Dog Walkers in Empire, IL

“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: 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.

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.

About: I have taken care of dogs, fish, cats, and children. I am a licensed foster parent and I also have extensive medical training. I had a Jack Russell Terrier for 18 years but do not currently have any pets of my own. I will treat you pets like they are family. I work full time, but my spouse is usually home. When we run errands we are more than happy to bring your dog along with us in the car if he/she likes going “bye bye.” Pets in my home have the run of the place as if it is their own. They are allowed on the furniture. If I am pet sitting in your home I will be respectful of your space.

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: As a pet owner, I want to know that my dogs are safe and happy while I am away.

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.

“Kylie was great with our two dogs and assorted small pets! She sent pictures every time and took great care of them.”

About: I’ve taken care of PAWZ every since I was 10 years old. My family had four kittens around that time of age and I took the lead role into making sure they’re daily activity was met. I’ve also dog sat in the past few years while being a student on UIUC campus. I like to go for walks, car rides, or sitting on the balcony on a nice sunny day, so if your furry friend needs a pet sitter of interest please reach out to me. Im currently a student at University of Illinois UC and I work part time. Most of this time is during the day, but this is also negotiable . I love playing in and out doors with our friends in the yard or in the living room etc, while following your pet/home care instructions.

“Great with my baby girl!! As an accountant, long hours do not make for a happy puppy. Knowing Ashley will be hanging with her twice a week for a bit definitely helps!!!”

About: My pet care experience consists of having a dog throughout my childhood and adult years. I've always loved the companionship of owning a dog and also visiting or babysitting families and friends' dogs/cats. With having a dog comes a lot of responsibility and attention whether that's feeding, letting outside, physical activity, and training. I'm experienced in all of those qualities. The pet care that I will be using through the new dogs and cats I meet are the basics of giving treats, going for walks, and playing fetch or ball. Those basics are important and useful for dog caregivers because any dog would love the attention and care that you are giving them unconditionally. I'm also experienced in grooming with bathing the pet if needed. Whether that's outside with a hose and soap or inside in a bathtub. Dogs are my best friends and should be treated with love and companionship therefore I would treat the dog and make sure they are happy and comfortable but also safe and calm at all times. My schedule is very flexible and in the case of babysitting or walking a dog, I will be attentive and responsible. Since I currently have a dog at home I take her outside frequently, stay outside with her and walk around the backyard or throw a toy and play fetch or even just sit in the grass and give her belly rubs. My daily routine consists of letting my dog outside and hanging out with her off and on while also letting her have time to rest and chill by herself. My weekly routine is the same as my daily routine aside from additional car rides, pup cups, or cousin visits with other dogs. The safety, trust & Environment of the care for the pet in my home and or my client's home will consist of making sure all doors are shut when entering and exiting the home or garage. Also making sure the dog is on a leash and well equipped when walking through a neighborhood. I also have a fenced-in yard so I'm experienced with fences and the proper precautions if needed. I can easily create your dog too if needed. Also water supply and refilling the water bowl as needed and giving supplements or medicine also. Also will have the clients contact information in case of emergency.

About: I grew up with pets, both dogs and cats, and have taken care of many pets in my community (including friends, extended family, neighbors, and coworkers) whether it is just for a daily walk, or house sitting while they are on vacation. I have a part-time job, but besides that, I am free mostly every day, including weekends, and possibly house-sitting if need be! I am willing to work around your schedule to ensure the most happiness for you and your pet! I will follow and respect the rules you have set up for your pet, to ensure safety and comfort for your pet and home. I am comfortable putting your pet in a crate/room before leaving if need be, letting them roam within your gated area, or walking them around on a leash, whatever you prefer.
