Dog Walkers in Braidwood, IL

“My dog was super hyped during the first meet and Anthony's calm energy helped him relax. On his first walk, my dog didn't even look back to see if I was coming which is a good sign that he enjoys his company. Definitely booking future services with Anthony. Thank you for your patience and kindness!”

About: I’ve had my own dog for 6 years. I had family dogs for most of my life. I’ve also helped take care of many family members and friends pets over the years. I also volunteers with a rescue so I have experience with puppies. I’m a teacher so I will be home full time during the summer for pet sitting. I am also off work every weekend and most holidays. I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own. I also have 2 cats. My own dog is crate trained so I do have experience. All pets are allowed on the furniture and treated as members of the family.

About: I’ve worked at a vet for about a year now in the back taking care of the dogs boarding. I’ve had the training and opportunities to take care of many animals, dogs, cats rabbits and of all sizes. Love working with them. I have had dogs for as long as I could remember. I’ve always been comfortable and very responsible while taking care of animals. I am also currently in school to be a Veterinary Technician which has helped me with learning to administer meds, CPR, wound care, behavioral concerns, etc. I have also gotten a lot of experience working at a vet as well as having my own animals or watching friends/ families animals. Pet is a daily thing for me, whether it be caring for my own animals, family friends animals, or even the animals I have to care for at school. It is one of the most important things to me, being a voice for animals. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at home so it a a constant thing to make sure they’re all cared for. Feeding, walking, cleaning up after them etc. It would be the same for me taking care of a clients pet. Feeding, watering, playing or walking, or cuddles. What is best for your pet and most comfortable for them.

About: Hey there! I'm Kendall, a passionate dog walker based in Wilmington, Illinois. I currently work as a veterinary technician at VCA Aurora Animal Hospital, and have previous experience of dog walking/pet sitting. If you're in need of a caring and reliable walker for your beloved pets, you've come to the right place!

About: I've been boarding and fostering a variety of dogs since I was 18. During my fostering I've handled reclimating dogs with many different behavioral issues. I have shadowed master trainers and now I am involved in the dog show/sporting world. Rest assured if your dog has special needs--I have experience in many different areas. If your dog needs to learn training, and you want to treat it as a training session, this could be arranged. (Training will cost more) My two girls are both titled in conformation, dog trick, Canine good citizen and we are working on agility titles. I only do positive FUN training. I currently am a full time student and my classes are all online. This gives me the ultimate flexibility as far as scheduling goes. My girls get a walk at 530 am before I head to the gym. Then the couch napping commences until I return at 7 am. Once I'm back I am home all day. We go in and out at least once every few hours. I have a 1/3 acre fenced in yard. I do have dog agility equipment I set up for play time, and as many balls as they want to chase. The yard is sprayed for ticks and was fully treated upon buying the house for parasites. (I'm just a worry wort when it comes to my dogs health and safety) Inside my house is all dog/puppy friendly. I have gates to prevent going up and down stairs (this is bad for the hips of both growing pups and the elderly). I only use a steamer for floor cleaning, meaning it is 100% chemical free and sanitizes 99% (this is the packaging information! Lol) of germs. I have a doggy toy box full of goodies, to include puzzle toys. There are toddler beds that I've converted to dog beds throughout the house for the cushy naps. I donot have kennels, but I have a playpen I leave open for those that prefer the safety of a kennel. I do have two dogs myself. Both are standard poodle females. One is 5 and one is 4. They are both very well trained and love to have playmates of any age, size or gender. My girls do eat a full raw diet, no need to worry about them trying to steal food from anyone else and they are always fed in a seperate area of the house. The girls are on a monthly heartworm that includes many other parasite preventatives. They are groomed weekly and kept up to date on all vaccines. I expect any dog I board to be up to date on vaccines. There is a local vet within 15 minutes and emergency vet within 45 minutes. **I will not watch unfixed males. This is due to my females not being fixed. I can watch females in heat and young puppies (young puppies cost a bit more due to the fact I will be training if they aren't potty trained).** **If your dog is a digger DO let me know in advance so I can set up the sand box!** I'm a stay at home college student. Animals are a life long love for me. Evenings are for cuddles and homework, while daytime is play time! I care for pets according to the owners specifications. Every pet has different needs to be met--from the high energy dogs to the elderly. I do whatever makes the pet happy and provides was of mind for the owner. I am happy to provide photos at any point during a visit !

About: I grew up with puppies and rescues my whole life. I am familiar with most breeds. I love training dogs myself. I own a German Shepherd puppy myself. I understand how important proper care is to your special pup! I care for my puppy by feeding him 3 meals a day, several potty breaks, and proper crate training. I also train my puppy everyday, insure he gets exercise, and mental stimulation. Devoted to giving your pets the same care you would give them! Can offer walks during pet setting and anything the pet may need day to day!
