Dog Walking in East Peoria

“Winnie loves Keri and looks for her to come. Keri communicates well and is on time. She has been a great help while I’ve been unable to walk Winnie due to a broken ankle.”

“Glen walked our dog, Gene, for about 2 weeks while I was traveling. He was super responsive and always uploaded pics each day which I always appreciated seeing. I know Gene was very happy to have someone coming by during the day and I was too. I absolutely recommend Glen and will hope to be able to use him in the future when I am out of town!”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I currently have two amazing dogs of my own — Khloe is a resilient (almost) 11-year-old who’s overcome major medical challenges, including a leg amputation and daily medication routines, and the other (Oakley) is an energetic young pup who keeps life exciting! Because of my own dogs, I’m no stranger to giving medication (including injections), working with limited mobility or vision, and supporting senior pets with the extra care they need. Whether your dog is a bouncing puppy or a gentle senior, I’ll treat them like family — with patience, playtime, and plenty of belly rubs. I’d love to help care for your furry friend while you’re away! I work second shift, so I’m available in the mornings and early afternoons to care for your pet! I also live very close to work and am able to run home on breaks to see my dogs. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure every dog gets the exercise and fresh air they need with daily walks, just like I do with my own pups. For dogs with limited mobility or who tire easily, I even have a wagon that I use to wheel them around so they can still enjoy the outdoors safely and comfortably — something I do often for my senior, three-legged dog. Inside my home, I provide a calm, structured environment. I have two crates available and can accommodate both crate-trained dogs and those who prefer to free roam. I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine and personality so I can tailor their care — whether that’s sticking to a medication schedule, providing quiet time, or making sure they have plenty of play and affection. In a client’s home, I aim to follow your routines as closely as possible to keep your pup comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. My top priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of your dog.

About: I’ve had pets since I was 4. I learned how to take care of them at a very early age. Caring and loving animals has always come naturally to me. Pet care is my full time job. I’m available mornings, afternoons and early evening hours. Everyday of the week. Including some holidays. You can always message me with any questions. I have a fenced backyard where throughout the day my pet babies are able to go out and run, play and fun playing fetch or just sunbath.

“Parker was great caring for my dog and very responsible! My dog loves her!!”

About: I grew up around animals in the house and on the farm. I watched a lot of my military friend’s pets while they’re on a deployment or at training. Looking to help other people out! I work full time but have a flexible schedule. I’m available before 8 am, can head out during my lunchtime, and available after 4 pm. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule but I am unavailable one weekend a month due to training. Never hesitate to ask! I have a house with a fenced in backyard, no other animals living with me or friends/family. Super flexible and willing to adapt to what your pet needs.

About: Even though I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and truly understand what it means to love a pet like family. Because I’ve only ever cared for my own animals, I’m the kind of person who pays close attention, follows routines carefully, and makes sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I’m patient, gentle, and always meet animals where they’re at—whether they’re shy, energetic, or somewhere in between. I’m happy to stick to your pet’s usual schedule, help with feedings, walks, playtime, and provide plenty of affection and reassurance while you’re away. I am currently in graduate school and working part time, but my time is very flexible. About every day of the week I am able to make time for pet care. In Your Home When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I always: Follow your pet’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule exactly as instructed Keep doors and gates securely closed Maintain a calm, clean environment Pay attention to any changes in behavior or appetite and communicate them right away Provide plenty of play, affection, and mental stimulation Leave your home just as I found it (or better!)

“Regan was a life saver, my walker canceled at the last minute and she was able to cover. Very quick response, good communication and very accommodating. I will definitely use her again for walks.”

“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!!!♥️♥️”

Kristi A.

“Katelyn was truly amazing for the month of May for us. Very flexible & responsive. I have a crazy puppy who has thrown up & walked in poop & she’s taken care of him like Gus was hers. I plan to use her again when we are back from our honeymoon!!!!!”

