Dog Walking Peoria

About: I've been in a 2-3 dog (and later on one grumpy cat) household my entire life. My shared company of animals is a major part of my identity and is represented now by my pursuit of a degree in animal sciences. At times, I feel I understand them better than people; they've always been an anchor for me in difficult times. I hope my passion for creatures big and small can shine during my time caring for your furry friends. Since moving away from home to attend Oregon State University, I leave behind two goofball dogs, Grizzly Bear and Tig, and one sassy old cat, Hazel, my little lady. As a full-time student at OSU, I have classes Monday thru Friday, and though I am unopposed to weekday commitments, weekends are when I am most free. My availability: Wednesday - 1pm and beyond free Thursday - 7pm-9pm Friday - 3pm and beyond free Saturday - All day available Sunday - All day available I am open to helping out on weekdays if I am not too swamped, and would do better with short term commitments, but weekends are wide open! I am experienced with all types of pups, from chill to nervous. Throughout the walk/stay/visit, I will clearly communicate how I conduct your animal's routine and how your pets are doing during our time together. I will never do something I feel uncomfortable with and this includes keeping the safety of myself and your pet as the main priority.

About: My family has owned dogs my entire life. Part of my chores around the house has always been taking my dog out on a walk around the neighborhood and I have the skill necessary to keep my dog safe from other dogs that might not be so friendly while also allowing him to go about his business. We have owned dogs in the past that weren’t so friendly and I had learned how to keep them under control. I currently work 1 day a week at a golf course and am available any day of the week to walk your dog! Any time of day works for me. If I am ever at a clients house dog sitting, I will always be sure to keep the dog/s in a safe area while also allowing them to have their allowed freedom and ensure they don’t do anywhere they are not supposed to

About: I have taken care of multiple types of animals, I started pet sitting for neighbors around the age of 7. I have a deep love for all animals including reptiles, birds, and spiders! Im in school for psychology, so I have a fairly open schedule and I normally spend a lot of time outdoors anyway and i love to take dogs on walks I am offering multiple walks, feedings, and checkins as needed. I spend a lot of time with my pets, I even have a harness and take my cat on hikes. I have a deep love for animals and I prefer to spend my time with them

“Allysa is very calm which my dog needs. She communicates well and is flexible in her schedule which helps us a great deal. I definitly recommend her.”

About: All my life I’ve been obsessed with dogs 🐶 When I was finishing up nursing school, I needed to find some part time work to help make ends meet. I found a job as a kennel technician at a commercial dog boarding facility - where I mostly cleaned up to 36 dogs daily messes and gave them social enrichment. I quickly jumped up the short ladder of management and took over as CEO right around my first year mark of employment. I have cared for hundreds, possibly a thousand plus dogs in the last half of my entire lifetime. I’ve worked hard to help dogs and owners alike understand eachother better - communication often needs no words. I specialize in “project pups”, socialization and reactivity. I’ve taken care of newborn puppies to teenage obedience school dropouts - through the medically fragile & elderly pooches on palliative care & absolutely everything in between. I’ve worked in a rescue as an adoption coordinator and had the extreme pleasure of helping people and pooches find their forever spaces together. Along with rescuing over a dozen dogs of my own over the years & nursing several back to health from horrific conditions. Dogs are my passion - simple as that. Nothing makes me happier than helping a dog & owner relationship thrive. I am a stay at home mom, my boys are 2 & 3 years old. They’ve been raised around dogs & already have learned a healthy respect for their space. I am hyper vigilant & always err on the extreme side of caution for everyone’s safety - especially when it comes to those tricky resources. Other than weekly appointments on Mondays - we have a very flexible and open schedule. Our yard is fully fenced with 6 foot - reinforced wood fencing. Gates are double locked to keep toddlers from opening them - dogs too. I have a 10 year old spayed female border collie that I picked from her litter at 3 weeks old. She’s my right hand gal and socially bulletproof when it comes to hanging out with her furry friends. I often used her as the “Ice Breaker” dog when I ran the boarding facility - meaning she did all the temperament testing for any newly boarded dogs we were socially unsure about. We have multiple baby gates, and crate option for separation of space. A dog door built into our back door leading into our fully fenced, toddlerized but maintained, grassy residential yard on a quarter acre. We live in a very quiet tiny town on an even quieter little street, perfect for safely regulated walks and training opportunities.

