Dog Walkers in Solon Mills, IL

About: I grew up with a sweet smooth collie and helped take care of her throughout my childhood. These days I take care of friends and families dogs while they go on vacation or just need a quick sitter for the day/night. I also have a pet chinchilla, Cheaches, that I take care of everyday :) I'm a elementary teacher, so my availability during the summer is very open. I plan to be home full time most days but things do come up. If I need to be away I will always prioritize coming back to care for the pets. I'm very comfortable with all dogs no matter the size or breed. I have handled a variety of dogs from timid to major explorers. Any instructions given to me I will happily follow. I have always had a easy time connecting with dogs! They are truly mans best friend and I understand just how much they mean to their families :)

“Thank you, my Rex enjoyed his walk. We hope to see you soon.”

About: I have had animals of all walks of life since I was a child. Dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, ducks, fish, bunnies and even a donkey. Animals have naturally been drawn to me and I have often been the only one to help an animal. I show all animals unconditional love and care. I have nursed senior dogs until they need to cross the rainbow bridge. I am available for early morning, afternoon and evening help. I work from home and have the flexibility to meet the needs of a pet in my care. I am not able to care for animals in my apartment. All services will be on site for the client and their pet. I will adhere to the clients wishes for their pet once we establish a relationship.

“Gyula walks my two Labs regularly, and I highly recommend him for your dog's needs. He has years of experience working with all types of dogs and has the skills to manage them competently and with a great attitude. Gyula is prompt, attentive to the dogs at all times, and naturally works with them as he's walking them, which has improved both of my dogs leash manners. If you need someone to take care of your dog, I'm confident you and your dog will be happy with the services Gyula provides.”

About: I've grown up around animals of all kinds and have also provided care for many of them along the way. I take pride in ensuring any animal in my care is safe, happy and healthy from the day they arrive to the day they leave! (We have a female dog who we'd love to let meet more friends, if possible!) I am currently working a "choose your own shift" schedule, so I can dedicate as little or as much time as possible, to your beloved animal(s)! Schedule open to discussion, dependent on the individuals wants and needs. I have a fenced in dog park and a few walking trails where I reside. I am happy to provide walks and playtime to those in my care!

“Deanne provided daily drop-in dog walking for my 1 year old golden puppy, Daisy. Daisy is full of energy and can be a bit much but she always seemed happy when I got home from work after having a walk with Deanne. Deanne was always flexible with hours, often accomodating change in dog walking times as needed. She always sent photos of Daisy during or after the walks. I would highly recommend Deanne for her services!!”

About: Since the day I was born, I have lived in a home with numerous types of pets. I have had puppies since the day they came home at eight weeks old, and I have been there to hold their hand when they had left this earth; not only have I seen all stages of life, I have helped take care of them until they are very last breath. My passion is truly to care for others and that also includes animals. Currently, I have two large dogs in my home which we have trained from day one and they are the most loving sweet dogs. I have worked from the basics of sit and stay to fun tricks of rollover, turn around, and have even crate trained. In my almost 30 years of life, I have been around so many types of dogs and it is always my goal to meet and connect and find a common ground with all. I have the patience, commitment, and I am confident that your dog or cat will be and feel safe and happy with me! I have left corporate America and I run a small business out of my home which means I am my own boss and can pick my own schedule! My goal is to have as much availability as possible so I can help as many families as possible. I have two dogs of my own who are on great routines and I would love to assist to help keep your friends on track as well while you may be out of the house at work or running errands, I have availability starting as early as 6 AM and can make it work if we need to go later in the day at night and I am available mostly every single day unless noted in my calendar! Currently, I have two dogs in my home who are very well behaved and get along great with others of any size. My dogs are crate trained, but are also safe to roam around the home and I would have no problem creating a dog at my house as well and walking them around so they can smell all aspects of my home. I have a large backyard, but it is not fenced in as my dogs are on the Invisible fence, however, this is no issue as I have no problem having a long lead for your dog to run and play with my dogs with my supervision in the yard! My home is open floor plan and over 3000 ft.² so there is plenty of room to have fun together!

“Haley was fantastic!! She is so sweet and helpful and my dogs love her!!”

