Dog Walking Philo

About: Passionate for Paws! 🐾🐾❤️ I strongly believe that our furry loved ones deserve the utmost care while we're away. This can be fostered through a variety of pet sitting services, but for me, I love to help out by offering drop-in visits and in-home sitting. I've been pet sitting for over 6 years, and I've had cats and dogs my entire life (currently 6 cats and 2 dogs)! Taking care of animals is one of my passions, and I’m grateful I’ve had the opportunity to further develop it through pet sitting. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Hope to see a message from you soon! 😁🐶🐱 Facebook Pet Sitting Page- @ Emma F's Pet Sitting I am attending college and have a part-time job, but I have many breaks during the day and look forward to making time for pet sitting. I pride myself in doing the best work possible to ensure an animal’s safety and comfortability in their own home. I stay in contact with pet parents and ask questions as they arise to make sure their furry friends are doing well.

About: Hi! I’m Bailey — I’ve worked in the vet field my entire career and am studying to become a veterinarian. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters and love all animals! With my experience and care, your pets will be in great hands for pet sitting. I am currently only working part time and have tons of time on my hands my main focus will be caring for pets and college! I have three cats and a snake myself, I have grown up with dogs, cats, reptiles, you name it. Caring for pets will always be my priority!

About: I grew up taking care of our family dogs, cats, birds, fish, guinea pigs, snakes, tarantulas, and horses. With my love and closeness to animals growing up, I continued into the veterinary medicine world after high school and have worked within clinic settings for the past 7 years! I am experienced and comfortable with administering both oral and injectable medications, bathing, and much more. I plan to become a certified veterinary technician as well in the near future. While I do work full time during the week, I am still often able to accommodate multiple visits a day due to my lunch break! I don’t mind an early morning to make sure your pets are taken care of before the workday either. Because mid-day visits are on my break, the time I will be available for these visit will be dependent on the travel time. As my apartment is too small to accommodate any dogs or additional cats, I would be treating your home with the utmost respect! It’s your (and especially your pet’s) safe space, and that needs to be protected. I will always clean up after any messes if they are made by your pet and reach out to make sure you’re aware!

“Masha is the best dog walker. Would recommend her service to anyone and any pet. She went above and beyond beyond for us. Very thankful to have had her take care of our pup.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters? I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s a slow walk for an older pup or high-energy playtime for a young one, I meet animals where they are. I have two dogs of my own—Theo and Sage—so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Beyond personal experience, I have a BA in animal science and I’m currently in the process of earning my master’s degree in Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication, with a focus on companion animals. I also work as an assistant educator, so I bring a calm, thoughtful approach to every visit. I’m confident administering medications, caring for nervous or senior pets, and yes—I genuinely don’t mind deep-cleaning litter boxes. I treat every animal like family, with patience, care, and a whole lot of love I’m currently working full time until 3pm. However Whether it’s morning walks, meal times, or evening play sessions, I’m used to planning my day around pets’ needs. I live in a three-story townhouse with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable—whether they want to play or have their own quiet area. My own dogs are friendly, but I can easily keep pets separate if needed. I also have some dog training experience, so I’m confident handling different temperaments and routines. Your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for here or in your home! I do ask that your pet be crate trained and doesn't bark in the crate since I do live very close to neighbors.

About: I have lived with dogs and cats my whole life since I was born with the dogs ranging in sizes from Chihuahuas to Rottweilers. I have volunteered at 2 different animal shelters since I was 15 years old as well as fostered both cats and dogs. I have experience in training young pets from working with my own over the years I work a flexible part-time schedule, meaning I am only away for a few hours at a time during the week. My schedule is completely open on weekends for boarding. Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks! I live in a spacious apartment within a secure, gated community surrounded by walking trails. My home is a quiet, low-stress environment with just me and my roommate. As a professional caregiver for humans, I am highly experienced in following specific routine instructions and will treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect.

“Rachel came through on less than a day's notice and walked my dog, Jones, through an inconveniently timed rain shower. She was perfectly punctual and clearly adept at handling dogs. Jones came back very wet and equally happy. I will not ask Rachel to walk my dog through any more downpours if I can avoid it, but she's definitely the first person I'll go to when looking for dog care in the future.”