I have a very open availability, I'm only away for ~10hrs spread out between two days during the weekdays. I can pop for however long or stay for a couple of hours! Whatever the pet needs I can provide. I keep a watchful, attentive eye on the pets I care for. I give them my full attention when playing with them, and whenever they ask for attention. I treat all animals with respect and play with them in a style suited for each individual personality.

About: I've been around pets my whole life and love animals and I am quite good with them. I've pet sit and walked many times before. I am extremely responsible and currently work another job.

In my home I am in charge of feeding and cleaning after all my pets and making sure they are getting played with enough.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and other small animals, so I’m comfortable with everything from walks and playtime to feeding, cleaning, medication routines, and lots of cuddles.

I’ll also send updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and safe while you’re away! 🐾💕

About: I've lived with my dog, Avery, for about 10 years back home, have cared for family friends' dogs when needed, have participated in fetch-a-friend multiple times with Heartland Humane Shelter, and I am very comfortable around cats as well. I can provide a very active few days running or walking for your pets, or I can keep them homely company while you are away. Since I have a car, if desired, I can take your pets to the park or just on short car rides. If your pets have any medications required, or specific eating/dosage times, I will make sure to set alarms to stay on time and dependable. My main job right now is DoorDash, so any time you need me to be available is free. My schedule can allow for week-long petcare, if needed, or just a short walk :3 I try my best to be friendly, understanding, and patient with any pets I interact with; if a pet is trying to tell me something, I will pay my best attention! Additionally, if a pet needs some space while adjusting to me or the lack of usual people around, I can provide that space while still keeping an eye on them.

About: Growing up, my family fostered more than 10 dogs, giving me experience with dogs of many breeds, personalities, and care needs. Combined with over 10 years of caring for animals, this taught me the patience, consistency, and attention every pet deserves. Hi! I'm Jaedyn, and animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family fostered more than 10 dogs, and I loved helping care for them. Being around so many different breeds, personalities, and energy levels taught me that every pet is unique and deserves patience, consistency, and individualized care. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have years of experience caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, frogs, and other small animals. I raised, bred, and showed rabbits through 4-H, where I learned the importance of recognizing health concerns, maintaining consistent routines, and building trust with animals through calm, attentive care. I'm especially comfortable with shy or nervous pets and enjoy taking the time to earn their trust at their own pace. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventure or prefers quiet companionship, I'll meet them where they're most comfortable. With my flexible schedule, I'm able to give pets plenty of attention while you're away. I'll treat your pet like they're my own, keep you updated with photos and messages, and do my best to make sure both you and your pet feel completely at ease. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Because I volunteer part-time, I'm able to adjust my schedule around your pet's routine whenever possible. Whether that means multiple potty breaks, long walks, playtime, medication, or overnight house sitting, my goal is to keep their day as normal as possible while you're away. For house sitting, I can often spend the majority of the day with your pet if that's something they'd benefit from. If I'll need to step away, I'll always communicate that with you beforehand so there are no surprises. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. Before every booking, I take time to learn their normal schedule, favorite activities, medications, feeding routine, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable while you're away. I'm especially patient with shy or nervous pets and understand that some animals need a little extra time to warm up to someone new. I never rush interactions and always let pets build trust at their own pace. During walks and visits, I'm careful about securely attaching leashes before opening doors, checking gates, and paying close attention to my surroundings. In your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect I'd want someone to show mine, following your instructions carefully and making sure everything is secure before I leave. You'll also receive regular updates and plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: Hi! I’m a first year veterinary student at Oregon State University with a strong passion for animal care and years of hands on experience working with pets of all kinds. Before starting vet school, I worked as a veterinary technician at VCA Animal Hospital, where I gained valuable clinical skills and became comfortable administering injectables, giving oral medications, and providing attentive, high quality care to every animal I worked with. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own: prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. I grew up with both dogs and cats, so being around animals has always been a huge part of my life. While my schedule in vet school doesn’t currently allow me to have pets of my own, dog walking and pet care gives me the perfect opportunity to still spend time with animals and helping pet owners feel confident that their beloved companions are in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine and is something I genuinely enjoy. As a first year vet student, I use dog walks and visits as a refreshing break between classes and studying. It’s a great way for me to destress while still spending time doing what I love...caring for animals. I provide care in my clients’ homes to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow all instructions closely: feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications. While I currently have two cats in my apartment and am unable to host pets in my home, I’m very reliable with drop in visits and dog walking.
