Dog Walking Pekin

About: I’ve been a pet owner my entire life and currently care for four cats and one dog, so I understand the love, patience, and responsibility that come with caring for animals. Growing up with pets has taught me how to recognize their individual personalities and needs, whether they love to play, cuddle, or simply enjoy a calm companion. I’m dependable, attentive, and will make sure your pets receive the same love and care I give my own. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or keeping up with their routine, I’ll treat your furry family like they’re part of mine. I’m currently a student and work part-time. I will be available early mornings, late afternoons, evenings, and weekends to care for your pets! I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect as my own. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, provide fresh food and water, ensure they get plenty of attention and exercise, keep owners updated with photos and messages, and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness.

About: I've had & taken care of cats & dogs since I was 7 years old! Over the past 5 years I've moved into caring for the pets of other's just as a favor to friends & family. Now I want to leave corporate America & care for furry family members professionally. I'm currently working on making pet sitting my full time job so my availability is completely open for around the clock care whether your pet is an early riser or a night owl! I prefer to care for pets in their own space as I have roommates at this time & our landlord doesn't allow pets on property.

About: I have had a dog my entire life. Each one has been a unique part of the family. Tucker is my baby who I’ve had since he was a puppy. He is my whole world! I'm very trustworthy and I'll treat your dogs as if they're my own! I love to play with dogs, will take them for walks, or just hangout and give them a good scratch or brushing. I'm willing to do anything else you'd like so they feel comfortable, like a meet-and-greet! I've dog sat several times before and I really enjoy it! I hope to meet your dog (and you) soon! I’m currently available in the afternoons/evenings and the weekends! Feel free to message me and I will do my best to be available to you in order for your pets to be cared for! I will do anything you’d like me to with your dog and my goal is to make them feel comfortable! I am all about making them feel at home, getting exercise, or whatever your dogs needs are!

“Risa was great! Communicates in a timely manner and was willing to come meet our pup prior to our scheduled day since it was his first time with her.”

About: I have experience caring for animals of all sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and basic routines. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure each fur baby gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care.

“Kassidy did a great job with our dog, Moe. She was very accommodating and responsive. I booked at the last minute and she was able to make time to do a meet and greet before our first scheduled walk. She was wonderful about communicating how Moe did on his walls and always included pictures. We will definitely use Kassidy for future services.”

About: Hello there! You can call me Jack! I have lived with and loved animals my entire life, learning to care for puppies, adult dogs and cats, rescues, and guinea pigs. Safety and compassion for your pet are my top priorities. I will meet your pet with what they need. I am a recent graduate from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. I am home for the time being and work a part-time job. I am willing to work out a schedule with you and your pet. Compassion and safety are my priorities, but when caring for your pet, your priorities are my priorities. I respect how you would like your animal to be cared for. Whatever your pet needs, I will go out of my way to make sure they are taken care of.

About: As a pet owner myself, I completely understand how important your fur babies mean to you. I adore both dogs and cats. I have rescued my own cats and taken care of my friends' dogs( small and big ones) for years. I am experienced with oral medication administration for both cats and dogs and giving extra care for the senior fur babies. To further spread my love, care, and smile to your pets and also ease your mind when you are away from home, I will privide premium pet and house sitting services which will meet your requirements and expectations. Please feel free to contact me with all your questions and concerns and I will respond to you as soon as possible ( normally within one hour) and let's make it as efficient and effective as possible. Thank you for your considerations. I am currently working part-time and will have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I am available Wednesdays and Thursdays and weekends after 10am. However, I am flexible enough so that we can always arrange a time to fit your schedule. I offer dog care at your home instead of mine. I would like to meet the pets and the owners first to make sure it is a good fit for us. Moreover, I prefer friendly and well behaved pets who have all the necessary updated shots records to keep both parties safe. Furthermore, please let me know any special needs of your pets so that I make sure I will definitely fulfill those needs.

About: I treat every dog like family, not just a job. What differentiates me from other sitters is my genuine love and attention to each pet. I take the time to understand your dog's personality, routine, and needs, whether it's playtime, walks, medication, or the comfort of being there. I'm reliable and communicative, and I always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected even when you're away. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. With me, you're not just getting a sitter but someone who truly cares. I begin each day around 7 AM by letting the dogs out for a bathroom break, feeding them, and engaging in playtime to ensure they're comfortable and content. During my work hours, I make it a point to let them outside every 3–4 hours, and I'm flexible to increase this frequency if necessary. I'm diligent about adhering to their medication schedules, ensuring timely administration, and preparing the appropriate meals for them. This structured routine helps maintain their health and well-being. I prioritize safety during my dog-sitting services by ensuring that all doors and gates are securely locked and that dogs wear their collars at all times. I use well-fitted harnesses and leashes when walking, avoiding retractable leashes to maintain better control. I also take precautions to prevent escapes by keeping dogs away from open doors and gates and using baby gates or other barriers. Additionally, I stay vigilant during walks, avoiding distractions like phone use and being cautious around other animals or unfamiliar people. These measures help ensure the dogs' safety and prevent any potential accidents.

About: Hi, I’m Frankie! I’ve had animals my entire life and have been caring for them professionally and personally for over 20 years. I have a little zoo of my own, so I’m comfortable with just about anything—dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, horses, and even some creepy crawlies! I also have lots of dog training experience(although not certified) and don’t shy away from energetic, stubborn, or more challenging pets. I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾 My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m available for drop-ins and walks throughout the week and on weekends. I can accommodate a variety of times during the day, but I do not schedule visits after 9 PM. I follow each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions closely. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes and feeding, and I always make sure pets are safe and comfortable before I leave. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates!

About: I bring extensive professional experience in animal care and behavior, including years in shelter leadership and hands-on behavior work with fearful, anxious, and reactive animals. My background includes behavior assessment, stress reduction, enrichment planning, and individualized care for dogs who struggle with transitions, confinement, or unfamiliar people. I am especially comfortable working with dogs who need structure, patience, and clear communication rather than force or correction. I prioritize low stress handling, predictable routines, and meeting dogs where they are emotionally, not just physically. My goal is always to keep animals safe, supported, and understood while their people are away. I maintain a flexible, well-managed schedule that allows me to accommodate a wide range of client needs, including weekdays, weekends, and varying visit times, with appropriate advance notice. I care for pets by balancing structure with relationship-building. I focus on creating predictable routines, clear communication, and calm expectations while also prioritizing rapport, confidence, and emotional safety. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals and adjust care in real time to meet each pet where they are emotionally. Rather than forcing compliance, I help animals work through fear, overstimulation, or uncertainty at a pace they can handle. Whether in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to create a low-stress environment where pets feel safe, understood, and supported, which allows genuine progress and trust to develop. My pets at home enjoy structure along with play and lots of quiet time. My dog, Albany, enjoys finding hidden treats in a fenced backyard. My three cats, Duchess, Wanda, and Addie, enjoy plenty of naps, wand toy play time, and many hours of cuddling and watching tv.
