Dog Walkers in Channahon, IL

“Erica has been so patient and accommodating to me and my sweet pup. Penny takes time to warm up to people and Erica went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable (bringing her treats, playing from a distance prior to walk, etc.) I definitely recommend her! Penny is beyond excited when she sees Erica now !”

About: I have more than 4 decades of experience loving and spoiling dogs, including seniors, puppies, and those who have separation anxiety. I understand every animal is unique and work hard to get to know each pet well so I can provide the best care possible. I am comfortable administering eye/ear drops and oral medication. If you have a puppy, I am happy to reinforce potty training and basic skills with a positive and patient approach. I guarantee your fur babies will be cared for as if they were my own! Please note: I cannot accept any assignments where there is a snake in the home. I am a retired teacher with a flexible schedule. I am open to caring for pets as much as possible both weekdays and on weekends. Safety is my number one priority! I will make sure your dog is comfortable and safe according to your instructions before finishing the assignment, and will make sure to keep you posted with photos so you will not be worried.

“Jennifer was great! Riley loved her! He came back from his walk and crashed just as I wanted him to do. She sent me a picture during the walk and I could see in his face that he was happy. Jennifer is very personable and we will definitely call her again in the future!”

“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: Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge dog lover. I was raised with a dog and went on to get a dog of my own. A sheltie. He was just 8 weeks old. I had the greatest experience training and raising him. He was my best friend and buddy. He unfortunately passed away at the age of 12. I have a high level of love and compassion for dogs as well as other animals. I am a very patient and love to go on walks, play and cuddle. I have two teenage girls who visit and are just as much a dog lover as myself. I do not work outside the home and have the time and attention to give to your best friend. I live in a quiet and dog friendly neighborhood offering comfortable accommodations. I’m happy to share anymore information you would like

“This is our second time using Katharine and she’s just great. Our dog loves her (can be weary of new people) our cats come out to see her when she’s in our house. I feel completely safe leaving keys and the garage code with her. If you are new to Rover and need a sitter she’s amazing! Thanks again Katharine!”

About: Hi there! My name is Allison and I’m a labor and delivery nurse in the Chicagoland area. Where to begin...I have a Goldendoodle named Delilah and have experience not only caring for my own pup but also pet sitting for families with dogs of many different breeds and ages (Pitbull puppy, senior German Shephard, adult King Charles, etc.). I absolutely love taking pups on walks, playing fetch or just hanging out with them! I am more than happy to adjust to all types of different pups needs whether it be with regard to medication administration or high energy levels - I would be more than happy to accommodate! I would love to share more about my experience or provide references! Can't wait to hear from you!

“Holly was great! Her communication prior to our trip was very much appreciated with expected bad weather. Our dogs are a bit stubborn with their routine and she was very flexible to make sure they got their morning walk before storms hit. She made us feel very confident that they would be in good hands while we were out of town.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs through personal pet sitting, including regularly watching my grandmother’s 8-year-old pomapoo when she travels. I’m responsible for feeding, walks, potty breaks, companionship, and following her routine to keep her comfortable while she’s away. I also have daily hands-on experience caring for my own one-year-old Shih Tzu, including walks, feeding, and basic care. Additionally, I’ve taken a veterinary science class where I learned about animal behavior, safety, and proper care. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits on weekdays and Saturdays from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and on Sundays after 2:00 PM. I’m happy to be flexible when possible to meet your pet’s needs. I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I always follow your instructions closely, make sure doors and gates are secure, and use safe leash-handling at all times. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities during walks and drop-in visits.

About: I have been taking care of the pets of friends and family for years, ranging from dog-walking to week-long pet sitting. Experience with a wide range of breeds and ages. I am a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule, so I can take care of animals pretty much any time during days when I am not subbing. For sitting at other’s’ home, I try and keep the pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible! I prefer sitting in other’s’ homes just to keep things simple for the furry babies.

“Very nice walker”

About: I have owned pets my entire life. (Dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, birds, guinea pigs) My daughter has a Bearded Dragon in which I have become fond of. I am very compassionate and feel a special connection with animals. In previous work situations, I have made great dog friends, along with the family, that remain to this day. I take every opportunity to help an animal in need. Feeding and caring for orphaned chipmunks, rescuing turtles from vehicle demise, helping a mother duck and her ducklings cross a busy road, offering baby raccoons a way out with boards, as to be free from hot dumpsters, etc. Having pets most my life and being on the go, I understand the importance of loving pet care. As an active, recent retiree from special education, I am now available to be more interactive with animals. I do have a 7 lb. Maltese that may occasionally join me for a stroll. Being so small, she can either walk or go in her carrier, depending on the situation. I travel sometimes so this opportunity offers the best of all my worlds, people, pets & places. I care for pets as though a child..Love and patience. I would like to focus my services in my local area as to be more available.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats and house sat for my friends and family for the past 15 years. I enjoy doing it and take pride in doing an excellent job I work full time from home. I would have plenty of time to drop in for a walk or play time, would love to have pups at my home for day care and am open to house sitting opportunities as well. I live in a dog friendly community with a dog park right near by and plenty of walking trails. Would love to play with your fur baby and take them for daily walks. Making sure they are happy and taken care of when you can’t be there.

About: Hi nice to meet you all! I started doing Rover because I use to work in vet med and have missed getting to work with animals and their owners. I love working with animals and greatly enjoy the time I spend with them. I do work full time so I do Rover on my off days and before/after my full time job. I have experience caring for not only dogs and cats but small pets also(this includes parrots, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats, mice, gerbils). I am always available to answer questions to pet parents about how their pet is doing in my care, and willing to accommodate additional care instructions as well. While your pet is in my care you will receive a Rover card from each visit/stay with photos provided. I am trained in pet CPR and have experience with senior pets and any medication needs that your pet may have. I am also experienced with shy pets as well and will always allow your pet to take their time to get to know me and warm up to me. My number one goal is that your pet is comfortable, happy and healthy while in my care. I do require a meet and greet to ensure that your pet is comfortable with me and a good fit as well. House Sitting. I have recently reopened up house sitting services in your home. I am available each day to ensure your pets and home are taken care. walks if asked for by the owner(no additional charge for these!), play time, food and water checks and any medications administered if needed. Small Pet Care I also have experience caring for small pets and birds if you need your small furry or feathered ones looked after while you are away. I have experience with birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats and mice. Care for these guys will include food and water checks, attention and if needed a spot clean of their cage as well, along with any medications needed if these are required. Boarding/Day Care I have just opened up boarding and daycare(daycare only on select days when I am not working my full time job). Boarding requirements include any dog under 35lbs due to having cats that can be skittish around larger dogs. Your dog must get along with cats and small animals and be okay with being home alone for a few hours a day. Up to date on vaccines and a trial visit will be required to ensure your dog is a good fit to stay with us. Dog Training. I am currently finishing a course through Good Pup offered by Rover and am so excited to be offering training to existing and new clients once I complete my certification! I do work full time but I do have availability before and after work to care for pets and am available on my off days as well for pet care. I will always ensure to respect your home and ensure it is in the same condition as when you left your pet in my care.

About: I've taken care of pets (dogs, cats, hamsters, birds) since I was young. Friends and family have been relying on me to care for their pets. I also have a cat of my own that I adopted. I'm currently work from home so I can keep your pups and kitties company while you're away. I'm not available to board as my home is a single cat home. I can keep your pets company and walk your dog during the time you're gone. I love to play with dogs and cats and can keep them entertained easily.
