Dog Walking Spring Glen

About: Not only do I believe that dog is a man’s best friend – I also know for a fact that dogs are a girl’s best friend. I am the proud mom of Alice (a miniature poodle) and her “wiggle-worm body”. She is now a senior dog so I have a LOT of experience with them. I also have a terrier named Mia who is 6. Dogs give you unconditional love, all the attention you could need and a wonderful sense of purpose. Pets have always been a part of my life and I love all dogs – big and small. To me, pets have always been a part of my family. It’s important to me to have someone reliable and trustworthy take care of Alice while I am traveling and I strive to do the same for others. You should be able to rest assured while you are away that your furry family members are well taken care of. I take extra time to get to know your pet and develop a relationship with them (and you!). I want to ensure that your dog is not only well loved while you are away but that you return to a happy and healthy pup. I have been a pet sitter for years now - taking care of friends and families pets while they are away. I am experienced in taking care of young and old dogs as well as maintaining your obedience training requirements. Why I love dog sitting For my whole life! My family has always had dogs and all sorts of animals. I've grown up with a love for all things furry. I have lots of experience in training dogs and have done so since I was a kid. My experience administering medication Not a problem. I have to give this daily to my own pups. I work from home most of the week but I do go into the office on Tuesday and Thursday. I am normally gone those days from 8:30am to 4:00. The rest of the time I will be there for walks and snuggles all day. I dont take dogs at my house because of my senior dog but I would love to come to your so it is less stress on your babies!

“Finola has provided dog walking services for me on several occasions and is very communicative, sends pictures & updates, and handles my 2 large dogs very well! I plan on continuing to book with her and would recommend her to other potential customers!”

About: Hi, I’m passionate about providing loving and reliable care for your pets. With over 25 years of experience as a pet caretaker, I understand how important your furry family members are to you. I’m dedicated to giving them the best care in a warm, friendly, and safe environment. Hi, my name is Maritza. My family and I are a loving household of five now, 3 kids, my husband and I. (April our sweet daughter crossed the rainbow bridge on April 13 at the age of 12) I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, having cared for dogs, and cats over the years. My love for animals is deeply and they have always been a significant part of my daily life. My husband works three days a week in Belleville and spends the remaining two days working from home. I am currently a stay home mom, so one of us is always home with your pup. Our home is designed to provide a secure, clean, and welcoming environment. We offer personalized attention, engaging playtime, socialization, and plenty of fresh air. Our fully fenced backyard is divided into two sections one with natural grass and the other with synthetic grass allowing dogs to choose the surface they prefer. Most of the time I only accept “One dog at a time” for boarding or two if they are from the same family because I believe in providing the highest level of personalized care. By focusing on just one pup, I can ensure they receive my full attention, a stress free environment, and the individualized care they deserve. This approach allows me to cater to their unique needs, maintain a calm and comfortable atmosphere, and create a truly positive experience for all of us. Inside, our home is spacious, allowing dogs to move freely between rooms. We believe in providing a comfortable and home like experience, so we do not use crates unless specifically requested by owners. We want every dog to feel at ease and as if they are part of our family. Our Neighborhood!! We live in a beautiful, clean/safe neighborhood with scenic walking paths and numerous trails. Beautiful roads and parks. We are also close to the Soaring Eagle Forest Trail, which we visit pretty often with April. Additionally, several trails connect our neighborhood to others, providing plenty of opportunities for exploration. I’ll keep you updated with daily pictures or videos so you can stay connected with your pet while you’re away. Potty Trained Dogs Only: To maintain a clean and stress-free environment, I only accept potty-trained dogs.

“Andrea is great! Upon meeting her I felt our dog was going to be in good hands while we were away (and I don’t trust to easily). She showed up with good energy & homemade treats for our dog. I will definitely be using her services in the future!”

