Dog Walkers in Tuscarora, IL

“Glen was so great! And our dog who is usually suspicious of any stranger coming in our house just loved him! Prompt walks and gave us regular updates which made us feel comfortable being the first time we used this service while we were out of the country. Definitely recommend him!”

“Katie is WONDERFUL!! Wags, my overweight beagle (who lets me live there with my cat Top!) is already showing signs of having more energy. When I come home, he is bouncing up and down to meet me. It has been a while since he had this energy; I know it’s ALL because of Katie walking Wags! Besides this, Wag’s loves Katie and didn’t give me a second look when she came for him!!!♥️♥️”

About: I worked at a doggie daycare and boarding facility for two years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From group play supervision to feeding, cleaning, and administering medications, I gained experience in all aspects of pet care. I’ve also personally trained three dogs of my own—including a Great Pyrenees and a Black Lab puppy—so I’m very comfortable with everything from basic commands to crate training and leash manners. I’m confident with high-energy pups, large breeds, and dogs who may need a little extra patience. I’m currently available full-time until August 11th, so I can offer flexible and attentive care throughout the day. After that, I’ll be working full-time, but I’ll still be available for evenings, weekends, and early mornings depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your pup! Whether your pet is in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to understand each dog’s personality and needs—whether that means sticking to a routine, giving space, or providing extra playtime and cuddles. In my home, I create a calm and structured environment with plenty of supervision, especially during introductions with my own dogs. I’m experienced with crate training, managing group dynamics, and caring for dogs with specific behavioral needs. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect and care I give to my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely to ensure your pet stays happy, safe, and stress-free.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8, but have been an animal lover all my life. While I started out just walking them, I began taking on responsibilities of bathing, training, and taking specific care of their health — I was always the first called over when my family’s late beagle, Calvin, was experiencing the seizures that came genetically. I am not just reliable and passionate, but experienced as well, and have an eight-year-old rescued Lhasa Apso named Yosef. Besides my job as a front cashier, I’m available during the late morning and the whole afternoon — to walk, sit, and take care of your pup. I am able to play with, walk, bathe, and administer oral medicines to pets. Special requests for their health or safety are no issue or feat for me!

About: I am currently getting my bachelor's in animal behavior and care. I've had many species of dog from small to large as well as cats. I love all breeds and I am open minded to all animals. Even the scaly ones. I have 3 cats and a dog with ptsd from their previous owner. I work nights but am more then able to adjust my schedule in order to pet sit. I will still be sure they are fed properly, played with, and taken out as needed. I will ensure your pet is fed, walked, taken out and generally well looked after with lots of playtime. I can work with their dietary schedules and needs as well as their special care.

“Tigue is the best! She is always communicative and so helpful. We have booked many walks and overnight stays for our pets and will continue to do so.”

About: My family has had dogs my whole life! I have 2 pups of my own at home. I currently volunteer for a service dog program and have puppy raised and fostered many of the program’s dogs for an extended period of time. I customize my schedule on a weekly basis according to school and my part time job. I am a college student and I work at night 2 nights a week, so my availability should be open the majority of the day. For the days you may book with me, your pup(s) will be my priority. I can crate your dog, if needed. The time spent with your dog will vary based on your daily routine, I’ll try to match it to the best of my ability!

About: Hello! I am very passionate about dogs and will provide loving, patient care while you are away from home. I have fostered many puppies and adult dogs in my home through a dog rescue in California for 5 years, and continue to do the online work for that rescue from my home in Illinois. I have two fur babies of my own Espresso and Lucy, and our two cats mostly hang out in whatever room the dogs are not in :) We have a secure, fenced backyard with room to run. Dog cuddling and treats are a staple here, as well as walks, frequent potty breaks and playing with toys! My six year old daughter loves dogs but also respects boundaries and will leave them alone if they don’t want attention. I am prompt, professional and respond to texts/calls in a timely manner. Please contact me if you have any questions! I am a stay at home mom attending school online, so frequent potty breaks, cuddles and playtime are constantly available to them, or whatever else they might need. I have a fenced in yard and ample room to get the zoomies out. Dogs are welcome on the couch and I have a few dog beds available too.

I know we all have busy schedules and sometimes are unable to give our pets our full attention. I'd like to help you with that so your pet can get all the attention they deserve. <3 Making sure your pets stay happy, healthy and safe in my care is my number one priority. When it comes to working in a client's home, I am always respectful of their house rules and routines.

“Linden has recently started walking our anxious and energetic dog. We are grateful for the patience and the time that she’s been putting into making our pup comfortable while still getting her out for a nice, long walk. Her updates and photos are awesome and put our minds at ease while we’re away from home. Thanks, Linden! 😃”
