Dog Walkers in Justice, IL

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 10 years now. I’ve taken care of many dogs from my moms clients dogs, my family dogs, my sisters dog and her friends dogs. This is something that I enjoy doing and I will make sure that I give the care that your dog deserves. To keep them entertained and engage with them. I’m currently working part time. So I have plenty of time on my hands and my schedule is very flexible! I also have a car so I haven’t problem commuting. I have a big fenced yard to keep your fur ball safe and a lot of room for them to run around. I’m very detail oriented so I’ll follow any schedule you give me and keep their dietary needs in mind.

About: I've owned and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. Professionally, I have experience working as a dog handler, kennel attendant, dog bather, and groomer. I also have extensive experience working and caring for cats, horses, and various small animals. My +3 years working at a dog daycare facility had me safely handling a pack of up to 25 dogs; providing exercise & engagement, soft corrections, and positive reinforcement. To do so, it was necessary to be observant and in tune with the dog's behavior and always on the lookout for any signs of stress or aggression. As a bather and groomer, I was focused on hygiene but a large aspect of the job relied on my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. I've owned cats my entire life and have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and adopted. I also have pet care insurance with animal baliee coverage in case of emergencies. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable and loved. I work part-time on the night shift, so I'm usually out of the house between 9:30pm and 2am Monday through Friday. Outside of that- my schedule is flexible. I am available on most weekends and holidays. I only book one client at a time for pet sits and boarding, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a huge, unfenced yard. I own a variety of animal care supplies and equipment.

“Amanda was amazing with my high energetic golden retrievers! Gus and Walter absolutely loved her!! She did great with them! Will definitely use her services again!”

About: Hi! I go by Anna. REACTIVE DOGS WELCOME! I started volunteering with animals when I was 10 years old, and it's been a part of my life ever since. I have a soft spot for cats & dogs who need a little help with socialization and training. I have experience with a vast variety of dog breeds, sizes, and needs - from miniature pinchers, to border collies, huskies, pitbulls, cane corsos and more! I also have 5+ years of experience working in behavior analysis, and am well-versed in reinforcement-based training. I work from home full-time with flexibility in my working hours. I don't currently have any pets of my own, which allows me to provide the ideal environment for dogs or cats who may need a quieter space or one-on-one attention. NO SIZE OR BREED RESTRICTIONS! I am home the majority of the time, though I may leave for 1-2 hours weekly to run errands. I do have crates available for pets who need them when home alone. I use pet-safe cleaning products and anything that may be potentially harmful is safely out of reach - I don't take risks. All of my windows have screens & I've mastered the art of entering a home without letting any curious animals escape. My apartment building has a pretty big yard, though is only fenced in on 3 sides. However, I am idealy located near miles of dog-friendly trails that can be reached on foot. I also prefer to use harnesses for dog walking as opposed to just collars, and have one available that can fit a dog up to 65lbs. I do NOT and will not use choke collars of any kind. For car rides: I do have and use a pet seat belt. Cats must be in carriers, which will also be attached the seat belt. Feel free to message me with any questions and safety and environment!

About: I am not one for many words and I think that makes me understand those whom don’t speak the same as the rest of us. I am currently working just in the mornings so my afternoons can be filled with sunshine and droll, along with the occasional squirrel watching/ chasing. I am a strict rule follower and I never will cross boundaries. That I can/ will assure you. I do not have a fenced yard.

About: I absolutely love animals. I have previously worked at a pet store where I had the responsibility of taking care of cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, reptiles, and exotic animals. I am heavily involved in the fitness world currently and I occasionally go to the gym and do my home workouts which my schedule can always be adjusted. Pet care will be no problem at all! Spacious fenced backyard. I can accommodate to any need that you or your pet may have. Your pet will never be alone and will have so much fun in my care. Frequent potty breaks and walks.

About: I have taken a dog behavior training at a local shelter. I have dog sat for family members for multiple days (in house and my home ) Unfortunately I work during the week. I am free Saturday and Sunday to pet sit or just to give your fur baby some love and attention for a couple hours while you’re away. I do not have pets of my own due to housing circumstances. While in a client’s home I ensure that all potentially dangerous items are out of reach and secure from the pets. I give pets their space when showing signs of distress. As well as make sure they have their favorite comfort items.

