Dog Walking in Macomb

“Jess is dependable and trustworthy. It's very nice to know that she's taking care of my dog. I will certainly ask her to take care of my dog again.”

“Really nice and caring! Has had dogs for many many years and really loves them. She has watched our dogs a bunch of times and they always have a great time with her! Would definitely recommend”

“Emily has been so wonderful to our dogs! You can tell she really cares. I’m pretty sure she got them a new toy even :) She always leaves the house nicer than we left it which is the cherry on top. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

“I had a Belgian Malinois named Cheyenne and whenever she came by to take care of her it was the best experience my beautiful dog ever had. She would play with her constantly, give her tons of attention and was careful with her when need be because of my dogs old age. The experience she brought to the table with her knowledge of working at a vet clinic and animal shelter really helped her with knowing how to care for my elderly dog and made her uniquely qualified for the job. If I still had Cheyenne I would ask her to come back time and time again.”

About: I’ve worked as a boarding and daycare supervisor for the top daycare/boarding agencies in Des Moines for 3+ years. I worked for Stylin Paws Play Place and Downtown Doggy Daycare. I sat for neighbors and friends growing up. I’ve also worked in the caregiving field for 8+ years. I’ve worked in senior care, as well as with children with developmental disabilities. I’m currently out of town taking care of my grandparents, after my grandfathers open heart surgery. He’s in a stable place so my availability is all day, each day of the week. I only have classes on Saturday and Sunday from 4pm-5pm but those are done over zoom. I have more than enough time and love to go around! I promise I will provide your pets with a safe, caring, loving environment. Whatever you ask, I will do my best to provide. I will take care of your pets with the same compassion, I give to all animals and people. I will provide your pets with a new best friend, they’ll look forward to seeing!

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child and been the one to care and mantain them. I’ve trained 2 puppies who were potty trained and knew commands. I’ve administered flea medicine. I am currently doing GrubHub and I would create my schedule around my rover schedule so I could be home as much as possible. I would prefer when not boarding at my home, to be doing Rover related activities during the day and GrubHub at night. While doing GrubHub I would be able to make stops to take pets on walks or to potty or to just say hi! I have an extremely large backyard and I also go on daily runs and house members who love animals with lots of love to give! I’m currently just doing Grub Hub and I make my own schedule and could base it around my Rover Schedule no problem, although I do require working Grub Hub from 5-11 Friday’s and Saturday’s but would still be able to drop ins! I have a huge unfenced in yard so a tether would be required but would have lots of room to run! Daily runs and lots of love!!

“Thanks so much. You are the best!”

About: I've been around animals the majority of my life; whether that's at the grandparents, cousins, family friends, or, even my house. I've always helped with taking them out, feeding them, playing with them, and even relaxing with them. A big part of my life, I was blessed to share with a Corgi named Angel; she was spirited, goofy, and sassy. We said goodbye to her in 2021, but welcomed a new furbaby into our home in the late summer of 2022: a golden retriever/yellow lab mix named Max. A total 180, right? Went from a small dog to this big gentle giant. If there's anything I love doing, it's sharing an adventure (no matter how big, or small) with my furry companions. I've learned over the years when to see a dog is uncomfortable vs when they are as cool as a cucumber. I've learned when it's time to go potty and to watch behaviors on it, and when to give them extra time for it (especially when they are older). Currently I am in Macomb, Il at WIU for school, and Max is at home with my fiance. When I come home, I walk Max when it is gorgeous outside, play with him to get that extra energy out, go on car rides where it's just running a small errand, and making sure he is groomed accordingly with his long hair and nails. So, currently I do not have a job, but when I am home for breaks I spend majority of my time with Max and taking care of him. I walk them outside to get any energy out and to get new smells in (and also for them to fully clean out), I play with them with their toys inside or out, and offer positive reinforcement with treats. I give them space and let them get to know me and become familiar with my scent.

“Mackenzie is a very smart, dedicated and outgoing person. Mackenzie is a full-time nursing student, and she works as a waitress at the country club and is a member of the air national guard. She is very athletic and smart and has a huge heart and love for animals. She would love to have her own when she is able to make time and isn't so busy with homework during the school year. She would be a huge asset to your team. She is reliable and dedicated to everything she does.”

About: I love all animals and I’ve taken care of all kinds! I consider pets family. I have experience with dogs who have special needs as well no dog goes unwatched! My schedule is open all days of the week, at all hours. Feel free to message me with questions you may have. 🐾 if you have a special routine with your animals that is no problem. I have a fenced in yard, no children and a friendly neighborhood. All animals I take in I treat as if they were my own. Exercise is very important, while you pets stay we make sure they get tons of it so when you pick them up they are tired and ready for bed one picked up! We give lots of treats, and attention! I am able to give oral medication and have experience with shot medication. I care for pets full time in my home! I can provide frequent potty breaks and lots of attention. I’m home 24/7 unless needing to run to the store or errands, when I leave the dogs are out not my dog rooms or if I feel there is no threat from them roaming the house I will leave them to relax in the living room. While boarding dogs are able to roam freely unless giving specific instructions, I have a dog myself which they are kept completely separate all dogs are let outside in a rotation to keep things safe and easy! The safety of your pets are my #1 priority. I do not crate animals unless giving the instructions to do so, I’ve realized crating them during boarding can add unneeded stress. We love cuddles but we know personal space every dog is treated with respect and depending on body language is treated different dogs are very good about body language, letting you know when and when you shouldn’t bother them!

About: Love, caring and fun!!! My favorite thing to do is go on walks in the fresh air with dogs. I have always had a dog with breeds all over the map. My favorite breed is a husky but still love my Yorkshire terriors. 26 years of dog care. It is a pleasure having a dog to always rely on to make your day great. Your dog will feel super comfortable and you will feel safe having a reliable pet sitter. Dogs really are the best companion to have that brings an instant smile always. Count on me to always keep your dog safe. I hope to ease your mind knowing that your dog will have a good time. Can't wait to meet your fur baby. :)

“Did an amazing job!! My dog seemed very happy when she returned?”
