Dog Walkers in New Lebanon, IL

About: I’ve been caring for dogs through walking and pet sitting since 2024, helping neighbors, friends, and family with everything from daily walks to overnight care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always make sure they feel safe, exercised, and well cared for. In addition to pet care, I’ve been babysitting for about 5 years, which has made me very responsible, patient, and reliable. I’m used to being trusted in others’ homes and keeping a consistent routine. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure to provide updates and photos so you feel confident while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule this summer, which allows me to give your pet lots of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I can adjust to your pet’s routine and make sure they get the time, exercise, and consistency they’re used to. I always prioritize safety, trust, and making pets feel comfortable in their environment. I carefully follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special needs. I’m respectful of your home and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

About: My passion is to work with animals for the rest of my life . I am going to school to be a veterinarian and plan on working with mixed animals . Eventually I plan on opening my own practice. I have volunteered in a vet clinic for 1 year and I have 1 year experience with pet sitting /dog walking . I have built a relationship that would last a life time with my clients and their pet owners . I am very responsible and hardworking and dependable. You will be very satisfied with my work and how much I truly enjoy taking care and looking after your love ones . You won’t be disappointed with choosing me as your provider, if you give me the opportunity.

About: I have had family dogs all my life. Currently I have two senior cats and two Belgian Malinois who are part of my family. We’re a very active family and enjoy being outdoors. I’m a stay at home mom which allows me to have a flexible schedule, unless I have appointments for the kiddos. I’m part time military so I won’t be available those weekends but I’ll let you know in advance 🫶 I’m a stay at home mom and a weekend warrior, iykyk. Availability is open unless I’m scheduled for drill and I’ll give an advanced notice or if I have appointments scheduled. I’ll follow your instructions to the T. My dogs have taught me a lot about dog behaviors and what to look out for. Either way I tend to avoid anything that may upset any dog. Cats are much more independent and they usually just need feeding and cleaning.

About: I take great pride in caring for dogs to the best of my ability. I want to be the kind of pet caretaker that I would hire for my own dogs. Someone who supervises the dogs under their care at all times while outdoors, who can read canine body language to know what a dog is enjoying and when they might be uncomfortable, who gives dogs structured sniff and explore time in the great outdoors, and who can provide regular updates. My clients feel that I do an excellent job living up to that expectation. Due to my years of experience both as a dog trainer and a behavior consultant, I am the ideal pet sitter for young puppies who need extra care, guidance, and supervision. In our meet and greet for puppies we will discuss your desired household rules and goals so that I can maintain those rules and skills during their stay with me. Puppies also have the opprotunity to learn important social and play skills from my appropriate, mature dogs. In addition to puppies, I also take great care with my "reactive" friends. Especially when it comes to walking and adventure time. I have the skills and knowledge to support reactive dogs getting their walks in without rehearsing reactive behavior. This can ensure that your dog still gets to adventure without trending backwards in your behavior goals. I know how important daily exercise and sniffing time is for the wellbeing of all dogs, but especially for puppies and our reactive dogs. I love spending time with dogs and getting to know all the wonderful things that they find joy in and those fun personality traits that make them unique! My life revolves around helping dogs live happier, fuller lives. When dogs stay with me we begin our dogs with a stroll through the trails of our wooded property before settling down with a chew or frozen project. Depending on the dog there may be some short, fun, training sessions, play time with my dogs, or play time with me before their afternoon naptime. In the evenings we set out on another walk or adventure to a nature preserve. I have a fully fenced back yard space where dogs are able to potty and play off-leash. Additionally we have trails throughout our property where dogs get to enjoy lovely walks on a long-line. Dogs are crated overnight. I have the ability to either crate them next to my own dogs for company, or to set them up in their own "private suite" where they don't need to worry about other dogs being close to them while they rest. I do require all clients to leave me with their current veterinarian's contact information and emergency contact details should something unexpected happen. I want you to feel confident that your pet's health and safety is taken seriously during their vacation with me.

About: I naturally get attached to animals, so your pet won’t just be watched, they’ll actually be cared for! I’m really patient and calm, which helps a lot with shy or anxious pets. I stick to routines and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my day—I like having something to look forward to, and spending time with animals is honestly one of my favorite parts of it. I make sure to plan around visits and give each pet my full attention instead of rushing in and out. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable, following your routine and giving lots of love. I treat your home with care and make sure your pet feels at ease while you’re away.

About: Since a child, I have been trusted to watch, walk, and care for neighbors and friends dogs. I still care for my friends and families dogs. I grew into loving the difficult dogs, training lots of different sports and dog behavior. I love seniors/special needs who just need some TLC. Puppies are my absolute favorite. I enjoy the bond and training from the start. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom looking to start working again and thought this would be a great fit due to my passion with animals. I have a flexible schedule and am available to board most days. Dogs will be given love and attention, play, walks, really whatever they are into or owner needs. My own crew loves to swim in our pool, play frisbee or fetch the chuck-it. I have 3 custom built in crates that are massively oversized. I can keep dogs separate from my own or integrate. I absolutely love working with puppies and dogs and exposing them to new fun things!

About: When I had roommates, they have a cat who has wobbly cat syndrome (Cerebellar Hypoplasia) which makes him walk a little funny! He can’t go more than two to three steps without falling over, and eating is quite a challenge. Having cared for him has made me really patient and understanding of animals. I recently just left a data entry job, so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets! I love animals more than people so they are going to fit perfectly into my daily routine. I would spend time with your pet as much as you’d like! I love spending time with animals whether that’s playing with them, giving them pets, going on walks or just being next to them giving them company!

About: I train puppies for a little while from my experience I had experience on so. I trained multiple people pets and successfully and continued thriving. I love pets there the highlight of my day and will always make time and opportunities to learn bout them more and more as time goes on I make sure they feel safe and secure and always make sure they feel welcome when they come to my house. Make sure they are in safe

About: I am a pediatric nurse. I have close to 10 years of dog and cat experience through family pets and recently a diabetic dog named Dexter (has since passed away) I have experience providing oral and injectable medications for dogs. I work three 12-hour shifts per week but each week varies. However, I have flexibility in choosing what days I want to work. I'm typically up at 5am for work so if you need to drop your pet off early or need early check ins I'm available! I live in a single family home with wife. We have safety gates and crates in our home for when we have to step out of the house. I will separate our dog from other dogs if necessary. Food is always kept in a safe spot that no dog can get into. Our subdivision is surrounded by open fields so there are plenty of areas to walk. The backyard is large and fenced in. Fence does not have slats so next door dogs do not have a way in unless we want them for playtime. I walk our dog multiple times a day for potty breaks/exercise. I always walk our dog with a leash and will do so with other dogs. I love to snuggle and play with dogs and will do so with yours!

I can check in as often as you request and will provide pictures and updates throughout the service.

About: I’ve been a certified veterinary technician for 11 years and have been in the veterinary field for 15 years. Dogs are my absolute passion! I would love nothing more than to spoil your fur baby as rotten as I do my own! I am very familiar with all medications and anything else medical related.

I work from home on Mondays and Wednesdays and I am home full time the rest of the time with my two kids, two dogs, and cat. Your dog will never be alone while staying here! We have plenty of space to run and play inside and outside! Our dogs are extremely playful and would love a pal!

We have plenty of space for a crate if your pet needs one or they can be left out if they’re more comfortable with that. We are always home so your dog won’t ever be left unattended for more than an hour or two if we need to run to the store or something. We have a very routine schedule we follow every day so your dog will have no problem sliding right into it. Your dog will never be outside unattended and will always have someone to play with or snuggle with between my husband and I and our two kids.
