Dog Walkers in Chatham, IL

“Kristina is fantastic! Always takes great care of my dog whenever I can’t be there. I feel as though she treats my dog like her own and cares about her. It is clear she has a true love for animals.”

“We have had Chelsea in our lives for over a year. She has been with us for our fostering and a recent adoption of another kitty. We have a total of 6 pets (1 dog and 5 kitties) she looks after when we are on vacation. During the week, she comes over 3 times a week to walk our lab. She is definitely an adopted member of our family. Our lab goes flying through the house when she hears the front door unlock and several of our cats will even come running. Everyone in our house loves Chelsea. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her not only as a sitter, but as a person. You will not be disappointed with the care and love she gives your furbabies.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 5 years. This and caring for my own dog has taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention are when it comes to pet care. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and understand that every dog has different needs. I make it a priority to keep owners updated and reassured! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention and care that they need! I will be completely transparent with my schedule, while also making sure that your dog is a priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks while also respecting the owner’s instructions and household rules. During walks, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes, staying aware of surroundings, and making sure pets are comfortable and hydrated. I always treat clients’ homes with respect, keep the environment clean, and provide updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands!

“Amanda is amazing with all my animals!”

About: Hello! I'm a mother of 3 human kiddos and 1 low-key 3 year old dog! I've raised chickens and dairy goats, dogs and cats for years, so I definitely have my experience of large and small animal care. We’re homeschoolers, so are home most all day. I love taking energizing walks- so if you have an active dog, I'm the partner for her! For in-home care, I have 2 acres of yard, a long lane, and a wooded park at the end of the lane for lots of nature and walking! My yard is not fenced, so your dog will always be on-leash with me. If your dog loves to sniff in the leaves and loves his dose of nature, this is the place! There is lots to discover in the park behind us! We’re home all day except for driving to dance lessons. So your pup will have plenty of attention! This is the place for love and affection and lots of walks. Your dog will be kenneled at night, and then out for a potty and walk first thing in the morning. They’ll be out of the kennel for day time, a part of our daily activities, unless we leave the house, and then they’ll be kenneled. We’ll take them out for walks and leashed play several times/ day.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for over 15 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, patient, and great at reading animal behavior, whether that means giving energetic dogs plenty of exercise or providing calm, gentle care for seniors or anxious pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work part-time and set my own schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and accommodating to my clients’ needs. I’m able to adjust my availability for walks, drop-ins, or extended care, including weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize clear communication to ensure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I have a fenced-in yard and prioritize a calm, safe environment for all pets in my care. I have two cats who are kept comfortably separated with their own space when dogs are visiting, as I understand transitions can be challenging. I’m very mindful of introductions, happy to crate dogs if needed, and always follow owner preferences and routines to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for.

“Laura is so kind and patient with our nervous dog. She always provides feedback about any concerns and is very responsive and communicative when scheduling and timing out visits.”

“Samantha was wonderful! Aldo was well looked after during my vacation. She went above and beyond to make sure he was well exercised and had plenty of fun while I was gone.”

About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life. I have been volunteering at a local humane society since the age of seven. I take care of all of my family and friends’ dogs while they are away on vacation. Pet care will be my summer job! When I am not on vacation myself, I will be available. I am incredibly flexible. I can stay at your home or come and go as your pet needs! I have a fenced in yard and four dogs of my own. I am no stranger to cleaning up messes or using a lint roller before I leave the house.

About: I’ve had a few dogs growing up and I’ve been around plenty. I enjoy taking care of animals and giving them company. Please reach out with any questions or concerns, I’m more than willing to communicate! I’m working part time so I have plenty of availability to take care of pets! I’m more than willing to communicate and negotiate scheduling. I have a fenced in backyard with only a cat at the moment. My cat is harmless and very gentle. Everyone else in the home loves animals and doesn’t mind a furry friend around.

“Caylin is always amazing and does a great job!!”

About: I have had pets my whole life! I have experience with cats, dogs, horses, chickens, fish, frogs, turtles, and small furry critters such as hamsters and rabbits. I Have cared for new born puppies and kittens when the mother was not able and elderly pets that need a little extra love. Pets that are very energetic or relaxed. Pets that are having a hard time medically and need fluids or pain medications. I have cared for wounded animals and healthy ones. I'm available most days during work hours. When your fur baby needs love and care during the day while you are away I can be there for pets, walks, snacks, medications, a simple check in and more. Every animal is it's own self and all need different care. When pet sitting while friends or family are at work or on trips I always make sure the pet has a good long session of play, affection, walk or forms of exercise, clean and full water and food dishes. Check for any accidents that need cleaned up or litter boxes that need tending. Then always be sure to double check the yard and home locks are secure before leaving.

“Laurie is an excellent person with whom to entrust your dog. She has a confident yet easy disposition that is comforting. She consistently communicated all I wanted to know regarding her time with my dog. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 15 and love to play with and walk dogs of all kinds! Since I have a dog of my own I can only come to your house to sit but your dog will be in the comfort of their own home while I take care of them. I just quit my restaurant job and am looking for new ways to make money for the summer and beyond, so since I love dogs so much I figured this would be perfect. That being said I’m pretty much free all the time now. I will always make sure your dog does their business when I let them out and take them for walks and make sure they have a good time doing it. And when I house sit I will make sure they’re in the same type of environment as when you’re home with them.

About: I have experience taking care of a variety of different dogs. My parents as well as my friends consider me to be responsible and therefore capable of providing their pets love and attention while they are away from home. I take college courses online so I can be readily available at anytime you need pet services. If I am not available, I will let you know a ahead of time. All of the dogs I have cared for in the past have had very different requirements in terms of their needs. Let me know how to best care for your pets and I can easily adapt.

About: I have always loved animals since I was little, and they have always seem drawn to me. My wife and I currently have 3 dogs and a cat at home, and they are family. I have experience with all different types of dogs, and cats as well since I was a kid. I will treat your animals just as I treat mine at home. I watch my toddler son full-time during the week. However, he is very familiar and comfortable with dogs because was have 3 at home. I am happy to try to accommodate different times of the day for the week and weekend. I treat my animals at home like the fur babies that they are! They love to be let outside to run around and play in our back yard for awhile. I also give them walks every so often, and they don’t ever miss a meal!

About: Most of my life I have had pets. In January of 22, ago our beautiful black cat died, and I am missing the companionship immensely. We travel frequently, so we have decided to remain petless for the time being. I would love to give the same love to your pet as I gave to our Judo. I am retired, so my availability is frequent and flexible except when traveling. I can do drop ins or provide overnight care. May also consider providing care in our home. We kept our cats indoors only, but we have a great screened in deck where they could watch the birds and squirrels. If in your home, I would prefer indoor only to avoid worry. I love walking, so if I am dog sitting, they would get plenty of exercise!!

About: Hello! I’m 20 years old and a lifelong animal lover who’d love to offer friendly and trustworthy care. All my life I’ve had a sweet spot for animals, I have a furry friend of my own I’ve recently adopted almost a year ago now. I provide safe and engaging walks with lots of attention. Growing up I have always been around animals, my grandma currently has a senior dog (cocker spaniel) so I have some experience with administering medication. Larger dogs are no problem for me. I’m currently looking for something fun and active to fulfill my time with, I’d love to be a resource for you and your pet! I’m currently free in the mornings and afternoons to care for and walk your pups! I’m looking for fun things to fill my day with. I provide attentive care by ensuring feeding, playtime, comfort, and a clean stress-free environment. While on walks I will be sure to keep them active and safe.
