Dog Walkers in Glen Carbon, IL

About: With over 3 years of experience living with dogs and cats, I treat every pet like family. I offer a calm, trustworthy presence that keeps tails wagging. I’m currently working remotely, so caring for my maltese typically has been a breeze! I maintain a feeding, grooming, exercise, and mental enrichment routine with my dog. I feed my dog 2x a day and walk her for 30 minutes in the evening. Since she’s crate trained, she enjoys lounging around her bed while I work.

About: I have grown up in a household with dogs, mainly the medium to large sized breeds. I have experience with all sizes of dogs though, as I have taken care of a variety of sized dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. I have taken care of cats and dogs when needing medical care - especially giving meds and minor wound care - and also have groomed and walked many types and sizes of dogs. I love making sure the pets are healthy and happy. I have volunteered at an animal shelter to help with the care of animals - providing play time, meds, and grooming of both dogs and cats. I'm currently a full time student at SIUE and I'm in the MFA art studio program. For summer, I have fully online classes. The fall I have 3 in person classes with a mixed schedule. Mondays and Wednesdays are limited as I have a 3 hour morning class and 3 hour evening class, both being studio classes with some cleanup. Please note this as a potential issue due to the limited time for drop ins, walks, and check ins on a house sitting. Tuesdays and Thursdays are better as they just have one class. I will work with you ahead of time if there are any plans I have that will keep me away for longer than 4 hours at a time. During house sitting, I can provide food, medicine, play time, walks, and many other services. I also am willing to assist with house related things - bringing in mail, taking trash out for trash pickup, etc - just let me know and we can work it out. For walks and drop ins, my availability is generally flexible and will work with you to determine the best time(s) to be there. I can also provide some house related services (like bring in mail and packages) upon request. Please note I do have in person classes at SIUE Monday through Thursday. I am available to help with the pets at the clients home. I can either stay at your place or go home at night, which I can work with you based on your needs and comfort. I have experience with gated and non gated yards (so needing to leash the dog when taking out for the potty), gates for inside the house, and crate training. Often I will have my own leash with me so that if anything happens, I'm prepared. As for walks, I often work with the dog(s) to see what triggers them and avoid as much as possible. I know not all dogs are friendly with other dogs or people so I am aware of my surroundings and provide appropriate distance and avoid people and dogs as best as I can.

About: Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I’m stoked to start this journey. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow, I absolutely love them all. I have a 11 year old black lab, who’s slowed down a lot. She is my everything. She just can’t move like she used to and I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk. I understand these are your babies. My house is also open with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have! I work Monday-Friday, I am free in the evenings and off on Thursdays typically. I’m free on most holidays like Thanksgiving(so keep that in mind).** I am free on most weekends. ** Also please note, I’m willing to travel to MO from IL side. My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.

“Joy went out of her way to meet our dogs beforehand. She was kind and attentive, she sent photos of our boys while she was there. Will definitely be using her again!!”

“Kyleen is amazing! Yesterday my dog had an accident in her crate with diarrhea everywhere. Kyleen responded to the situation with compassion and understanding- she even wiped down some of the mess so that it was easier for me to clean up once I got home! I would highly recommend her!”

My name is Lauren and I would love to take care of, walk, feed, or just love on your pets (: I currently have a 5 year old pitty mix and a 13 year old chow mix and they are my pride and joy!

I plan to only except jobs that will be in the pets owners home, so I would need to know what is best for your home and your neighborhood. As well as how your pet acts / any needs they may have.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for both dogs and cats — especially the snuggly ones. I have a calm, gentle approach and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s playtime, a peaceful walk, or cozy company while you’re away, I treat every pet like family. I work remote from home so I have plenty of time in my schedule to take care of your pet! My routine is flexible and open to weekday lunch walks, evening play time, or weekend check-ins! I pride myself on the research I’ve done to maintain my pets health and happiness. I will extend that same care and attention to your baby, because they really are like family. While I have routines, I enjoy the spontaneous moments of fun and play with all pets.

About: I have rehabilitated many dogs. I've spent many years making sure dogs can live their lives to their fullest potential. Every fur baby is precious. I am a very busy person with many activities so something I enjoy that works around my own schedule would be very necessary for me. I build trust with animals before I shower them with affection. Animals just want love, time, sense of security, and treats. They want to know they have a purpose and are a good dog.

I make sure there are no dangers around and follow your instructions closely. Your furry friend will get all the care they need, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.

About: Dogs have been part of my family my whole life. When I moved to the Metro St Louis Area the house I bought had to have a fenced back yard. I found a house with a fenced Great, Green space in the back. There is a covered porch and a dog door to get in the heated garage. I work M-F. But am available nights and weekends. The dogs would enjoy the outside space as weather allows. They would come inside at night. My 2 dogs love to share their space. At Holidays the relatives all bring their dogs when they come visit. My Golden Retriever & Lab are good hostesses.