“Natalie was great with both of my puppy and my kitty! They loved her! She was punctual, professional, and extremely loving! I highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up with dogs and for the past 7 years I’ve been a cat mom. I have experience with dogs, cats, rodents and some reptiles. I’m an animal lover so it’s easy for me to adjust to new pets 😊 I’m currently doing school online and I do work part time but for the most part I can work around my schedule for your babies! I do not have a fence which is why I would not mind being in a client’s home. I would also love for your pet to feel comfortable where they know.

“Jennifer was a lifesaver for us in walking our pup while we were out of town. She was very flexible and accommodating and did a great job communicating updates throughout walks. Definitely recommend and will book again!”

About: Available on some weekdays and weekends, will incorporate lots of exercise and playtime, have years of experience with caring for dogs, like my dog Benji. I don’t prefer to do house-boarding just because my current family dog isn’t dog-friendly with others. Because I grew up without a dog and have always wanted one, I was hoping to fulfill that gap with caring for other dogs. I am responsible enough to ensure everything will go smoothly, and have a calm demeanor in case of emergencies. Having always been a dog lover, I can provide you with the service of being rest assured that the relationship between your dog and me will be a reciprocal and enjoyable one! No guarantees of feelings not becoming attached however! If you are looking for an involved, energetic playmate for your dog or simply a caretaker, I can be of generous service to you and your dog.

About: I treat every pup like my own. If your dog isn't napping or resting, we'll be active and engaged. That may include playing with their favorite toy, going on a walk, or getting plenty of belly rubs and pats. I believe dogs thrive on love, attention, and activity. Therefore, I make sure they're never bored or lonely. I'm currently a student at UIC with one class online and one class in person. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me plenty time for walks, drop-ins and overnight care. Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priorities. On walks, I let your pep lead the way so they can explore at their own pace. I love finding nearby parks where they can burn energy. It I'm caring for a pet in your home, I'll always follow your instructions closely to maintain their normal routine.

About: I currently work as a part time canine coach for one of the Dogtopia Franchises. However, when I’m not at work running play groups; you’ll find me right at home doing the same thing with my mini pack! I have many repeat clients who frequently book with me because their dogs love coming over :) I live near a beautiful park with pathways for walking. I have a family pup who absolutely loves other dogs and he comes over frequently so your pup will have a friend if I have to step out and run errands. I also have a medium/large crate in case your pup needs time to calm down or simply just wants private time.I take frequent trips to the dog park and maintain an active lifestyle according to your dogs physical needs. I work very early shifts (5 am - 1 pm) and my boyfriend works afternoons so he’s able to take out the pups for their morning potty and I make sure they get out at least 2 more times before the end of the day. Our schedules align well with having at least 1 person home at all times. Feed all dogs separately if multiple dogs are in my home. Access to water 24/7, I have multiple water bowls around my apartment. 1 cage in case someone needs private time. Trips to the dog park under owner's consent.

About: I am a dog lover who enjoys having fun with dogs. I am available for any and all of your pet’s needs. Your dog will have all the time for fun and exercise. I love dog walks, playing tug of war, fetch, and games like find the treat, toy, etc. Your dog will be well fed and walked to their hearts content. I am accommodating, any request you make can and will be followed through. I have a large fenced in yard and plenty of space inside my house for the colder months. Your pup is allowed on all the furniture, beds included. Playing is my favorite thing to do. But most importantly, I will treat your dog as it is my own. I am a college student so time is of the essence. I love dogs of all sizes, puppies included. I can pick up and drop your pet off if necessary for a small round trip fee. I care for my own pets everyday, their well-being is my well-being. I will surely care for your pet like my own whenever they are here. I make sure the pups are well fed, exercised, and mentally stimulated. By including my own dogs into activities I see the other pets become more comfortable to the point where they’re acting like my house is theirs.

“Melanie is amazing with my spicy puppy. He always gives her a mean side eye but she rolls with the punches and is able to get him out and moving. She’s so good with him! He may not show it on the outside but I know he loves her. She’s awesome! 🤩”
