Dog Walkers in Rockton, IL

“Krystal was absolutely amazing! We have 2 dogs between 50-60 lbs each. We were gone for a week during the coldest time and Krystal was fantastic. She was able to walk dogs an hour each day and always sent updates about the weather, how they were doing, and feedback on the walks. She also sent pictures. She was great at very communication and really understand dogs and their behaviors. I highly highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life. I’ve cared for animals ranging from mice to horses. I have worked in vet clinics and have done a lot of research on my own time. They are my passion. I currently have the most experience in dogs. I’m actively an apprentice with a local dog trainer to be a positive reinforcement force free trainer. I am also studying canine behavior. I have experience in doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming. I have administered medications ranging from oral medicine to injections (subq and intermuscular). Like I said before, I love em like my own! I am home all day most days. I do have two dogs of my own so they are always outside playing. Pet care is what I do when I wake up to when I go to bed. I’m available most days for play dates, walks, boarding, grooming, and more! I have a large fenced in yard. I also have so so many dog toys. I have two dogs as well so your baby can make friends! I can offer crates when we leave or at night if you prefer! I have plenty of house for them to be in as well, also plenty of people to love on them! Your baby will never be alone!

“Brandi is so great with Milo! He loves going on walks with her and the treats she brings for him! She’s great about sending update pictures of their walk too!”

About: I work from home, so I am able to walk my own dogs 2-3 miles a day. I know how much they enjoy it and would love to be able to help others out that are not able to walk their pets as much as they would like. I frequently go on walks and runs multiple times a day, so adding a four-legged friend to my walking would be perfect. My work schedule is very flexible so I’m able to move things around as needed. I do not currently care for other pets in my home. I have 3 Siberian Huskies all under the age of 5 so it’s already a full house!

“Thanks for setting up meet & greet so quickly! I appreciate the pics from your walk today and Bella seems very relaxed and content after her hour walk. Much needed!”

About: I’ve had pets all my life. My family is full of animal lovers and know they can rely on me if they need someone to care for their pet for any reason. I have experience with end of life care for cats, administering pills and fluids to cats, and feeding cats by mouth with a syringe. One of my cats has asthma and takes pills to manage it. I have experience caring for my sister’s chihuahua, and caring for hamsters as my sisters and I had them as pets growing up. Petsitting is my main job at the moment, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m normally available for house sitting both weekdays and weekends, however I do have my own obligations and pets of my own to care for, so I must be able to leave for ~4 to 5 hours at some times. Due to this, I am not always able to accept requests for constant care (meaning pets who cannot be left alone for more than 1-3 hours, as an example)l. I spend as much quality time with my clients as I can, giving them plenty of love and attention. I love cuddling with them if they’re cuddlers and using their favorite toys when I play with them. I cannot take on higher energy dogs to care for, as I cannot keep up with them enough to give them the stimulation and exercise they need to thrive.

About: I have been helping to take care of family pets for the last handful of years. Taking walks and check ins for potty breaks and food! I work full time, 40 hours a week. Will be able to work before and after shifts, days off, weekends included! Holidays depend on availability. I ensure all environments are clean, safe, and comfortable for the pets. Food, water, clean litter available at all times when I am there with them

About: Growing up I lived in the country with cows, horses and chickens next door. We always had many cats and dogs because we had the space and they just knew we would take them in if they didn't have a home. I wish I had the space now to have more animals but since I dont, it would be an honor to take care of yours. My experience with animals would be having a cat that needed shots daily for diabetes, a blind dog, dog that had seizures, taking care of friends and family's pets. Some which needed daily medicine or had a lot of energy : ). I ppreciate the trust they have in me to take care of their fur family members. Each pet, like humans, have their own personality. I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule N/A not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable

About: My whole life I’ve been around dogs. Practically everyone in my friends and family have a pup of varying sizes. I’ve been trusted to feed and walk their fur babies. My sister adopted a senior dog a couple of years ago, and it has been my biggest pleasure to get to know her better as well as what separates a senior dog from a younger one. I have been trusted to stay with her, take her outside to potty, take her on walks, and feed her whenever my sister is away. Each day is different, so I’ve been able to adapt on the fly to suit her needs for each day best. I have a flexible work schedule, so even though I have more traditional work hours, I can take 30 minutes or an hour to come visit with your pet and let them outside to walk or potty based on their needs. I do not work after 4pm, so if you need me overnight with your pet, they will have my full attention until 8am the next morning when I go to work. I am able to leave work briefly to check up on your pet during the day as well. I am someone who enjoys a clean space. Our furry friends deserve to have a clean space themselves and clean bodies. If there is mud to be wiped off of their paws, I will happily take care of it, and clean up any mud that was tracked inside. Anything that I can do to pamper your pet and make them feel safe around me is the least I can do. I look forward to making new furry friends!