About: Your dog(s) will be able to run around and go exploring on 2+ acres of my securely fenced yard or if they prefer to take long naps by the fireplace that can be arranged as well. Your dog's individual needs will come first. I work from home so I am able to monitor them all day/night long. I grew up with a variety of animals and I worked as a vet assistant for small and large animals in the past. Taking care of animals is my passion and I believe each animal senses that and immediately feels at home. I can watch your cat(s) or other exotics as well. Ideally, I would like to help others enjoy their time off knowing their pets are having a great time. If interested, we can set up a booking with a pet photographer. I have a variety of animals on our farm that need care throughout the day. The dogs love to "help out". We stay pretty busy everyday checking on the well being of our pets. My acreage is completely fenced in. The dogs are mainly in the backyard where I can watch them at all times when outside. Inside the dogs have access to all the main rooms. I have crates set up for dogs that like to use them. There are dog beds scattered throughout the first floor so dogs can chose where they want to hang out.

About: I have recently transitioned to a stay at home mom, which opens me up to caring for your fur children. I have grown up around dogs all my life, our family has a 4 month old Australian shepherd who is very social! My husband and I have 3 young sons who also are animal lovers. I am currently a stay at home mom and very flexible with my schedule, but will have the most flexibility on the weekends. Late morning and early afternoon would also be available We do have a large yard, our mini Aussie Bella loves the space to run! Our home is spacious and plenty of room for your pet to explore!

“Wally was a stellar dog Walker for my dog Milo! Wally kept us updated and went above and beyond on walk time and TLC, putting salve on Milo's paws after his walk. Milo is a tentative dog, it's clear that Wally won his trust. We will definitely be repeat customers!”

“We starting using Lori about two weeks ago and she has been great. Chelsea, our dog, loves her. The weather had been rainy windy and cold lately but she is still taking great care of her and it truly puts my mind at ease while working knowing Chelsea is in good reliable hands. ”

I am currently only doing walks, I maybe open to dog sitting in the future. I do have a large fenced yard and live in a subdivision perfect for walks !

About: Throughout my childhood I have owned and raised dogs of all sizes. I also have experience with working at a barn where I gained hands-on experience with daily animal care routines and ensuring the well-being of many animals including cats. I genuinely love all animals and enjoy taking care of them. I am a college student returning home for the summer and I’m planning to make pet care my full-time focus. I have a very flexible schedule and can be available most days and times. I’m responsible, reliable and committed to making this my top priority. You can count on me to be consistent and dependable when caring for your dog. At home I have three large dogs and a fenced in backyard for my high-energy dogs. My dogs are fed twice a day and receive daily vitamins and medications with their meals.

About: I have had dogs since I was 10 , and I've always had a passion for them. When I was younger, I would read books about every type of dog I could get my hands on. I'll be good for your pets because I'm able to adjust to every individual need for your animals. I've watched dogs for friends and family for many years while they were on vacation. I have spent the last few years working in commercial pet care at various daycare and boarding facilities. This includes dogs, cats, birds and various small rodents. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make your dogs, and yourself as comfortable as possible. I'm happy to go on frequent walks of any duration or difficulty. I used to take one of my own dogs hiking so I'm willing and able to do whatever they are used to. I'm also happy to be at your home as frequently as you'd prefer, and I'd love to maintain open communication with you while you are away. I have also recently acquired a PACCC certification. I’m freelancing at the moment so I have an open schedule at the moment. I am available Mondays, and Wednesday - Saturday. Sundays are also available upon request. I always prefer to meet with pet parents so I can be aware of any potential safety problems in the home and when walking dogs I like to bring a secondary slip leash to use so that in case anything happens to the first leash/collar, your pet is unable to slip away from me.

About: Hello I currently own 2 dogs and 3 cats. My friends, family, and neighbors rely on me when going on trips to help out with their fur babies. Doing their feeding, taking them for walks, playing with them, giving them medication if needed or just keeping them company. I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. To do drop in visits, or walks it’s also helpful that I’m home all day to keep an eye on your babies and play with them on my breaks. I have a fenced yard big enough for your pet to run around, or play with my dogs that enjoy company. Either your pet likes to play outside with toys or receive lots of cuddles, or walks. I do require a meet and greet before setting anything up to see if everyone gets along.

“Rachel was awesome and so sweet. My Roxy loved her from the start and didn't even bark at her (which Roxy normally does to any new person that comes to our house) but she was calm and just wanted to sniff her. Rachel was prompt and overall awesome. We will definitely be rebooking for our recurring needs! I also appreciated Rachels last minute availability :)”

“This was my first experience with River and I must say it was great. The entire process was easy and seamless. Bill was awesome with the dogs. Riggs and Gibson came back content and obviously exercised. Thanks so much for your help today while I recover from my foot ailment.”
