Dog Walking Spring Prairie

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, hermit crabs, lizards, and fish, so I’ve always been surrounded by pets of all kinds. I’ve walked my family’s dogs for 10 years and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors with them. While my apartment doesn’t allow pets, I’d love the opportunity to care for yours through walks and drop-in visits. I’ll treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve! I’m typically available Monday through Friday mornings and afternoons, and I’m happy to accommodate the occasional evening or Saturday when needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I currently offer dog walks and drop-in visits so your pet can stay in the familiar environment of your home and neighborhood. Whether we’re enjoying a walk, playing in the yard, or simply keeping them company, I’ll follow your care instructions closely and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’ll always treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own.

“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: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—over 33 years of experience as a dedicated pet parent to dogs, cats, and even crabs and lizards. My deep love for animals led me to work as a veterinary assistant, where I gained hands-on experience with everything from basic care to administering medication and recognizing signs of illness. Whether your pet needs a playful walk, quiet companionship, or a little extra TLC, I bring patience, compassion, and confidence to every visit. I truly treat every animal like family. I work full-time but have a very pet-friendly schedule! I work remotely from home on Thursdays and Fridays, so I’m fully available and present from Thursday through Sunday with no interruptions—your pet will have plenty of attention and company during those days. From Monday to Wednesday, I work a regular 8–5 schedule outside the home, but I always come home mid-day for a full hour-long lunch break to let pets out, go for a walk, or give them some love and attention. I make sure their needs are met and they’re never left alone for too long. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. In my home, we have a cozy and pet-friendly environment with a small fenced-in yard perfect for safe outdoor play. I share my home with two friendly dogs, a sweet cat, an animal-loving teenager, and my equally pet-obsessed boyfriend—so your furry friend will never be short on attention or companionship. Whether your pet prefers quiet spaces or social time, I can easily adjust the environment. Rooms can be closed off for privacy or opened up for free roaming, depending on your pet’s personality and needs. I strive to make every pet feel at home, cared for, and secure—whether they’re here for a short stay or a longer visit.

About: I have had both cats and dogs since I was born and have lots of experience providing care for many ages, behaviors, and disabilities. Over the last few years, I have aided with foster dog care, and while it can be challenging, it is very rewarding. Over the last few years, I have seen seniors, puppies, and pregnant dogs come through the home, and I always try to provide the best care I can while trying to find homes that are a good fit! I am working a part-time job at Carthage College and have ample time to help provide care. During the weekdays, I am quite flexible with my availability. On weekends I have lots of flexibility as well in order to provide ample support and care for pets. I am very active, so I am more than willing to provide walks and activities for your pup! If your dog needs medication, I am able to administer it when needed. I can also provide time outside and around the home if the dog must be in a crate.

About: Hi I am still available for your pet needs please feel free to call or text me. I am home full time and I honestly love animals i will work with all animal's and i can provide references upon request and I have grown up with dogs and cats all my life. As aa kid when I had a dog I fed my dog trained my dog took my dog out my mom only had to do my dogs potty run when I was at school and what I was not able to do she did but I spent a great deal of time with my dog and the dogs I have now are very much loved trained and well behaved and I always tried to find the best ways and different ways that work with the dog. In my opinion a dog is a dog it's not the dog to be judged it's the owners who teach them and train them that counts. I am not working the pet service is my work so schedule is flexible and I work with cats and dogs and even birds.and I am open with covid I do not have a fenced in yard I walk my dogs and occasionally do dog parks.

About: Hi! I have taken care of cats, dogs, chickens & lizards. I feed them, enjoy walking them & spending time with all of them. Thanks. I currently work full time and this is something I do part time, on the side. My full time job is flexible but I would need notice to adjust my work schedule.I can’t promise I can do this all the time… I like to do a meet n greet first so I can meet the family, let the pets sniff me & have some interaction. I follow the regular routine when I am in the clients home. If they are crated, I crate them. If they need to be let out in the middle of night & that is what the owner does, I let pet out…I make sure they are well taken care of. I treat them as they are my own.

About: I’ve been a dog-lover since childhood, always surrounded by dogs, horses, and even rabbits. I raised my husky from puppyhood who was my bestie. Currently unable to have a dog of my own, so I get my dog cuddles here! Equipped with any skills your pet may need. Currently unemployed and job searching, so plenty of flexibility in my schedule! I welcome the breaks that come with long walks and a happy dog :) Offering your home is an intimate thing! I want to make sure we both feel comfortable and confident communicating what we need in order to give your dog the best care possible.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I grew up with dogs and now enjoy my own dog and watching my kiddos create their own memories with our dog Jack. We enjoy the outdoors and go on a lot of walks and hikes with Jack. I am a teacher looking for a side hustle after 3pm on weekdays and full availability on weekends and Summer. I live in Lake Geneva and work in Elkhorn, so I am available there and surrounding areas within reason. I have two dog loving, energetic kids, a husband and a rescue pup named Jack. We all do well with dogs! ;) We live in a quiet, safe neighborhood with plenty of places to walk. We also have a nice yard to play in along with an endless supply of hugs and treats.

