Dog Walkers in Millstadt, IL

About: I grew up in a family full of vets, animal enthusiasts, and even zoo staff! I have cared for animals of all shapes and sizes- even raccoons, birds, reptiles, rodents, and of course many cats and dogs! I have a pretty regular schedule each week so it is very easy for me to plan around in order to take care of your furry friends. I have extensive knowledge of pet care and nutrition for my own cats and dog, and I will treat your babies as my own while under my care, ensuring they are happy and healthy at all times! Happy to follow any requests or routines.

About: With years of experience in high-end dog training, sitting, and walking, I offer more than just pet care—I provide expert, personalized attention for your dog. I understand canine behavior on a deep level, ensuring your pup feels safe, engaged, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s reinforcing good manners, going on structured walks, or providing calm companionship, I treat every dog like my own. I currently work from home with a flex work schedule, which makes me available for pet care anytime. I can work my schedule to be tailored to your pets needs. I have a large back yard and dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company. For walks, I tailor each to your fur baby’s needs, spending more time outside with high energy dogs, and taking shorter walks for older pets. All walks and care come with the most snuggles.

“Super kind, friendly and punctual.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I can play with them, pick up after them, bathe them and make sure they’re happy and well fed. And I can take the dog on short or long walks and make sure they’re happy and safe. Also for house sitting I’ll make sure the house is clean and any messes the dog makes is cleaned up as well I’m a student at an online university, but I am taking a break from perusing my BS in forensic accounting. So I have plenty of time to watch your pets. I have two dogs that I take care of with my family. And they are well cared for and I play with them throughout the day and feed them when they need to be fed.

About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of animals my whole life. I treat each pet like a cherished family member, and not just a job. I emphasize building trust, understanding individual pet personalities, and providing compassionate, attentive care that goes beyond basic feeding and watering. I work from home full time and can step away from my desk at anytime. If you have nervous dogs that can’t be left alone for long periods of time, my schedule allows me to work from anywhere and I can spend the day with them. I can easily take care of all your pets needs, walks? You got it. Sitting with your dog through a thunderstorm? Absolutely. I want to make sure that your dog doesn’t get thrown out of their routine, when I’m coming into others homes.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. You can rest assured your pups, big and small, will get all the love and attention while you’re away. I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday, but have three pups of my own at home and can board additional pups overnight during the week and can do daytime walks on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and keep your pets separated from my household pets unless they are long-time visitors and we know everyone gets along well.

About: While I am new to Rover-I am not new to taking care of pets. I’ve been in your position. I have been blessed to have had an amazing cat and the sweetest dog for 12+ years. Peace of mind that your pet is cared for, when you are away, is invaluable. I’m here when you need me. I am semi retired. I will be happy to walk, play with, and care for your pet. I can also help out with daily things while you are away such as bringing in mail, taking out garbage, watering plants etc. in the past I have been helpful in cases of power outages (food spoilage) and water heater leakage mishaps. Once established, I would consider longer stays for pets who require more companionship. Respect and Responsibility are of utmost importance to me. I value the meet and greet process and look forward to providing the best service while you are away.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was eight. When I turned 16 i started rescuing animals and getting them the vetting they needed. In total I rescued 27 dogs and puppies and rehomed them successful. I had to stop due to lack of funds but this is a prefect way to help dogs again! After all they truly are better than people. im free all week every week! as of currently i am not working so i figured walking dogs would be a great pass of time ! My family has 5 dogs and 2 cats. We do not have a fenced in yard so we do daily walks 3 times a day if not more and take them to the dog parks twice a week.

About: Hi my name is Diane, and I have been caring for dogs, cats, fish and birds most of my life. I will care for your precious babies just like my own. They will receive professional care, love, attention and affection. This is my full time job, if you can call it that. It's a blessing. I have a nice yard and field for walks, and a large covered deck for outside play time in severe weather. I only take one family's pets at a time. So, your babies will get plenty of quality attention and companionship. My home is pet friendly and all safety precautions have been implemented. Your companions will be kept separate from my own for the safety of both parties. I am also comfortable and experienced taking care of special needs pets that might require medications to be administered or other accommodations. I now have a bedroom designated for cats. It has a king size bed and lots of windows for bird watching. I only book one family's cat or cats at a time. I have excellent reviews and references. Thank you for your consideration. This is my full time job. A labor of love. So, caring for your companions will be my top priority. You can feel confident and secure while they're in my care. I will accommodate your companions needs and your requests. All pets are kept safe and attended to at all times. I am trustworthy and reliable.

About: I’ve been caring for all types of dogs since I was around five years old. From my sweet rescue, to my best friend’s three German Shepards and one bichon-shih tzu mix, to my neighbors diaper wearing beagle down to my college roommate’s two rambunctious Aussie puppies. From seniors to six months I’ve watched and played with all sizes and all personalities. I’ve also cared for cats from a neighbor’s skittish black cat to a roommates sassy white old lady. I love being around animals and I haven’t met one that doesn’t love being around me too! I’m working on getting back to a part time job to save up for grad school, but between family commitments and working at the zoo I would love to spend time with your fur baby. Taking time to meet your pet in their home environment is incredibly important! It makes them feel safe and helps me learn more about your pet. I’m good with leash training and can walk large dogs even rambunctious ones.

