Dog Walkers in Harness, IL

“Our puppies love Glen. Because they’ve been walking with him on a regular basis, their muscles are strong and they walk around with a newfound confidence. They have been able to walk farther and farther with each subsequent walk, which makes all of us happy.”

“Katie is WONDERFUL!! Wags, my overweight beagle (who lets me live there with my cat Top!) is already showing signs of having more energy. When I come home, he is bouncing up and down to meet me. It has been a while since he had this energy; I know it’s ALL because of Katie walking Wags! Besides this, Wag’s loves Katie and didn’t give me a second look when she came for him!!!♥️♥️”

About: I’ve worked in vet clinics and for the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, giving me hands-on experience with pet health, behavior, and emergencies. As a former vet assistant, I helped with surgeries, medications, and cared for pets of all ages—including seniors and post-op patients. At poison control, I worked directly with vets and pet owners to assess toxic exposures and guide treatment. Outside of work, I’m a high-energy, animal-loving farm girl with a big heart and a great sense of humor. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of love, playtime, and photo updates while you’re away. I work full-time as a Crop Consultant, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for pets. I treat every animal like my own, with safety, love, and attention to detail always top of mind. Safety and trust come first. I follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved, whether in your home or mine. With my vet clinic and poison control experience, I’m confident handling meds, emergencies and all personalities. You’ll get regular photo updates and peace of mind every step of the way.

About: We have taken care of all kinds of animals for as long as we can remember. We recently raised a litter of 9 Australian Sheppards in my home. We also have a lot of experience with cats! We are reliable and caring people. True animal lovers. Everyone that knows us knows that we spoil our dogs and treat them like family (probably even better). I am a CNA of 3 years and currently in nursing school. My boyfriend, Skyler, (who grew up on a farm) will also help care for your fur baby. We do not have a fenced yard but we have a long dog run that runs from one end of my yard to the other. We live in the country on 1.5 acres. We would love to take your dog on a walk and explore the woods behind my house! We have two friendly dogs (they love cats too) that will be your animal’s new best friend! We will treat your dogs like they are apart of our family. No crates or cages unless told to. We have several comfy couches and beds for your dogs to take naps on. They will love their stay with us!

About: I am a Certified Pet Sitter-Dog Walker and insured and bonded. I've been taking care of animals most of my life. I've worked with animal shelters and transport teams to help get dogs to their forever home. My schedule is flexible, and I would love to fill my free time with caring for your pets. I know we all have busy schedules and sometimes are unable to give our pets our full attention. I'd like to help you with that so your pet can get all the attention they deserve. <3 Making sure your pets stay happy, healthy and safe in my care is my number one priority. When it comes to working in a client's home, I am always respectful of their house rules and routines.

About: I have 5 dogs in my household that I have trained and taken care of when my family goes out of town for soccer, I am more than happy to cater to your babies as well! I am currently working part time at a trampoline park, so recently business has been slow. Many people are asking for more hours, but there is so much the business can do. I am no opening my options up to pet sitting, because I love animals and I am glad to see families that love there pets as well! I let dogs/puppies out every 2 hours. My personal dogs eat twice a day, but depending on how the clients feeding schedule I can feed as wanted. Water is always available to them. They will get play time with there potty breaks as well.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life as my family always had a dog. I have helped raise puppies and taken care of all dogs, indoor and outdoor. I have so much fun with dogs and love taking them with me on walks! I currently am a college students who has class during the days, but my classes only take around 3 hours a day. On thursdays, I do have a job I work during the day from 7 am- 3pm. I also do have a part time job that’s schedule changes week to week but currently I’m not working much there! Regardless if you let your dog out in your yard without a leash, I will be requiring a leash (if there are no fences) to keep your dog safe and others around safe. I especially think play time and walking tim are important for animals and their health! I will not be someone who pops in and out super fast and I will build a connection with your pets!

