Dog Walkers in Elburn, IL

About: I’ve had Dogs since I was little. I currently have 2 German Short Haired Pointers which is a very high energy breed dog. With that being said I’m comfortable and able to care for small to big dogs including high energy fur babies🐾 I’ve also been a Nanny for 4 years and care for toddlers so i’m ready for anything! I’m currently working part time as a nanny while attending ECC for Nursing. This allows me to have a flexible schedule to care for your pet(s)! Having owned dogs my whole life i’m comfortable with any care your pet may need. For example, giving dogs medication as my own dog is very stubborn about it.

“Lizzie was great and accommodating! She was able to do a few house visits during the holidays, which can be very hard to find. My dog also gives up on all training when it’s cold outside but she made it work and provided thorough updates. I would definitely book her again.”

“I value Grace's help very much she has been helping me walk and feed my two chihuahuas for almost two weeks while I'm at work. She is very patient and listen to all my concerns since my pets are on the older side and can be a bit difficult with new people.”

About: I have over twenty years experience caring for not only dogs: but also speciality animals such as horses and reptiles. I have a vet assisting degree, and security experience. I am familiar with licensing and bonding, animal behavior and various medications - including but not limited to insulin injections, and I am licensed with the state of IL to practice security. Not only am I reliable, but I am an experieneced and safe option while you’re away. I live on a five acre farm with horses, cats, dogs, and other various animals. I believe animals are family. I have a section of the house for cats, and one for dogs. The cats have access to the dog room, but can easily be cut off from entrance. My home, and habits, are very safe and organized. I work and network with my husband and family. There is always someone available! All animals are considered family to us! Please take special note that when booking for your animal companions to stay at our home, we are not a boarding center, we are a personal home setting. In order to ensure the best success with this arrangement, it’s best to be honest about any behavioral issues. We do not house animals aggressive to human beings This gives us important insight on your animals natural behaviors to ensure the best action/sitting experience not only for us - but especially for your animals. Also, since this is a home setting, I do not consistently tour my home. I believe the photos on here and reviews do us justice. Having people walk through the house consistently was just too much for my family. So we do not do this anymore. In the future we may build a kennel outbuildings addition, and will offer tours of that should the time ever come that we decide to do that. But again, we do not provide tours of our personal home. I have plenty of time for your pups and their specific needs/routines. We cater to every animal as if they were our own, and understand each one is special and different. We have a double fenced yard, with lots of open space indoors and out. Extra crates and or farm house furniture for your pets needs.

About: I have always loved every different kind of animal out there, but spent my childhood with mostly just cats. 15 years ago, I adopted my first puppy, a German Short-haired Pointer, at the age of 8 weeks. My ex-husband and I decided to take the "treatless training" approach which was a huge success! Crate training, leash training, obedience training were all a collaborative effort and turned out extremely well. 10 years later, we adopted a sweet rescue named Gizmo who was already 7 years old, but became part of the family immediately. They have both passed on now to doggy heaven, but I am always the first to offer to care for other family member's pets anytime I can :) I'm currently working part-time from my home in Blackberry Creek and always have time for some fur-ball company. My 2 girls, 7 and 10 years old, are with me part time and are also very helpful, gentle and patient with our pets and hopefully yours! I have a fenced back yard with plenty of room for your fur-baby to play and exercise! If it better suits you, I can always come to your home as well for potty and play time :)

“Airing is an extremely kind and friendly person. I knew the second I met her that she would be great to care for my dog. She listened to my dog's cues and took it at her pace which tells me Airin is very knowledgeable in caring for animals. She provided me with a detailed report on how my dog was during the walk and took lots of pictures. I know I will be using Airin to care for my dog again! Thank you!!”

About: I have been walking and taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old, ranging from small dogs to huge dogs. I have experience with my own senior dog and am sensitive to the needs of dogs who are old or have unique health issues. Additionally, I have experience with other types of pets like insects, arachnids, amphibians, and reptiles. I am currently between jobs, so I am available for pet care needs on both weekdays and some weekends. I have a very open availability and I am happy to shift my schedule to match you and your pets' needs! At your home, I can take your pets outside on or off-leash, or let them out into a fenced-in yard with supervision. I enjoy sitting with and keeping pets company, even when they are relaxing or sleeping. I will work with you and your pets' needs in your home to ensure everyone is happy and healthy. :)

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds and sizes of dogs for many years. My family and friends always rely on me to care for their pets when needed.

I can follow any rules you might have for your fur baby at your home to keep them safe and loved. Happy pet, happy home.

It would be a great honor to walk your dog as I am a lover of all dogs! I treat all dogs the same with equal amounts of respect and care.

I will keep in mind of your pet's lifestyle and how active they are to determine how much exercise best fits their needs. I am blessed to have a lot of experience with pets, as I have worked in the Veterinary Field, grew up in a house full of pets, and have a dog of my very own. I have worked with many different types of dogs of different sizes and personalities and have learned many various techniques and skill-sets along the way. I am always looking to expand my knowledge from what I’ve already learned and grow in each experience! I'm able to use harnesses, leashes and collars of different kinds: retractable, chain, fabric... Ultimately, I put the pet first and will make sure they are in very great hands! I look forward to learning about you and your pet, and help better their lives! 🐕🐩🐕‍🦺🦮 *I have had experience with administrating insulin and dogs who have been diagnosed with diabetes and/or pancreatitis. 💉🏥 My availability is pretty open all days of the week and times!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. As a pet owner and foster mom, I have 30 plus years experience with all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, small animals) ranging in various ages (from bottle fed babies to senior pets). In my experience as a cat rescue volunteer, I have learned how to help animals that are scared or nervous because of changes in their routine. I have routinely pet sat for families near me with great success. I am looking forward to meeting your pet! I was a stay at home mom to 5 kids, and as they’ve grown I have found plenty of time to take care of other things such as cats in the foster system. I have a very open and flexible schedule! I have experience pet sitting in pet families’ homes and will be ready to do what works to keep your pet’s routine and schedule consistent.
