Dog Walkers in Dillon, IL

“Katie is WONDERFUL!! Wags, my overweight beagle (who lets me live there with my cat Top!) is already showing signs of having more energy. When I come home, he is bouncing up and down to meet me. It has been a while since he had this energy; I know it’s ALL because of Katie walking Wags! Besides this, Wag’s loves Katie and didn’t give me a second look when she came for him!!!♥️♥️”

About: I am a loving dog person. I'm playful and energetic as well as fit to fill your dog's needs. I'm experienced with taking care and training of family's dogs over 15 years. Also great with all types of dogs all breeds, and animals in general. I'm available throughout most times of the night or day. I'm fit and athletic to keep up or work out your dog if need be. I understand the variety and diversity in dog breeds, their energy, and behavior so I can work with them to keep them happy and healthy. Most new dogs I meet warm up to me in just a matter of minutes. I hope you can consider me to walk, play, care, and sit for your dog. I currently have lots of time throughout the day to feed and care for your pet. I may have appts. coming up and will try to fit you in. Your pet will be in a safe environment under a watchful eye. I rarely meet any pets don't feel safe or do not like me.

“Glen is fantastic. The only walker my neighbor and I use! He responds very quickly and accommodates for us. Our dogs love him and he is very reliable.”

About: I love animals and I love exercise, so here I am combining the two. I’m excited to try something new and also help out within my community by providing a healthy and heartwarming service I work Mon through Fri 7A-330P in construction. Some weeks I will have OT and will have to reschedule/ adjust my schedule here but other than that I’m pretty flexible. I prefer waking up early to being out late- but can and will accommodate. My pets are spoiled rotten. Constant truck rides and walks, and you can always find a ball or toy that belongs to the girls(dogs). And endless twig sticks and cardboard boxes inside with some windows equipped with bird feeders for the boys(cats). The girls have all day everyday access to fenced backyard and climate controlled garage included with the best neighbors and then to the comfy couch at night. The boys indulge in a cool environment while not moving much from one spot of the couch. Extras include opened curtain scenic views along with nature noises from the tv.

About: I have been a dog lover since the day I was born! I have a BSc in Veterinary Technology, have been a US Army Veterinary Technician for 20 years working with Military and Law Enforcement working dogs and have a huge passion for canine enrichment and fitness 🐕❣️ I am a full time student pursuing my Master's in Clinical Care, but don't let that discourage you! I have excellent time management skills, and can very easily balance lifestyle and education. I am also still in the Reserves, meaning one weekend out of each month, I won't be available to hang out with your sweet fur-babies 😭 Otherwise, I am wide available! I do have 5 dogs of my own and a fully fenced yard. However, they are a solid pack and can be a little unpredictable when introducing new friends. Because of this, my main goal is to take your fur-babies on walks and get them some exercise and enrichment, rather than have them over for play time.

“Hollie was fantastic and very communicative. Jack had a great time :)”

About: I love animals of all kinds, especially dogs. I have a secret crush on baby giraffes, but that’s another story. I’m recently retired, looking forward to helping you as others have helped me. Pet care will be the main activity of the day! Being recently retired, I’m looking to fill up my time by spending it with your furry friends! I have two cats right now, although I’ve had either cats or dogs or both my entire adult life. I make sure each of them feels like she is the favorite!

About: I am a Certified Pet Sitter-Dog Walker and insured and bonded. I've been taking care of animals most of my life. I've worked with animal shelters and transport teams to help get dogs to their forever home. My schedule is flexible, and I would love to fill my free time with caring for your pets. I know we all have busy schedules and sometimes are unable to give our pets our full attention. I'd like to help you with that so your pet can get all the attention they deserve. <3 Making sure your pets stay happy, healthy and safe in my care is my number one priority. When it comes to working in a client's home, I am always respectful of their house rules and routines.

About: I've owned animals all my life. As a kid in school I had two Mastiff puppies who were with me until they were 6. As they had health issues that came on later in their life! My mom has 4 yorkies who I have lived with and taken care of one of them was just put down. I currently have a 2.5 year old German shepherd, 1.5 year old Rottweiler mix and a 7 month old German shepherd. Who love to have friends. They love all animals! I'm currently working from home so I am very flexible with times needed. I currently have a home with no fenced yard. But lots of space for dogs to play and run. I also live right around the corner from a dog park. I am currently working from home! So I have plenty of time to drop in and play with your dogs let them out. Take them for walks anything your sweet pup desires! I currently have no fenced in yard but have a lead and am always out with the dogs when let out! I also have 3 friendly dogs who all love to meet new friends and keep them company.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover since I was little. Throughout college I have done all sorts of pet/house sitting for friends, family, coworkers etc. I have house sat for a family friend that required feeding and watering horses, milking goats, reptile care, rabbit cleaning care, medicating cats/dogs if needed, you name it. I currently have a Corn Snake, a Western Plains Hognose Snake as well as a Crested Gecko. I have been a Veterinary Receptionist for over 5 and a half years now. I was also an Animal Keeper for about a year with native Illinois Wildlife (including black bears, cougars & bobcats). I am currently transitioning to being a Veterinary Assistant so I am gaining new skills weekly! Currently working a max of 30 hours at my day job as a Veterinary Assistant but recently have been working less. Typically I have Sundays and Wednesdays off during the week but sometimes get another random week day off depending on how busy we are at the clinic. My shifts can vary from 8am to 2pm; 8am to 4pm; 9am to 3pm; 9am to 5pm or even 8am to 6:30pm. The earlier I’m off during the day I am able to help after that too. Your home is their home. I will cater to your pet based on what they like or need. If they just need someone to keep them company I’m there. I will treat your space with respect and follow any instructions given. My pets are family and are treated as such so the same would go for your kiddos.

About: Hi! I have carried a passion for animals since I was little; and cared for dogs, cats, and critters since I was 10. I grew up volunteering at the local humane society. Inspired by my childhood dream to be a veterinarian, I always take special care to ensure every pet is loved and well-cared for, including those with special needs. I’m available every day of the week (and I accept same-day bookings), for overnight care at client house, walking, house visits, and drop-ins up to 3 times a day! No boarding at my place as of right now though, I’m very sorry!! I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving environment for every pet, whether in my home or yours. With years of experience handling animals of all temperaments, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs—ensuring they’re comfortable, secure, and happy. At your place, I follow your routines precisely, from medication administration to security checks. Safety is my top priority: I’m CPR certified, and have a strong understanding of animal behavior and body language so I’m always monitoring for any signs of stress or health issues. Your fur baby’s well-being comes first, customized to their personality and your preferences.
