Dog Walkers in Princeton, IL

About: I have had dogs my whole life. Many breeds from labs to aussies to huskies. I can bathe, trim nails, and exercise your pets if need be. I work in a dental office throughout the week but my hours are flexible. I can work around the schedule if I can plan ahead. I plan on following the instructions the client has for the pet. If the pet parent does not want the pet to be off leash or walked in a certain part of town, I will follow those rules. I am particularly about my own dog and her safety so I completely understand where people are coming from when it comes to letting someone else watch their pet.

About: I have been around dogs since I can remember. I love to talk to my dogs like they are my kids. Play with them to keep them active and moving around. I treat every dog like they are my own I’m currently going to school so working part time. I love dogs so this works perfectly with my schedule and I get to hangout with dogs all day I have a fenced in yard, and keep an eye my dogs whenever they are outside to make sure they are okay. I don’t allow them to chew on anything that isint a toy or jumping. I follow whatever the owner would like me to do, because everybody raises their animals differently. I respect every persons preferences and will abide by that.

About: I've volunteered at an animal shelter and a zoo working with all types of animals. I was a dog handler at a dog daycare for 2 years where I learned how to understand dog body language and healthy dog play. I also helped with in-home pet care while working at the dog daycare. I have a reactive 12 year old mutt (Victor) that I adore so much. He has been my family's most rewarding and challenging dog yet, and he has improved on handling his emotions after I started learning about positive reinforcement through my dog daycare job. I have pet sat for friends and family and look forward to meeting your dogs and cats too! I am available this winter! Feel free to message me and I can check my calendar! I'd love to meet you and your pets. 🐶 Full-time pet sitter/dog walker 🐱 For my reactive dog, I play music and use baby gates to block windows he usually barks out of before I leave the house. This keeps him more comfortable and calm while I'm away. In pet owner's homes, I make sure to follow instructions and give pets, treats, and play time before I leave.

About: I have had dogs since I was born. I currently have two black labs and have walked, fed, and trained them. I love to be around dogs and have a lot of experience with them since I have taken care of dogs for my whole life. I currently am on break from school and I work part time Thursday through Saturday, so I am available Sundays through Wednesdays. With my part time job, I am also flexible throughout the weekend. I have a fenced in yard and I love to play fetch with my pups, take them for walks, and just be outside playing with them. I also love to cuddle up with them on the couch to relax.

About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats all my life. I can’t think of a time where I didn’t have an animal. I have always thought of them as my own. I truly have a special place in my heart for animals. I have dog sat for my uncle and brother multiple times. I would feed, water, let them out, etc. I also have cat sat for my cousin multiple times as well. That also included cleaning the litter box. I wake up and I feed my cats while i have my breakfast. After I get done brushing my teeth, I clean their litter box. I also always try to get cuddle time with them before going to work. I always check on my animals. If i feel or see something different, I call the vet right away. I take animals health seriously. They are so fragile.

About: My boyfriend and I have always had animals in our lives. Growing up he lived on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, pigs etc. and I have had dogs and cats my whole life. We currently have 2 beautiful Great Danes, a bunch of rabbits, outside kitties, and 3 chinchillas! Our dogs love people, small animals, and would love a bigger dog to run around with. We would love to cuddle with your fur babies, go for walks, or just play in the fenced yard! With summer coming up we know that it’s going to be vacation time, you deserve to be able to enjoy and relax on vacation while knowing your animals are well taken care of. Me and my boyfriend work mornings and get lunch breaks half way through, so we’d be able to check on your animals even while working and we can be with them all afternoon. On Wednesdays and Thursdays we are both off so they’d get us all day! We have a 2 story house with lots of room for them to lay around and have their own space if needed. We also have a large backyard that is fenced off already for our dogs.

About: I recently lost my soul dog, Wilson. He was a 14 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He is in the picture with me. I have a second Cavalier named Auggie. I worked with Wilson to become a certified therapy dog. He retired when he was 10. When he was around 9 he became deaf. Therefore, I have years of experience with a deaf dog. I have experience with dogs from puppy through old age. My grown children also have dogs. I have included some of those dogs in the pictures. We have a bulldog, a golden retriever, a boxer, a lab, and several mixed breed rescues in our family! I have decided to offer my services on Rover to help fill a void after losing my beloved Wilson. I look forward to loving your dog as my own! I work full-time but am home on weekends and have extended breaks in my work when I am home. My home is set up for animals but I am also willing to provide services in your home. For care in my home, I have a large yard in a park-like setting. My house is set up for pets with limited carpet, doggie steps to lay on a comfy couch, windows to watch squirrels and keep an eye on the mailman. I am also available to love your pets in your home.

About: Hi I’m Reise!! I am experienced with caring for cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, and hamsters. I have rescued quite a few furry friends over the years and found them amazing FUR-EVER homes! ❤️ I’m not looking to foster at this time but wouldn’t mind boarding a dog or two here and there while their people are on vacation or work trips! I could also do house visits as well as walking. I’m really down for anything and love animals. I have 2 dogs right now but I love animals so much it’s my passion to make a small difference and find animals close to home to work with and take on walks while their owner may be busy. I’m a stay at home mom, so when I say I have the free time I really mean it and would love to help. I hope you choose me to care for your pet, I really look forward to talking with and meeting you. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!!! :) I am free all the time!!! I’m a stay at home mom. Sundays we usually have family time for a few hours and like to have breakfast all together.. other than that I am free! :) My dogs have a fenced in yard and run to ensure their safety while playing outside. It’s not that I feel my dogs are unsafe, but you never know how someone else’s dog walking by might react when there are dogs outside already. I use StarMark collars on my dogs, these collars guarantee that they won’t and can’t really slip away, these collars are great especially if your dog pulls, my dog used to pull a lot and I was able to get him to do great while walking. I love being able to work with dogs 1 on 1 at first so they can get learn to trust me and feel safe!! Both of my dogs are extremely friendly. Bear is the most gentle giant and Daisy is just the sweetest girl ever. I would love to get to know you & your animals.
