Dog Walkers in Milan, IL

“Armani was great, my dogs loved going on walks with her. Will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve always loved caring for my pets and family’s pets growing up and it’s my favorite thing to do now! I am able to recognize that each dog is different, just like us, and I’m willing to give them the specific care they need! I’m currently at university as a college student, but finding the time to care for your pets is important to me! Having a routine is something I love so I’m happy to fit your pups into mine! I love being able to take dogs out on walks to experience things outside of their home, but playing in the yard with toys is always fun!

About: As a dedicated dog sitter, I offer a personalized and compassionate approach tailored to each pet's unique needs. With experience in puppy training, I help young dogs build essential habits. I focus on building trust with each dog, giving them the one-on-one attention they deserve. From playtime to gentle walks and administering medications when needed, my goal is to create a stress-free, happy environment so you can be confident your pet is in great hands. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I’m able to offer consistent, round-the-clock attention, with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles built right into my routine. My home is a pet-friendly space where dogs feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Because I’m here throughout the day, I can easily adjust to each pet’s unique schedule and needs, whether it’s for feeding, exercise, or a quiet moment to relax. When pets are in my home, I provide a cozy, secure space where they’re treated like family. They have access to safe, pet-friendly areas for playing, resting, and exploring, along with daily exercise tailored to their energy level. I maintain a structured routine for feeding, walking, and playtime, ensuring they feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routines intact to provide comfort and familiarity. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special requests.

About: I've worked in animal welfare for almost eight years. I was a shelter manager and later assistant director for two local shelters. When I worked at shelters, I was one of many primary care takers for between 80-150 cats and 8-15 dogs. I'd monitor wellness, provide enrichment, and provide all necessary medication for animals. I am vaccine certified and comfortable with dogs of any breed/size, cats, many small mammals and most birds. I work full time Monday through Friday. I have semi-flexible 8:00-5:00 work hours and an hour lunch. I work partially from home and can work from your home if needed. I am deeply familiar with any and all signs of illness in animals after having worked in animal shelters for so long. I can also read dog body language, I am fear-free certified and able to work with reactive pups. I will send frequent photos and updates, I know pets are family! I recognize I am a guest in your home and will follow any and all rules provided.

About: My family has had dogs my entire life, and I have always loved animals. As a child I was responsible for feeding and watering our dogs as well as giving potty breaks and as I grew older I got my own dog, a blue heeler named Mars, who has taught me a lot about training as well. I can do any size of dog, or really any animal. I've lived on a chicken farm with chickens and geese and peacocks as well as caring for a parakeet. I love cats and have done a lot of research on them to hopefully get one in the future. I've even worked with horses, and I'm very open to learning new things! I'm currently taking a gap year from college, so I will be returning to school next fall (2025). I work a full time job Thursday thru Monday so I will list the times I am typically *unavailable* below: Thurs/Fri: 8am-4pm Sat-Mon: 6am-2pm If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out! I'm happy to help :) I'm good about reading body language and can often tell what your pet needs/wants. I can play with them, feed/water them, and even bathe them! I've cleaned both large and small dogs, so I'm not afraid to get messy! I can do walks as well, I just need some information on what gets your pet riled so that I can make necessary adjustments.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of spending the past few years intimately caring for my two Pembroke Welsh Corgis, Milo and Millie. Milo was a puppy in 2020, which allowed me extra time to train and become comfortable with a broad spectrum of dog care. I am familiar with vet care, feeding and nutrition needs of canines, as well as mental and emotional needs of our furry family. I have been an animal lover my whole life, making me a great choice for your dog’s next walk! I’m finishing my bachelor’s degree by May 2025 and taking the summer off before starting graduate school in the fall! This means I have a very flexible schedule for all of your dog-walking needs. I am familiar with kennels and various leashes, collars, and harnesses, so I can seamlessly retrieve your pet from your home and provide quality exercise and outdoor time.