About: I've been passionate about caring for animals since I was a little girl. Over the years, I've developed strong bonds with the pets I've looked after. My experience includes working at animal shelters, doggy daycares, and farms, allowing me to interact with a wide range of personalities, ages, and breeds. Currently, I have two rescue kittens (7 months and 3 months old), and I look forward to spending time with your furry friend(s)! I work part time currently at a Dog Daycare and Boarding Facility, but I have a lot of free time and days off to spend time with your pets when you’re at work or out of town:) I live in an apartment so I would not be able to care for pets in my home, but I would be willing to House Sit, and I have a reliable source of transportation.

About: I'm currently in school for my RN. I have worked in Hospice for a few years now, and for awhile I provided doggy hospice for my last pup (Callie) that passed in January of 2022, she was with me almost 17 years. I now have a crazyyyy puppy. I live less than 5 minutes from my job so my pup gets a lot of my time. I do work around 2-4 days a week so I'm looking to fill my free time with more pups and I know my puppy is craving someone to play with. Each dog I care for is cared for in different ways, no care is the same. Some are very high energy and require time and patience. Others are more timid and don't need as much couching.

About: I have much experience with animals. I have had a couple pets growing up including dogs, cats, and even a guinea pig! I love all animals! I am currently a full time college student and work full time as well! I am looking for part time work after 3pm Monday-Friday and open availability on Saturday and Sunday! When I had my dog a little over 5 years ago- I had a great set up for him. I had a kennel, leash for walks, and endless amounts of toys and treats! I loved bringing my dog on car rides which included getting a pup cup or some ice cream. I also enjoyed bringing my dog on walk and hikes!

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the calm, patient energy I bring to caring for them. While I don’t have formal dog-sitting experience yet, I’ve spent a lot of time around animals and naturally connect with them. I’m great at picking up on their moods and giving them the space or attention they need. I’m responsible, observant, and fully committed to making sure every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently focus on pet sitting full-time, which allows me to be flexible and fully present for each pet I care for. I plan my days around their needs—whether that’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I enjoy creating a calm, consistent routine that helps pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and particularly of the family. I have plenty of space for them to relax, play, and explore at their own pace. I keep a calm, clean environment and follow their usual routine as closely as possible—whether that’s mealtimes, medications, or special comforts they’re used to. I give them lots of attention, gentle care, and one-on-one time. My home is a peaceful space where pets can feel at ease while their owners are away.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and currently have 4 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I treat every pet like family and understand how important it is to have someone reliable and loving. I’m experienced, trustworthy, and always go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I am currently between jobs, so this allows me the time and flexibility to stop in and check on your furry friend as often as needed. Whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or just some company, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs to ensure they feel secure and at ease. I treat every home and animal with the same respect and care I give my own. You can trust that your furry friend will never be rushed or ignored. I provide a calm, loving environment and am committed to keeping your pet happy, healthy, and safe while you’re away. I also provide regular updates, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing.

“Abbey was fantastic! Great communicator and sent pics and updates. Will use her again!”

About: I’ve grown up with a minimum of 4 dogs in our house at all times. We’ve had dogs that ranged from Boston terriers to golden retrievers, to American bulldogs and everything in between.... like French bulldogs, and a husky-collie mix. I do well with small and large dogs! A little dog fur never hurt anyone! Love the kisses and cuddling dogs provide! I am currently a stay at home dog mom to an adorable little Frenchton (3/4 French Bulldog 1/4 Boston Terrier) so my schedule is wide open! In my home my little puppy and I spend a lot of time in the backyard playing fetch. While it isn’t fenced in, she does have a tie out with a long leash just for her and she has a blast on it. She knows when to stop so she doesn’t get choked on it and we enjoy our time out there.

About: I've grown up with pets in the home my whole life. When I turned 18 I set out on my own dog filled path. I have been grooming dogs and ran my own business at 18 then shortly after decided to go on of fulfilling my dream of becoming a dog trainer. I've taken many classes on dog behavior and have rescued over 34 dogs in my short couple years of doing it. I aim to make the dogs comfortable and happy and use my patience to help them with that! Also after dog boarding or sitting I offer basic dogs wash, blow dry & nail trim ❤️ I will not take nonfriendly or aggressive dogs. I have 2 children & 4 dogs . I have a nice sized yard and friendly pups that love to play. We also have tons of trails by our home so walking places is always fun! && for those nice warm days we have a doggy pool where they can cool off. I do not work so dogs and training are my life. I have tons of time and energy plus patience to help your dog have the best stay. Pets are always under my supervision 24/7 and if I need to leave the home or cannot give them my full attention I crate them for everyone’s safety.
