Dog Walkers in Tolono, IL

“Another great week of Meridith walking my energetic dog, Cosmo. Meredith is the best with communication. She takes a lot of pride in what she does and always goes the extra mile for Cosmo.”

“Stella does an amazing job watching my dog and taking him on walks as a reoccurring customer. She provided pictures and is great at communicating. I would highly recommend her when searching for a dog sitter. I feel safe with her watching my fur child.”

About: We both grew up with many dogs and cats in our homes, and have experience as walkers/sitters/godparents for the past decade. We have experience with puppies and kittens as well as elderly dogs and cats and all ages in between. We love going on long walks, but will be sure to check with you about appropriate distance! We always have energy to play, but above all, cuddle. Please let us know what your baby loves to do and we will make sure that they do that! Sam is currently a grad student at UIUC with a flexible schedule and Noah works from home. Between the both of us we will make sure your furry baby gets all the love and attention they deserve! You can expect your baby to be treated like family. We always send lots of pictures (it's what we would want if we were away from home!). If you're interested in boarding, we live in a large studio a few blocks from West Side Park which has a lot of green space for your dog to explore/exercise/sniff to their hearts content. We also have a large private second floor deck great for dogs who like to feel the outdoor air (always supervised, of course!).

About: I strongly believe that our furry loved ones deserve the upmost care while we're away. This can be fostered through a variety of pet sitting services, but for me, I love to help out by offering drop-in visits and in-home sitting. I've been pet sitting for over 6 years, and I've had cats and dogs my entire life (currently 4 cats and 2 dogs)! Taking care of animals is one of my passions, and I’m grateful I’ve had the opportunity to further develop it through pet sitting. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Hope to see a message from you soon! 😁🐶🐱 Facebook Pet Sitting Page- Emma F's Pet Sitting I am attending college and have a part-time job, but I have many breaks during the day and look forward to making time for pet sitting. I pride myself in doing the best work possible to ensure an animal’s safety and comfortability in their own home. I stay in contact with pet parents and ask questions as they arise to make sure their furry friends are doing well.

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! In my client’s home, I will complete any task they ask of me in the way they ask to do it, as I completely understand that certain dogs need certain routines and strategies. I respect my client’s homes and the way they operate their home lives, and will do all I can to ensure their pets are happy and healthy.

“Masha is a great dog walker. Great with humans (reliable, punctual, and polite) and great with dogs (affectionate, and conscious of their needs, but firm when necessary). She walked my daughter’s dog for a month, while my daughter was recovering from a car crash. We would definitely call her again.”

About: Ive been around dogs a lot. I have 3 of my own. One named Hope. She’s more active, and needs alot of playtime. So I’m definitely good at managing that. One name is Oakley, he likes to be babied and cuddled. Ones name is Hank, and he is just the chillest dog haha. I already have dogs so I work 24/7 with my own. I have a lot of time on my hands so I’m free whenever. Anytime you just need a break I can come help, when you’re gone. I’ll do it. I give baths, I walk them, I play ball/fetch with them. I take them potty, feed them, give them treats. I do all the things it takes to take care of a dog, the same way you would treat a baby.

About: As a passionate dog lover with years of hands-on experience, I've cared for canines of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. From energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra patience, I've honed my skills in providing comprehensive care. My background includes walking, feeding, and offering plenty of playtime and affection. I'm well-versed in reading dog body language and adapting my approach to suit each dog's unique personality and needs. Whether your furry friend needs long walks, engaging games, or just a comforting presence, I'm committed to ensuring they're happy, safe, and well-exercised. My goal is to give your dog the love and attention they deserve, making their time with me feel like a fun adventure rather than time away from home. Available nearing 24/7/. As a student of the U of I, I am centrally located and can accommodate your preferred care schedule, and am certainly available for last minute bookings should you need the coverage. There is one cat in my home who is used to being around other animals. Unless you have a preferred set-up, the two will ideally share the living space which includes a large living room and kitchen, and balcony. I am centrally located near 4 massive public fields which would be perfect if you have an energetic dog who loves to play.

“I had a great experience with this dog walker! They were incredibly kind and patient with my senior dog Max, who’s 11 years old and moves at his own pace. It was clear they really cared—after the walk, they made sure Max had water and was comfortable before leaving. I really appreciate the extra attention to detail and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and gentle with older dogs.”

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with over 12 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether a playful pup, a senior dog with special needs, or a shy rescue, I take the time to understand and connect with each pet. I’ve worked in professional dog day cares, groomers, and veterinary clinics. I am comfortable with everything from high-energy play to gentle care for nervous or senior pets. I’m also experienced with a wide range of training styles and behavior types, and I adapt easily to your pet’s unique routine. Over the years, I’ve looked after the pets of friends and family many times, and I used to have a sweet Russian Blue cat of my own ( pictured in my profile!). I genuinely love caring for animals, and I’ve often been told I have a calm, natural way with them—and that people feel confident trusting me with their furry family members. Whether you need help with a dog, cat, puppy, or senior, I’m here to give them the same love, care, and attention I’d give my own. I strive to make scheduling easy and stress-free with a flexible calendar and open, reliable communication. Whether you’re planning ahead or need last-minute pet care, I’m happy to work around your schedule and ensure your pet’s needs always come first. I am dedicated to caring for your pet in their/your space. Reliable, attentive, and respectful, I treat every animal like family and keep you updated. References available upon request.

“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 feel comfortable with dogs of any size, breed, or age. I am glad to follow any special instructions you give and do my best to keep your pets safe and as comfy as possible. I like to communicate or send pics while you're away so you can feel assured your pets are being well cared for. I have fostered many dogs (and adopted a few), so have experience with an array of personalities. I'm looking forward to meeting your pet family too. I work from 8 to 4:30 or 5, weekdays. Im happy to attend to your pets before and after work, in the evening and overnight, lunch breaks as well if needed. I prefer to "sitt" in your home in order to help keep them as comfy and on the same routine as possible. I believe in following the care instructions of the parents to a tee. I will give your fur babies lots of love and send you pics or videos if you'd like. I am trustworthy and dependable.
