Dog Walkers in Cooksville, IL

About: Welcome to my page! My passion is spreading the love, and we do that by being loving animal owners ourselves. I have been a caregiver for 25 years and have experience with animals small to large, hedgehog to horse. We love them all! My home is a Safe Haven for all or we come by your house where animals feel most at home. We enjoy caring for a variety of animals and sharing toys, walks, and of course belly rubs. It really gives us a happy boost so we seek it out often. Our home is an isolated farm house with plenty of roaming room, no electric fences or shock collars here. Just one on one attention. We are a house of many cards, actually animals. We have two dogs, 4 fish, 60 birds including chickens, Guinea fowl, and ducks. We’ve been blessed with the opportunity to help rescue and release some back yard birds like doves and finches. We really do have a niche for this! I'm currently a stay at home mom of kids and animals. During the day I’m available to come by and say hi, or you can drop off and pick up around your work schedule. We live in an isolated area in the country(only 3 neighbors within a mile). No fence but we do have a lead if needed and we are always outside with our puppy playing and running. Animals are allowed to sleep on the floors or in my bed. We do have crates when necessary and we only give pure freeze dried liver as treats.

About: Fur babies are my life … No literally! 🤗 I’m a Veterinarian Assistant so caring for your pet is literally what I do, what I love.🥰 I do pick ups and drop offs !! I work in VETMED at a local Veterinary clinic part time . So that gives me tons of extra time during the week. I also do drop in during my work day as well. !! I have a fenced in yard and a very nice fur baby to keep your fur baby company. I do also have created if needed.

About: I do have a cat of my own and a bunny and always dog sit my family dog Capone he’s about two and an half years old! And a pitbull mix, I do have references! I can start in August mostly around 3pm until whenever! I’m very flexible with time and dog sitting or cat sitting I can do Mondays-Fridays! I always take care of my cat and bunny in the mornings and always give them my time attention after work and make sure they have fresh water and entertainment and treats!

“Finn looks forward to Danny coming and going for a walk. I have to be careful to not say Danny’s name until he is here, or I have an overly excited German Shepherd boy looking for him.”

About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was a baby and grew up visiting my grandpa’s farm in the country! My family also had cats, and I had four fish growing up! I love taking care of my family’s dog whether it be walking, exploring, or just cuddling and petting! I have had experience with all types of pets, from super energetic to ones that would sit on the couch all day long if they could! I have experience staying overnight for multiple days if needed with your pets, or dropping in a couple times a day as needed! I also love taking walks!

About: I have always had a dog in my house since I have been a kid. A house is not a home without a dog. I will treat your dog as if he/she were part of my family. I am working part time and want to spend some time with your dog. I work every other weekend as a nurse, and have some free time during the week to check in on your dog while you are away. I can provide walks, medications as needed & play time for your dog. I can groom your dog (if they like it), too! Looking forward to meeting him/her.

About: I’ve taken care of two cats and a dog since I was six years old. They are my life. I honestly like animals more than I like people. I’m currently working part time so I’ll be able to walk you dogs whenever! I have no trouble getting up early or taking a later walk! I always make sure my pet and their surrounding are safe and secure. I want the best for every animal and that includes your pet!

About: I believe that pets should be treated like your own family member. Exercise, affection, grooming and good nutrition are all important to a Happy pet. I've had pets all my life, both cats and dogs as well exotic animals. For the past 15 years, I've had friends, family and co-workers seek me out to care for their pets. They trust my ability and love. I can be there at anytime you need me. Thanks for your concentration and I hope to hear from you soon.

“My dog is so happy that she gets to spend time with Kaylinn!! I feel so lucky to have her helping us!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young, family and friends have allowed me to take care of them. I enjoy taking them on walks, petting them and giving the attention they deserve, and taking care of them. I will treat them just as you would and offer extended stays. For stays longer than 5 days, most I have done is a month and a half as of present, you will return to a clean home 😊 I am strong and able to keep my stability while walking dogs, am able to let them out, feed them, give baths, and offer other services for the home like my interior design skills which is another side business, that can be spoken about, if interested.

About: Love working with all types of animals, Worked in 3 years vet care experience. I have worked with special needs and geriatric animals. I have a flexible availability. I've been trained on animal behavior and animal training. I have an apartment and animals will have free roam. We would go on walks. I also do grooming, nail trim, and teeth cleaning. Good with working with behaviorally challenged pets. Like to have open communication with fur parents. Willing to text and send pictures to update them during their time away. I currently work part time and getting my masters in counseling online. I'm looking for more time to spend with animals because I miss having them in my life. Let me take care of your fur babies! I currently work in both vet care and mental health. I have a very flexible schedule during the week and have 3 days off in a row. I make sure to prioritize the routine of the pets. I will care for your home and your pets as I do my own. I will make sure everything is as minimal stress for your fur child.

