Dog Walking Bradley

About: I've helped take care of my fair share of family dogs throughout my childhood and have grown very fond of playing, caring, and overall taking care of the needs of dogs and a few senior dogs as well. I'm currently looking for any part time or Full-time pet sitting jobs available. (Ex: coming to a home periodically to walk feed and water dogs/pets, or longer term pet sitting where I stay at the owners home (overnight) to take care of pets everyday/night while owners are away for a few days/weeks.) Thanks to plenty of experience with my own pets and family pets I am very well prepared to take care of the average needs if cats, dogs, kittens/puppies, as well as senior animals/disabled pets that may need additional help and gentle care.

About: We’re happy to provide a temporary, loving, and dependable home for your pet while you’re away, giving plenty of care, attention, and affection to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home 🐾 También hablamos español. 😌 There is always someone home during the week and on weekends, allowing pets to receive consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day in a calm, supervised environment. Your pet will be able to make themselves at home inside, either in their crate if that is your preference or their own bed, there is plenty of room! When they’re ready to be outside, they’re able to roam in our big fenced in yard. We live in a great neighborhood, so walking is part of our routine too! There are no other pets in our house.

“Jeff is very good with my dog. Chandler loves walking with Jeff. I recommend Jeff if you need any help with your dog for walks, playtime or dog sitting.”

About: Hi! My name is Ruthie, and I’ve been around dogs my whole life (& have adopted my best friend of four years!) From training puppies to caring for senior dogs, I have experience with all stages of a pup’s life. I’ve also pet-sat for family dogs on and off for about two years and have had my own dogs for 8 years, so I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry family members. I’m patient, attentive, and love spending time with dogs—whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them the attention they deserve. I also have experience with basic training and can reinforce commands if needed. Every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I am currently taking online summer classes with a part time job. Pet care naturally fits into my schedule and I am happy to be flexible for your scheduling needs! I provide pet care through check-in visits and dog walking. I prioritize each pet’s routine and comfort, ensuring they feel safe and well cared for while their owner is away. Please let me know any important details about your dog or anything I should prepare in advance to help them feel as comfortable as possible.

About: Hello! I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years — including rescues, seniors, and pups with lots of energy! I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with feeding routines, meds, and special care needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I promise to keep you updated with cute pictures and messages throughout their stay. Your fur baby’s comfort and safety come first! 🐕✨ I am currently working part time. Which is Tues-Sat 4pm-11pm tho so I’m anytime free before then. & I am off every Sunday and Monday I rent a home with a fenced in backyard. I do currently have 2 dogs. (Chihuahua mixes and a heeler mix.) they are crate trained so if you’re more comfortable with them staying separated from your baby(ies) that is absolutely no problem, depending on the duration of the stay.

About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals and enjoy working with them. I’ve bathed, fed, walked, and played with the animals. I’m very trustworthy and my friends and family members rely on me with their pet care needs. I am a full time college student but I am flexible with my hours. I live 2 hours away when I’m not at school so I will go home for holiday breaks and the summer! My friends and family trust me to watch their pets and take them out on walks throughout the day. I have alot of pet experience and can do anything you ask of me!

About: Lifelong animal lover experienced in river walks, companion feedings, soothing chest rubs, treat distribution, and earning a sly cats trust. I will make sure your pets are happy, SAFE, and completely spoiled while you’re away! After a recent career shift- a friend suggested I try Rover to generate a bit of income. Bonus: an opportunity to do something I LOVE! I’m just getting started (here), but I look forward to meeting your fur family. I closely monitor outdoor time to ensure the pet is secure in the yard. I do NOT have a fence (all neighbors do). I will either clip them to the ground lead (125 lb hold), or long leash them in hand (I prefer your dog wear a harness while in my care). For their safety and security, your pet will NOT be outside without supervision. When out walking I will remain aware and assess surroundings to prepare for any triggers the dog may have and offer redirection. I will closely follow your schedule and preferences to make transition of care easier.

About: Taking care of your animal will be my number one priority. I love animals, I will be more than attentive to their needs and accommodate anything you would like. I’m available any time you need me and I will take in any animal, big, small, furry, hairless, you name it! I love them all. I’ve had animals my whole life so I know how to take care of dogs, I’ve had cats now for 5 years and kittens and it’s a handful but it has taught me so many things needed to be a perfect sitter! I love getting pets toys, and fancy food sometimes to spoil them so expect that (if it’s fone with the owner) of course. I can’t wait to meet you and your lovely pet!

