Dog Walking Hodgkins

“Jennifer was great — it’s clear her experience with all sorts of dogs and temperaments helped her give Indy a great walk and handle her reactivity to other dogs she saw along the way. She was on time, asked questions, and listened to any instructions or insights I offered on our dog’s quirks. Thanks Jennifer!”

“Isabell has been walking our puppy for almost two months on a weekly basis. She is always on time, reliable, and gives the most thorough updates every time she sees our puppy. Our puppy loves her and this is easily seen with the pictures we receive. I would HIGHLY recommend Isabell with your pets.”

About: There are a few things that set me apart from other sitters, one of them being that I have completed the Specialized Training Program at the Academy of Pet Careers. At the APC I learned to train dogs using positive reinforcement and learned about behavior and enrichment through their Pet Empowerment Program. I've also taken care of dogs my entire life. From walking, feeding, training and bathing, I have always been a helping hand to family, friends and coworkers when it comes to their pets. They've even dubbed me the Cool Dog Aunt! My mom became a groomer when I was young and I have been involved in the pet industry ever since, making me a great candidate to hangout with your furry friend! I am currently working from home, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your dogs. Need extended play time? No worries, I can do that too! I will take every precaution to keep your pup safe when I am visiting them. Whether it be double checking that gates/doors are locked, using provided, appropriate equipment for the dog and always taking care of them as if they were my own.

ᵔᴥᵔ Puppies, senior pets, anxious dogs & medications I've had pets my entire life and currently have two huskies who are a big part of my life. I've also cared for pets for family, friends, and neighbors, and I've volunteered at animal shelters, where I spent time with dogs of different ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. I know how stressful it can be to find someone you feel comfortable leaving your pet with. I’ll make each experience as easy and reassuring as possible. My goal is to eventually work with animals full-time, and Rover gives me the opportunity to do more of what I love while helping people in my community. I enjoy figuring out what makes each pet feel comfortable and loved! Adjusting to them instead of expecting them to adjust to me. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing outside, sticking to their usual routine, or simply having someone nearby, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable and gives you peace of mind. You'll receive regular updates and photos throughout each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! ․°𓃠•°․𓃦․• My Availability ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ ⟡ Weekday evenings (after school) ⟡ Weekends ⟡ Holidays ⟡ School breaks ⟡ Summer vacation 𓆉°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ I'm flexible, responsive, and believe in open communication, so you'll always have peace of mind while your pet is in my care! Your pet's safety is always my top priority. On walks, I stay alert to our surroundings, use secure leash handling, and tailor each walk to your pet's pace and comfort level. In your home, I'll respect your space, follow your care instructions and routines, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable.

“Dolla was excited to see Angela the moment she saw her and I knew it would be a good fit for us. Angela is nice and has a pleasant demeanor and I will work with her again”

About: I’m an animal lover and long time cat mom to rescues. I’ve been pet sitting since I’ve been a teen. Most of my pet sitting jobs have come from families that I babysit for or referrals. I have amazing references. I’m comfortable with all dog breeds and sizes. I enjoy long walks and nature. I’m trustworthy, reliable, dedicated, loving and caring. I treat everyone’s pets as if they were my own. I take pride in walking, feeding, and providing endless affection to all pets. I always provide extra love and care for my clients fur-babies! I have no problem collecting mail or packages, tending to the garden or flowers, and keeping the house tidy. If given the opportunity to care for your pet and/or Home, I will provide the best care possible.

About: I am a life-long dog lover, and current Pomeranian owner (Pom-mom). I have a fenced in yard and live near a park with a cute walking path. Your pup will be comfortable in my home and can sleep wherever you'd like, whether that be in his/her crate, in a spare room of mine, or on my couch!I will care for your dog as if they were my own and make sure his or her stay with me is an enjoyable and anxiety-free as possible. I also have experience fostering and have fostered senior dogs with special needs. I work from home as does my husband so someone is always home with your pup. We can follow any schedule your dog is used to. We have no kids, so for those pups that don’t do too well with young ones, we’re a perfect option. Our Pom is dog loving and plays well with other dogs. I would like for them to meet prior if possible to ensure both dog’s get along well.