About: I've always loved being around animals and have lots of experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra love and patience. I currently work as a PA, so I'm comfortable with giving medications, sticking to routines, and noticing when something seems off. I'm also a cat dad to two kitties one senior kitty and one young kitty with the energy of a lion so I truly understand different needs, energy levels, and personalities. I treat every pet like my own and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that's walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, and I'd love to take great care of your pets while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care, check-ins, walks, and quality time throughout the day. I'm available on weekdays (especially afternoons and evenings) as well as weekends, and I'm happy to work around your pet's usual schedule to keep things consistent. I prioritize reliable timing, clear communication, and making sure each pet gets the attention they need rather than feeling rushed. I care for pets in a calm, safe, and familiar way, whether that’s in my home or in my client’s home. I follow all routines closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions, to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I’m very attentive to doors, windows, and household safety, and I always make sure pets are secure and supervised.

About: I have lots experience caring for and walking dogs for friends and family, although I’m fairly new to being around cats. I’m comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and personalities, making sure they get exercise, attention, and safe care during walks and visits. I’m reliable, patient, and enjoy spending time with animals. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while their owners are away :)) My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available most days and times for pet sitting and walks. I plan to pet sit as much as possible and can easily work around owners’ schedules. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while in my care. 🐾 I pay close attention to their needs, keep a clean and calm environment, and make sure they feel loved and secure at all times. And I will always follow any instructions owners leave to make sure their pets stay happy and healthy :))

About: My name is Sam, I’m 21 and I’ve been around dogs my entire life, & what sets me apart from other sitters is I have almost 6 years of experience, ranging from working at a dog daycare, dealing with very large groups of dogs (up to 120+ at once), & dealing with a variety of dog breeds, ranging from XS to XL, seniors, puppies & even aggressive or timid dogs. I also have experience/certification with basic training & boarding care, understanding dog body language, dog healthcare, and basic grooming. I work full-time at a dog daycare/boarding facility (I do want to start shifting to working for Rover full time.), but I am available after and/or before work and on my days off for drop ins/walks. My schedule typically stays the same, but can sometimes shift. Currently right now I have Wednesday/Thursday off; and work Friday/Saturday 9am-6pm, Sunday/Tuesday 7:30am-4:30pm, and Monday 7:30am-6pm. Safety and trust are paramount in my approach to caring for dogs. With certifications in training and safety, I prioritize creating a secure environment where dogs feel safe and loved.

“Manish was great with my GSP Tess. She is a strong dog and loves her walks. He was able to handle her and he was reliable, which was important to me. I knew she was in good hands with Manish. He sent pictures and stayed in contact when I had questions. I was having surgery and needed to be stress free. I have already re-booked him for my next surgery. I highly recommend him!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all energy levels, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience with cats and a variety of animals. Over the years, I've cared for everything from iguanas to ferrets and truly enjoy working with animals of all kinds. I currently work part-time, typically during the mornings, which leaves the rest of my day flexible for pet care. This allows me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I have a lifelong love of animals and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. During our meet and greet, I'll take the time to learn about your pet's routine, needs, personality, and any special quirks or preferences. My goal is to provide consistent, attentive care that helps your pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away.

About: Providing regular pupdates while your away seems to really bring my clients peace of mind. My experience and expertise speak for themself, and I assure you that i know how to put a dog at ease and the training in canine language and behavior and my ability to communicate is what builds a trust and bond that my clients rave about. My abilities have helped a lot of traumatized pups find happiness from my one of a kind technique that I have carefully mastered from my time of over a decade in the canine grooming,pet behavior modification training and time working in the pet care industry. I use holistic approaches to build a trust with your animal and in turn their willingness to please is almost instant once that bond is formed. I am a pet groomer by day and also provide pet care services such as pet training, pet socializing, pet solo or group walks, boarding, and I also have the training and experience to help modify anxious or poor behavior traits through many different techniques and utilizing positive rewards to help modify the behavior we are wishing to possibly change. I love all animals and believe all animals deserve their boundaries respected but also building trust to allow the pet to put their faith in what I'm teaching them. I ensure they have private feeding and sleeping areas. Have a huge area for the dogs to play and run and get the exercise out that tends to get pent up and also have a groom room for dog haircuts, nail trims, anal gland expressions and your basic bath and blow outs.