About: I have been caring for a cane Corso for the past 10 years. I have three cats who I adore very much altogether. I love animals. I must stay at home mom so I’d like to start working, especially with animals. I’m currently a stay at home mom so my schedule is free an open to fur babies to walk or watch for you I’d like to be walking or watching quite often I have a fenced in yard I also have bay gates to keep out of areas when needed we have leashes and everything your pet needs to succeed

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals as long as I can remember! My parents adopted our first dog when I was only 4 years old. Tala was a Siberian husky that I took care of daily from a very young age. Throughout my childhood I grew up with medium/larger dogs such as German shepherds, huskies, pitbulls, and a Great Dane. My love for animals didn’t stop there! As a kid I regularly helped a family friend on her farm take care of wild and farm animals that she rehabbed such as bunnies, raccoons, squirrels, chickens, horses, cows, goats, etc. Now that I live on my own with my husband, we own 2 silly orange cats (4yo) and 2 dogs. Our 2 beagles, Starla(6yo) and Ellie (4yo), are ‘retired research hero’s’, meaning they were lab test animals for human medical research, they even have tattoos inside their right ears! They do great meeting new animals. But due to their life in the lab and awkward lack of learning other dogs body natural language, they require a meet and greet with any pets that plan on staying in our home just to ensure all animals clearly feel comfortable with each other. They are beyond friendly dogs that don’t know what a ‘stranger’ is and will accept love from anyone. Starla has seizures, and because of this I have plenty of experience with handling her during an episode. I would more than willing to board/take care of another pet who suffers from medical conditions! I personally know how nerve racking it is to leave our little fur babies life in the hands of another person that we hardly know. Ellie has a poultry allergy and we’ve become pretty good at checking the labels before feeding anything to her. It was quite surprising to see just how many pet items have poultry in them! I also suffer from a nut allergy, so I also know beyond animals just how dangerous it can be. You can feel more than safe trusting me with your fur babies allergies! I take all forms of special conditions very seriously. I’m currently a college student at ONU, but live in my own home that I own off campus. I do not work at this time and have very few classes that are physically on campus. I love meeting new people and animals especially. I have a fenced in yard where my beagles love to run around. While it is safely fence in, my animals are never left unattended as my animals safety is always a priority. During nice weather I love to take my dogs on walks out at Perry Farms or the Kankakee State Park. These are the places I choose for the safest and cleanest walking paths to keep my pups safe. Before walks I always check the pavement to ensure safe temperature for the little paws. I also spray my pups with Wondercides natural flea & tick repellent to further ensure safety for their health when going on walks. My house is only 1 level. The only stairs your pet would be required to climb are the ones going in and out of the house. While I do have a basement, only the cats are allowed down there. I am still new to the pet sitting world, but I am so excited!

“What a blessing James/Jim has been! Not only did he step up at the last minute to meet and walk our boys, he went above and beyond when I got a call from my 91 year old mom that my big dog was freaking out and crying to go out and we were stuck on a train! We send an SOS to Jim and he flew back to the site and took Rafa out where he had diarrhea! That would have been inside our RV if not for Jim. It is the first time we have used a dog walker rather than a sitter and it worked out great. Rafa is not always friendly but he was joyful when Jim came to walk him.”

About: I have had pets since I was very young. I have cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, and even a tortoise! Making sure that an animal is healthy, safe, and comfortable is my priority 🙂 I work from home so my schedule is fairly flexible. I can easily make adjustments to work around a schedule that works well for you and your pet. I live in a secure apartment with double doors at major exit ways. There is also a fenced yard around the building. For animals that are particularly anxious in new surroundings, I usually transform my study room into a safe haven (with cozy blankets, toys and treats galore) until your pet is more comfortable to roam around the house.

“Mooon looks forward to his walks with Mo!”

About: I truly love pets and enjoy taking care of them. I regularly care for my brother’s and my boyfriend’s dogs, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and giving lots of attention and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs! Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I’m already used to caring for dogs on a daily basis. I plan my schedule around their needs, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and relaxation. I care for pets in their home by following their routine, providing feeding, walks, playtime, attention, potty breaks and making sure they feel safe and loved.

About: Caring for animals has always been my passion! I am an experienced pet sitter, dog trainer and behaviorist. I have four dogs who are very friendly and enjoy having guests over. I have worked in pet hotels and daycares for the past 7 years where I supervise and care for large groups of dogs. This allowed me to gain valuable experience learning canine body language, socialization, and psychology. I also am experienced in administering medications and have a large fenced-in yard for your dog to run and play. My husband and I work opposite shifts so someone will almost always be home, allowing your pup to have many potty and play sessions throughout the day. I look forward to speaking with you and meeting your furbaby!

