Dog Walkers in Covell, IL

About: Hi pet owners of Bloomington/Normal!! A little bit about my experience, I’ve had large and small dogs all my life. I have took care of cats as well! I have nearly three years of experience as a home-health aid/caregiver for our local elderly, where I also walked, picked up after, snuggled and played with many clients pets! I am comfortable administering oral medication to dogs/cats and comfortable with pets of any size. I’m full-time at home, so plenty of time to give extra care and attention to your furry loved one. Personal hobbies are baking, doing puzzles, learning new recipes, walking around different parks, painting, doodling, and binging movies/tv shows! Available every day of the week besides midday Sundays! I have reliable transportation (my personal vehicle) for travel to clients homes for sitting and walking, as well as taking dogs to parks to play. I can allow one/two dogs inside of my home. My dog only eats when she is hungry, so I ensure her food and water bowls are never empty. I will follow clients care plan/requests for how your pets are fed. I have one sweet, medium sized 6 year old female dog at home!

“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: Hi, I’m Cassie and I’m here to fill all of your pet care needs! As a pet owner myself, 2 cats and a GSD, I know how hard it is to leave your pets behind when you travel or are simply in a busy season. I struggle with it myself. When you are away, your pets deserve attention, playtime, cuddles, and a normal routine right in their own home, where they feel safest. As a Bloomington-Normal native, I grew up in the country with all sorts of pets. In addition to our family cats and dogs I also cared for chickens and horses. My mother was a science teacher and every summer we would bring home the animals from her classroom: birds, rabbits, hamsters, and a tarantula. I learned very young not all pets are created the same, and an individualized approach to care was not only respectful of the pet, but also required for their safety. I have cared for pets in all stages of life from puppy/kitten through terminal cancer support in senior years. I adhere to the essential laws of pet happiness: 1) Food must appear on time every day. 2) Walks must include maximum sniffing time and end with belly rubs. 3) Playtime is serious business. 4) Cuddles are required on any day ending in “Y” unless alone time is signaled for. In all seriousness, I provide dependable services designed to keep your pets, safe, happy, and engaged while also providing you with peace of mind that your furry children are well cared for while you are away. While visiting your home, I am respectful of your property, your provided guidelines, and the trust you have placed in me to care for your pet. I have schedule flexibility and can work with your household schedule for walking, sitting, or drop in care. Requested information about your pet PRIOR TO ACCEPTING a booking: Please let me know the breed, age, living status (indoor vs outdoor pet), and medical needs of your pet. In addition, I would like to know if your pet has a history of reactivity or aggression to any of the following: food, toys, other animals, weather, etc.. I will request a meet and greet prior to providing services to ensure I am a good fit for you and your furry child. I currently work from home, and have schedule flexibility to work around your household schedule for pet care. Drop in care and walking services can be provided daily. In-home care may also be provided daily, depending on scheduling and the ability for me to work from your location. I have a privacy fenced in yard making potty time easy and stress free. My home is not on a main street, making it a quiet environment for your pet. I also have one playful dog who can keep your pup company. I have crates of all sizes, and can easily crate your dog if crate training is what you practice at home. I have extra leashes for walks and plenty of toys to go around. Since I work from home, your pet will be with me a majority of the day. They will have maximum 4 hours a day alone while with me. Feeding and medication schedules will be adhered too. I have extra bowls and slow feeders for use as well.

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: We were never able to have pets growing up, but I have been watching my neighbors dogs since I was a little kid. And since it's not the right time in our life to have our own dog, this is a perfect way to get that fix! I'm a firefighter, so I work every 3rd day. So my schedule is an oddball. If you also have an odd schedule, it might work out perfectly! For my job, I'm always going into people's homes and they trust me when they are in need. I will take that same level of trust to this job for your pets!

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’ve been caring for dogs of all kinds since I was around 10 years old, and for the past year I’ve consistently dog walked and dog sat for multiple families. I’ve also had my own dog for 7 years, so I understand the daily care, attention, and responsibility pets need. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I always make sure each dog gets the exercise, routine, and care they deserve. Whether it’s long walks, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m a part-time dog walker and student, looking to fill my summer with wagging tails, fresh air, and more furry adventures! I have lots of free time during the week, so I’m very flexible. The pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow any given instructions and take time to build trust with every pet. I keep their water fresh, clean up any messes, and make sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable at all times.

About: Have had dogs in my life for 30 years. Dog owner myself, big on walks, outdoor play and snacks for the puppies! Happy to be around dogs and cats I take my own dog on 2 walks a day and play daily so I’d like to help others who have a busy schedule as I’ve had to deal with others helping me. Pet care is top priority, want to be respect of owners needs but love to go above and beyond for all pets. Love taking dogs on walks and spending time outside with them or playing inside!

About: From a young age, before 10 years old, family and friends alike had trusted me to care for their pets on long vacations or just a weekend getaway! I have cared for plenty of different animals including, horses, dogs, fish, cats, and nothing really turns me away. I have experience with both older british shorthairs and golden retrievers, to the young maine coons and golden doodle puppies. I have also taken on fostering cats for a humane society during the high kitten season. I am not afraid of giving medications or animals who may have attitude issues. It is important to me that I pay the upmost attention to a change in pets disposition and always keep the owner updated. My goal is always never put an animal in harms way or in a situation to fail! I currently have free time all the time! I am not set to a rigorous schedule and can be available whatever time is most convenient for you. I can do early morning, middle of the day or even later into the night. I have a fenced in backyard with a very sweet and playful golden doodle named Walter. it’s small enough to keep an eye on everyone and still enjoy being outside!

“KaDee walked and took care of our fur baby for three days. She was amazing, loved the pics and messages on how he was doing. Will definetly recommend her to others and request her again!!!”

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.

“Corette took excellent care of Gus today when he had a change in his usual demeanor and was sick. She waited at home with him until I could meet her and take him to the vet.”

Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets and I can watch animals at my house or stop in to yours to take care of your beloved pets! I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, ferrets, rats, mice, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, hedgehogs, lizards, and fish! I work as a nurse but still have plenty of time to take care of your beloved pets whether in my home or yours and will give them plenty of attention!

I can watch your small animals at my house since I have a room designated for small animals since I own two ferrets! I have 3 sweet kitties who get along great with dogs and other cats!

About: Hi there! I’m a college student and lifelong animal lover who’s grown up surrounded by all kinds of pets. I spent my whole life on my family’s farm, where I helped care for everything from dogs, cats to livestock. Currently, I work at a dog boarding and daycare facility, where I get to spend my days caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Between that experience and years of helping friends and neighbors with pet sitting, I’ve learned how to make every animal feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their people are away. At home, I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I completely understand how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your pets. My goal is always to treat your pets like my own. I currently offer house-sitting, drop-in visits, and dog-walking, and I’m happy to tailor each visit to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s long walks, cuddle time, or just keeping their feeding schedule consistent, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of while you’re gone. I’m a college student at Illinois State University and work part-time at a dog daycare and boarding facility. My schedule is flexible, and I have plenty of availability throughout the week and on weekends for house sitting, walks, or drop-in visits. I will keep my eye on your pet and make sure they are as safe as possible under my watch. I will give them comfort when in need.

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.

“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 :)”