About: I’ve lived in a household with pets for my entire life, so pet care comes as natural as family care to me. I’ve had dogs and cats of different colors and sizes ranging from 5-180 lbs, so I’ve learned how to accommodate for any furry family member you might need help caring for. I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends since I was in middle school. This is cats, dogs, both, and even goats at one time! I’m excited to give your pet any extra care and love it needs just like I would my own. I’m a full time student and have extra time throughout the day/week to give to your furry friend. I’m available for visits during the day or evening and some afternoons. I’m available for weekend care as well! I’m open to caring for pets in your home for visits or overnight care if you’ll be away for some time. I always make sure I’m acquainted with the pet(s) first so that I’m not a complete stranger coming into their space. I like to make sure I have clear and explicit instructions for food, medications, entry/exit procedures, etc so the pets routine stays as normal as possible!

About: I provide a caring loving environment for all dogs that I watch. I currently own 2 Boston’s and a boxer who I administer medicine too for seizures. I walk them daily and let them out hourly. I will make sure all dogs are healthy and as happy as can be when watching them. I also watch my neighbor or family friends dogs which range from sizes small to large. I don’t have as much experience with giant dogs but I would be more than willing to love them just as much as any other dog I watch! I am available during the day and night as I attended college and have classes in the mornings. I can stay as long as needed to keep them company and playful for when you return home! Contact me with any additional questions!

About: Starting from age 5 I was inseparable from my family's childhood Yorkie. Now, I love playing with our 3 year old English Cream Golden Retriever and black Dachshund. Now, in college, I'm looking for an alternative way to get my dog-time in! I currently work a part-time remote job that is very flexible. My schedule is very flexible right now, so this period is the perfect time to give Rover a chance. Especially with my golden retriever, Jack, I have learned the importance of calm confidence, especially when the dog is bigger than me. I am very comfortable crating dogs and understanding the ability to calm dogs down.

“The best dog walker you could ask for ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Malia has always been very flexible with our schedule and sudden changes. She has taken adequate initiative in communicating with us to make sure Matcha’s needs were met. We have been so very grateful to have had a dog walker as fantastic as her. She gifted our dog with true care and support! Thank you Malia!”

About: I have not only pet sit for many pets over the years, I recently started dog training for a few family member and friends dogs as well. I am earning my Masters degree in Anthrozoology and love all different species of animal. I have enjoyed training puppies and adult dogs over the years, but have pet sit for cats, hamsters and ferrets over the years. I look forward to meeting your baby! I currently go to graduate school full time, so pet sitting will allow me to gain experience in the animal field while attending school and caring for your pets. If scheduling conflicts occur, a notification will be sent I live in a townhouse that is extremely kid friendly and safe for your pets. I only take my dog outside on a leash and she stays indoors for the remainder of the day. I am comfortable crate training or crating your dog if needed, or letting them play at a dog park or outside if desired. I love to spend time playing with your pets, regardless of how long I am there. My home is very pet friendly and baby proofed for your pet if an occurrence happens where the pet is at my home.

“Great with our 3 small breed dogs, one is an anxious one that she worked with prior to scheduled dog walks. All is going well, now. We are happy to have found her :)”

“Ashley was wonderful and made herself available VERY last minute to go walk our dog. I contacted her at 11:00 and she was at the house at 12:45. She took him for a really good, long walk and he was so happy when I got home. It is always nice to come home to a dog who doesn't feel like he was cooped up all day and Ashley gave him a break he needed.”

About: I have been fortunate enough to gain years of experience working with animals in both a shelter and medical setting. I am well trained in various routes of medicine administration as a result and love every dog I meet. I just want to be able to make a difference for the pets and their families within my community. I do currently work a full time schedule as a veterinary technician, and study part time, so I generally have a rather busy schedule. I am well-disciplined, however, and manage my time around all of my commitments appropriately, and your furry friends hold a high priority for me. I can prepare for overnight duties and have flexible enough time in the mornings and evenings, and could feasibly do drop-in care over the noon hour. My weekends are generally clear! I sincerely promise to be completely respectful of your living space if I am hired to provide care for your furry little loved ones, guaranteed.