About: I’ve experienced helping with pets since a young age, including my own childhood pup, and worked 2 years at a boarding and grooming facility playing with, caring for, and interacting with all kinds and sizes of pets and pups!! Balancing pet care services with my full-time cosmetology studies, Tuesday through Friday, requires careful time management, but it’s become a rewarding part of my routine. After my morning classes, or before my night classes, I typically set aside a few hours in day—whether it’s walking, feeding, or providing basic grooming services. This flexibility allows me to earn extra income and unwind from the intensity of my studies while giving me the chance to practice patience and attention to detail, skills that are also vital in cosmetology. It’s a great way to stay grounded and connect with animals while continuing to work towards my professional goals. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I make sure to follow their specific instructions to ensure the pets feel comfortable and safe. I take the time to get to know each pet's routine—whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime preferences, or medication needs—and stick to it as closely as possible. I also make sure their living spaces are clean and organized, providing a calm and familiar environment for the animals. Whether it’s taking them for walks, giving them attention, or just keeping them company, my goal is to make sure they feel loved and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I've cared for my family's dog whenever they're out of town. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'm reliable, trustworthy, and attentive, and as a nursing student with healthcare experience and have previously worked in the criminal justice field for many years, I take responsibility seriously. You can count on me to provide loving care, regular updates, and treat your pets like they're part of my own family. Caring for pets fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I'm currently in nursing school and only work one day a week, which gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of availability for drop-in visits and dog walks. I enjoy spending time with animals and understand the importance of keeping them on their normal routine. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I'm committed to giving every pet the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow feeding instructions, provide fresh water, walks or playtime, clean up after them, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving pet owners peace of mind that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Super easy to schedule and all communications were great!”

I can easily make accommodation's for any of my clients homes and pets and any of their needs! Whether it’s just stopping in for a potty break, a meal time or a walk!

About: I have taken care of all types of animals from fish to lizards. I take of care my own dogs and cat currently and babysit for family and friends. I currently have the summers off due to being a teacher. This allows me to have open availability all summer! I’m available for all services. I have woods in backyard and a dog park across street to provide plenty of exercise. I would take care of your pets as you wish. Anywhere from a hour walk to a few snuggles in the middle day, I’m happy to do it.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, especially larger breeds, and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve personally owned two Pit Bulls, one weighing 70 pounds and the other 132 pounds, along with a Pomeranian, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels! My family has always had larger dogs and has trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I’ve also helped friends with cat sitting, so my love and experience extend beyond just dogs! For the past year and a half, I’ve been a stay-at-home mom, which has taught me even more about patience, responsibility, and maintaining a loving, attentive environment. I understand that pets are family, and I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d give my own pets! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week, including weekdays and could be flexible depending on weekends. I’m happy to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. My 1½-year-old would accompany me during visits, so I ask that pets be comfortable and safe around young children. I understand how important it is to find someone dependable to care for your furry family members, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving, and attentive care while working around your pet’s individual routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! While I do not offer pet care in my own home, I’m more than happy to provide care in the comfort of yours, where your pets can remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, as well as smaller dogs and cats. I understand that every animal has its own personality, needs, and boundaries, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Since my young child accompanies me, I only accept pets that are comfortable around toddlers. I prioritize safe interactions, close supervision, and respecting each animal’s personal space. I’m also happy to follow any specific feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, or special instructions you provide. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are receiving dependable, compassionate care while you’re away!

“I have been using these 2 for a couple of weeks with both Wag and now Rover. They have been great to my girl. They are helping her get the energy out in a safe way and even working on her focus in public. Much appreciated ?”

About: Vet technician, worked with sheltered dogs, & police K9s. I will not turn down any pet of any medical or behavioral issues. I lean towards difficult cases (medical or behavioral) with my patients knowing some may require extra responsibilities that I’m fully confident in helping in anyway I can. Due to an unexpected obstacle in my life I decided to take a sense of leave as a vet tech possibly temporary.. Rover gives me the opportunity to continue what I love to do & while managing my own schedule around my daughter’s needs. Great with daily communication such as updates , pictures & questions if needed. Vet technician with years of experience I can handle medical instructed care. I do housesitting I do not do any services in my own home besides training services.

About: Hi there! I’ve had the joy of caring for my mom’s and friends’ dogs over the years, and I was also a proud dog mom myself for over a decade. My sweet girl passed away last September, and while I’m not quite ready to bring another pup into my life full-time, I truly miss the companionship and would love the chance to care for your dog while you’re away. I have experience with senior dogs and pups who need special medical attention, including administering medication and monitoring health conditions like seizures. I understand how important it is to provide patient, attentive care—especially when a dog has unique needs. Whether your dog loves long walks or just relaxing on the couch, I’m happy to meet them right where they are. I’d be honored to give your pup the love, attention, and comfort they deserve in your absence. I work from home and occasionally out in the field, but I'm never gone for more than a few hours—and I can adjust my schedule to be home the entire time if needed. Outside of work, I am a homebody, so you never have to worry about your dog being alone at night. While I do not have a fenced yard, I have a small courtyard and live in a residential neighborhood, which is excellent for walking. Inside my home, your dog is free to go wherever they like. No place is off limits (I am used to having a sliver of the bed).

About: My unconditional love for all animals. Every cat or dog that I meet I treat and cherish as if they were my own fur baby. I do work a full time job, 8-4 Mon-Fri. However, I am looking to use some of my free time taking care of your fur baby! I do my best to maintain whatever routine you have with your fur baby. I am willing to go the extra mile to make your pup feel safe and comfortable while you are away.
