Dog Walkers in Grigg, IL

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized care for each pup I look after. I take the time to get to know your dog’s unique needs, routines, and quirks, ensuring they feel right at home. I offer regular photo and video updates, so you never have to worry about how your pet is doing while you’re away. With a safe, cozy home and a focus on fun and comfort, your dog will feel like part of the family. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or snuggle time, I tailor everything to your pet’s preferences! I am working from home and part time, so my schedule is flexible as I make my own schedule. I will tailor my schedule to yours. In My Home: I offer a safe, cozy environment with plenty of space for your pet to feel comfortable. While my large yard isn’t fenced in, I ensure that outdoor time is always supervised and safe. Inside, my two shy cats provide gentle company for pets who enjoy calm, quiet companionship. I offer a relaxed and secure atmosphere where pets can roam freely, rest, or have quiet time as they need. I also provide lots of space for your pet to retreat to if they prefer solitude. Whether it’s a play session, a nap in a cozy spot, or simply some peaceful downtime, your pet will always feel at ease. In Your Home: When I care for your pet in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and comfort. I offer drop-in visits to feed, play, and clean up, or take your dog for a walk to ensure they get the exercise and fresh air they need. I understand the importance of a pet’s familiar surroundings, so I make sure they feel safe and secure in their own space. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or just some cuddle time, I’m here to provide the attention your pet needs while keeping you updated with photos and messages.

About: With years of experience in high-end dog training, sitting, and walking, I offer more than just pet care—I provide expert, personalized attention for your dog. I understand canine behavior on a deep level, ensuring your pup feels safe, engaged, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s reinforcing good manners, going on structured walks, or providing calm companionship, I treat every dog like my own.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I can play with them, pick up after them, bathe them and make sure they’re happy and well fed. And I can take the dog on short or long walks and make sure they’re happy and safe. Also for house sitting I’ll make sure the house is clean and any messes the dog makes is cleaned up as well I’m a student at an online university, but I am taking a break from perusing my BS in forensic accounting. So I have plenty of time to watch your pets. I have two dogs that I take care of with my family. And they are well cared for and I play with them throughout the day and feed them when they need to be fed.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was young. I foster for the animal shelters. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own. I use to be a dog groomer for Petco! I have fostered newborn kittens and puppies. I have experience with fish, hamsters, cats, dogs, kittens, puppies, horses, chickens, ducks, goose, donkeys, cows, ect. I’m an animal lover all around!! I’m a stay at home pet mom, so I have all the time for your pets as well! I would love to give them extra love :) When first meeting a pet, I always slowly let them get used to me. I talk to them and tell them everything i’m doing whether they can can understand me or not 😅. I pride myself on gaining the trust of any animal and always making sure they feel safe!

About: Hi! I'm Dannielle, I've been a certified dog groomer for 5 years. Dogs are my passion! I have 3 pups of my own- a special needs shepherd, a spunky 2 year old pit mix, and my sweet senior boy. On my off time I enjoy making homemade dog treats, jerky, and doing dog crafts such as making collar flowers and bandannas. As a groomer I am always continuing my canine education, especially related to safe dog handling. My goal in life is to meet all the pups! Being in a salon management position I do have a good amount of flexibility with my schedule. I will be available for drop-in visits and walks in the evenings and select day visits. I’m also available for overnight pet sitting during the week and on every other weekend. I do not care for pets in my home due to my personal dogs however I am open and adaptable to care for your pet at your home however you see fit. Keeping a steady routine is important for our furs. I am comfortable walking dogs on leash, in a fenced yard off leash, and with crate training.

About: While I may not have "professional" pet care experience, I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have always been a go-to pet helper for family and friends. I believe in gentle and attentive care. I am committed to making sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved... because dogs truly are family! I am excited to earn your trust and become your dog's second-favorite human! 🐾 I work full time as a first responder. My schedule varies due to a 48/96 work schedule (this meaning I work 2 days on, 4 days off). I am typically available all off days, but my schedule will vary! I do not currently have any pets due to just moving into a new home! Though I do still have 2 dogs back home that I see often. I aim to create an environment where your four-legged friend will feel secure and relaxed. I achieve this by only sitting one pet at a time in a large house with no other pets. I love giving all the attention to the pups, but also have plenty of space for those who are shy. I also provide pictures and videos of pets upon request :)

About: Hi! My name is Katie and I am 32 years old.. I have dog sat many times over the years for family and family friends. I have been obsessed with animals since before I can remember. Dogs are the key to happiness in my opinion!! I will never turn down an opportunity to pet a dog or cat if able. I will be sure to keep your dog or cat well taken care of with lots of love, potty breaks as needed and outside or inside play if they are energetic! I currently am a stay at home mom for my 1 year old, so I have flexibility and will be able to provide what’s needed for your fur baby to the best of my ability. I would love to get a run down of your typical day or what your animal normally requires and expects. Keeping them in a routine they are comfortable with is important and I am happy to provide that as much as I am able.

About: Hey there, I’m Danielle, 36, of Belleville. I’m a mother of 6 human children and only 2 fur children right now. That’s really saying something because I’ve always had plenty of animals around me. My family has been on the right side of animal empathy for as long as I can remember. As a family we’ve volunteered and fostered for the local humane society. We’ve found ourselves in the face of wounded and homeless creatures more times than I could count that we’ve taken in graciously and to the best of our ability. These experiences have taught us so much about animal care. My experience also ranges far beyond dogs and cats. I do have experience with many reptiles and mammals as well, caged and uncaged. I am a full Time student and mother. Caring for pets full time fits naturally into the routine. I’m available as much or as little As needed while you’re away. I want to create a similar environment for your pet to their normal routine. Pet parents being away creates an anxiety I would strive to calm in your absence and consistency is important for them. Walks, spending time with them, frequent potty breaks, and feeding routines are something I would want to mimic of your current habits as best as possible. As a home owner myself, I’m aware and experienced with red flags of home security and maintenance. Providing a lifeline to your other most valuable assets left behind can offer a peace of mind while you are away.

“Heather and her crew bring a dependable exciting, socializing aspect to her service is top notch! She asked and offered first and, it was a bonus i had not factored in. She gives my dogs tons of attention and pack like walks. Even going further than expected on the beautiful days. I can not say enough great things about her. And, her kids helping is an aspect i did not expect. She has asked if she can include her dog on the walks sometimes. I told her absolutely! The more socializing with anyone, anywhere has been really great! And, above and beyond expectation. I highly recommend her for anyone with puppies, empty nesters like me, and or, dogs that have lost their fur sibling. Exceptional! Worth every penny and then some!”