About: I am currently getting my bachelor's in animal behavior and care. I've had many species of dog from small to large as well as cats. I love all breeds and I am open minded to all animals. Even the scaly ones. I have 3 cats and a dog with ptsd from their previous owner. I work nights but am more then able to adjust my schedule in order to pet sit. I will still be sure they are fed properly, played with, and taken out as needed. I will ensure your pet is fed, walked, taken out and generally well looked after with lots of playtime. I can work with their dietary schedules and needs as well as their special care.

About: Hello! I am very passionate about dogs and will provide loving, patient care while you are away from home. I have fostered many puppies and adult dogs in my home through a dog rescue in California for 5 years, and continue to do the online work for that rescue from my home in Illinois. I have two fur babies of my own Espresso and Lucy, and our two cats mostly hang out in whatever room the dogs are not in :) We have a secure, fenced backyard with room to run. Dog cuddling and treats are a staple here, as well as walks, frequent potty breaks and playing with toys! My six year old daughter loves dogs but also respects boundaries and will leave them alone if they don’t want attention. I am prompt, professional and respond to texts/calls in a timely manner. Please contact me if you have any questions! I am a stay at home mom attending school online, so frequent potty breaks, cuddles and playtime are constantly available to them, or whatever else they might need. I have a fenced in yard and ample room to get the zoomies out. Dogs are welcome on the couch and I have a few dog beds available too.

“Mark is excellent professional, very knowledgeable. Thank you for all your expertise today”

“Finley was great with my dog, Charlie. She gives detailed updates so I know exactly what happened on their walks together to keep me at ease while away.”

About: I have worked with lots of animals including: dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens. I also have experience of giving oral medications and subcutaneous injections. I'm available all day during the weeks, and after 3pm on the weekends to watch and care for your pet. I currently work part time during the day on the weekends. I can care for your animals in their home environment so they feel safe and comfortable and stress free, and recieve lots of love and care that they need!

About: My family has had dogs my whole life! I have 2 pups of my own at home. I currently volunteer for a service dog program and have puppy raised and fostered many of the program’s dogs for an extended period of time. I customize my schedule on a weekly basis according to school and my part time job. I am a college student and I work at night 2 nights a week, so my availability should be open the majority of the day. For the days you may book with me, your pup(s) will be my priority. I can crate your dog, if needed. The time spent with your dog will vary based on your daily routine, I’ll try to match it to the best of my ability!

About: Hi! My name is Ashley. I graduated from PSU in 2021 with a BA in International Studies. I’ve had multiple pets (both cats and dogs) since childhood and am very familiar with all caretaking needs for smaller and larger breeds! (Including walking, feeding, watering, giving medicine, etc.) I love animals and want both you and them to be as comfortable with me as possible! I send plenty of photos and am always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have. I work remotely so I have availability and flexibility during the week and on weekends! My significant other also has availability to help provide assistance when needed. The both of us have volunteered at animal shelters and are excited to care for your babies :) I’m very patient and like to give the pets time to adjust. I also like to give lots of cuddles when they’re ready. Every pet is different, so I make sure to learn what each of them needs.

About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of animals since I was 9 years old. The founder of S.A.M.S. (Stray Animal Midway Shelter) was the first to introduce me to pet sitting, and I took care of her rescue when she was away on vacation for 7 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to take care of their furry family for as long as I can remember! I have experience training puppies with basic commands, giving medicine to older dogs, and caring for farm animals! I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your furry friends! I am available to house sit on some weekends and during most weekdays! Your pup will get daily exercise, lots of love, and because I can stay at your home, they will be able to keep their daily routine. I am also available to board your pup! I know traveling can be stressful for pet owners. My goal is to give you the comfort you need that your pets are in good hands. By staying in your home, I can keep your dog's daily routine and help reduce your pet's stress while you are away. Your furry family will get plenty of attention, exercise, and lots of snuggles! If you choose to board at my house, I have a Miniature Australian Shepherd that would love to keep them company! And I can assure you that they will never be left alone or unattended.
