Dog Walkers in Downs, IL

“Renae is awesome! She took excellent care of my 7-year old dog Maggie. She got plenty of exercise and attention while I was out of town. It made leaving her much easier. Will 100% book again.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life and loved them each so much. I am experienced with a gentle heart and genuine love for animas. I’m currently home all week raising my kids and cats. I’m available anytime throughout the week to take care of your animals needs and wants! ❤️ I have a fenced in yard and can easily crate your animal inside my house. I have three friendly cats that sleep on their own level of the house at night.

“Sarah has done a great job with our Boston pups, she is very responsible and trustworthy. She is great with dogs and goes the extra mile to help you and accommodate to your schedule. I will definitely recommend her 100%!”

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.

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.

“Corette took the time to come meet our pup before walking him. She sent photos, video and update before and after! She was flexible with scheduling and we really appreciate her!!!”

About: I’m a work from home graphic designer, who is starting out on Rover that vows to care for your pet how I’d want my “fur baby” to be cared for, and feel as loved as possible while in my care. (Hope they like being talked to - my dog probably needs a break! Haha) My dog breed experience includes Shar Pei, Schnauzers, Australian Shepherds, Rottweilers, Labs, American Bully, Staffies, and Mystery Mutts of all kinds. These include dogs with special needs such as extreme diet restrictions, seizures, skin conditions, incontinence, pancreatitis, and service animals that have to adhere to training requirements when on and off leash. I am the proud pet parent to an 11 year old Lab Mix named Nugget, she is very sociable and good with other animals. (Can provide video/photo evidence with multiple other dogs if needed.) I work from home 90% of the week, and am afforded a very flexible schedule to fit in providing pet attention and care for your furry family member. In my home, I have space for the pet to either have their own area away from my dog, or to have a very eager playmate in my 11 year old lab mix. There is also a large fenced in yard, ample walking trails nearby, and constant supervision since I am a homebody. In a clients home, I have a past as a part time cleaner and am un-phased to any and all cleanliness statuses of a home. Your life is busy, and we're all just trying to get by the best we can!

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, in all shapes and sizes. Ever since I was old enough, I have been pet/dog sitting for my neighbors and family friends. Currently having a senior dog, I understand that some pets need special medication, food, etc. I am more than happy to provide whatever type of care your furry family members need to feel comfortable. I am currently taking a class at Heartland Community College and have physical therapy twice a week. The class is only in person twice a week, so I am pretty flexible with dates and times for pet sitting. I want to make sure your pets are as comfortable and happy as possible while you are away. My focus is to give them lots of love and attention, as well as provide exercise through walks and playing in the backyard.

About: Hi there, my name is Kolton! I’ve had pets my entire life and always help watch friends’ and families’ pets when I get the chance. I have experience with all ages and sizes of dogs. Our pup, Scotty, was rescued as well, with little training, so teaching him tricks is always a fun time! I have a very flexible daily schedule with the ability to work from home. This would allow me to work with your pet’s schedule and give them all of the care they are used to. Safety is very important to me when it comes to my pets. I always make sure there is nothing in reach or on the ground that would endanger them (especially for the curious puppies). At my home this means closing certain doors and keeping all food off the counters. At your home I would be sure to keep all guidelines your dogs need to ensure their safety.

About: I've taken care of all types of dogs since I was 13 years old. My household has always included two dogs. From childhood I have fed, trained, walked, groomed and loved every animal I've been lucky enough to have. From the beginning puppy stages through the extra care they've needed as seniors. I'm currently looking to make this my main priority for the summer. This means I will be available to provide all the love and attention your fur babies require. I understand how important animals are to a family. With that in mind I will care for them as if they were my own. Staying on top of their needs and following all directions.

About: I’m currently the mom of a male Yorkie. I have had dogs for 17 years, from puppies to seniors. I am familiar with all of the stages they go through as they grow. I work full time Monday through Thursday but can be available for walks or visits during my lunch break and after work. It would all depend on the requirements. I will do whatever is requested or required within reason! Also willing to get the mail, water plants, set garbage out - whatever is needed.