“Thank you! She took very good care of my highly anxious dog and worked well with him. I would definitely recommend her and book her again 🙂‍↕️”

About: Hi, I’m Jhadira! 👋 I recently experienced a layoff from my corporate HR career, so I’m taking this opportunity to spend my time doing something I truly love, caring for dogs! I’m located in the La Grange area and have a large, fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe, supervised playtime. I share my home with my two spoiled pups, Charlie and August, and I also help care for my family’s senior dog, Tony. Caring for dogs through every stage of life has taught me that each one has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. I have over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes potty training puppies, working with high-maintenance dogs, caring for puppies undergoing treatment for intestinal worms and other temporary medical needs, administering oral medications, basic obedience training for both puppies and older dogs, walking and running with active dogs, and providing extra patience and specialized care for senior dogs. Whether your dog is full of energy, needs a little extra attention, or enjoys a slower pace, I’m happy to tailor my care to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m also training for a half-marathon myself so if your dog needs that outdoor exercise I would gladly love the company on my runs! As a dog mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. That’s why I treat every dog as if they were my own. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my highest priorities. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely, provide regular photo and video updates, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and enrichment while you’re away. Over the years, I’ve also built relationships with wonderful local pet professionals. If you ever need recommendations, I’m happy to share trusted groomers and veterinarians that I’ve had great experiences with. Whether your pup loves long walks, backyard zoomies, playing fetch, learning new tricks, or curling up for a nap, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! Open schedule, I have my own two dogs I look after but have all day to drop in for a walk or to check in on yours! I have a tight schedule with my own dogs and will make sure to make your fur baby feel as safe and loved as if they were home.

About: I've grown up with dogs all of my life. From puppies to seniors, small and big, I've taken care of them all. I've taken care of my dogs after surgeries and kept them comfortable and assisted them getting around safely. I have completed dog training classes with dogs and have taught them tricks! I have a huge place in my heart for all dogs and will take care of your dogs like they're my own! I am currently a stay at home mom with our 5 year old son. I would be available to take care of your dog(s) throughout the day. Israel, Jaxson and I live in a house with a fenced in yard with our 9 year old dog Sophie, a Wheaten Terrier. We love meeting new dogs and enjoy seeing our dog friends return for another visit! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions! I am a Stay At Home Mom with a 5 year old son and our dog, so I am available throughout the day to take care of any new dog friends. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company and stay active. We have gates we can put up while dogs eat to keep them separated and safe.

About: Fostered cats and dogs with the Central Missouri Humane Society for about three years, all ages and capable of medicine distribution if needed. Have lived with cats my whole life, very familiar with the care they need. Occasionally pet sitter for friends and family throughout the years, including staying the night and daytime visits/walks! New to the Brookfield area and have a part time job with a different schedule every week, Mondays and Tuesdays are guaranteed open for me to assist in pet care needs! At home I've always helped clean litter boxes for my family cats and when dog walking picking up poop, as well as playing fetch and belly rubs! I always try to make sure the pet is comfortable and trusts me to ensure a positive environment while their humans are busy.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I am currently working full time so my time currently is limited. I am available Friday nights, Saturdays and Sundays. All day Saturdays and Sundays Be patient and calm with pets that are withdrawn or scared. Pets are sensitive to change and may be missing their people; maintain their schedule as much as possible. When the pet is feeling comfortable, send pictures to the client, letting them know you're giving them extra attention.

“Destiny is seriously the best. Always keeps me updated on the babies- even on my kitties at home who are hanging out! I work 12 hours at a time so having these updates makes my heart happy. She’s the best.”

About: I work professionally in animal welfare and currently serve as an Adoption Manager at a humane society, where I handle dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities, backgrounds, and behavior needs. Before moving into management, I worked directly in animal care and adoptions, and I also have previous professional experience in dog walking, pet sitting, and kennel care. What sets me apart is my behavior-focused approach. I use reward-based, low-stress handling and pay close attention to body language, comfort, and individual needs rather than treating every animal the same. I’m comfortable working with puppies, energetic dogs, shy or cautious pets, and animals who need a little extra patience or structure. With puppies, I’m happy to reinforce the routines and cues you’re already working on, including potty habits, leash manners, calm behavior, and basic skills. I can also provide enrichment, structured play, feeding, and routine care for both dogs and cats. My goal is to give you more than basic supervision. I want your pet to feel safe, understood, and genuinely well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time in animal welfare, so pet care is already a major part of my daily routine. I keep my Rover availability intentionally limited so I can give each pet my full attention rather than overbooking myself. I’m generally available throughout the day on Mondays for walks, drop-in visits, puppy care, and cat care. I’m also available on weekend evenings, typically after 6 PM, for walks, feeding, medication, playtime, and evening drop-ins. Because my schedule is consistent, I’m especially happy to work with recurring Monday clients or families who need reliable weekend-evening care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep their environment and routine as familiar as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, double-check doors, gates, harnesses, and leashes before outings, and never take unnecessary risks with a pet’s safety. I use reward-based, low-stress handling and pay close attention to body language. I won’t force interactions or use aversive equipment or punishment. If a pet seems uncomfortable, overstimulated, or unsure, I adjust the activity and give them the space or support they need. On walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and choose routes appropriate for the individual dog rather than assuming every dog wants to greet people or other animals. In the home, I respect established boundaries, feeding routines, crate or confinement plans, and any management systems the owner already has in place. I also provide clear updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My priority is that both you and your pet feel comfortable with the care being provided.