About: With over 5 years of hands-on dog watching experience, I provide more than supervision I provide stability, attentiveness, and genuine care. Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and ages. From energetic puppies who need structured activity to senior dogs who thrive on a calm, predictable pace, I understand how important it is to adapt to each dog’s individual needs. What truly sets me apart is the balance I bring between structure and affection. Dogs feel most secure when their routine stays consistent, so I make it a priority to maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible. My daily routine typically includes on-time feedings, fresh water refresh, bathroom breaks, and exercise tailored to your dog’s energy level. Whether that means long walks, active play sessions, enrichment activities, or simply relaxed companionship, I adjust based on what your dog needs that day. Beyond the basics, I focus on mental stimulation and emotional well-being. I reinforce positive behaviors, engage in interactive play, and ensure your dog has both active time and calm downtime. I work overnight shifts during the week, and I dedicate my weekends fully to pet care. This allows me to provide focused, unrushed attention from Friday through Sunday. I intentionally keep my weekend availability open for pet sitting so I can give each pet consistent, quality care without overbooking. Weekend care includes structured routines with feedings, walks, playtime, enrichment, and calm companionship tailored to your pet’s needs. I make sure their schedule stays consistent and stress-free while you’re away. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep everything as normal and stress-free as possible. Pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I prioritize maintaining their routine, respecting their space, and creating a calm, consistent presence while you’re away.

About: I recently moved to the area with my boyfriend and our 2 boys, we have 1 dog and 1 cat! They are my kids and I treat them as such and same for yours! I can provide all the love, time and attention you would ever hope for!! I grew up with many dogs of all ages and breeds, as well as plenty of cats. My history for working with dogs is very wide. Right out of high school I got a job at a doggie daycare and that was just the beginning of my journey. Since then I have; * worked in a humane society caring for dogs and cats (in good health and bad) * Worked at a different doggie daycare, in which I became the supervisor * Been a swim coach for dogs (for therapy and fun) * Hiked dogs (would hike up to 4 dogs at a time for 2 hours) * Been a clinical assistant and supervisor for a traveling vet company (referred vaccines to clients and helped hands on with the vet) * Worked as a receptionist at two different animal hospitals in Colorado I do work a lil under full time but that doesn’t take away from the care I am able to provide. My schedule is constant through out the week and frequently changes on the weekends. I work 10am to 6pm Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. As for the weekends, I typically work around 4-5 hours on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. Your pets safety and happiness is my top priority! I provide all the care and love that I would want for my kiddos. Anything I can do to make them more comfortable, I’ll do it! We do have 1 dog and 1 cat that live in the house, so I ask that any dog that comes into our home be friendly and socialized. Our cat, Midnight, does stay to himself as he is older and doesn’t want to be bothered. Trippie, our dog, is on the younger side and loves to play, but also very good at matching energies. If your dog wants to play, he’ll want to play. If they like to lay around, he’ll do the same! When it comes to my home, I live in a two bedroom apartment that’s fairly big with lots of parks close by. In the house; *lots of toys *fresh water everyday or more often if needed *large and small dog beds *first aid kit specific to their needs *one ingredient treats *allowed on furniture *can puppy proof if needed *can feed in separate rooms in need I do ask that for any dog staying in my apartment they be up to date on the following vaccines; (I will require proof) *Rabies *DA2PP *Bordetella

About: I have owned many pets over the years. I currently own a Labrador retriever who is an award-winning dock diver, a cat, and a horse. I have worked as a veterinarian technician and currently work as a nurse so I am knowledgeable about illnesses and injuries, both animal AND human! (they really aren't that much different!). I am looking to supplement my income doing something I love. I have had experience working with professional trainers. I have rescued an unknown amount of critters over the years and have either kept them, found their owners, or found them good homes. if i can keep up with my rambunctious lab, I can keep up with anybody! I will care for your fur children like they were my own! I am available afternoons, evenings, and at night for night shift workers. I am an RN and work 3 12 hour night shifts every week. I can care for your pet after work in the morning, and on my nights off in the afternoons, evenings, and even in the middle of the night if you are a night shift worker! I am unable to care for pets in my home or yours as I have my own fur critters that I have to take care of.

About: I started dog sitting when I was in high school. I got my dog when I was a freshman in college and needed a friend. Since then, I have loved dog sitting so my puppy can make more friends and I can fill up my free time! I have recently graduated college and have lots of free time in between work! I love spending my time caring for pets, and available any time of the week! I have one dog of my own that can be crated when needed, but can keep your fur baby company. I have a nice trail by my home for nice long walks!

About: Hi I’m Jane and I’m currently going to school with a major in zoology. I’ve always loved animals, so I would love to care for yours. I currently have a dog, two cats, and a crested gecko. As far as experience goes, I have been volunteering at PAWS Animal Shelter for five years working mostly with cats. I have also fostered litters of kittens for the past two summers. Even though I helped with cats at the animal shelter, and I have worked at a doggie daycare place. At my college, I also volunteered to care for animals that my school takes care of. This involved caring for terrestrial and aquatic species. I signed up for this because I need some money for college and it will also provide me with valuable experience for my major. Thank you for giving me the amazing opportunity of caring for your dog or cat because I know they are one of the family. I currently am a senior in college in Bourbonnais and I also work weekends at a doggie daycare. I love spending time with all animals. I will provide whatever care you as an owner instruct me too, but of course I look forward to giving your pet lots of love
