Dog Walking Bloomdale

About: My years of experience is for professional experience. Years personal experience is well over 20. I’ve had pets all my life growing up from exotics to cats and dogs. Professionally I’ve been a pet groomer (can do small animals, dogs and cats) and a shift manager at a pet store where I was a pet specialist, dog groomer, and pet nutritionalist. I have experience with fish, dogs, cats, pocket pets (hamsters, rats, mice, Guinea pigs, rabbits ect.), reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, arachnids. I have certifications in pet grooming, animal body language, and pet care. Formerly a fear certified pet groomer (not activity grooming anymore but I plan to get that back). Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns you may have. I’m going to school full time all online so when pet sitting I am able to take my course work with me while I take care of your pets. I will follow all instructions, I have slip leads that I will use over the collars so that way if anything happens during walks outside there’ll be extra protection. I will pick up after your dog. Make sure water is available 24/7 and make sure feeding schedules are on time. I can also take care of exotic pets, fish, and I have an amazing green thumb! So even your plants will get the best care.

About: Hi! I'm Novalee (legal name Brooke), and if your dog loves having friends, being outside, playing until they're tired and then crashing on the couch at the end of the day, they'll probably fit right in here. I work from home, so your dog gets plenty of company, attention and time to play throughout the day. What a day here looks like: When the weather is nice, you'll usually find us outside. I often bring my work into the backyard while the dogs run, play fetch, chase their friends or stretch out in the shade. Our approximately 50' × 60' backyard is fully enclosed by a 5' fence with plenty of shade and room to run, and outdoor time is always supervised. On hotter days, we rotate between outdoor play and cooling down inside. Rainy days mean finding breaks in the weather to get outside, followed by muddy-paw cleanups, indoor play and couch time. By evening, it's usually dogs sprawled across the couch and dog beds, completely tuckered out while we all wind down together. Their routine comes with them: I want your dog's stay to feel as familiar as possible, so I follow their normal feeding schedule, medications, supplements, sleeping preferences and home routines. Owners provide their dog's regular food and treats so there are no unexpected diet changes during their stay. If they're used to a kennel, we'll continue that. If they're a couch sleeper, the couch is fair game. If they normally sleep near their people, their bed can go beside mine. Beds, blankets, toys and other comfort items from home are always encouraged. You'll get updates: I know how hard it can be to leave your animals behind, so I send photos and videos frequently. You'll get to see your dog playing with friends, hanging out with me, napping or completely crashed after a full day of fun. Safety & good fits: Every new boarding client starts with a meet & greet so we can make sure your dog is comfortable with my home, pets and environment before their first stay. Dogs are always supervised outside, meals are fed separately and supervised, and I have indoor and outdoor cameras, gates and separate spaces available when someone needs a break from the group. Because this is a social, multi-pet home, boarding dogs need to safely coexist with other dogs and cats. Shy dogs, seniors, puppies and high-energy dogs are all welcome as long as our home is a good fit for their individual needs. Well-behaved leash walkers can also enjoy walks around our village upon request. A little about me: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and pet care is now part of my everyday life too. I offer dog walking, pet sitting, daycare and boarding, along with having experience volunteering with rescues. I'm comfortable with everything from playful puppies and high-energy dogs to seniors who would rather spend the afternoon napping. I also have experience with fearful dogs, mild separation and storm anxiety, oral medications, supplements and insulin injections. Most importantly, I want your dog to feel like part of our household while they're here. We play hard during the day, slow down together at night and keep the routines that help them feel at home. I woke from home and have open availability and can spend all day and night with your pups. Send me a booking request to schedule a meet and greet. *I can kennel for the safety of your pets if needed during times I'm away from home on short trips. *I can carry over rules you have in place at your home to mine. Examples: Sleeping in kennel, not jumping on furniture, etc. *I'm vet trained in administering oral, topical, and vaccinations when needed. Example: Diabetic Insulin Shots. *If your pet has storm anxiety, we will camp out in the bathroom with soothing music until the storm passes. *I will not leave dogs unsupervised while playing outside, or with other pets.

About: From since before I can remember, I've always loved animals. As a kid I wanted to a dog in the worst way but we never had the room. When I was 10, our first family dog showed up under the Christmas tree and I was hooked. There have been few times in my life where I haven't had a dog to take care of. I've worked in a vet office, an animal rescue, and have helped take care of dogs for friends and family when they go out of town. I currently work part-time so I have the flexibility to provide your furbaby with the best care. Daily walks and play time are already built into our daily routine and your pup can join in on the fun! I have a very large fenced in yard and live on a dead end road so traffic is minimal around our home. Our two dogs are very friendly and love to have visits from other dog friends. Our home is large enough that a separate space can be created for your pup if they feel overwhelmed or just need some quiet time. A crate can also be utilized if needed.

About: I’ve grown up having 3 dogs my entire life, as well as cats. Since I was 16, I’ve been housesitting for my aunt for at least a week out of every year. Which requires taking care of 5 dogs, 3 cats, chickens, mice, sugar gliders, a parakeet, fish, and turtles. 2 of the dogs required medication multiple times a day so I have experience with that as well. I currently work every 3rd day, which leaves 5 days out of the week completely available to come by and walk your dog or stop in and feed animals. I have experience walking dogs on leashes as well as if I stop by and let them go potty I have no issue picking up after dogs as well. I will make sure they’re fed and safely put up if need be before leaving. I will also be sure to send plenty of pictures and updates!

