Dog Walkers in Highland, IL

“Super friendly and great communication. Thank you for taking time to walk our dogs.”

“Nikki has been a large part of my father's dog's life, Sophie. Sophie has been an energetic and loving dog her entire 9 years, so it's difficult to keep up with her. Nikki has always been going above and beyond to help take care of Sophie for my father. Whether it's multiple feedings, sleeping with Sophie during bad weather or when the pup is sick, or going for daily long walks to help Sophie blow off some puppy energy. Along with her excellent dog care, Nikki has always been a magnificent individual. She is very social and always willing to go the extra mile for anyone.”

About: I always had a dog growing up and have had my own dog, Sadie, since 2018. I love all dogs and have taken care of dogs for neighbors as well. I am currently working part time for the summer as a music therapist so I can’t wait to meet some new doggos! Afternoon walks are my jam. When taking dogs for walks, I always make sure they are in their leash/harness properly before heading out and hitting the streets! Treats afterwards are always fun, too!

“Kelly has been a friend for 10+ years. An avid dog lover and is someone you can trust. Kind and gentle with dogs as well.”

“We brought our dogs to her for a week and the dogs were well cared for and the price was really reasonable. We will definitely be bringing our dogs here again for future use! Thank you again for your quick response and taking care of our pups.”

About: I've always pet sat for my friends and family. I started when I was in high school. I sincerely just love animals and it makes me happy to help others being around pets. I just do Doordashing in my free time. So I can work the two apps around each other! I started Rover last year but stopped to try other things instead and take care of my health more. I'm currently down 110lbs and ready to take care of your beautiful animals! I have my two cats right now. I'm also the one my friends and family always ask to take care of their pets when on vacation. I'm the type of person to stop and move the turtle out of the road or help a lost dog find it's way back home.

“Amber was great with Gus! She walked him longer than I asked & brought him back to me tired and happy. I will definitely use her again ?”

“I can’t recommend Krystal enough as a dog sitter and caregiver! She is such a natural connection with animals and it’s clear how much she loves and respects them. I’ve seen firsthand how she goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for. Whether it’s playing with them, taking them on walks, or making sure they’re comfortable at all times, she always shows so much attention to detail. You can tell she genuinely cares about the well-being of every pet they look after. If you want someone who’s trustworthy, reliable, and treats your furry friend like family, Krystal is your go-to girl!”

“Amazing experience. Gabby was a very easy going and cared well for our dogs. She is a professional and I highly recommend her. Once you meet her, your mind will be at ease knowing your pets and safe and sound in her care. Great communications throughout the experience. 100% recommend and will call on 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!”

“What truly sets Ian apart from other pet sitters I've had is their playful spirit and ability to connect with any animal they come across. Ian worked for me for about 6 months as I worked in St. Louis for well over 12 hours a day, away from my German Shepherd, Diego. Diego is a wary dog, usually having to be on a leash with a small flag on his harness urging people not to interact. He protects me and tends to guard against anyone coming too close. Don't get me wrong, Diego is a loveable dog who can be very playful but doesn't usually like strangers. When he first met Ian, Diego was standoffish and careful. Still, he soon became a loveable, jovial puppy, almost jumping around, dancing, and immediately bringing his favorite, well-worn lamb out for the young man to play with. I was pleasantly surprised at how well I found his walks and how clean I saw his pen area when I returned from work. He was always given fresh water and food and taken for nearly an hour-long walk. Ian is handicapped and uses a mobility scooter when taking the animals for walks, so he told me, and this kept Diego from running too far ahead. In some ways, he became just as protective over his sitter as he does to me.”

“Rachel great! We really appreciate her willingness to regularly walk two dogs, both of which need to learn a bit more leash etiquette. We highly recommend Rachel for your pet care needs!”

About: I have taken care of many pups throughout the years. I have helped with pups for family, friend and neighbors for few hours to days at a time. I am currently not working, therefore I have open availability. I can stay in your home with your fur babies. This way the fur babies will be happier in their own space. I do not have a fenced yard. I will be outside with the fur babies and I will walk the fur babies too in the area.

About: I pride myself on very little, but I have always prided myself in my patience and perspective when it comes to animals. I promise to care for your companions as my own. I have college classes Monday through Wednesday until mid-afternoon. And I love to be outside otherwise so I’m usually on a walk good weather permitting I am available for whatever routine works best for your animals in your home. I encourage a good amount of play and enrichment as it’s good for physical and mental health of the animals.

“Phillip is such an amazing young man. KUDOS to whoever raised him in this generation. My little Devyn just loves him and so do I . He texted exactly on time and was here exactly on time. I will be booking him weekly. Thanks Phillip”

“Angie is trustworthy, dependable, and as friendly as they come. I honestly schedule my vacations around her schedule, to make sure my babies (1 crazy puppy and 1 moody cat) are in great hands while I'm away. I recommend her to all of my family and friends that need pet care.”

About: Pet mom looking to care for other dogs and cats, as well as chickens, goats, and other animals as needed! I have two dogs and three cats of my own, and have experience raising small livestock on a hobby farm. My animals are all very loved and very spoiled, and your babies will be no different! I am flexible and can adjust to most schedules. I know what it means to find someone who will care for your babies when you can't bring them along on trips, or when the workday is long and they need let out through the day, or just need belly rubs or extra attention until you're home. Can't wait to meet your babies! I work from home and have the flexibility to adjust to your schedule and needs. I am available all week, and open to discuss what works best! I will be coming to you to care for your pets in their own environment. I am able to feed, play with and walk your dog or cats, and even just sit with them. I will clean up messes in the house if needed, clean litter boxes, collect eggs, and anything else you may need. Would love to make sure you come home to happy pets!

About: Growing up my mom was a professional dog trainer so we always had different dogs in the house. I learned how to do everything from basic care to in depth trick training. My friends, family, and neighbors have always relied on my to care and train their dogs ever since I was young. I have a puppy, an almost 2 year old, and a senior dog in my own home so I am able to care for any age. I am currently a student but there is always someone available to care for the animals in my home. Typically I leave home by 8am and return by 1pm every week day. I am home in the evenings and all weekend. I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs that love to play. I have plenty of dog toys and bones to keep everyone busy and happy. All dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations in order to stay.

“Taylor is a gem! She does such a good job with our dog, sends me the cutest photos, and always keeps me up-to-date. I really appreciate it. It’s hard to trust just anyone with your pup; knowing Taylor is taking care of my Pepper keeps me at ease.”