About: I grew up with a beloved family dog (a black lab) named Anubis for 17 years, he taught me what kindness and love truly were. Through that, I now have a great love and appreciation for all dogs. I am very responsible and reliable, and you can comfortably trust me watching your family member. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention, walks, and care throughout the day. I build my routine around each dog’s needs — whether that’s mid-day walks, structured exercise, or calm companionship at home. Because I keep my schedule intentionally balanced, I’m able to be present, responsive, and reliable for the families I work with. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, leash habits, and any special instructions from owners. I provide regular potty breaks, calm walks, and attentive supervision to make sure pets feel secure and relaxed. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and prioritize structured outdoor time, enrichment, and a peaceful environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and keep communication open with updates and photos so you always feel connected while you’re away.

About: I’m an experienced dog and cat sitter and we share our home with one incredibly sweet pup who loves obedience and agility training. Your pet will enjoy 2–3 daily walks around our neighborhood, plenty of playtime in our large backyard, and lots of affection and cuddles. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog or cat and make them feel right at home. I am a stay-at-home mom and I have plenty of time to care for and give your pets extra love and attention throughout the day. I offer a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and burn off energy. Dogs in my care enjoy 2–3 walks each day along with plenty of exercise through play and optional light agility activities in the yard for those who enjoy it.

About: I have 2 dogs and have been taking care of them since I was about 6. I am knowledgeable about pet care procedures and absolutely adore all animals! I am currently fully in online school so I have too much free time on my hands😂 I would love to fill it with taking care of your precious animals! I have a French Bulldog and a Mini Aussie mixed with Cavalier at home, both are friendly and can be crated if needed. I am in an apartment but love going on walks and spending time outside! I am able to drive if needed.

About: Hi! My name is Mary, and I’m a dedicated animal professional with a lifelong passion for caretaking. I recently graduated with a degree in Animal Science, and I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Teaching (Agricultural Education). My experience is extensive and diverse; I have worked in veterinary clinics and on farms handling everything from livestock like cattle, pigs, and goats to domestic pets. As a proud owner of 5 cats, I understand that every animal has a unique personality and specific needs. Since I am currently focusing on my graduate studies from home, I can offer your "furry baby" constant attention and love throughout the day. For exercise and play, my apartment complex features a fenced-in dog park, and I have an open yard area for supervised, leashed potty breaks. Having pet-sat for teachers and friends for years, I pride myself on being reliable, observant, and capable of providing a safe, high-quality environment for your pets while they are in my hands. I’m currently working part time so I have a lot of free time to take care of all types of fur babies. Your pet will be well taken care of. I have five cats that grew up with dogs and are very friendly. Your animal would be safe and welcomed in my home or yours.

About: I had a pet for the last 6 years. While I had him I constantly had him exercise with me as we both love running. Im happy to care of your pet anytime as I’m a personal chef & my schedule allows for plenty of free time. I maintain a consistent schedule which your pet can easily fit into. I live at home with no pets so am more than happy to have them over if needed. Nothing chewable or dangerous for dogs is left around.

About: I've loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats and I got and trained my dog when I was 11. I tried to train my cats too but that didn't go quite so well. In middle school through college, I started pet sitting around the neighborhood and for family friends. My own dogs were medium sized, but I do have experience taking care of larger dogs. I also have experience with kittens, old cats and dogs, and other animals from rats to horses! I fostered cats, adopted a rescue dog, and work with rescue horses so I'm also used to working with more timid animals. I take any chance I get to hang out with animals. I also love pet photography, so if you're interested let me know. I don't have pets now, but I'll love yours like my own! I currently work a flexible hybrid lab job. I can schedule my work to be around to check on your pets, and am also around on weekends. Reach out to me and we can figure out something that works! I'll care for your pets however you normally do to keep their schedules consistent, from home check-ins and pet sitting to walks around the neighborhood. I make sure that they are safe and comfortable at all times and am very communicative with anything that comes up and any concerns before, during, and after.
