Dog Walkers in Parkland, IL

“Glen was so great! And our dog who is usually suspicious of any stranger coming in our house just loved him! Prompt walks and gave us regular updates which made us feel comfortable being the first time we used this service while we were out of the country. Definitely recommend him!”

“Katie is WONDERFUL!! Wags, my overweight beagle (who lets me live there with my cat Top!) is already showing signs of having more energy. When I come home, he is bouncing up and down to meet me. It has been a while since he had this energy; I know it’s ALL because of Katie walking Wags! Besides this, Wag’s loves Katie and didn’t give me a second look when she came for him!!!♥️♥️”

About: I worked at a doggie daycare and boarding facility for two years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From group play supervision to feeding, cleaning, and administering medications, I gained experience in all aspects of pet care. I’ve also personally trained three dogs of my own—including a Great Pyrenees and a Black Lab puppy—so I’m very comfortable with everything from basic commands to crate training and leash manners. I’m confident with high-energy pups, large breeds, and dogs who may need a little extra patience. I’m currently available full-time until August 11th, so I can offer flexible and attentive care throughout the day. After that, I’ll be working full-time, but I’ll still be available for evenings, weekends, and early mornings depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your pup! Whether your pet is in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to understand each dog’s personality and needs—whether that means sticking to a routine, giving space, or providing extra playtime and cuddles. In my home, I create a calm and structured environment with plenty of supervision, especially during introductions with my own dogs. I’m experienced with crate training, managing group dynamics, and caring for dogs with specific behavioral needs. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect and care I give to my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely to ensure your pet stays happy, safe, and stress-free.

“Kara is reliable, caring, and wonderful with our puppy. We hired her to walk our dog weekly and will definitely rehire for the same service and dog sitting in the future.”

About: I’ve take care of animals since I was 10 years old. Family and friends have relied on me to take care of their furry family family. I’m flexible and willing to work with any schedule. I am available for drop-ins, walks and occasional boardings as well as house sitting. I have weekday as well as weekend availability. I will ensure your furry family member is treated how I treat my own fur kids. I will ensure you will receive updates and photos.

About: I took care of my black lab, and then golden retriever when I was growing. People thought I was going to be a vet as I always was around dogs, helping friends with them ( even waking up at 5:30am in college to walk dogs), but ended up being a high school teacher. Would love the opportunity to help you with your dogs where there is a need. I am a high school teacher who has great availability in the summer, and would be happy to work around your schedule in the fall. I am also a Dad of a 5 year old and would be happy to do it in the afternoons in the fall. In caring for them at your home-I would be happy to have your pets do as they normally do. I am happy to walk them in the neighborhood, and run around with them.

About: I am a Certified Pet Sitter-Dog Walker and insured and bonded. I've been taking care of animals most of my life. I've worked with animal shelters and transport teams to help get dogs to their forever home. My schedule is flexible, and I would love to fill my free time with caring for your pets. I know we all have busy schedules and sometimes are unable to give our pets our full attention. I'd like to help you with that so your pet can get all the attention they deserve. <3 Making sure your pets stay happy, healthy and safe in my care is my number one priority. When it comes to working in a client's home, I am always respectful of their house rules and routines.

About: I love animals of all kinds, especially dogs. I have a secret crush on baby giraffes, but that’s another story. I’m recently retired, looking forward to helping you as others have helped me. Pet care will be the main activity of the day! Being recently retired, I’m looking to fill up my time by spending it with your furry friends! I have two cats right now, although I’ve had either cats or dogs or both my entire adult life. I make sure each of them feels like she is the favorite!

“Marlena is a caring and loving woman to our fur baby! Will definitely use her again!”

About: We have taken care of all kinds of animals for as long as we can remember. We recently raised a litter of 9 Australian Sheppards in my home. We also have a lot of experience with cats! We are reliable and caring people. True animal lovers. Everyone that knows us knows that we spoil our dogs and treat them like family (probably even better). I am a CNA of 3 years and currently in nursing school. My boyfriend, Skyler, (who grew up on a farm) will also help care for your fur baby. We do not have a fenced yard but we have a long dog run that runs from one end of my yard to the other. We live in the country on 1.5 acres. We would love to take your dog on a walk and explore the woods behind my house! We have two friendly dogs (they love cats too) that will be your animal’s new best friend! We will treat your dogs like they are apart of our family. No crates or cages unless told to. We have several comfy couches and beds for your dogs to take naps on. They will love their stay with us!

About: Love animals!!! Kids in college. Taking care of my aging parents (with no regrets) but have always loved the 4 legged ones. Have taken in strays since my childhood. We do a variety of things.

Have had several stay intermittently over the years for friends going on vacation or family members who have stayed with their pets. The more the better!

Recent high school graduate with flexible availability. As a lifelong pet lover and cat owner, I'm dedicated, attentive, and eager to provide loving, reliable pet care.

About: I was a trained volunteer dog walker for 3 years while I pursued my undergraduate degree. In graduate school, for 4 years, I was the designated pet sitter for the graduate students, several faculty, and various people in Carbondale, IL. Now, I am the first person my friends, family, and acquaintances call when they need a pet sitter or someone to walk their dogs during the day. I've met many people in Peoria through recommendations to watch their homes and care for their pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, all types of cats with different temperaments and needs, and some experience with rodents as well. I have also made house calls to help bathe dogs, clip their nails (cats too if needed!), brush their teeth, and other grooming needs. I am committed to doing my absolute best to care for your pets in any and all ways needed whether that's a long walk several times each day, a hike, an afternoon cuddle, a dance session in the kitchen, belly rubs, chin scratchies, or just someone to constantly shower your pet with love and joy while you're away doing what you need! I am the owner of Radish Kitchen in Peoria, and my schedule is very flexible. I am able to step away as often as needed throughout the day as long as I have at least 2 days notice on what your pets needs will be. If I am staying the night at a house it is very simple to make my way there after work. If I am leaving in the afternoon or several times throughout the day I can do so. My schedule is flexible and can be as accommodating as needed with enough notice. I have a dog and three cats at my own home. We have a fenced in yard, but I also walk my dog at least 4 times every day. My cats have plenty of places to nap, run, play, and watch birds throughout our home.
