Dog Walking Winfield

“Sydney was fantastic! And it makes going away so much easier knowing that Mia is in good hands with someone who meets Mia as she is and is patient as Mia takes her time to warm up”

About: I have up to a eight years of experience taking care of animals. The most known being cats, dogs, birds, and some farmlife. I also have experience in grooming regarding bathing dogs and cats. This is something I am currently working toward furthering my career in. I am currently unemployed, although I am working on getting a job. I care for two cats at home full time as well as the occasional care of my roommate's pet skink. I have a 7 year old and an 8 month old who is sometimes a full-time job himself. I currently live in an apartment so I do not offer care at my home due to my lease not allowing it. However, within the home of my client I try to keep a common eye on the animals, making sure they are fed, have water, and if required the litterbox/bathroom is done whenever they need it.

About: I’m a very active sitter, I love to walk, drive, waltz and run. I may also do a hand-drawn portrait of your dog, in addition to making sure they are very well taken care of. c: I love big dogs and lil angels. Afternoon walks, early and late morning strolls, dinner and late night walks are my peak times. A lot of peaks in the day. Weekends are for the birds though. If in your home, I will make sure they stay in the zone you’d like, are well fed and get plenty of outside time. I used to have a dog with allergies so I will make sure they get any medications if needed. In my home as well, we have three very loving people, big open spaces, a nice neighborhood to play.

“Corrine took good care of Jazzy while I was gone. She walked and feed her as promised. I hope she is available next time I need a dog walker. Jeff & Jazzy Z”

“Sarah was wonderful. She was very prompt. Always sent a picture and a report. Our Sally was very happy to see her. Thank you Sarah for taking such good care of our senior dog.”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and currently care for two of my own with ongoing health needs: one with hip dysplasia, who needs walks with breaks, physical therapy, and swimming sessions, and one with IBD, who needs a strict diet and daily medication. I'm comfortable giving medication, managing special diets, and following care instructions exactly as given. I also spent a year pet-sitting a neighbor's puppy and cat, including daily visits and boarding. I'm a parent to a toddler and available every weekday morning, roughly 8:30am to 12pm, for visits and walks. Caring for pets is part of my daily rhythm already, so your pet gets my full attention during our time together, not a rushed in-between. I follow each pet's routine and instructions closely, whether that's medication, a specific diet, or a particular walking pace. I'm attentive to small changes in behavior or appetite, since I manage similar things with my own dogs at home. I send photo updates during visits so you always know how things went.

“We so appreciate Gavin’s connection with Mia that allows us to take a day in Chicago. He’s great with her and super responsive”

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets. Have owned dogs, fostered rescues, and cared for fish and salamanders—so understand that every pet is unique and deserves attentive, loving care. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or just some comforting company, will treat your pets like family. You can count on us to keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe while you’re away! I work from home along with my wife Kerry. Dogs will be taken out for walks, and we are near several parks. If dogs are sociable, there is a dog park they can be taken to nearby. Pets will be let outside on a leash and supervised. Can crate if necessary, if this is a comfort to the animal. Sections of the house are blocked off to keep them in controlled areas.

“John is the best with my two dogs! I’m very grateful I have someone who can walk my dogs while I work. Thank you!”

About: Hi! I’m Karilyn! Dogs have always been important members of my family. I have experience managing daily pet care, safety, and offering attention. I am most experienced with larger dog breeds, but am familiar with breeds of all sizes and shapes. I prefer to not be out after dark, but am pretty flexible walk-by-walk. Otherwise my availability is as marked. If we’ve established a good relationship, I’m happy to be flexible! On walks, safety is my number one priority. This means secure leashes, alertness to both the environment and the individual dog. This also means catering to sensitivities and preferences of the owner AND the dog. I love to interact with animals, and understand their signals and boundaries. It also important that the pets in my care are hydrated and feeling well after spending time with me.