About: Veterinary student, veterinary assistant in Champaign, veterinary ER experience, personal animals my whole life including dogs of all age, size, and disposition. Passionate about making lifelong client and pet relationships in this community! I am enjoying my final summer before my third and fourth years of veterinary school, and have availability 7 days a week. I prefer staying with the pets I am sitting, but drop ins work for me as well. I have experience with all kinds of dogs in all stages of their life. Each dog has their own individual needs that you know best, and the better I know your pup the more I can tailor my visits. I love playing with puppies to tire them out, and have equal love for older pets, even those with special care needs.

“Avery helped me out with a last minute request for dog walking. She arrived a few minutes early each day, and my dog was so happy to see her. She is responsible and attentive to my dog, and I highly recommend her!”

Whether a playful pup, a senior dog with special needs, or a shy rescue, I take the time to understand and connect with each pet. I’ve worked in professional dog day cares, groomers, and veterinary clinics. I am comfortable with everything from high-energy play to gentle care for nervous or senior pets. I’m also experienced with a wide range of training styles and behavior types, and I adapt easily to your pet’s unique routine. Over the years, I’ve looked after the pets of friends and family many times, and I used to have a sweet Russian Blue cat of my own ( pictured in my profile!). I genuinely love caring for animals, and I’ve often been told I have a calm, natural way with them—and that people feel confident trusting me with their furry family members. Whether you need help with a dog, cat, puppy, or senior, I’m here to give them the same love, care, and attention I’d give my own. I strive to make scheduling easy and stress-free with a flexible calendar and open, reliable communication.

“Madison is fantastic, attentive, and goes the extra mile!! Cleo LOVES walks with Madie and her tail wags as soon as she sees her. She has been so reliable and consistent with her help and we appreciate her SO MUCH!!”

About: I have been around animals my whole life, I got my own dog when I was in elementary school and he still means the world to me this day. I always took the initiative to care for my pets growing up and that’s carried into my adult life as well. I think expressing love to animals is so important because we’re all they have. I have a dog myself and he is my world. Your fur babes deserve all the love in the world and I’d love to give it to them! I have many years of experience caring for dogs and I’m very confident in the care I can provide! Having my sweet pup Smokey means the most to me and I’m so happy to be a full time dog mom ❤️ I hope to be the perfect fit as a sitter for you! I am a full time stay at home wife/dog mom. I have nothing but time on my hands and would love to share it with you and your pet(s)! I do not currently offer services in my home due to the lack of space. However, I would love to care for your pets in your home!

About: I have an extensive background in professional animal care at grooming and boarding facilities, veterinary clinics, and educational institutions. I am fear-free and pet CPR certified and the owner of my small business, Passionate Pet Care where I consider the health and happiness of my clients to be my top and only priority. I graduated in 2024 with my bachelors degree in Animal Poultry and Veterinary Sciences and am currently obtaining my DVM degree at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign. Throughout my many experiences, I have become comfortable working with a variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and health conditions. If I had to choose 2 words to describe myself, they would be reliable and attentive. I have a deep passion for animal welfare and I hope to have the privilege of meeting your little family member soon! I’m currently off for summer break so my availability is open! I am used to caring for pets on a daily basis as I have a 5 year old domestic short hair, Leo and I often help my parents and friends care for their pets. The safety and comfort of every pet in my care are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, preferences, and any special needs to ensure they feel secure and well cared for while you're away. I closely follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions provided by pet parents. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat the home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I keep doors and gates secure, maintain a clean environment, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away! <3

About: I am a proud mother of a 9yr old son and an 15 yr old daughter.. My daughter is usually at school for most of the day. However, caring for both full time I have come to notice animals stimulate both kids and teach them respect, responsibility and routine. We are excited to em"bark" on this new chapter in life and cant wait to start. Together, I believe all 3 of my family unit would not only love, but sincerely enjoy even the smallest and largest pets while their 'parents' are away or just need some attention. With summer upon us - my schedule (and helping hands) have become more flexible. Currently, I am available every day from 6am to 7pm. Holidays, weekends, and every day that ends in "Y"! With respect to the pet , clients home, and specific care needs, I try to always keep an open mind and heart but keeping respect in the foreground.

I’ve worked at a doggy daycare for a year and 2 months as well where I specialize in cleaning after the dogs taking care of them and of course having fun with them as well The Animal Keeper is the name of the place I work at. I work with dogs on a daily basis, my job entitles me to work with all types of dogs from small little cute dogs to big Great Danes who think they’re still lap dogs. I will watch over them closely, if I sit down to watch tv they’ll be right there with me, if I go out to grab something to eat they’ll be right there with me, if I go out into the backyard( if you have one of course) they’ll be right there with me they will have the most enjoyable time in my care!
