Dog Walkers in Modoc, IL

“Nick was excellent. We needed someone on short notice to take our energetic dog for long walks for 4 days while my husband recouped from a muscle sprain. Nick was responsive, on time each day, sent Rover Cards documenting the map and time of his walks. Great guy. Our dog took to him like a dog takes to a bone. Will definitely use Nick again.”

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.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds since age 5. My friend's neighbors and family have all trusted me to care for their animals. Including feeding, bathing, & walking. Rover is my fulltime job, I am available Monday through Friday daytime 11:00am-4:00pm & some Sundays in the areas of Ste Genevieve, Perryville, Festus, Bloomsdale,and Farmington. I am open to do day visits and dog walks. Please let me know the Sunday before for the week what you need! This leaves plenty of time for puppy loving! ❤️ I currently have a very gentle loving puppy who loves to play indoors & outdoors. So in my home your dog will have some company 😀 I do not have a fenced in yard which is a challenge so we go on walks in the neighborhood & have a nearby park we enjoy going to so no worries! We have lots of fun and exercise! We play games outside and inside.

About: I have cared for animals my whole life. I grew up on a small farm taking care of pigs, geese, chickens, steers, goats, cats dogs birds, turtles, hermit crabs, you name it! My schedule is quite flexible, and I’m happy to work around both of our schedules to accommodate any care needs. Have a special request? Just ask! I will always treat others’ pets as if they were my own. I am highly trustworthy and have owned and operated three different businesses in my young life, one of which I still run. Prior to that, I worked in healthcare. I take great pride in being dependable and trustworthy in all my endeavors.

About: I have always had at least one animal in my home since I was born. My grandmother showed dogs and I would often help her get them trained and groomed. She was also an amazing professional dog groomer and I spent a large chunk of my time with her and learning from her. I like puppies but I have a love for older dogs. I have experience administering meds and injections. I work part time, on the weekends and I go to college full time. In the summer I work 5 days a week but based on your needs I can fit your furry friend into my schedule. I like to have a little list of things that you would think is important like the vet you want them to go to if your baby gets hurt, a feeding schedule, and anything that you may have concerns about while I stay at your house. I treat all of the animals I watch as they are my own babies and think it’s important to gain the trust of them while at your home, so they feel more comfortable.

“Holly is very nice and very loving to our dog. She sent pictures every day. She was flexible on start times when we needed it. I definitely recommend Holly and will use her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets my entire life. I have experience dog-sitting, cat-sitting, dog walking and even some grooming. My passionate love for animals doesn’t vary between small, large, young, or old - I love them all! I have plenty of weekend availability, but I am a student during the week, so my flexibility has been a little restricted. This summer I will have 8-10 hr days twice a week (including commute). Please reach out to see if my exact schedule will work for you! My goal is to make your furry friend feel as comfortable as possible with me. I take caution when getting to know a new animal, making sure to give them the time and space they need in order to get to know me.

About: Hi! I'm Dannielle, I've been a certified dog groomer for 5 years. Dogs are my passion! I have 3 pups of my own- a special needs shepherd, a spunky 2 year old pit mix, and my sweet senior boy. On my off time I enjoy making homemade dog treats, jerky, and doing dog crafts such as making collar flowers and bandannas. As a groomer I am always continuing my canine education, especially related to safe dog handling. My goal in life is to meet all the pups! Being in a salon management position I do have a good amount of flexibility with my schedule. I will be available for drop-in visits and walks in the evenings and select day visits. I’m also available for overnight pet sitting during the week and on every other weekend. I do not care for pets in my home due to my personal dogs however I am open and adaptable to care for your pet at your home however you see fit. Keeping a steady routine is important for our furs. I am comfortable walking dogs on leash, in a fenced yard off leash, and with crate training.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was young. I foster for the animal shelters. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own. I use to be a dog groomer for Petco! I have fostered newborn kittens and puppies. I have experience with fish, hamsters, cats, dogs, kittens, puppies, horses, chickens, ducks, goose, donkeys, cows, ect. I’m an animal lover all around!! I’m a stay at home pet mom, so I have all the time for your pets as well! I would love to give them extra love :) When first meeting a pet, I always slowly let them get used to me. I talk to them and tell them everything i’m doing whether they can can understand me or not 😅. I pride myself on gaining the trust of any animal and always making sure they feel safe!

