Dog Walkers in Sloan Station, IL

About: My family has had a rescue dog since she was a puppy and is now a senior dog. I have had my own 2 shelter dogs living with me full time for over 2 years so I have been exposed to dealing with separation anxiety and many different reactions. I know I will be able to exceed your pets needs and provide lots of love and attention! I am currently working full time, in office M-F so my availability is mostly weekends. Our household has 2 young dogs so after work I will take them on a run daily for their high energy. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat on a few acres of land so they are very active outside. I used to live in an apartment and would exercise my 3 year old lab retriever for about 2 hours a day! I love playing fetch and games with our animals and am excited to entertain your pets!

“Masha has done a wonderful job walking our dog Ruby! She had a great meet and greet, and a great first week. Masha answers immediately, and follows all our requests. I receive great pictures from every walk. She clearly has a passion for animal care, and I am glad to have her to assist in taking care of our sweet furry family member.”

“We needed help with our pup last minute and Misty was quick to respond and willing to work with our schedule. During the meet and greet I could tell she was very comfortable with animals as well as knowledgable. Overall Misty was amazing to work with and I felt at ease knowing our fur baby was in good hands.”

About: I have 4 dogs that I’ve owned for 5 years now. I adopted two of them as puppies, so I potty trained them and taught them how to sit, lay down, walk off-leash, etc. I adopted my other two as adults, but I did train them how to walk off-leash as well. I care for them every single day, which includes feeding them on the same schedule every day, walking them, playing with them, bathing them when needed, taking them to the vet when needed, cleaning up after them to ensure a healthy and clean environment for them. I’m currently a college student who is out of school for the summer, so I am available 7 days a week at all hours of the day!

About: I have cared for many animals in my life from dogs, to geckos and snakes. I have helped care for my childhood dog who had to have both eyes removed, and both of my dogs from adulthood who both had cancer. My daughter loves animals and misses her pets dearly. She is excited to help care for animals again too. I’m a preschool teacher in Rantoul, but my husband works from home. We can make times work especially starting in the early evening and weekends. Our home is pet friendly. We have some things still from our dogs. I am comfortable giving medications if needed to your fur babies (or scaly ones). We are in a pretty animal friendly neighborhood and a good area for walking.

“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: One of my earliest memories was at the age of five. My mom brought my sister home from the hospital after she was born and I asked, "Can we have a kitten instead?!" Our parents started us with goldfish like most do. We then graduated to hamsters, followed by kittens. Currently, I have two dogs of my own that I consider to be my fur babies. Our pets can be much like our children, so I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to provide the care your animals need. My experience with animals comes from having my own as well as taking care of friends and family members pets as well. I love animals so much, I paint them on canvas as another passion of mine. I am looking forward to caring for your pet and providing whatever special needs they may have in order to make you and your animal feel comfortable while you are away. I work from home as an Artist so my schedule is flexible in between appointments outside of the home. I am unavailable Tuesday nights after 5pm. Looking forward to do whatever I need to stick to your pet's routine to keep them stress free, happy and healthy. Whether they enjoy long walks, active play or just snuggles and pets I would love to accommodate whatever their needs may be.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, starting with two energetic border collies who taught me the importance of patience, exercise, and mental stimulation. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for my own diverse range of pets including a bunny, fish, and amphibians, giving me hands-on experience with different care needs and environments. I regularly pet sit for friends and family, caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I also volunteered with Best Friends Animal Society in LA after the fires, which deepened my understanding of animal behavior and care. From feeding schedules and medication to playtime and companionship, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personality quirks that make them special. My lifelong experience with animals has taught me to read their body language, recognize signs of stress or happiness, and provide the love and attention they need to feel safe and comfortable while their parents are away. Pet care seamlessly fits into my flexible schedule - I’m available seven days a week and can accommodate last-minute requests. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or extended care while you’re traveling, I can adapt to your pet’s routine and your family’s needs. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I’m committed to maintaining their regular feeding times, exercise schedules, and bedtime routines. My open availability means I can provide the reliable, stress-free care that gives you peace of mind when you’re away. In Your Home: I provide in-home pet sitting to keep your furry family members comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll maintain their regular routines, provide companionship, and can stay overnight if needed. Your pets get personalized attention while enjoying the security of their own space, and you’ll receive regular updates and photos to keep you connected.
