Dog Walkers in Ritchie, IL

“My dog was super hyped during the first meet and Anthony's calm energy helped him relax. On his first walk, my dog didn't even look back to see if I was coming which is a good sign that he enjoys his company. Definitely booking future services with Anthony. Thank you for your patience and kindness!”

About: Hello! My name is Lexi, and I have a lot of experience dealing with dogs. For about 7 years now, family and friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs. I have worked at an animal hospital as a kennel technician as well as been a dog bather. I have learned so much from those jobs and gained a lot of knowledge on how to care for them. Working at those jobs has also helped me learn about dog behaviors and how to properly deal with them. If you choose me to be your dog walker/sitter, I can promise your baby will be in great hands! I currently have a full time job, so I will set up my calendar around that to show my availability! I will try my best to work around my schedule for my clients At my client’s homes I always make sure the dog(s) I am caring for are comfortable and happy. I am great at following directions carefully when it comes to instructions that pet parents leave for me, since that was my main responsibility at my previous job as a kennel technician. I also make time to cuddle, play with, and exercise your digs so they are as happy as can be!

About: Hello, My name is Karley and I would be pleased to help you care for your dog(s). I have grown up my entire life with dogs around (usually about three at a time), and my passion and love for dogs has no end. I currently have a male pitbull mix and a female corgi/rat terrier mix at home. (We're actually not quite sure what she is because she was a surrender to us). We adopted our boy from a local shelter July of 2019, and he has been the greatest light in our lives. I once heard "they never stop showing you how grateful they are for being adopted" and I couldn't agree more. Dogs really are human's best friend. I look forward to working with you and your pets. I currently work from home and have the ability to do drop ins or short walks during my lunch hour, or can do all-day stays during the day as long as I have a WiFi connection. I also am available for early morning walks or feedings/take outs. I work 8-5p.m. WFH schedule, and M-W I work a part-time gig at a store in the evenings from 6 p.m. to 11p.m. I am able to fit quick visits in anywhere, and schedule walks on my breaks or in-between time. I am not available on the weekends currently, but may open up my availability in the future. I believe pets are a part of the family and should be treated as such: with care, dignity, love and respect. My own pets are treated like kings and queens and I would hope I would be able to care for another person's pet with the same level of love.

About: Growing up I cared for my two dogs, an Australian cattle dog mix and a German shepherd. We loved them both to the ripe old ages of 16 and 12 respectively. In high school I spent my free time at the local animal shelter volunteering to walk and play with the various dog breeds. My entire life I have loved caring for all types of animals, so this is an amazing opportunity for me to meet even more. I am currently a college student attending school 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). All other days of the week I am free to be booked! My yard is big, but unfenced so I will have to have your dog on a leash for our walks and playtime. I do own a crate and can use it if necessary, but all the specific care instructions can be discussed individually.

About: I have been around and raised animals of all kinds from the start of my life. I love animals! I currently have 4 dogs, a 20lb doxie mix, a pit mix, mountain curr, and great pyrenees. I am comfortable with all breeds and size of dogs. I also have a spoiled inside cat, and an 11 year old barn cat that is spoiled for being outside, but he hates being inside, so he stays where he is happy. Growing up my family raised Rottweilers that the parents were police dog trained, so I learned at a young age how to train dogs. I have taken care of all kinds of animals from lizards to birds to horses and cows and of course dogs and cats and about everything in between. I have a pretty flexible schedule. Mostly during the week, but if you become a regular, I could fit in weekens too if needed. Just ask me. As of now, I am only going to do dog walking and drop in for dog or cat. My yard isn't fenced so I won't have day care until I get things set up better. I will walk your dog with whatever collar or harness you have for them and I can bring my own leashes or use yours. I'll make sure to not have them on concrete or asphalt too much if it is hot so their paws don't get hurt.

About: I’ve worked at a vet for about a year now in the back taking care of the dogs boarding. I’ve had the training and opportunities to take care of many animals, dogs, cats rabbits and of all sizes. Love working with them. I have had dogs for as long as I could remember. I’ve always been comfortable and very responsible while taking care of animals. I am also currently in school to be a Veterinary Technician which has helped me with learning to administer meds, CPR, wound care, behavioral concerns, etc. I have also gotten a lot of experience working at a vet as well as having my own animals or watching friends/ families animals. Pet is a daily thing for me, whether it be caring for my own animals, family friends animals, or even the animals I have to care for at school. It is one of the most important things to me, being a voice for animals. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at home so it a a constant thing to make sure they’re all cared for. Feeding, walking, cleaning up after them etc. It would be the same for me taking care of a clients pet. Feeding, watering, playing or walking, or cuddles. What is best for your pet and most comfortable for them.

About: I grew up with puppies and rescues my whole life. I am familiar with most breeds. I love training dogs myself. I own a German Shepherd puppy myself. I understand how important proper care is to your special pup! I care for my puppy by feeding him 3 meals a day, several potty breaks, and proper crate training. I also train my puppy everyday, insure he gets exercise, and mental stimulation. Devoted to giving your pets the same care you would give them! Can offer walks during pet setting and anything the pet may need day to day!

About: I’ve taken care of my dog since I was 11-12 years old until I was 16 and then she sadly passed away and we got a new dog and I’ve been taking care of her for 3 years. I also have experience taking care of cats I absolutely love cats. And I have experience taking care of rabbits I currently have one I take care of a rabbit and a large dog all the time. I know both need lots of love and lots of play time and attention I will listen to your pets. When they need to go out, when they need to eat, when they want to play, or cuddle. In my home I will make sure they have food and water and I will make sure they go out every 2 hours or so. If they are a larger dog they can play with my puppy she absolutely loves to play. I will also take them for a walk. At the clients home it will be the same and if I can take their animal to the dog park I will do so and let them play I know they also love playing with other animals and not always just with humans