About: Hi, I’m Lilia! I’ve been caring for pets for over seven years and absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds. During the school year, I work in education, but in the summer, I dedicate my time to helping families care for their pets while they’re away or busy. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or other furry (or feathered!) friends, I’m reliable, gentle, and always attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I’m based in both Normal, IL and Chicago, and I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine to keep them feeling safe and happy in your absence. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I’m currently available Monday through Wednesday and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I’m able to plan my day around each pet’s specific needs. I enjoy spending time outdoors and find pet care to be one of the most rewarding parts of my week. I always care for pets as if they were my own—whether I’m in my home or theirs. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and regular feedings, and I always keep their environment clean and cozy. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I create a calm and welcoming space with access to water, toys, and a comfy place to rest. I also stay in touch with pet parents with regular updates and photos so they know their furry friend is in good hands.

About: I have spent my entire life caring for animals. Throughout my life I have had many animals from birds and Guinea pigs to cats and dogs. Koda, my youngest dog was completely trained by me in German commands. Working with dogs to learn new things is one of my favorite things to do. My oldest dog, Motley is a senior and the past couple years I have become very educated and trained on administration of medication and post surgery care. With experience from my own pets, I have many reliable references I have gained over the years that can vouch for me on my loving, dedicated, and superior care with their fur babies. I am currently a nanny and have almost completely open availability. I work Monday through Thursday during the day but can still do visits anytime! And I’m off Friday through Sunday so anytime those days as well! When visiting your home I am happy to provide any services you may need for your pet. This includes special feeding instructions, medication distribution, daily walks, baths, guaranteed playtime, and more all while treating them as my own with so much love! I am also happy to do drop in visits while you are at work or walks to get your babies steps in.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life. We have always had dogs and cats while I was growing up, each one I loved dearly. My sister and I also had cockatiels and a hamster! I have pet sat for numerous friends and family, ranging from cats and dogs, to chickens and horses! I have no problem with giving meds if your pet needs as well! Anything your pet needs, I will do my best to provide. I currently reside with my partner, our two cats, and one dog, in Chicagoland area. I am currently going to school online, so I can work around this every day. I will have plenty of time to spend with and take care of your furry loved ones! I am very accommodating to anything your pet needs, especially in the comfort of his or her own home. That way, your loved one will feel more secure and feel less anxious during your outing!

About: I have always taken care of my families pets. When I was 5 I rescued a small kitten. It needed a lot of care and attention. I bottle fed her and made sure she got all her medications. When I turned 19 I was able to get my first dog. He is a high energy bundle of fluff and love. He injured his leg. I made sure that he received extra care and attention so that he could get back to chasing off those dangerous squirrels again. 😅. I believe pets are an important part of anyone's family, and I love seeing them happy. I am pretty open as far as my schedule goes. Looking to make this a career. Message me and we can set up a time. I will work with you. I am open for a long term arrangement. I can make sure your pet spends time outside. We will go for a walk. I can make sure they have plenty of food and water, as well as any medication they need. I can also give them a bath if you would like. I want to make sure they have a fulfilling playful experience.

About: I believe in providing care to your loved animals at an affordable price. I have grown up and have always lived with dogs and cats! From puppies/kittens to old age, I’ve experienced it all! I have two pups and a cat on my own that bring me much joy. I promise to take care of your furbabies as my own and provide the best care so you don’t have to worry while away! I currently work full time but can make my own schedule for the day allowing me time to check on your animals when need be! I have a fenced in yard on a 5 acre property where there is a lot of room for play! I have friendly animals that will love the company! I can also crate the animals if need be and keep all animals separated!

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, growing up with dogs, cats, birds, and even lizards. My mom was an animal lover, and I’ve followed in her footsteps. I helped my dad with his three cats that my mom used to care for before she passed, driving an hour every week for grooming and bathing (one of them is a bit oversized!). I’d love to care for your beloved pet. Although I can’t have pets of my own due to my wife’s allergies, this makes pet sitting my dream job! I regularly care for my father’s cat, Jack, traveling over an hour each way, so distance is not an issue for me. I work seasonally for a cemetery in Bloomington which leaves me laid off from December 1st to March 1st each year. So I am highly available in that 3 month span, and then on weekends during the rest of the year. I’m here to support you and your beloved pet. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and the people who care for them. When my wife mentioned pet sitting, I was excited to get involved right away. Dogs seem to love me, and cats generally tolerate me—which I think says a lot about my character! I’m reliable, trustworthy, and available when you need me. I’ve been caring for pets since I was young, helping neighbors with feeding, walking, and cleanup. I promise to provide the care and attention your pet deserves and be a great fit for you both!

