Dog Walkers in Girard, IL

“Meara has always been kind and gentle with baby sitting my cat and my dog. I have no complaints and would recommend her work fully.”

About: I get asked a lot why I'm still doing Rover since I'm a Veterinarian. So here's the answer, I do Rover, so that pet owners can have peace of mind and feel safe to enjoy their time away knowing that their pet is in excellent hands with me. It gives me a break from the "medical" side of things and allows me to just enjoy your pets company without having to diagnosis or prescribe, helps re-establish my "why" I chose veterinary medicine in the first place. So with that said, I'm capable of taking care of any needs you may have for your pet while you are away! I currently work Monday-Thursday 8am-5pm, off Fridays and every other Saturday. I can accommodate drop-in visits or house sitting as needed. Dog Walking is on an individual basis My significant other and I live on 15 acres in Medora and have two very hyper, active pups ourselves. We have one inside cat and one outdoor barn cat (just what he prefers best). Our pups have free-range of the property while we are home, while we are away they are crated. Our dogs are cat friendly. We do have one large 24x24 outdoor chain link fenced run but rarely put our own dogs in it. We are open to bringing pets to our home as long as they get along with ours and are leash trained and able to be crated if we are not around. As far as if I were to house-sit or drop-in visits were arranged- I would like to keep your pet on their normal schedule (as much as possible) so that is very flexible.

“Kayla took Luna on a lovely walk while I was gone for the day! Luna loved her walk and was definitely tired for the rest of the day. Kayla was very communicative and even arrived early after checking it was okay to do so!”

“Laura was wonderful! I booked last minute and she was so helpful! As this being my first time using Rover I will be booking again & hopefully with Laura! Zeus enjoyed his time with her as well!”

“Emma did a wonderful job taking care of Aldo. She went out of her way to give him extra long walks and made sure he was well taken care of. I would absolutely hire her again.”

“I was skeptical of having a stranger in my house, however, my daughter introduced me to Rover.com Page stood out with her overwhelming care for animals. We did a meet and greet from the time she came in my home, we were comfortable with her. 2 of the 4 of my dogs took to her right away. One of my girls has attitude and the other is afraid of her shadow so it takes them awhile. We have already used Paige several times and will continue to do so. As a paw parent i always ask her to spend as much time as she can with them. My furbabies are only use to being kenneled and alone at most 8-9 hours. We are fortunate enough to work close to come so on lunch we let them out at lunch time. She has always done what we asked of her. We would recommend Paige!”

“Angelly takes care of my furbaby Snowball like it’s her own. She’s great about sending an update every day when housesitting and I can always count on her to be on time. 10/10 recommend!”

“Abby is awesome with all animals. She is a natural animal lover! You will not have to worry about anything with your dog in Abby’s care. She has three dogs of her own and is very responsible when it comes to caring for them!”

About: I am good with cats, dogs and guinea pigs. I can clean out litter boxes, change bedding for guinea pigs and also have extensive experience in caring for a guinea pig's special needs. I’m currently working Mon-Thurs from 8:15am-4:30pm and Friday from 8:15am-12:30pm and I get an hour lunch! So if you ever need me to check in on your fur babies, I can do that! And I can still stay overnight if needed! I will follow instructions how to care for your animals in your home. This can include baths, walks, potty breaks, play time and feeding times.

“Caitlin by far is the greatest dog sitter I have met. She was able to help me out on such short notice! Cheap price! Loving and welcoming home! Another great thing is that she takes all size dogs!”

About: I have volunteered at Animal Protective League for nearly 12 years. I am a lover of all animals big and small. Several family members have relied on me to care for their dogs and other pets during that time. Most of my experience is centered around cats as I foster kittens for my local animal shelter, but I did grow up with several dogs. I may not have a dog now, but I will do my best to care for each and every fur-baby that I meet. I am partially employed to a small business that gives me work opportunities when they need extra help. Unfortunately those opportunities are mostly seasonal so I won't receive any work until spring (if COVID doesn't get any worse). They do let me know if they need me several weeks in advance, and my open schedule can be adjusted accordingly if I am given a regulated schedule by someone who wants me to regularly walk/check in with their pet during the day. I have experience house-sitting and caring for my employer's animals. I make a daily schedule for my duties and keep in touch with my employer's in case that schedule changes or if I have any questions/comments about

“Demitria is wonderful and very responsible as a pet caregiver! She shows the the upmost love and affection for all animals. You can count on Demi to take care of your family pet!”

“Jennifer is an animal person through and through. I would trust her with my fur baby without a second thought. She is very caring towards animals needs, and would be great on a walk or a play date. She is very loving and any Rover member would find a fast favorite for their pup.”

“Mckenzie was very good with our pup. She made Molly feel right at home and treated her like she was her own. Molly loved being there and and trusted her! I highly recommend Mckenzie!”

About: I may be new to Rover, but I have years of experience taking care of family and friends pets. Whether they’re dogs, cats, reptiles, etc. I love all animals and my kids do also. We have a miniature dachshund who is so handsome. I would love to take care of your pets ❤️ I work remotely from home, so my availability throughout the day and night is open, as well as weekends and I am able to cater to the needs of your pets. I am able to give full attention to your animals in your home. I can drop by at anytime and let them outside, feed and give them water. I can also stay and play with them so they get the attention they deserve!

“Kevin has taken care of our pitty mix several times. She is crazy about him and always wants to go with him when she sees him. She loves to go for walks and/or rides with him. He treats her as part of the family. We will always feel comfortable allowing him to watch her.”
