Dog Walking in Macomb

“Jess is very responsible with all aspects of the dog walking process.”

“Emily has been so wonderful to our dogs! You can tell she really cares. I’m pretty sure she got them a new toy even :) She always leaves the house nicer than we left it which is the cherry on top. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Really nice and caring! Has had dogs for many many years and really loves them. She has watched our dogs a bunch of times and they always have a great time with her! Would definitely recommend”

About: I've been around animals the majority of my life; whether that's at the grandparents, cousins, family friends, or, even my house. I've always helped with taking them out, feeding them, playing with them, and even relaxing with them. A big part of my life, I was blessed to share with a Corgi named Angel; she was spirited, goofy, and sassy. We said goodbye to her in 2021, but welcomed a new furbaby into our home in the late summer of 2022: a golden retriever/yellow lab mix named Max. A total 180, right? Went from a small dog to this big gentle giant. If there's anything I love doing, it's sharing an adventure (no matter how big, or small) with my furry companions. I've learned over the years when to see a dog is uncomfortable vs when they are as cool as a cucumber. I've learned when it's time to go potty and to watch behaviors on it, and when to give them extra time for it (especially when they are older). Currently I am in Macomb, Il at WIU for school, and Max is at home with my fiance. When I come home, I walk Max when it is gorgeous outside, play with him to get that extra energy out, go on car rides where it's just running a small errand, and making sure he is groomed accordingly with his long hair and nails. So, currently I do not have a job, but when I am home for breaks I spend majority of my time with Max and taking care of him. I walk them outside to get any energy out and to get new smells in (and also for them to fully clean out), I play with them with their toys inside or out, and offer positive reinforcement with treats. I give them space and let them get to know me and become familiar with my scent.

“Thanks so much. You are the best!”

About: I’ve worked as a boarding and daycare supervisor for the top daycare/boarding agencies in Des Moines for 3+ years. I worked for Stylin Paws Play Place and Downtown Doggy Daycare. I sat for neighbors and friends growing up. I’ve also worked in the caregiving field for 8+ years. I’ve worked in senior care, as well as with children with developmental disabilities. I’m currently out of town taking care of my grandparents, after my grandfathers open heart surgery. He’s in a stable place so my availability is all day, each day of the week. I only have classes on Saturday and Sunday from 4pm-5pm but those are done over zoom. I have more than enough time and love to go around! I promise I will provide your pets with a safe, caring, loving environment. Whatever you ask, I will do my best to provide. I will take care of your pets with the same compassion, I give to all animals and people. I will provide your pets with a new best friend, they’ll look forward to seeing!

“I had a Belgian Malinois named Cheyenne and whenever she came by to take care of her it was the best experience my beautiful dog ever had. She would play with her constantly, give her tons of attention and was careful with her when need be because of my dogs old age. The experience she brought to the table with her knowledge of working at a vet clinic and animal shelter really helped her with knowing how to care for my elderly dog and made her uniquely qualified for the job. If I still had Cheyenne I would ask her to come back time and time again.”

About: Love, caring and fun!!! My favorite thing to do is go on walks in the fresh air with dogs. I have always had a dog with breeds all over the map. My favorite breed is a husky but still love my Yorkshire terriors. 26 years of dog care. It is a pleasure having a dog to always rely on to make your day great. Your dog will feel super comfortable and you will feel safe having a reliable pet sitter. Dogs really are the best companion to have that brings an instant smile always. Count on me to always keep your dog safe. I hope to ease your mind knowing that your dog will have a good time. Can't wait to meet your fur baby. :)

“Mackenzie is a very smart, dedicated and outgoing person. Mackenzie is a full-time nursing student, and she works as a waitress at the country club and is a member of the air national guard. She is very athletic and smart and has a huge heart and love for animals. She would love to have her own when she is able to make time and isn't so busy with homework during the school year. She would be a huge asset to your team. She is reliable and dedicated to everything she does.”

About: I am looking to take care of dogs as much as possible. I love animals and grew up with dogs all my life. I have a dog at home named Maddie and she will be 4 this June. I have a lot of patience with animals and take much pride and care with dogs. I will make sure to keep your pets happy and safe as long as they are with me. I love to play with pets and also have lots of dog toys and treats if you’d like. I can also teach basic commands to your pets if needed as well. I will make sure your pets eat and drink water as needed and go to the potty plenty of times during the time I’m with them!
