Dog Walkers in Fergestown, IL

“Toonie loves Tiffany. Always prompt & great with my dog she doesn’t work on weekends & I’m on call.”

About: I have had dogs all my life. I have been caring for other people's dogs in their own homes on and off for 8 years. I currently work as an independent contractor so I have some open availability for pet care at almost any time of day most nights and most holidays too. I do not offer boarding since my dog is very territorial and jealous but I do over night stays, drop ins and walking (and of course play time!)

“Rachelle was great with our two Shih Tzu mix dogs. She was patient with our 13 yr old and playful with the puppy. She was adaptable to our changing schedule needs. She kept me informed of their activities and have me confidence that they were being well looked after while I was gone. Highly recommend Rachelle!”

I know how to administer medications, First aid, CPR, Bottle feeding, and I used to work at a wildlife rehabilitation center. I have rescued several animals in terrible shape when I found them and nursed them back to health, so I have plenty of experience when it comes to that if your pet needs some extra care. I have one dog, four cats, and a lizard and home and would love to get to know your pets as well. I am currently working a full-time job starting at 6am but I would be happy to stop by before then on week days if you’re alright with me being there early! I can take them for walks, feed them and administer medications. If you want I could even take them to a local trail and hike with them so they can get away from the house. I work full time Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-Saturday starting at 1am and ending by noon at the latest. I can care for your pets after work all the way until I go to sleep that night. I would treat your pet as my own. I don’t mind if your pet needs extra care such as medications or if there is an injury I need to be aware of. Your pet and their health and safety would be my number one priority.