About: I am an avid pet lover. I’ve been around dogs all my life (minus a short time when I lived in an apartment and couldn’t have a dog, so we decided to adopt 2 cats!). I am a pretty active gal, and am able to take dogs for walks (and even run if they want to). I'm open to drop in visits, housesitting, walks, etc. I am unable to provide boarding at my house, as our Chloe is selective about her friends. We are working with her on being more tolerant of others. If boarding is your preference, I would be open to a Chloe meet-and-greet to make sure your dog and Chloe are comfortable with each other. I work locally around Columbia, so I am able to do some petsitting during the week. I have more availability on the weekends. If my schedule allows, I can drop in on lunch to check on your pets. Your rules are my rules. As long as the dog/cat/etc. is happy, I am happy. My dogs are allowed on furniture and have the run of the house. Of course, they are not chewers and (typically) do not destroy things.

About: I have owned rodents, fish, dogs, and cats all my life. I have worked at Five acres animal shelter for 2 years, and have a few months of vet tech experience. I see our animals like they are our family. So that's how I treat them. I would spend a lot of time in your home playing, cuddling, and staying active. Any pet will be given 100% of my attention and care while we are together. I do not have day care at my home because I have other pets here that may stress out from the in and out of other animals. I look forward to meeting all of your furry babies! This is currently my only work besides being a full time mom! I can make lots of drop ins throughout the day to give lots of attention. I will follow any instructions given to me for the care in your home. I will check all doors and gates are shut and locked before leaving!

About: !! This is the only job I have this Summer. If applicable, I am starting to accept payments outside of the app before booking is set to start (can discuss in more detail during meet and greets) !! Main Pet Care Experience: I spent a year volunteering at an animal hospital which involved taking care of the boarding animals. I would also frequently help out the veterinarians and other workers. Back when I was in high school, I took a vet/animal course for 9 months. I got my first dog back in 2019 when he was a year old and I have been training him ever since along with walking him at least 3 miles a day every time I’m home. With having a dog back home, I would help take care of him every day. Now that I am in college, I still want the opportunity to take care of other pets :) I am available everyday the calendar says I’m available as long as I can step out for food and occasional errands! I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, and birds. No matter the pet, I will of course take into account all the requests of the client. Back home I gave my pets attention and made sure to feed them at the same time every day. I also always take note the amount of food requested by the vet depending on weight and age of pet. Every booking, my time will be fully and utterly dedicated to those pets.

“Colton is awesome! This was his first walk with one of our pups and our pup adores him. Colton is super friendly, down to earth, and communicative. We couldn't have found someone better suited for us!”

About: I’ve had pets since i can remember. There’s never been a time in my life i haven’t had a cat or dog! As I got older, I began shaping a better life for myself, for them! I’m just trying to give my dog the yard she deserves 🫶🏻 I’m between jobs right now so my schedule is yours! I’m excited to take time and do things i enjoy, including caring for pets 🐶🐱 I have a fenced backyard and two pups who are the sweetest little fur balls ever. I have three cats who live like kings (and queens) inside, who stay out of the dogs way and watch from their perch as the doggos do their things. I never want my animals to feel bored so i keep an abundance of perches, toys, beds, and even the television for them to access all day.

About: Growing up I helped my grandma take care of dogs from Great Danes to chihuahuas. I love animals and try to make them as happy as possible I just recently got laid off at my day job and create my own schedule with my other two jobs so I can be home full time with your baby I don’t have a fenced in yard but I can take your dog out on a leash multiple times a day. I have two dogs and a cat to keep your dog company. I love taking photos of my animals so you’ll get tons!

About: I can do it all from big breeds, to small breeds; from happy breeds, to sad breeds. I’ve also got experience in tending to aggressive animals or animals who react out of fear so don’t worry! Growing up, I had an aggressive pup who people refused to come around and it made things hard on me, I want to give ALL pet parents a chance to feel safe knowing their aggressive or reactive dog is in good hands. I know the do’s and the don’t’s! Animals are a passion and if I could have every animal in the world, I would! Give me a shot to take care of your baby and you won’t regret it! I’m an active duty military member, but I work in a 24hr shop so my schedule shifts a lot. However, that is no issue for me as long as I have a heads up from my clients! I will work with them to create a schedule that best suits both me and the animals! Your animal is now a priority of mine(: I have a 6” vinyl privacy fence with a very large backyard. I have 3 dogs of my own and can accommodate some animals in my home. However, I will need to have your animals formally meet mine before making that decision so that we don’t put anyone in harms way. I will also request an updated shot record for any animals entering my home and will provide you with the same(:

About: My connection with animals runs deep, nurtured by a lifetime of pet ownership and active participation in their care since childhood. This personal experience extends to caring for my own dogs, including senior companions with specific health needs and medication requirements.

Working remotely provides me with significant flexibility, allowing pet care to seamlessly integrate into my daily and weekly routine. This means I can dedicate the necessary time and attention to your beloved companions, ensuring they receive the care they need, precisely when they need it. I prioritize frequent potty breaks, typically every 2-4 hours or as often as an individual pet requires, to maintain their comfort and well-being.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, mine and others, since I was little! I volunteered for the humane society in high school and I loved it! I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I work part time, so my schedule is flexible! I will work to spend as much time with your furry friends as possible. My dogs are so spoiled, and yours will be too. I have no problem hanging with them all day, I love going on walks, and of course the occasional pup cup.

“Morgan was AMAZING. I can truly say she went above and beyond with her care for our dog. Always kept us updated on when she got to our house and sent pictures every visit. It is clear Morgan LOVES pets and she will definitely treat your pet like her own. We will most definitely use Morgan again when we need someone to take care of our pup.”
