treats them with tons of love and they are really comfortable around her. We love her so much :?”

“Kayla is the most wonderful and pet loving person I have ever met. She occasionally watches my dog and shows him upmost love and makes sure everything goes as planned. I never have to worry when she is around.”

“Gabrielle is an upstanding animal lover. She is kind, patient, and can have a firm hand when necessary. Watching her pup cuddle up to her is like watching the best Showtime movie. My dog would be thrilled to go for a jaunt with her, if we lived close! Let Gabrielle take your pup on an adventure. I promise he/she will have the time of their life!”

About: I have years of experience dog and cat sitting! I love animals and I have two labrador retriever puppies of my own! I also have a kitten! I am currently in college but with a minimal class load so I have a ton of time to take care of your pets! My dogs love to go to the dog park every day and play frisbee so that is also part of our routine! I have two friendly lab puppies to keep your dog company! I have a crate if your dog needs to sleep there at night! Otherwise our puppies normally sleep in bed or on the couch!

“Highly recommend Kelina for all of your pet-sitting needs! She’s has an amazing work ethic and will go above and beyond for your pets! Highly reliable too!”

About: I grew up with a dog, currently live with two dogs and a large (long) cat who also will play or lay with the dogs. Dogs are funny, fun to play with and great to walk, especially since I get to exercise too ;) plus I love trying to teach them tricks! I have a passion for animals and photography so I have volunteered at an animal shelter (Tails Humane Society)! I took pictures of adoptable animals for their website as well as taking photos at their fundraising events. I have also driven around in my own to collect any donations people were willing to give and donate them to a couple animal shelters. Ultimately, I enjoy helping and do the as much as I can to help animals. Available most all day every day to help with your pets whenever you need. I'm glad to help, I really enjoy helping others with their pets I will do what is needed like feed, water and walk but always try to stay a bit longer to spend time with the animal. I like to think of it as giving them some company for a bit while their owner is away :)

“I have known Kalen for most of his life. He was raised around animals loves them , cleans up after them in the yard. Kalen loves his dogs and all dogs. They lay on him and he pets and loves on them. They are his babies. He always has a big smile and a hug for a dog. he’s great with actually all animals especially dogs. he owns dogs and he’s very good with them he takes time to play with them and love on them and teach them. I would certainly let him be my dog sitter if I was going away for a while I trust him all the way”

“Rachael is one of the most caring and conscientious people when it comes to looking after and interacting with animals. Throughout the last 10+ years of knowing Rachael, I have seen the dedication she puts into making sure the pets around her are well-taken care of and well-loved. This is apparent whether it is one of her own pets, the pet of a friend, or one of the several dogs that she has fostered. I have trusted her to look after my cats on numerous occasions and I know I never have to worry that they are looked after and attended to.”

About: I have been around dogs for over 13 years and have trained them. I love dogs and love to walk them run with them and teach them. I worked at an animal shelter for 6 years and enjoyed every minute of it being able to work with and help animals in need.

If you have any questions for me don’t hasitate to ask I want you to feel comfortable leaving your family with me your pets will be treated like family when they aren’t in my care. Hope you choose me to watch your pets on your next trip or even to let them out for potty breaks while your at work I have a schedule that is just up in the air depending on the day and the amount of dogs I have that I would be watching I have two dogs in my home they are super friendly and playful! I enjoy spending as much time with the pups as I can

“I'm so happy Esther is choosing to do this! She loves animals and I remember volunteering with her at the humane shelter a while ago, and the staff would always light up when she walked in. It's because she is so good with the dogs! She's also watched my dog a few times at her house, and he always loves it! I would highly recommend her!”
