“I had a great experience with this dog walker! They were incredibly kind and patient with my senior dog Max, who’s 11 years old and moves at his own pace. It was clear they really cared—after the walk, they made sure Max had water and was comfortable before leaving. I really appreciate the extra attention to detail and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and gentle with older dogs.”

“Abigail is very sweet and made the process easy with fast and consistent communication. My dogs took to her immediately during the meet and great and she has since taken my dogs on walks. Will definitely use her again.”

About: I am a 5 year experienced veterinary technician who has worked primarily with small animals in multiple practices across the United States. I am currently enrolled in veterinary medical school pursuing my doctorate at UIUC in their college of veterinary medicine. In addition, I am a life-long pet owner myself! I grew up with dogs in a variety of sizes, as well as cats. As a veterinary student, I have classes in the morning and sometimes afternoon. This should not be a concern as I still have plenty of time to watch pets! We have multiple breaks through the day and I own a car. Classes never extend past 4:00 pm. So, I can travel to your pet and am fully open in evenings for long walks! I care for pets in the owners home! As a veterinary student, I am living in an apartment which is not always the appropriate place for watching certain large-sized dogs. I also have a cat of my own who is terrified of dogs!

“I always come home to such a happy dog after she’s had a walk with Taylor that day! I’m so appreciative of how consistent Taylor is, and how kind and patient she is with my little old dog.”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life; I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m the person who happily hangs out with pets at parties. I have experience with pets who need daily medication and extra TLC, especially senior animals or those with chronic conditions. Whether it’s a slow stroll or high-energy zoomies, I adjust to what your pet needs most. While I don’t have a yard, I do live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with a fully fenced dog park just steps away—perfect for safe off-leash play! I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they’re my own. Can’t wait to meet yours 💕 I work full-time from home with a very flexible schedule, which means I’ve got plenty of time to shower your pet with attention, walks, snuggles, and play. I’m also a bit of a homebody, so your pup will rarely—if ever—be left alone. If your pet thrives on company and routine, we’ll get along great! I take multiple walks every day and would be happy to match your pup’s routine—whether they love long strolls, quick potty breaks, or both. At home, your dog is welcome on the couch and the bed (plenty of room for snuggles!), but if you'd prefer they stick to their own space, I’m happy to keep those boundaries consistent. Whatever makes your dog feel safe, relaxed, and at home, I’m here for it. If it makes you more comfortable, you're more than welcome to request a meeting with me well in advance of any booking so that you can ensure that my home will be a good fit.

About: I strongly believe that our furry loved ones deserve the upmost care while we're away. This can be fostered through a variety of pet sitting services, but for me, I love to help out by offering drop-in visits and in-home sitting. I've been pet sitting for over 6 years, and I've had cats and dogs my entire life (currently 4 cats and 2 dogs)! Taking care of animals is one of my passions, and I’m grateful I’ve had the opportunity to further develop it through pet sitting. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Hope to see a message from you soon! 😁🐶🐱 Facebook Pet Sitting Page- Emma F's Pet Sitting I am attending college and have a part-time job, but I have many breaks during the day and look forward to making time for pet sitting. I pride myself in doing the best work possible to ensure an animal’s safety and comfortability in their own home. I stay in contact with pet parents and ask questions as they arise to make sure their furry friends are doing well.

About: Ive been around dogs a lot. I have 3 of my own. One named Hope. She’s more active, and needs alot of playtime. So I’m definitely good at managing that. One name is Oakley, he likes to be babied and cuddled. Ones name is Hank, and he is just the chillest dog haha. I already have dogs so I work 24/7 with my own. I have a lot of time on my hands so I’m free whenever. Anytime you just need a break I can come help, when you’re gone. I’ll do it. I give baths, I walk them, I play ball/fetch with them. I take them potty, feed them, give them treats. I do all the things it takes to take care of a dog, the same way you would treat a baby.

“Esther is an excellent dog walker! She is thoughtful, respectful and loves our dog. We are very pleased with her and will continue to use her services.”
