Dog Walkers in Five Points, IL

“Taylor never disappoints us! She is always patient and kind to Arnie and she is really helping him to become more confident and less anxious. She also leaves us great comments/feedback on Arnie after every engagement, which makes it easier for us to track his progress and gives me (I am not around Arnie everyday) insight into Arnie’s world that I wouldn’t otherwise have an opportunity to experience. She’s the best!”

About: For about 4-5 years I’ve been on and off taking care of dogs from puppies to elders. I’ve helped raise and train my parent’s puppies for the past three years and have helped all sorts of family, friends and neighbors with all sorts of dogs. I have a cat and have cat-sat others for about 2-3 years as well as helped with reptiles, fish, rodents and birds. I work part time at a bank so whenever I have a free second I’m usually out and about checking in on pets, feeding them or walking dogs. I’m very list orientated so making a good list/schedule for your pet care is my top priority. I make sure I play with all my pets for a little while a few times a day when I’m home and give multiple pets individual attention. If I'm gone for work or something other I’m never out for more than a few hours.

About: I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, love, and lots of play! What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a gentler touch. Hi! I’m a part-time worker at an pharmacy and nursing student at NIU with a flexible schedule and a big heart for animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, and I truly enjoy spending time with pets, it’s a fun and relaxing break from school and work. I’m reliable, responsible, and bring the same care and attention to animals as I do in my nursing studies. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle session, or just keeping them company while you’re away, your pets will be in loving hands! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will try to stick closely to their usual routine feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I will make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and stress free while you’re away. I always keep things clean, stay respectful of your space, and give your pet the attention they need to feel comfortable. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, or just quiet company, I adapt to their needs and personality to ensure they’re happy and well cared for.

“Melanie was very sweet! Will totally have her walk my pup ? again. She included photos of the walk. Even offered to wipe off my pups paws because it was muddy in the area. Thanks Melanie for being so kind and thoughtful. I hope I didn’t drive you crazy with all my messages ?”

About: Animals are my safe space, they’ve truly helped me my entire life and caring for them is so incredibly rewarding. Fur babies truly are amazing! I work from home, so I have plenty of time to check up on the animals!! I have a very flexible schedule as well, I will work with you! I have lots of animal toys, as well as lots of hands on experience playing with animals! I will more than happily play with them just with my hands/arms💖

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I’ve got my first one when I was 5 years old. Throughout the years, I’ve gained a ton of experience taking care of all dogs. As an owner of 3 dogs (2 small. 1 large) I’ve definitely have had my fair share of doggy cuddles, play time, walks, and lots love! I’m currently working part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule. I am a student, but because my class schedule is very spread out, I have lots of free time to take care of any furry friends! In your home, I will implement any rules you have for your dog. I will also establish to you dog that I am a trustworthy person as I will slowly introduce myself to your dog to make sure they feel safe with my presence!

About: I absolutely love dogs. I’ve always had dogs growing up and love to take care of them. I am very loving and can get along with any dog. I have dog sat for numerous friends and family members and never had any issues. Your dog will love me as much as I’ll love it. I am currently a student athlete right now. Anytime after 12 pm is a good time for me. I can definitely dog walk but can also drop in, feed, and take of dog as need be. I always make sure my dog at home is fed, walked, in a safe environment, and gets the attention it deserves. It makes me happy to make the dog happy!

About: I had family pets throughout my childhood that I would help take care of. Now, I have 2 dogs of my own! they are both two years old and have a ton of energy. I have a very flexible schedule with my other job. I am mostly always available to pet sit or take your dog for a walk, unless I am traveling. I have an adorable friendly golden retriever and high energy ausiedoodle that always wantto play, I have many toys and treats, and a crate if needed. If your fur baby needs anything specific gladly let me know!

