Dog Walkers in Baileyville, IL

About: I've had many cats through the years. Currently have 5 of my own including 2 sphynx. I have sadly lost a few cats over the years and I've had to take care of my sick babies so I'm not afraid to take care of sick pets or give medicine as needed. Currently I have to give one of my own cats medicine every other day for his asthma. I'm just a animal lover. Most animals like me. I've also had a couple of dogs over the years but don't currently have any but I love them. I love walking them and playing with them. I'm so looking forward to taking care of your fur babies. 😊 I work full time in Freeport but get an hour break so am available for 30 min walks or drop ins during that time. Also am available after work and most weekends. I clean litter boxes every couple of days and play with my cats daily. Make sure they always have food and water. Wet food in the morning and sometimes treats. Walks too of course. I make sure they get all the love and attention they want and need.

“Andy has been a wonderful companion to Louie. I have a four-year-old bull terrier, which is a very fussy breed with a lot of quirks. She showed up early for a meet and greet and has embraced my dog's silliness with a great attitude and tons of compassion. Louie comes home from his walks tired and happy.”

“Amanda is super kind and flexible. My dog Lucy absolutely adores walks/but can also be a bit difficult. Amanda has been accommodating and great for both of us. Thank you!”

About: Hey everyone I'm Ella and I've always had a house hold full of pets. Growing up my parents allowed a wide variety of animals to stay in our home. I love animals so much that I'm going in to a career field that is dedicated solely on the help of marine organisms. I currently live with a dog, cat, bearded dragon, leopard gecko and a ton of fish. So basically I can care for any pet needed. I work part time so I have a ton of free time on my hands. I’m trying to find better ways to spend my time rather than always going out. Hanging with any pet is always so fun and usually a better time then going out to begin with! Each pets different, all come with special likes and dislikes. I usually love to take dogs for walks but some may not be able to walk, and in those situations I like to do mind puzzles. For pet sitting I’d come over to the clients home and spend a few hours with them unless it’s a sleep away care. Pet walks would last min 30 minutes just to give the dogs some fresh air longer than normally done during days.

“Jessica was very helpful and she accommodated me the last minute. Josie loved her walks!”