“Jackson I 10/10 recommend!! I will be scheduling with him again in the future! As a new user on here I was very skeptical with all of this. I have a big pup who is very hyper-active. He was amazing and very professional with all aspects. From the communication, reassurance, and detailed plan (he will provide). I felt so much better about this process! I know my dog can be a lot for other people but he was a champ!! Thank you so much again! For taking care of my baby as your own✨✨✨✨🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼”

About: I have been a pet owner since I was 7 years old. I am well versed in taking care of cats or dogs, any size. I have experience with short and long haired cats, and big and small dogs. I previously owned a 90 lb mutt (forever in my heart) and I take care of other dogs ranging from pit bulls to mini labradoodles. I have two cats that are the light of my life. I am constantly asked to watch my families pets and I do it with a smile on my face. I just love animals! I am currently working part time, so my schedule varies from week to week. I am more than willing to stop by during my break if needed, or before or after work and on my days off. I currently live in an apartment that only allows dogs under 25 lbs, but don’t worry, I am more than willing to come hang out with the big pups if needed.

“Wonderful to have our puppy being played with and walked while I'm not available. Always spends more time than needed and cares for Bellas best interest. Thanks!”

About: I strive to cater to each pet's specific needs while providing a reliable service. Over the years, I have cared for dogs of all sizes, reptiles, rabbits, and cats. I've had success with training dogs not to pull when being walked, but I am currently not an accredited trainer. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am normally available on weekdays in the morning and afternoon. I am open to offering my services outside of those hours on a case by case basis, pending availability. I am happy to go over any guidelines regarding pet care, house/yard access, and pet activities during a meet a greet prior to the first visit. I'm a big believer of talking to pets, walking them as much as needed, playing with them, and challenging them mentally. When possible I prefer to walk dogs in a park or on a nature path instead of in a concrete jungle.

About: I have two dogs of my own and being in grad school, I miss them dearly! Since I was 15, neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, care for, and sleep over with their pets. To me, caring for your pet is seeing them happy as well as respecting your home :) ALSO my 80lb Giant Schnauzer is the most stubborn dog known to man so if your dog is difficult, I’ve got you covered. I am currently in grad school full time doing hybrid classes & working in an office at Wheaton! I’m available after 4 every day of the week and am always eager to make time apart from my job & classes!! Not only do I love being with animals but I am also on the app to help pay for tuition. I am available to care of your pets in your home. I would love to play with them, take them on long walks, bathe them, or do anything that you need!

About: I feel strongly about the human animal-bond and I believe your pets deserve the best care possible! My experience goes back to childhood since I've had cats and dogs my whole life. I've watched neighbors' and friends' pets while they were out of town and even watched a friend's horses while she was on vacation. I walked dogs at Anderson Animal Shelter (now Anderson Humane) as a kid. I worked for a pet sitting company for a little over a year in 2020. That year I also began school to become a certified veterinary technician. After two years taking classes full time and completing two externships I became a CVT. My schooling did include kennels- aka walking, cleaning up after and caring for the rescued dogs and cats we learned on (they were adopted out at the end of each semester). I also have helped with pets who were boarding at veterinary offices. I can do medical treatments on your fur baby if necessary. I am open to watching exotic pets. I have a huge admiration for spicy cats. I am your person for house sitting and drop in visits. I will be using Rover for part time work but I do have flexible availability! I have stepped away from full time work all together for the foreseeable future. I am a morning person and I would love to spend some time outside with your pup whatever the weather may be. I enjoy walking outside even in zero degree weather! I am happy to accommodate any routine you need for your fur babies. Greeting your pet is important, especially if I am new to them. I will give them food and water and clean dishes as advised by you. I will take them for a walk or outside to play and go potty depending on what they are up for. If you need pills or treatments or any kind to be administered I can absolutely do that. I will treat your pet, your home and belongings with the utmost respect and responsibility.

About: I’ve cared for both cats and dogs for years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, litter box care, and following each pet’s routine. I’ll treat your pets with patience, kindness, and the same care I’d give my own. I’m currently available with a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care for your pets throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and reliable care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has a unique personality. I’ll provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Do you believe in love ?at first sight? Well, ? I saw it happen between Joan and our 10 year old, deaf pit bull. From our initial visit until our final visit from Joan everything was perfect. And she takes great pictures. This was our first time but it certainly won’t be our last!”

Outside of those class times, I’m completely free and have plenty of flexibility throughout the week.

Communication with you is very important to build trust and give you peace of mind while you’re away.