About: I have 3 large dogs of my own so I am no newbie to walking big pups! I absolutely love all dogs and am lucky to have the summers off to give them long walks and provide much needed potty breaks! I am off for the summer (June - August) so weekdays at anytime work for me. I also am free to cover while you go on vacations :) I am extra cautious with our fur babies and their safety, happiness, and well-being is of utmost importance When I am in a client’s home or backyard, I am always sure to check the environment so ensure it is safe for pets (i.e. fence is locked, no small pieces around for choking, water available, etc).

About: Hello! I have been very lucky to grow up and still currently be surrounded by animals of all kinds.Dogs and cats have always had a special place in my heart. Not only do I live with animals, I have also worked with cats, dogs, and small animals at 2 local shelters. I’m excited to work together! :) I currently am available 6 days a week, excluding Tuesdays. Any other day of the week, I can be there for you and your furry friends needs. I have the knowledge to safely crate, walk, feed, and medicate your cat/dog friend. And promise to give them the care, time, and love requested.

About: Dogs have always been drawn to me and I to them. I am a WFH business owner in Dekalb, Illinois. I've lived here my whole life (35 years) and have volunteered to walk dogs at both Tails and the Barn on Baseline throughout my life. I am my neighborhoods dogsitter and can be yours too. I have owned dogs my entire life (all rescues, one is a Katrina Rescue) and have a keen eye for anything wrong or concerning. I'm a big outdoor walker and I personally walk my Husky/Spaniel Mix 3 times a day for 30 minutes each and would love to stop by and give your dogs a visit or give them some much needed exercise! Any questions simply ask! I'm an Ecommerce Business owner with a very flexible schedule allowing me to prioritize my personal life outside of work. Your dogs would fit great into my schedule! As a homeowner, I'm respectful of my clients privacy and cleanliness of their home. I'm simply there to enjoy the company of your dog and make sure they are in good hands while you are gone!

“Vlad did a great job with my two dogs, Lily and Leo. He was prompt, courteous, and professional. It was my first time leaving my dogs alone and I was a little uncertain how they'd react, but everything went perfectly. Vlad even improvised a little bit - I hadn't anticipated rainy weather and he handled just fine, locating some towels in my garage and drying the dogs off. He stayed in communication with me with every walk. I would recommend him without reservation.”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a teenager. Pets that belonged to my sister to pets that have belonged to my neighbors. I have experience feeding and walking dogs. I'm currently in between jobs at the moment, but that'll change in a little while. So, take advantage while you can. Of course, when I do get a job, I'll still make time to care for your pet! I'm always dependable to feed your pet on time and walk your pet for however long is needed. I also enjoy playing and interacting with your pet.

About: I grew up with dogs all of my life. We always had at least one dog and usually a cat growing up. My family and I now have 3 dogs- Cocker Spaniel, Bernedoodle, and a Beagle mix. We treat our dogs as family- humans. I consider them my children. I am a former foster for Tails, but unfortunately I had to give that up due to getting attached to them all. ❤️ *update- I’m fostering again! 🥰💕❤️ I am a stay at home mom to my 3 dogs! My 15, 12, and 6 year old are in school all day. I am home all day besides an occasional errand, school drop off/pickup, or an after school or weekend sporting event for my boys. My husband also has a flexible work schedule. In fact, I usually have him come along on meet & greets so that we can tag team visits if need be. We have a Petsafe invisible fence. If you have a Petsafe collar, then it should work at my home. Besides the Petsafe invisible fence, we have an extra long tie out in the backyard. We also have a fenced in area near the pool which is unavailable during pool season otherwise open. I recently put up a fenced area that is suitable for dogs that aren’t jumpers or strong. Our yard is about half an acre. I’m happy to walk a dog on a leash in the yard or around the neighborhood as well. We have a beautiful walking path nearby. I also love giving the option to pet owners for in home visits while they’re gone. Sometimes a pet is more content and comfortable in their own home. I’m happy to visit 3-4 times a day to provide some company, feed, and allow for potty breaks. It’s really a great option for many who don’t enjoy being boarded at a facility.
