Dog Walkers in Fairmont, IL

“I used Annie for a few walks with my 2.5yr old lab and she was amazing! She took her for nice walks and even hung out with her in the yard, as my dog loves to sunbathe. Winnie can be hesitant with new people, but you can tell from the pictures she sent that she loved having Annie here! Thanks so much and will definitely be using her again! Highly recommended!”

“Jessica is reliable and friendly! Our pup, Hank, is very excited for his walk days with her. We did a meet and greet and could tell Hank and Jessica would become fast friends. Jessica is a good communicator, sending walk updates and confirming weekly schedules. We highly recommend Jessica and appreciate the positive experience we’ve had with her!”

About: I have spent every year of my life with a dog by my side. I’ve been taking care of dogs for my friends and family for the last 15 years while they go out of town. Which led me to adopting my own fur baby about 5 years ago. I am currently unemployed, so I am available all day for walking or pet sitting. My dog has grown used to me being gone for at least 8 hours a day. I am capable of crating dogs, taking them for walks, giving treats, feeding them, making sure they have plenty of water, playing fetch, providing any necessary medicines. Whatever your fur baby needs.

About: I have experience taking care of my own personal cat and some experience with dogs as I had a dog from age 10-20. I love both dogs and cats. I work full time but they are 12 hour shifts 3 days a week. I am able to do drop in visits/walks on Mondays, Fridays and every other weekend 6am-4. I am also available every other Tuesday/Wed. I would treat the animals like they are my own. Animals give me a great deal of joy. I love learning new information about animals

“Nice and friendly.”

“Jessica did such a amazing job with my high energy Husky Duke! I needed a dog walker for ealry morning walks 5 days a week because I had a broken knee. She showed up every single morning right on time and ready to take Duke out to walk and play. He would be waiting by the door for her he was so excited to see. It was so helpful to have someone so helpful and reliable during such a stressful time. Duke and I are very greatful for all that Jessica did for us!”

About: Hi, I’m Art I’ve spent the past 10+ years immersed in the world of dogs—personally, professionally, and through volunteer work. From working at PetSmart to volunteering in dog rehabilitation programs, I’ve built deep experience with pups of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’ve been a proud dog owner for over a decade and a trusted sitter for friends, family, and clients who rely on me for consistent, loving care. Whether your dog needs high-energy playtime, gentle companionship, medication, or just a calm, dependable presence—I’ve got it covered. Dogs aren't just animals to me—they’re family. I treat every dog in my care like one of my own, making sure they’re safe, happy, and loved whether it’s for a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay. You’ll get plenty of updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in experienced hands. Let’s set up a Meet & Greet—I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work overnights and I am available during the day noon to 9 pm. I am available weekends with some advance notice. Available in house or come to you with notice. I have a fenced in yard that we do not use chemicals on and monitor for pests or plants that are not animal friendly. Home comes stocked with a friendly playful dog, toys, and cat that will probably hide.

“Evelyn is good looking young lady. Very warm, responsible person. Perfect company for dogs. My fur kids like her a lot. Highly recommended.”

“Vanessa takes my 1 year old puppy to her yard to exercise and play everyday! I work and don’t have a fenced in yard so I can’t explain how much of a help it is to me and my household. Very kind, generous, responsible and knows a lot about training/caring for dogs. Would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone.”

About: I have had animals in my house since I was a little kid. Our family currently has a Great Pyrenees, a Shih Tzu, and 3 cats. I've had experience caring for friend's animals while they were on vacation or whenever they needed a walk, food, or some extra love. I have taken dogs to the dog park, as well. I volunteer at an animal shelter in Tinley Park and work with their stray, small, and large dogs. I have taken out some of the shelter dogs for training exercises and behavioral observations. The most recent dog that I trained can sit and stay before I throw his toy. I, also, have worked with the puppies that come in and understand the extra attention needed for them. I will treat your animals with love and care.

About: I've had the privilege of caring for pets since I was 10 years old. I've helped my parents train (through training classes and at home), walk, feed, bathe and enrich both of our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel pups for the last 15 years. I also had the opportunity to take care of my roommate's two gorgeous cats in college. In October 2023, I rescued my own kitty that I care for night and day. When I’m not lounging with Zilla, I like to spend time with my friends and family, try new restaurants with my boyfriend, exercise, and jam out to music in my car. I've done many overnight stays at friends’ and family members’ homes while pet sitting, and I encourage you to browse my testimonials to learn more about how passionate I am about nurturing animals. I have experience with: - puppies/kittens - adult dogs/cats - dogs of all sizes I also work full-time at a marketing agency focused exclusively on the pet industry, so I've learned an immense amount of information about pet health, pet care, pet safety and breed-specific behaviors/characteristics. My current job is remote 4/5 days a week, so I'm able to be present at your home almost whenever you need. I look forward to becoming your local, trusted pet sitter! As mentioned, my current job is remote 4/5 days a week, so I'm able to be present at your home almost whenever you need. Monday evenings and Tuesday's are the only times I'm usually unavailable. Feel free to message me to discuss my availability as needed - I can be flexible! I'm happy to stay overnight at your home to make your pet(s) feel more comfortable. You know your pet best, so I'll make sure to follow the instructions you give me and make the experience as stress-free as I possibly can for your pet(s). I'll make sure your pet is on a leash/harness whenever I take them outside (unless you have a backyard that is fenced in, of course), and will avoid interactions with other animals during walks if you have a reactive pet.

