Dog Walkers in Hamel, IL

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 SWIC, going for a graphic design certificate and the MFA art studio program. For summer, I have fully online classes. The fall I have 3 in person classes that will have me on campus for approximately 3 hours per day, Monday - Thursday. 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. 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.

Time flies when I’m playing with them and they have the best cuddles Pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it’s something I genuinely look forward to every day.

I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel loved, safe, and truly seen. Caring for pets isn’t a job to me—it’s my passion and something I pour my whole heart into. Whether in my home or a client’s, I care for pets with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs.

In a client’s home, I make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable in their own space, keeping things clean, calm, and familiar. If they’re with me, they get a cozy, stress-free environment with plenty of play, snuggles, and supervision. I treat every pet like my own—always with respect, care, and lots of love.

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats my entire life, and I love them both deeply. I’ve also babysat cats and dogs of all sizes, done plenty of walking, feeding, and administered meds to both. Whether it’s me dropping in to take your dog potty or to pet your cat for 30 minutes straight - I will treat them with the love and care they deserve. I work remotely, so I can drop in or walk your dog basically anytime! Weekends, I can spend multiple hours with your babies or pop in on them every 4-6 hours. I’m a firm believer in making the animal comfy, usually by letting them come to me first for a greeting. I become fast friends with every animal I’ve cared for, so after that it’s about consistent check-ins with the fur babes to ensure their needs are met.

I also have a 6 year old lab who is still very much a puppy and enjoys her play time! I am a full time stay at home dog mom just looking to meet some new babies and make some money on the side. I travel full time with my hubby so this would be a great way for me to get out and socialize. I never let my own dogs out of my sight when we are outside so I will do the same with your babies. I am very observant and attentive. I also believe that if your dog doesn’t like someone then you probably shouldn’t either.

About: I’ve always grown up around dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and etc. A dog is more than just an animal, they are a part of the family. Im a dental assistant and love helping people achieve the confidence to smile again. Im 22 years old and still live with my parents so this is a great side hustle to save money to move out eventually. At home we have a basset hound named Maggie that’s three years old, an Australian Shepard named Ranger that is also three years old, a Yorkie Shih Tzu named Trixie that is about 15 years old (yeah I know she’s basically deaf and blind but old girl is still kicking it), and then two cats that we rescued on the side of the road named Stormi & Klondike! I also have chickens & ducks! Let me dogsit your fur baby 🥰 I’m currently working at a private dental office located in Staunton, IL Monday-Thursday. Usually when I dog sit for a family friend or just anyone in general I stay at their house with the dog(s) so they feel comfortable in their own environment. My work hours are as followed; Monday & Thursday: 7-4pm (lunch 12-1pm) Tuesday 8-6pm (lunch 1-2 or 2-3pm) and Wednesday 7-1pm. I am a reliable and a caring person to watch your fur babies! I usually stay at the clients house so the pet is in a familiar environment and won’t get over stimulated. Every dog is different and so I usually meet the clients and/or the dog(s) so they are somewhat familiar with me and aren’t frightened by a stranger while their loved ones are away.

About: I have several years experience in animal care. I have worked at two different doggy daycare/boarding facilities and two animal hospitals. I can care for pets that need medications and special instructions. From walking, playing, bathing, and cuddling, I can handle cats/kittens, dogs/puppies and if requested can care for horses as well. Currently have several pets of my own, 7 dogs, 10 cats, 5 horses and 8 ducks. I currently work from home on my own schedule which means I am open anytime throughout the day to stop by for potty breaks, playtime and feedings. I have both dogs and cats of my own and understand how they are more family than pets. I go outside with them during potty breaks and make sure they have all of my attention.

About: I have had several dogs ever since I was young, and I continue to care for my two dogs when I return home from university. I am in charge of feeding them, taking them outside, and bathing them, when necessary. I am tentatively planning to reapply for my summer retail job, so my schedule may vary. My summer break will begin soon, so I will not be working immediately, so I will have plenty of time every day for pet care. My family has a fenced yard with plenty of space for a dog to run around. We also have two Labrador retrievers who love to play with other dogs.

About: I grew up on a horse farm and have been an animal lover all of my life. I have raised dogs, cats, horses, sheep and even ferrets. I have a lot of experience with high energy and large dog breeds (owning two Australian Shepherds myself). Pets love my bubbly and caring personality. I promise to treat your pet(s) as if they were my own. I take pet care and pet ownership very seriously. Leaving a pet can cause stress for both the owner and the pet. Let me be the person you can rely on to take the upmost care of your furry friend while you are away. I am very flexible with my availability and feel free to PM me with any questions you have before booking. Thank you :) I work full time (9-5) as a lab supervisor in St Charles, MO. I do have about an hour commute both ways so M-F will be the most time your pup would have to wait for a potty break. Otherwise I’m an absolute homebody and love to spend time with my own pets and meet new ones! We have an open 2 acre yard complete with a leashed dog run. We can easily accommodate a crate trained pup as well. I have a super friendly Aussie and a cat who would keep your pets company during the work week.