About: I have experience with all kinds of pets. From reptiles, felines, and mixed breed pups, to Pit Bulls and German Shepherds. I love them all 🫶🏾 I work from home for a minimal contact tech company. After my little ones leave for school at 8:30 AM, my schedule is completely flexible. We miss having fur babies around and will treat them as part of our family. I have mild mannered boys 8 and 6 that love nature and animals.

About: I was a trained volunteer dog walker for 3 years while I pursued my undergraduate degree. In graduate school, for 4 years, I was the designated pet sitter for the graduate students, several faculty, and various people in Carbondale, IL. Now, I am the first person my friends, family, and acquaintances call when they need a pet sitter or someone to walk their dogs during the day. I've met many people in Peoria through recommendations to watch their homes and care for their pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, all types of cats with different temperaments and needs, and some experience with rodents as well. I have also made house calls to help bathe dogs, clip their nails (cats too if needed!), brush their teeth, and other grooming needs. I am committed to doing my absolute best to care for your pets in any and all ways needed whether that's a long walk several times each day, a hike, an afternoon cuddle, a dance session in the kitchen, belly rubs, chin scratchies, or just someone to constantly shower your pet with love and joy while you're away doing what you need! I am the owner of Radish Kitchen in Peoria, and my schedule is very flexible. I am able to step away as often as needed throughout the day as long as I have at least 2 days notice on what your pets needs will be. If I am staying the night at a house it is very simple to make my way there after work. If I am leaving in the afternoon or several times throughout the day I can do so. My schedule is flexible and can be as accommodating as needed with enough notice. I have a dog and three cats at my own home. We have a fenced in yard, but I also walk my dog at least 4 times every day. My cats have plenty of places to nap, run, play, and watch birds throughout our home.

About: My pet care experience consists of having a dog throughout my childhood and adult years. I've always loved the companionship of owning a dog and also visiting or babysitting families and friends' dogs/cats. With having a dog comes a lot of responsibility and attention whether that's feeding, letting outside, physical activity, and training. I'm experienced in all of those qualities. The pet care that I will be using through the new dogs and cats I meet are the basics of giving treats, going for walks, and playing fetch or ball. Those basics are important and useful for dog caregivers because any dog would love the attention and care that you are giving them unconditionally. I'm also experienced in grooming with bathing the pet if needed. Whether that's outside with a hose and soap or inside in a bathtub. Dogs are my best friends and should be treated with love and companionship therefore I would treat the dog and make sure they are happy and comfortable but also safe and calm at all times. My schedule is very flexible and in the case of babysitting or walking a dog, I will be attentive and responsible. Since I currently have a dog at home I take her outside frequently, stay outside with her and walk around the backyard or throw a toy and play fetch or even just sit in the grass and give her belly rubs. My daily routine consists of letting my dog outside and hanging out with her off and on while also letting her have time to rest and chill by herself. My weekly routine is the same as my daily routine aside from additional car rides, pup cups, or cousin visits with other dogs. The safety, trust & Environment of the care for the pet in my home and or my client's home will consist of making sure all doors are shut when entering and exiting the home or garage. Also making sure the dog is on a leash and well equipped when walking through a neighborhood. I also have a fenced-in yard so I'm experienced with fences and the proper precautions if needed. I can easily create your dog too if needed. Also water supply and refilling the water bowl as needed and giving supplements or medicine also. Also will have the clients contact information in case of emergency.

About: I have always had dogs growing up. Now I have 3 of my own! I do have extensive history caring for dogs outside of my own, I have worked in a shelter environment for quite some time. I do have complete experience in knowing how to manage multiple dogs and multiple dog personalities and breeds. I will care for your dog beyond measure and show them so much love! My ultimate goal is to have my own dog rescue. I will have mostly open availability during the week, so please feel free to reach out with date requests! I am free anytime on the weekends. I will care for your pup in whatever ways you request. Whether that is in my home stays or house sitting in the environment they are comfortable with!