About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from energetic puppies to large, strong dogs and older pets needing a gentler pace and I’m completely comfortable adapting to each one’s needs. Over time, I’ve learned how important consistency, patience, and understanding behavior are, whether that means handling high-energy walks, reinforcing routines, or helping a nervous dog feel at ease. What sets me apart is that I don’t just walk or check in and leave—I take the time to build trust, give them attention, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care and pet sitting fit seamlessly into my schedule, allowing me to be flexible and dependable for both regular visits and last-minute needs. With more availability during the current season and upcoming summer, I’m able to offer consistent care, longer visits, and more time for walks, play, and attention. This flexibility benefits clients by ensuring their pets maintain a stable routine, get extra exercise, and receive reliable, attentive care while they’re away, especially during busy travel months. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions closely, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well. I’m respectful of your space, dependable, and treat your home and pets with the same care I give my own. When pet sitting, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep things stress-free. This typically includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, walks or litter box care, playtime or companionship, and any medications if needed. I also do quick check-ins around the home (like making sure everything is secure) and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep everything as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for years! Being from a small town, lots of friends and neighbors have trusted me to look after their dogs and cats while away on vacations. On top of this, I currently work as a full time nanny, which has taught me so many things such as reliability and responsibility- characteristics that directly translate to pet care. I am available for pet care on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays during the early mornings (before 10:00 a.m.) and again after 6:00 p.m. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am available after 3:00 p.m. I also have open availability all day on weekends, which allows me to provide flexible care for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and other pet care needs. For the most part I can be pretty flexible, so don’t hesitate to message me with specifics. When caring for a pet in a clients home, I feel it is most important to treat their home with respect and prioritize pet happiness!!

About: I have been taking care of animals most of my life. I started dog sitting/walking when I was 14. Many people have relied on me to care for their animals. I am gentle and loving, but I am strong enough to not allow dogs to drag me down the road. I am currently unemployed, and I am not starting school until the fall. This has given me a lot of free time, so I thought this would be a fun way to get some exercise and make some money on the side. As well as dog-sitting, I started babysitting at 14. I learned a lot of patience because of that. So when I care for my dog, or others, I treat that animal with as much patience and love as I would a child.

About: I was such an animal person when I was younger I would always watch dogs from the age of 10 and go on walks while people were at work, then when I got older and had my own car I started dog sitting at friends and neighbors houses, I ended up getting a job at a dog daycare place because of my love for animals! I am only working part time at a dog daycare facility so I have lots of time to play with your dogs and give them plenty of attention Giving your dog all of my attention while I at your place, watching them outside if you have a fenced off backyard or keeping them close by if you do not! Dogs love attention and I love giving it to them

About: I have had a ton of pets in my life, including my current dog Fred. I am trusted with pet sitting for my neighbors and enjoy it. I work part-time but will definitely be at your place as much as needed. I am free every night past 9pm, so no worries about overnight stays. I can easily crate your dogs if needed. I love to sit and pet my dog for hours on end, so your animal will get all the attention they want.

About: My name is Ashley, I've loved pets and have had them my whole life. I worked as veterinarian assistant for many years. Pets become family and deserve to be treated like family, I'd be happy to give them that love and attention while you’re away. I have done house sitting and dog walking in the past for clients. It's so rewarding! I also have experience administering medications, giving injections and other medical treatments, as well as caring for special needs pets. I currently work a full time job during the week. My weekly work schedule is from 7am-3pm. I am off on Saturday and Sundays My pets are very spoiled and have many of their own dog beds and of course lots of snacks! I can continue the routine with your pets as they are use to.

About: I’ve had very many different types of dogs in our family through the years. I’ve raised dogs from 6 weeks old to senior. I have experience with giving dogs medicine and following special meal schedules. I have stayed over with dogs and cats for family and friends while they were on vacation, etc. for 20+ years. I absolutely love all animals and promise to love yours too! This is my only source of employment so I can be really flexible and accommodating to your needs and your pet’s needs. Whether it be for potty breaks, taking your pet for a walk, abiding by food/medication schedules, or extended stays. I am available to sit in your home to keep your pet feeling as comfortable and safe as possible. I am familiar with building trust with dogs as well. If you don’t need a daily/nightly sitter, you can count on me to potty your dog at a minimum of every 4 hours.

About: I have owned a dog since I could remember, every time I see a dog, my head goes out the window because I am such a dog lover. I will not only treat your dog like a pet, but like a member of the family, as he/she is a member. I will walk your dog, feed, in-home visits, etc. It would be an honor to be able to be around dogs all day. I would love the opportunity to keep your fur babies safe, healthy and having fun throughout the day. I have plenty of experience raising a dog in the family and I will treat your dog like my own family dog. You can ensure that you can put your fur babies trust in me.

About: I would say what sets me apart is I’ve had special training incase of any type of emergency or mishap. I am a very forgiving person also. My schedule is fairy open so I have time to fit most a lot of things in. One of which is taking care of animals I most walk them at the park or play with animals in my house. My home can fit 1-2 dogs or 3 cats at a time
