Dog Walkers in Oakley, IL

About: I have always owned dogs or cats among other pets. I have 2 dogs and 3 bunnies right now. My world is not right if I don't have a pet. I have several years of pet care experience ranging from feeding, walking, cleaning to medical care. I became a certified dog trainer to continue my work that i love with dogs to help pet parents have the best furry friend they always wanted. I will take the best care of your fur babies as I possibly can and they get the best exercise they can get and endless amounts of love. Thank you I am a stay at home mom. This is my "job". My schedule is pretty open and flexible, so I can fit just about any pet care needs into my schedule. I care for your pets in your home, that way they are less stressed and more comfortable at home in a place they know. My goal is to keep them happy and healthy while you're away so you both have a good experience.

About: I have worked with just about every type of animal. I worked as a veterinary assistant for five years and fostered for 10+ years. I have always loved animals and always go above and beyond for my furbabies. I often foster animals in need, as well as adopt animals in need. I honestly just have so much love and compassion to give out to all animals. I cant wait to meet your fur babies and get to know them better! Let me know if you have any questions! I am free most days with the ability to tend to your furbaby's needs whenever works best for you, as I am currently self employed and create my own schedule. I have a fenced in yard with lots of toys and room to run. I spend 2-3 hours outside (depending on the weather) with the pups playing fetch or other games.

“Terri has been great with my 2 1/2 year old golden retriever. She provides loving and honest care for my pup every day that she is scheduled. I highly recommend her if you need someone to treat your dog like their own.”

About: Hi everyone! I am 28 years old and work as an elementary school teacher. During the summers I enjoy staying as active as possible. I enjoy long walks, running, and being around others. Throughout my life I have always loved pets! My family had a cockapoo that I have grew up playing with and caring for. Currently my boyfriend and I have a lab named Finn. Many other people close to me have pets that I am often around as well. I have dog sat in the past for multiple families and have absolutely loved it! It is always fun meeting and playing with new dogs. I would love to get to know your dog and would be happy to walk, play with, or dog sit him or her! 🐶 I have the summer free, so free to watch/ walk your dog any time. We can accommodate in our house, or I can come to your house as well. If your pup stays at our house we will make sure our dog gets along with yours. We will take great care of your pup and treat it like our own ❤️

About: I have experienced taking care of senior dogs especially with vision issues. I can give oral medication. I used to worked at a doggie daycare. I’m currently working at the Devon part time. In the summer I’m available most days between 10 am to 3 pm. On the days I’m not working at the Devon I’m available from 10 am to 7 pm. I have a fenced in yard at my house. At clients house if no fenced yard I can take them for a walk or play with them inside to help get their energy out.

“Jeremiah has been so wonderful with walking my dogs. They really look forward to it and it gives me peace of mind that they are getting the attention and exercise they need. He is so friendly, reliable and really loves animals, like I do.”

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors dogs for years as they were not physically able to take them on walks. I’ve always had dogs of my own growing up. I am currently available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends. I am flexible with times and schedules that work best for you and your pup. I will accommodate to your pets need and what fits their personality best! I know every pup is different and I’m looking forward to meeting your fur baby.

About: I have spent my entire life caring for animals. Throughout my life I have had many animals from birds and Guinea pigs to cats and dogs. Koda, my youngest dog was completely trained by me in German commands. Working with dogs to learn new things is one of my favorite things to do. My oldest dog, Motley is a senior and the past couple years I have become very educated and trained on administration of medication and post surgery care. With experience from my own pets, I have many reliable references I have gained over the years that can vouch for me on my loving, dedicated, and superior care with their fur babies. I am currently a nanny and have almost completely open availability. I work Monday through Thursday during the day but can still do visits anytime! And I’m off Friday through Sunday so anytime those days as well! When visiting your home I am happy to provide any services you may need for your pet. This includes special feeding instructions, medication distribution, daily walks, baths, guaranteed playtime, and more all while treating them as my own with so much love! I am also happy to do drop in visits while you are at work or walks to get your babies steps in.

About: I have had dogs ( and a few cats) my entire life. I am a big believer in rescue so my pets come to me with a variety of issues. We have always worked thru those issues. I have had recent experience with elderly dogs as my 3 dogs were all elderly with medical conditions. Two have since crossed over the bridge. I currently have a very friendly, and laid back Shih Tzu mix. He is 15 years old. The other 2 passed away within 6 months of each other so he misses being around other dogs. We are retired with a fenced in yard so we woukd be home all day with the dogs. I am retired with a fenced in yard so we woukd be home all day with the dogs. Baxter is good with all dogs of any size and energy level. He is not kind to cats. I can do drop in visits for cat8s but can not do them in my home. I have a fenced in yard and a dog to play with. I also have crates and beds for their comfort. Play time will be part of the day care experience.

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a kid. Rescuing chickens, rabbits, cats, horses - you name it! In my adult life, I took some time away from pets while obtaining my Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry. The first thing I did after relocating to Decatur, IL for my job, was adopt an unwanted adult shelter cat that resided at Animal Control for months, Spider. He is still with me - 11 years later. I have learned the reasons why Spider was surrendered. It inspired me to get involved with animal rescue in the community. I have adopted and fostered puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats. I have probably dealt with nearly every type of cat or most cat disabilities at this point - and if not, am extremely willing and able to learn. My feline resume includes sight and hearing impaired, sick, diabetes, incontinence, behavioral issues, MORE... I am a huge believer of positive reinforcement training for dogs. If you follow dominance training or negative reprimanding, we will not get along. I have taken two doggos through AKC CGC certification awards and other courses. My personal dog, Timber, suffers from several health issues including hypertension - which caused enucleation of both eyes; chronic rhinitis; and gingival hyperplasia. I am very used to paying attention to the subtle signs of dogs when medical issues arise. Currently, i am working from home, but transitioning back to in-person office work soon. When I return back to work, my schedule does offer a lunch break and reasonable flexibility. Interestingly, all of my puppy fostering has been pre-COVID/work-from-home! My home offers a fenced-in yard. We always walk pets on-leash. In side the home, we have options for crating and our home has several doors to close off rooms to create separate safe spaces, if needed. We also have several baby gates. Crating is very useful for at least feeding times. Our resident dog, Timber, eats in his crate, and he is trained to go there if he gets stressed - even though he is blind. I can often watch cats here in a spare room. Although, I do think cats are happiest at their homes with daily visits, if an option. In a client home, I would like to try to stick the schedule the pets are used to. Arranging a visit to understand the home layout, where things are kept, and meeting the pets are very important to me. I am happy to arrange multiple visits or stay at the house, depending on the needs of the clients and pet(s).

About: I have a lot of pet care experience from pet sitting, drop-ins, caring for medical disabled dog, pet walking. I am ready to love your pet like it’s my own and let you relax knowing your baby is in the best hands! I love to send pic updates of your pet and I playing and having fun! I have watched family members pets, neighbors pets and people I just met through referral. I am also happy to bathe your pet if requested. I had a 165lb Rottweiler, so now it seems like I can do anything! :) I work remotely and can take my work anywhere! Need me at your house during the day? I can do that as long as you can share your Wi-Fi with me! :) I have plenty of time to look after your pet and I am so excited to meet them! I am able to crate your dog safely if needed and request by you. I also will ensure when we go on walks that your pet is away from other pets to avoid any form of conflict.
