Dog Walkers in Whitaker, IL

“Haley she was very knowledgeable, friendly, prompt, respectful and my dog loved her the first time meeting her. I will definitely be a returning customer!”

“I had a great experience with Nicole. She was professional and communicative. She took great care of my dog Spencer on his walk. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a local dog walker.”

“Amanda is AMAZING. I very highly recommend her for house sitting and just for walks. She’s so quick to respond and always available for those last minute walks if we get stuck at work or end up being out longer than we expected. So great.”

“Jesseeka has taken care of both of my senior pets on multiple occasions. My dogs are always excited to see her so I know they are in great hands. She's obviously a dog lover. I have a small difficult dog and she is always able to take care of his needs with out me needing to worry. I can't recommend her enough.”

“Jeff is very good with my dog. Chandler loves walking with Jeff. I recommend Jeff if you need any help with your dog for walks, playtime or dog sitting.”

“Emalee saved the day! I was running late to get Goku out due to inclement weather and messaged Emalee at the last minute! Yay! She was able to cover his afternoon walk. Great job as always! Much appreciated!”

“Absolutely amazing , loved her. Very sweet and kept us updated with our dog.”

About: The biggest thing that I believe sets me apart from other pet sitters is my knowledge of psychology and behavior which in turn allows me to connect and tend to the needs of animals. I have been told many times that I am the only stranger that their pet gets along with! I also am a part time caretaker for my grandfather. My responsibilities often include cleaning, shopping, and cooking. I really enjoy it. Lastly, I volunteered at a farm in Oregon for about 3 months back around early 2022. I was routinely in charge of many tasks relating to the care of animals including feeding chickens, cleaning the chicken coop, periodically moving cows to fresh pasture...etc. I am currently attending college online and work a part-time job. Taking care of animals on my own time works very well for me and I enjoy it a lot! I have been the primary owner of my 3 year old pug named Captain up until a year ago when I started to live with my grandfather to take care of him. Due to various factors, Captain now primarily stays at my parents' house (15 min away) which works out very well for everybody. I often have him over and also watch him at my parents' house when nobody is around. I take him out whenever he scratches at the door and take him on at least one walk a day. In between his meals I will give him snacks in exchange for tricks! That being said, if you are teaching your dog certain things, I would be glad to do my part in teaching as well! Last thing that I believe is very important would be cleaning off the paws with a towel after letting my dog outside when it’s muddy and wet outside.

“Shay has been the best dog sitter i have found!. She is respectful to myself, my home and my dogs. I have 3 so i know it can be a lot for anyone but she has done a great job. All 3 of my dogs love her. We work long hour days so its nice to have help with them so they dont feel alone. She makes sure they are let out, exicised and fed. I have used her on work days and even when i go on trips. With her around i know my dogs are loved and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her to family and friends.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds from a young age, including dogs, cats, birds, rodents, and more. I worked professionally for a doggy daycare for three years, during that time I worked with 30+ dogs in a yard at a time, and I was promoted to a shift lead and given medication administration permission. I have cared for dogs of all needs and sizes. I have had a passion for training dogs since I was a teenager and would be happy to (with your full permission) help you teach your pup some basics or give them a refresher course on previous training. I would also be more than happy to give extensive updates, videos, and photos, of me and pet’s time with me; as a pet parent myself I understand the anxiety that can come with leaving your fur baby with a stranger and I am more than happy to do whatever may be needed to alleviate some of that stress or worry. I am currently taking an online course for video editing but otherwise, I have an extremely flexible schedule. I am available all weekdays and most weekends. Mid to late day would be preferred for walks but for drop-ins and in-your-home pet-sitting, I am very flexible for scheduling. I am very attentive and detail-oriented in my pet care. Any medication, dietary restrictions, or any other rules for your pet(s) and or my time in your home, as I care for your pet(s), will be strictly followed. I also love to learn about your pets likes and dislikes and all of their silly quirks. So feel free to talk my ear off about your fur baby, as every detail will help me to better care for them.

About: I hope to make your pets feel comfortable and loved while their beloved owner is away. I have plenty of experience with animals being I have grown up with various pets. Whether it is for 30 minutes or 4 days I plan to love your pets as if they were my own! I currently do not have any pets of my own but my roommate has a medium sized dog but if I’m pet sitting they most likely won’t be home. I am a very outgoing and energetic person, I also enjoy being outside a lot. I hope to bring your furry friend to one of the many dog parks nearby. I like all animals small or big and would love to spend some time with your furry besties! If you have any questions or concerns feel free to email me or message me on here! Talk soon! :) I just moved to the city so my schedule is all open but I plan on getting a part time or full time job in the future I allow pets on furniture and beds we also have lots of extra toys. I am fully capable of feeding, walking, and covering play time. I also can implement good behavior training (non professional) but just basic sit, stay, paw. Please let me know if you are not comfortable with me taking photos of your pup or kitty ( I like to use them for my profile to show my diverse set of ‘clientails’) but of course that is up to you :)

“Alexandra M. is great with animals! She's got a bunch at home, it's like a petting Zoo! Always trying to help those in need. She'd be a great fit for any service needed.”

“Tessa is a loving and caring girl. She loves animals with all of her heart and takes in any animal she can to help. Tessa will treat your animals with that love and care as if they were her own.”

“Alexandra is a wonderful pet sitter! She has taken care of my rabbit many times and has my complete trust. Alex loves animals, is extremely attentive, and has won over the trust of my very untrusting rabbit (a feat that speaks to her ability to care for pets alone). I’m very appreciative of how much detail she asks for when caring for my pet- you can tell she wants to make sure he’s in the best hands possible. I would highly recommend Alexandra as a caregiver for your pet!”

“Kayla took care of my puppies and they loved her! I can tell that she took great care of them. she communicates well; sends updates and pictures which we always look forward to whenever we’re away from our furbabies. We’re definitely at easy knowing kayla will be seeing our dogs.”

“I have never met an animal lover quite like Jenna. I like to call her “Snow White” because of her relationship with animals. If your animal is with Jenna they are in great hands.”

“Cassidy is awesome. My dogs love her! Reliable and trustworthy. Would definitely recommend.”

“She was such a sweet girl! She was fantastic with my dog Clyde. He loves her so much would recommend her to everyone I know , 10/10”

“Lizzie is a mature, responsible, and nurturing pet caregiver. She goes above and beyond just the basics of the job. She truly has a love for animals and not only takes care of their needs, but really takes time to play and interact with them just as I would. I feel so comfortable and happy knowing my pets are getting lots of love when I’m away. It’s a great comfort to have her as my pet sitter. Highly recommend! Kathy T.”
