Dog Walkers in Carman, IL

“Julie has two golden retrievers and several cats. She takes her dogs for walks twice a day when weather permits. I have seen her walking them in the rain even though she has a fenced in backyard. Her cats are all rescued and range from 5 years to 16 years old. She plays with them all the time. I know she takes them for pet check ups with our vet. She has taken care of my cat when we go on vacation and has always given us lots of pictures and feedback on how he is doing.”

“Melissa was wonderful. My dog, Winston, is a bit nervous around new people, but he warmed up to Melissa right away. She always gave him a great walk, and was always quick to respond when I needed to book more sessions. Will definitely use again!”

About: I am the dog mom to 2 dogs (a pug, a Pomeranian/Chihuahua) and cat mom to 2 lovable cats (Siamese). I am a responsible sitter who will take great care of and love your pets because I understand how much you love them. You will be able to depend on me to take care of their needs and also give them the playful attention that they deserve. I pet sit to supplement my income from my full-time job, as I feel pet sitting is a fun and rewarding way to earn additional income. I have had a childhood dog while I was growing up, and have been a pet owner throughout my adulthood. I've been boarding dogs and doing home visits through Rover for 5 years now. I currently work from home the majority of the time so I will usually be home for the most part during boardings. I am able to fit home visits into my schedule mornings and evenings. I am home most of the time during boardings to watch your pets. I have a spacious yard for exercise and animals are allowed to make themselves at home on furniture, etc.

About: Love, caring and fun!!! My favorite thing to do is go on walks in the fresh air with dogs. I have always had a dog with breeds all over the map. My favorite breed is a husky but still love my Yorkshire terriors. 26 years of dog care. It is a pleasure having a dog to always rely on to make your day great. Your dog will feel super comfortable and you will feel safe having a reliable pet sitter. Dogs really are the best companion to have that brings an instant smile always. Count on me to always keep your dog safe. I hope to ease your mind knowing that your dog will have a good time. Can't wait to meet your fur baby. :)

“Jacob has been great. He came at the last minute to help when I was unable to walk my Toffee. Very friendly and helpful. Even gives me tips to help train my new dog. I'm greatful to have found him!”

About: Hey there, I'm Steph. It is my pleasure to spend time with any animal. I know how stressful it can be to spend time away from your pet(s), so I hope to assure you they will be in good hands with me. Any questions, please ask! Little bit of background - I was unfortunate enough to be totally knocked on my butt in March 2020 when the pandemic was starting. In my regrouping, I got into working primarily gigs and primarily on the road, basically living out of my Jeep (RIP). I wound up traveling to every state (not Hawaii) and 6 of Canada's provinces, transporting bands, gear, and most of all, animals. I am very confident in my skills as a caregiver to animals. Looking forward to meeting & greeting w your pets. For folks looking for establishing regular care, we can discuss modified rates. For my regulars (even if it's just a few times a year), I go to Costco 2-3×/month, happy to pick up whatever a client might need - this includes pharmacy. But for example, packs of 8tx of Frontline Plus for cats and any size dog are on sale for $60 this month (October 2024). I let you know about any potentially pertinent sales I spot and their price, and I'll pick up whatever if you leave me a note & cost+$5 in cash or Venmo up front. But like, if you're low on dog food or dumplings or eggs or whatever, I'm happy to pick that kinda stuff up too as long as I'm given appropriate notice. ✌️ Dogsitting is what I do for a living. I am a writer so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I'm happy to travel up to a couple hours away for shorter term sits. Most established regulars are in Muscatine, but willing to travel up to 15ish miles away. Just ask and I can see what we can set up. I love getting to know how to greet a pet, because it tells me everything I need to know about how they're doing. If I notice any off or new behaviors, I'll take note. I usually check in at the end of my visit, unless I have a question or concern. Love having little photo shoots at some point so I can send pictures and a solid summary of your pet's time w me.

“Did an amazing job!! My dog seemed very happy when she returned?”

“Samantha and her husband would walk my dog most evenings for me. I am an older retired woman so it is harder for me to get around. They are a very sweet young couple. I would highly recommend her walking service.”

About: I have been babysitting dogs and cats for almost 5 years now. I will take care of your fur babies and make them feel loved while you’re gone! I have two dogs, a corgi and boxer. I can do weekends Monday-Friday I work 8-5 but can let them out before I go to work and when I get home. Friday-Sunday I available pretty whenever needed if you need me to stay over night or just pop in and out to check in on them and let them out. I prefer if the pets are trained or there is a fenced in yard so I don’t have to worry about them running away. I will also be okay with if they need to be put on a Leash when going outside.

“Hadlea is great with with our pets. I highly recommend her for your pet needs. She is the most loving and caring pet sitter around.”

“Jada not only walks our dog on a regular basis, but also pet-sits for us. She is very responsible and does a great job! Our dog always comes back happy and tired.”

“Hunter has been great with my dog! Highly recommend!”

About: Working professionally with dogs for over 11 years. I train, walk, care, and am able to handle dogs of all ages and many temperaments. I can come to your home or they can come to mine. Dogs are my life. I currently volunteer at a shelter where I just relocated to. My schedule is wide open while I rebuild my business locally to offer quality, loving, and affordable pet care so people can have the best in life and not have to worry. I follow all owner direction regarding meals, walks, medication, and socialization. I like to walk every two to four hours for at least 30 min, and play one on one throughout the day.
