Dog Walkers in Valmeyer, IL

About: I worked at a kennel service in high school and have cared for friends' and neighbors' animals for numerous years. I am a professional groomer working in Waterloo. I have taken an animal behavior class and a pet first aid and CPR certifying class so I can keep your pets safe and happy! I am a dog groomer, though currently unemployed. I can be home with your pet as much as they need! I typically get up between 9 and 10 but will adjust to your pet as needed! I will nurture your dog or cat's natural instincts by allowing them to play, exercise, and explore in the safest ways possible. Specifications and rules are, of course, up to you but I believe in letting the animals be animals when possible! I have education in the body language of dogs and cats and am also pet CPR and first aid certified. I work my hardest to create a comfortable experience for you and your pet while you are away.

About: I have taken care of many dogs even ones with medical issues and I also am very active so walking them would be no problem! I work full time but I am able to make it work , I am also doing online college so that makes it easier also! Whether or not your dogs are trained off leash, I would prefer walking them, or taking them out on their leash just in case they don’t listen and runoff!

About: I am an avid pet lover. I’ve been around dogs all my life (minus a short time when I lived in an apartment and couldn’t have a dog, so we decided to adopt 2 cats!). I am a pretty active gal, and am able to take dogs for walks (and even run if they want to). I'm open to drop in visits, housesitting, walks, etc. I am unable to provide boarding at my house, as our Chloe is selective about her friends. We are working with her on being more tolerant of others. If boarding is your preference, I would be open to a Chloe meet-and-greet to make sure your dog and Chloe are comfortable with each other. I work locally around Columbia, so I am able to do some petsitting during the week. I have more availability on the weekends. If my schedule allows, I can drop in on lunch to check on your pets. Your rules are my rules. As long as the dog/cat/etc. is happy, I am happy. My dogs are allowed on furniture and have the run of the house. Of course, they are not chewers and (typically) do not destroy things.

About: I used to foster dogs. My yard is pretty big and I have a doggie door. My dogs do not mind visitors. I am off work during the summer and all major holidays. I am a teacher so I am off for the summers. When school is in session, I get off early and I am usually home before 4pm. I have a fenced in yard that can be accessed by a doggie door. I have 3 small dogs. I walk them and play with them on a regular basis. I also have 2 cats.

About: Hello! I’m Kyra, a college student in Jeffco, and I am super excited to be providing pet care services on Rover! I have provided pet care for numerous dogs and cats in my lifetime as well as cared for many of my family and friends pets while they were away on vacations. With a lifetime of caring for a menagerie of animals, I have gained valuable experience as a pet owner. Trust your beloved pets to someone who understands their needs and treats them like family. I don’t offer pet care in my own home as I am currently living with my parents as I obtain my college degree, however I am happy to provide overnight services in your home as well as pet walking and drop-ins. I do not charge for Meet and Greets! I want you to get a feel of my personality as well as the pet! I also find it necessary to see how your pet reacts to my presence before pet sitting as well. I am a very loving person and enjoy getting to meet any and every animal I can, so I hope you’ll trust me with your fur babies in the near future! I am a current online college student in the Jefferson County area and will be very flexible to accommodate the needs of pet parents. I am available any day of the week, for walks, check-ins, and overnights. I do not do in-house care at my own home, however I am an avid animal lover and would happily care for the pets in the pets' home. I can be playful or give them space and follow feeding instructions thoroughly.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and spent of much of my personal time learning about different breeds and pet care. I also volunteered at a shelter for four years and have experience grooming in a professional setting.

I am currenty working on an as needed basis and can set my own schedule, so I can plan my time around your babies' needs. I try to keep care and routine as similar as possible to your pet's typical day. I also try to give as much extra TLC as possible because I know your babies miss you and need some extra love!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats as long as I can remember. My family and friends ask me to help them out all time because they know they can trust me to love and care for their fur babies ❤️ I love walking my neighborhood and the local parks and would love for your dog to join me! I have two older boys who also love dogs and would give them lots of love too! I plan on substitute teaching part time and take on smaller painting jobs in my community but I will be in and out of my home during those times to check on the fur babies. I have a lot of down time in the winter & summer when I would be home often. I love to walk so your dog can come with me! I have a fenced in yard for your dog to play in that backs up to private woods so it’s peaceful. I have a crate if needed.