About: I've grown up caring for and loving all animals, including my own! I'm currently a pet parent to two cats and a dog-all three are spoiled rotten! My experience previously working at an animal shelter makes me comfortable distributing medicine to various pets. I have experience with diabetic animals and insulin. I additionally have experience caring for rabbits, ferrets, rats, birds and horses. I understand animal body language and make sure an animal is comfortable with me so I'm not pushing boundaries. I work as a freelance writer, so my schedule is flexible. This allows me to devote time to pets while still being able to work. I've had diverse experiences with different animals, big and small. I aim to provide comfort and care for your pets while you are gone. I am comfortable giving various medications and following any instructions.

About: I’ve dealt with and been around dogs my entire life. In August 2020, I adopted a dog with behavioral issues and have learned a lot on how to handle dogs that not everyone can. I’m also knowledgeable about muzzles and correct way to use them. I’m recently married and am looking for a more flexible schedule to be home In the evenings so I can spend time with my family. I treat them the same way the owners do and then some, all while still respecting the pet parents wishes and concerns. I treat them the same as I treat my dog.

“Cheryl did an amazing job with my pup! She visited at the time we discussed, she shared the walk that she went on with my pup, and she was very responsive. I know my dog had a great time with her and I felt very comfortable leaving my baby in her hands. Highly recommend!”

About: With over 25 years of pet care experience, I bring a calm, capable, and loving presence to every animal I care for. I’m certified in CPR and first aid, and have hands-on experience with diabetic pets (including insulin injections), senior pet care, and basic puppy training. I focus on building trust through daily exercise, enrichment games, and positive reinforcement. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always by top priority. Besides my own pets needs, I work independently as a healthcare worker and certified crystal singing bowl practitioner. I also provide this service for my furry friends as well as two leggers💗 I make my own hours and am readily available. I currently have a collie mix puppy and five indoor cats. Everyone gets along and cares for each other. I would treat my clients pets as if they were my own. I use correction and distraction in place of discipline and respect their individual needs. Of course let’s not forget SPOILING!

I strive to be a caring, active, and responsible sitter to make your time apart from your dog less stressful. I work from home Monday through Friday! I love having a friend during the day to keep me company. I am always looking to have a companion for my walks or afternoon naps on the weekends too! I have a house that is spacious for play & rest.

I will feed the dogs whenever needed and take them on nice walks to get exercise. I have my own dogs at home, so I am familiar with taking care of pets.

About: I've always heard if you do something you love you'll never work a day in your life! So after 40 Years of tending bar is my turn! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember.. If you're a true animal lover you'll know what I mean, I fall in love with them at first sight!! I hope you'll give me a chance to spoil your baby like I spoil mine! Now that I've retired from bartending I am left with strong legs and lots of time! I can't think of anything better to fill it with than petting animals and getting paid for it! My DREAM JOB!! Because I have a jealous old lady pit mix I'm not able to watch pets at my house. But I will treat your pets like they were my own, spoil them rotten!

I am currently a student at Augustana College but have a flexible schedule so I can give your animal all the attention that they deserve. Back home I have one Yorkie who is the sweetest old lady ever! She is not with me at school but growing up around animals I have learned how to give them the proper love, attention, and time that they deserve. My apartment has a bark park where I can take your dog to play and run around to get all of their energy out. I also love to go on walks during the summer so I am always more than willing to take them on a nice long walk or hike.

About: I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I am a student looking to get outside more and go on walks or visit with dogs to make my longs days of studying for graduate school go by a little quicker and to make them a little more enjoyable. I love to go on walks to stay fit and what better way to do it than having a k9 companion with me!? I have a now senior chocolate Labrador of my own at home, who is still hyper and energetic.

I can do whatever the owner would like me to do for their dog: treats, feed them, and administer medication.

About: I have been in love with dogs since I was born. That is 60 years of love, that is a realy long time to love. I am a teacher, so during much of my year I have plenty of time available. The rest of the year I will make time for your special pets. I do not care for dogs at my house. I will walk your dog and we will have a great time. Dogs are wonderful companions.