About: While I may not have "professional" pet care experience, I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have always been a go-to pet helper for family and friends. I believe in gentle and attentive care. I am committed to making sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved... because dogs truly are family! I am excited to earn your trust and become your dog's second-favorite human! 🐾 I work full time as a first responder. My schedule varies due to a 48/96 work schedule (this meaning I work 2 days on, 4 days off). I am typically available all off days, but my schedule will vary! I do not currently have any pets due to just moving into a new home! Though I do still have 2 dogs back home that I see often. I aim to create an environment where your four-legged friend will feel secure and relaxed. I achieve this by only sitting one pet at a time in a large house with no other pets. I love giving all the attention to the pups, but also have plenty of space for those who are shy. I also provide pictures and videos of pets upon request :)

“My pup Lady says Allison was a 5 star walker! She is organized, good with communication and bakes yummy dog treats. Sad to say goodbye as we move out of state.”

I feed and water my dogs everyday, plus play with them to. If its a nice out i let my dogs choose if they want to stay outside or not until i get home from work, but they are inside on nasty days. They do come in at night and sleep with us. I give them their owns baths and trim their own nails. At the clients home I take their dog outside on a nice day to play and take their dogs on a walk. Before I would leave the clients home, I would make sure that their fur babies would have water and food . When we are on walks I make sure I carry water with me for their fur babies.

About: I have 10 plus years of experience training, breeding, and caring for dogs aging puppy to adult years and small to medium size. My family previously owned a dog boarding kennel in which we provided obedience training, leash training, and anger management and redirecting negative behaviors. I am currently a stay at home wife so I have immense time on my hands. Daily Dog walking, drop in visits, overnights, etc are all on the table, therefore I have full availability every weekday and weekend. With lots of tender love and care. I treat animals that I oversee as if they are my own. I love on them, feed them, exercise them exactly as you would yourself so that they are not outside of normal routine and are not lacking of anything while you aren’t able to be home for them!

About: I love all dogs. I have had dogs since I was little and enjoy everything about them. My dog of 18 years passed away right before my son was born so we currently dont have any pets but we are anxiously awaiting our sons 2nd birthday to get the newest puppy addition to our family. We go on frequent outdoor walks in the parks and do lots of hiking. I can accomodate dogs with special care instructions and medical needs as well. Since I am a stay at home mom to my 18 month old son who adores dogs as much as I do, there will never be a dull moment for your dog. We offer loads of love, affection, playtime, treats if allowed, and of course fun.

About: I come with a lifetime of experience caring for my own pets, great customer service experience and a trustworthy and hard working care provider who will make sure your pets are cared for, loved, fed, and happy as well as cared extras like bringing in the Mail, watering plants or other tasks that may be needed while you are away. You are in good hands. I’m a college student and I run my own business as well as work a part time job. I will fit your pets in around my schedule/commitments and routine which may look different daily. I am willing to consider requests but my rates are not set for 24 hours of continuous coverage. Please message me your expectations initially and we can find out if we are a good fit. It is also important for you to know that I share pet sitting gigs with my sister Nina so I can help provide a more continuous service while I am at work and I will occasionally have a friend and or niece/nephew with me for drop ins. I will care for your pet in whatever way you need me to. As someone who had a very lovable Lab/Shepard mix who recently passed away, I understand the needs of a pet are with each individual pet and owner. I am happy to make sure your little buddies are protected and loved like I did my own. Everything will be done in the comfort of your home to assure your pet feels safe in their own environment.

It was an amazing experience and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I am currently a student at Jefferson College. I am a music major and play currently two different instruments. So most days I am practicing. I have a cat currently (her name is Maria), and she is a very playful cat. So im always giving her lots of cuddles and playtime. I also have a pitbull/bulldog mix at my mother’s house that I also helped take care of. Daily walks, lots of outdoor time, playtime and even taught her tricks.
