Dog Walkers in Bismarck, IL

“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: I have been pet-sitting for 5 years. I have a dog of my own as well and know how important it is to be able to trust who you are leaving your companion with. I care for each pet like they are my own and make sure they are cared for while you are away! I am able to accomodate the schedule and routine you need for your pet's needs and am able to be flexible to ensure all your pet's needs are met! I am able to accurately follow all directions you leave when caring for your pet in your home. If dog walking services are what you are looking for, I am able to walk as long as your pet needs!

About: I've grown up with dogs of my own and helping friends and family with their's while away. I've always loved spending time with them, training, playing, or just laying in the sun. I typically work tuesday-thursday mornings until 3pm. Otherwise my schedule is fairly flexible! I'll happily make time to come hang out with your furry companion! I have a fenced in yard and two dogs that love to make friends! While one would rather mosey around the other loves to play ball or chase! However for the dogs that are more shy and reserved I have plenty of patience and willing to help them come out of their shell!

About: Growing up in the country I have had about every animal. It has taught me from an early age responsibility, nurturing, & experience in caring for pets. I am a nurse 20 years+ in the ER/trauma field. There are many similarities. I am walking & providing care for dogs because sometimes I love working with dogs a little more than working with people 😉 “Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen“ My schedule is flexible ! If I’m not dog walking I volunteer at shelters and work on my barn getting ready for my next horse. I am insured. This is an awesome hobby in carrying out something I love doing. I took a certification course in pet psychology. Common sense along with knowledge such as obedience & safety basics while giving your dog great exercise is my priority.

About: I’ve cared for family dogs and cats my entire life! I am very active and would love to have new fur friends to go on walks with and care for! I am free mostly Monday through Wednesday and can make some weekends work as well! I’m able to drop in and take care of your babies or take them on walks! I am able to handle bigger dogs and I have a vehicle so I come to your house or take the pets to dog park or trails!

“Milo is very good with Lexi and Lexi looks forward to her walks. I’m so happy Milo agreed to take on Lexi.”

About: I’m very detail oriented and treat your pet as my own. I’m great with timing and any medical needs. Your pet is in good hands I am currently in school, work part time at a gym, and have my own pets and my family/friends animals that I also take care of. Many people trust me for their pet needs, especially when they need to be out of town When I’m at a clients home I make sure to keep the areas where the pet is clean and also create a friendly environment so that your pet trusts me and has an enjoyable time with you out of the house

About: I've taken care of all types of dogs and cats from all age ranges. I love animals, and I have been animal-sitting since I was around 12 years old, for about 7 years. The biggest skills I have are being able to spend extra time with the animals to make them feel loved while you are away. I am currently working part-time and attending school part-time during the summer. I am very available to take care of your animals during the morning, day, and evening. I like to spend between 15 and 30 minutes with the animals between visits to make them feel loved, so they are less stressed. I make sure they are well fed and exercised daily and are enjoying their time while you are away.

About: My name is Hannah - I attend the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine and will be graduating as a veterinarian in 2027. I have worked in the field of veterinary medicine for the past 7 years, in both general practice and emergency medicine. I have lots of experience with all types of animals of various demeanors, including fearful and fractious pets. I also have experience giving medications and caring for animals with a wide range of medical conditions. Please reach out to discuss my availability as it varies week-to-week, especially during the school year. I do my absolute best to keep my calendar up to date & am happy to move things around as needed! My husband & I moved into our house last year, which has a completely fenced in backyard and lots of room for play! I have 2 young Siamese-mix cats and a Dalmatian puppy, who loves to meet new friends. For this reason, I would love to know ahead of time how your animal does with other pets, so that I can plan accordingly!

About: Hi! I would love to meet your pet and work with you to ensure a great dog walking/sitting experience! I have years of experience starting as a dog sitter for neighbors growing up and now taking in a variety of clients and breeds. I’m comfortable with small or big dogs. I am currently studying at University which gives me a less rigid schedule than someone working a 9-5. My class breaks give me the perfect opportunity to take the time to know your pet and give them some exercise and engagement! I think it’s important that your pet feels familiar and comfortable with me and so I typically advocate for a meeting with you the owner there before I dog sit to make sure your pet can adjust easier.

“Madison is fantastic, attentive, and goes the extra mile!! Cleo LOVES walks with Madie and her tail wags as soon as she sees her. She has been so reliable and consistent with her help and we appreciate her SO MUCH!!”

About: I love all animals and believe that, just like us humans, dogs thrive when they get lots of love and exercise. I'd really love to help you achieve this for your doggy, who I would treat like my own child.

About: I have taken care of dogs from 8weeks old to 10 years old, and many breeds from small, Chihuahua size to big, great pyrenees. I used to foster cats, and have a cat of my own. Coworkers have even relied on me to feed outdoor animals while away, etc. I work part time, usually 5-6 days a week but gone for no more than 6 hours a day, and can go back to let out and walk on a lunch break. I am in school full time, but all my classes are online so it allows me to have complete free flexibility and not have to attend class in person. I always make sure pets are comfortable, if not more comfortable as me. Pets are a huge part of family’s. They are family members themselves. They deserve love and attention, and to be played with, and fed on a schedule, and exercise too. Also words of affirmation like “good boy” if they do something correct. And “bad boy” if wrong. I have never once hit an animal to show a sign of bad behavior, and think that is wrong.

“Thank you for taking care or my boy Dewey on short notice. I know he likes you from the routes he likely pointed toward, he got some frssh sites and smells in. Nice one!”

I am good with puppy and kitten care as well. I am a house cleaner as well, so it tends to mix in with the pet care. I am consistently taking care of myself, my house, and my animals. I walk my dog every day, I feed all of my animals at the same time every day, I keep regular vet appointments, and all of my animals are up to date on their vaccines and spay/neutering.

About: I love doing it all from walking, pet sitting to bathing. Your babies will always be first priority. Providing the best care that they need. I want to make pet care my full time job, so your babies can get the appropriate walk and attention they deserve without being rushed. Providing a clean and safe environment free of hazards. A fenced in yard for safe supervised free play. Comfy beds, blankets, toys and lots of stuff to sniff.
