Dog Walkers in Buckley, 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: Ever since I was little, I have loved animals. I grew up with at least one pet in the house since I can remember. Animal care is basically second nature to me now, and I would love to spread that care to other's pets! I currently have a part-time job, so I have plenty of time for your pets! Taking care of pets has always been the norm for me, so adding more pets to my schedule would be so fulfilling! Having my services in your own home is the best way to keep your pets calm, safe and worry-free. Everything your pet needs is right there!

About: I have loved animals of all kinds and all sizes for my entire life, i grew up on a 40 acre working farm and i have also worked as a veterinarian technician and have over 20 years experience caring for Animals of all kinds-dogs, cats, peacocks, chickens, horses, goats, rabbits, ostriches, elk, deer, and more! Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life. Living on 5 peaceful acres in the country, I spend my days surrounded by pets—my own cats, dogs, and occasional farm animals. I build my schedule around giving each pet plenty of love, attention, exercise, and rest. Whether it’s daily walks, medication administration, or simply cuddling on the couch, I make sure every animal’s needs are met consistently and lovingly. My experience as a veterinary technician taught me the importance of routine, observation, and compassionate care, which I bring to every pet I look after. Pet care isn’t just a job—it’s part of my lifestyle and passion. I prioritize safety and comfort above all else. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, secure environment on our quiet 5-acre country property, with plenty of space to explore under close supervision. All areas are pet-proofed to prevent accidents, and I closely monitor each animal’s behavior and health throughout their stay. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their routines and spaces, keeping their environment clean and safe while providing attentive, loving care. I follow all instructions carefully—whether feeding, administering medication, or handling special needs—to ensure each pet feels secure and comfortable. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I communicate openly and promptly, providing updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind that their beloved companions are in caring hands.

About: I have been a dog owner just about my whole life & have experience petsitting for family & friends when they are out of town.

I am available any time on sundays & mondays, the rest of the week I am available anytime before 3p.m before I go into work or after i get off work around midnight! When taking care of your pets, I will make sure to observe their behavior to make sure they are comfortable with me being around them. Any care instructions will be carefully followed to make sure you and your furry friend are left satisfied and happy!

About: I’ve taken care of PAWZ every since I was 10 years old. My family had four kittens around that time of age and I took the lead role into making sure they’re daily activity was met. I’ve also dog sat in the past few years while being a student on UIUC campus. I like to go for walks, car rides, or sitting on the balcony on a nice sunny day, so if your furry friend needs a pet sitter of interest please reach out to me. Im currently a student at University of Illinois UC and I work part time. Most of this time is during the day, but this is also negotiable . I love playing in and out doors with our friends in the yard or in the living room etc, while following your pet/home care instructions.

About: I own several animals which include cats, dogs, and a leopard gecko. I love animals, and I am good with feeding on time, bathroom breaks on time, and I love to spend quality time with animals! 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.

“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. I have have experience with both house and dog sitting, even for long periods of time (I've done up to 2 weeks). Cleanliness and reliability are also huge priorities for me. Hope to hear from you!

About: My pet care experience consists of having a dog throughout my childhood and adult years. I've always loved the companionship of owning a dog and also visiting or babysitting families and friends' dogs/cats. With having a dog comes a lot of responsibility and attention whether that's feeding, letting outside, physical activity, and training. I'm experienced in all of those qualities. The pet care that I will be using through the new dogs and cats I meet are the basics of giving treats, going for walks, and playing fetch or ball. Those basics are important and useful for dog caregivers because any dog would love the attention and care that you are giving them unconditionally. I'm also experienced in grooming with bathing the pet if needed. Whether that's outside with a hose and soap or inside in a bathtub. Dogs are my best friends and should be treated with love and companionship therefore I would treat the dog and make sure they are happy and comfortable but also safe and calm at all times. My schedule is very flexible and in the case of babysitting or walking a dog, I will be attentive and responsible. Since I currently have a dog at home I take her outside frequently, stay outside with her and walk around the backyard or throw a toy and play fetch or even just sit in the grass and give her belly rubs. My daily routine consists of letting my dog outside and hanging out with her off and on while also letting her have time to rest and chill by herself. My weekly routine is the same as my daily routine aside from additional car rides, pup cups, or cousin visits with other dogs. The safety, trust & Environment of the care for the pet in my home and or my client's home will consist of making sure all doors are shut when entering and exiting the home or garage. Also making sure the dog is on a leash and well equipped when walking through a neighborhood. I also have a fenced-in yard so I'm experienced with fences and the proper precautions if needed. I can easily create your dog too if needed. Also water supply and refilling the water bowl as needed and giving supplements or medicine also. Also will have the clients contact information in case of emergency.

About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. As a child, I had pet sheep, rabbits, dogs, cats, and cows. As an adult, I have always had cats. My 20 year old long hair cat just passed away in January. It was heartbreaking. I miss him dearly. We loved our guy so much. In his last 5 yrs, I spent many hours catering to his elderly issues. Medications and night yowling were issues that I happily took care of as he lived out his twilight years. I have a soft spot for all animals as they go through all stages of life :) I work from home and set my own hours, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am open to many kinds of arrangements- one time sitting, a weekly routine, daily walks, weekends, etc. I am extremely fortunate to have a flexible schedule. My teen daughter and I live in a large 4 bedroom home, so we have tons of space to accommodate furry friends who need company. We do not have a fenced in yard, but our neighborhood is great for long walks. Our neighborhood has trails through the woods and a home owner’s association that maintains the trails. We have lots of fun walking the trails. I am an avid jogger/walker. I go out everyday, regardless of the weather. I have a very active lifestyle! We recently adopted a cat, but he stays in his own area on a different level of the house. He has claimed my daughter as his and lives in her room. When dogs come to stay with us, he typically stays in his room & pups never see him, although he has made friends with some of our regularly visiting pups 😊 I have a very flexible work schedule. When I do have to be away from home for work, I am gone about 2-3 hrs at a time. My daughter is at home often and also helps with pups. She is great with animals! We both like to take frequent walks throughout the day! In my home, I have a large open floor plan with tons of windows. During the day, I like to have pups next to me in my office, but some like to lay in prime viewing area of all the windows.

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats, all of my life. I was a police officer and Sheriff for 32 years. I’ve dealt with most all animals. I love them all!! I’m currently a retired sheriff. I work part time for American Airlines about 20 hours per week in Bloomington, and working on a license to sell real estate as a part-time job in Livingston County. And I have been a police officer, since I was 18 years old. I am very trustworthy and honest. I’ve grown up around many types of animals and feel comfortable around them.