About: Natural born dog whisperer. Wanted a Pit bull ended up with a Chihuahua. I truly believe Cuco, my dog, was my animal soulmate. I loved caring for him full time and now hope to have the opportunity to care for your pup part time. I am a patient walker — even if that means infinite stops to sniff stuff. Will always speak to them as I would to a human child. Plus, no human children in household only your pet child. Can help with potty training and social/public anxiety relief. Guaranteed good belly rubs, affection, and fresh bowl of water/food at all times under my care. I’d be thrilled to take very photogenic pictures of them and send them your way along with updates. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any additional questions and/or concerns. I am a remote employee and am home 100% of the time with your pet. Pups are welcomed to join me for a day of work, enjoy window views (bark at delivery drivers) and take all the naps desired. Sliding door for them to look outside while inside. Indoor cameras to keep an eye on pup if up to trouble from my office. Designated space in the living room, kitchen, office, and loft for them. This is our home, and we hope to make your pup feel right at home too—pups are allowed on all furniture (couches, human beds). My partner Martin also lives here—he’s a very loving caretaker of dogs and often helps keep them busy on weekends or when he’s not at work.

“Samantha is awesome! Very reliable & always on time. I always come home to happy pups, they love her!! Highly recommend.”

About: I'm available Friday-Sunday and would be able to give your dog all the attention, I've done dog sitting and walking since I was 12 for my neighbors but would love to expand now. I can provide food and any specific requests and go out for walks. I am able to travel so we can go for long walks or to dog parks and I’m also available to just check up anytime! I especially love going on long walks so your little guy or girl will definitely have a great time! Depending on the days and times I can also watch dog sit from my house as long as time permits. Regardless I am always happy to take care of your pets whenever it’s needed! I currently work full-time but miss do sitting every day as it is my favorite type of work because it doesn’t even feel like it! Although I am unable to care for pets in my home, I treat your home with the up most respect and take care of your pet as if they were my own.

About: There’s just nothing better than seeing the unconditional love that a dog provides to our lives! That’s why getting to work with them has been a dream come true for me. Dogs are so kind and accepting; I think we have a lot to learn from them! But all in all, I love that I can give back to my community and provide pups with the love that they need to thrive all at once! I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet when taking on a new client. I think it’s a great way for us to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another! It’s also a great opportunity for us to chat face-to-face about some of the most important aspects of the stay. I love to ask tons of questions about your pup so I can make them as happy as possible while they’re with me! When I meet them for the first time, I always like to get on their level and show them that I’m a friendly presence. I always make fast friends with dogs, so I’m excited to meet your best friend! When I’m looking after your pup, I always do what I can to provide the best customer service to you and your pooch. For my canine clients, that means making sure that our time is tailored around them and their needs! No one knows your dog better than you do, so I like to ask lots of questions and get a good idea of how to make your dog’s dreams come true! I’m always very attentive to a dog’s behavior and will make sure that I respond accordingly to how they are feeling. For my human clients, I’ll always be very pro-active with my communication. I like to provide daily updates that include a summary of what we’ve done for the day, complete with some great pictures of us having fun together! Open while I go back to a part-time job. I'm flexible and I work from home sometimes, too. We can make things work and come up with a plan together :) I take care of the pets as if you were there with them so we are safe and calm and content I want to keep their routine as similar as possible to their original routine.

About: I have taken care of animals most of my life. I currently have 5 animals myself so I know how each one of your fur babies requires special care. I would treat them as my own and look after them with the utmost care. I am currently available most days and times. All I ask is a few hours heads up so i can get everything situated. Same day requests are available and im willing to meet before hand so you could get to know me. I have a fenced in yard. I have 4 dogs and a cat that are all trained to be around other dogs and cats. I also have 2 animals that are on medication so I'm used to making sure everyone gets their proper medications on time.

“Jody is great and we always request her first to take care of our dog. She is attentive and always leaves the best notes and photos. We know our pup is in great hands!”

About: I am a professional walker looking to make more doggy friends! I am very compassionate and patient with the animals, and I follow instructions completely. I haven't met a dog i haven't got along with, and i treat each one like they were a member of my own family. I make sure to be very consistent because to me being able to take care of your'e pet is a gift in itself. I have experience with dogs, cats, and small mammals. I am looking to get more clients to make this my full time job. I'll try out any bad dog (if you think your dog qualifies). I am available for walking and sitting in your residence. Why I love dog sitting I always loved animals, but i was never allowed to own one :( . So i learned to live vicariously through others. The best way to do that was to walk, and I basically fall in love with any dog I meet!
