Dog Walking in Colony Farm, Kalamazoo, MI

“Great walk! Erin was on time and took great care of both dogs while I was out of town for the day. I appreciated the pictures and map of their dog walk route! Thanks, Erin!!”

“Sara came over to meet my puppy and understand his needs before she did her drop in walk. I loved the pictures she sent me and a detailed note on how his first visit with her went :) Thank you Sara!!!!!”

“An absolute wonderful person to watch after your pet! She was so loving toward Charlie and he had an absolutely blast with her while I was out of town. Big thanks to Theresa!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life, and thrive off loving on dogs of all kinds! Additionally, I volunteer at an animal shelter near my college to walk and bathe dogs. I am currently off of work, meaning I am free all day everyday on weekdays for the time being! I would love to fill my time by providing love and exercise to your pets! I will keep a close leash on your pet during walks, while allowing them to explore and enjoy themselves. If you would like me to utilize your fence, dog's favorite toys/treats, or crate I am more than happy to do so!

“Morgan has watched my pets serval times before. She did a wonderful job following our schedule we have for them. She cuddled them and made them feel loved and played with them and walked them for us. We have a large lab and a cat as well. She has house sit for us as well with our pets. We love Morgan and would definitely recommend her.”

“My pup is on the timid side with new people. He warmed up to Hunter immediately. Highly recommended.”

“Christi has been helping take care of our pets for years. She does a great job and our animals love her. She has helped us with our dogs in the past, and currently our cats. She is attentive and caring when it comes to our needs. I would highly recommend her for services.”

About: Hi! My name is Adaora, I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, and have taken care of my family’s now senior dog most of his life, so I’m well versed in all stages of dog life at this point. Currently I have one 2 year old dog who I raised from 3 months old (who is very high energy, so there will be plenty of walks and exercise while your pup is here.) I also have experience training dogs, so if you need some additional help with basic commands and dog walking, I’d be happy to assist! I am a student full time during the week, but have availability and a lot of energy throughout the weekends from sitting in class all day, which is where your dog comes in! I love spending my time with my dog and others dogs, and I spend as much time as I can outdoors in my backyard gardening or going on walks and hikes which is always more fun accompanied by a furry friend! I have a fenced in yard and 1 other doggo who has plenty of energy and toys laying around the house to help entertain your pup. A typical daycare day will usually look like hanging out outside for a bit, play time with me, snack time, at some point I’ll separate the doggos so they can all rest, then we’ll go for a walk and maybe snuggle up inside for a bit. If everyone is particularly energetic we’ll go back outside and play again. My goal here is to give your dog a fun, stress free place to be while you are at work or away for the day/weekend, because that’s always what I want for my dog when I’m gone.

“Daniel is a sweet animal lover who takes excellent care of both his own pets and those of his clients. He's very patient and understanding with animals, and it's obvious they can sense he is a true friend. I have no worries leaving my beloved animals with Daniel, as I know they are always in good, loving hands. Daniel is very responsible and trustworthy, and I always know my babies will be treated wonderfully under his watch!”

About: I completed the Dog Walking Academy in November 2018, provided by TipTopTails Training in Kalamazoo. Also completed Pet Tech CPR, First Aid and Care in November 2018. Having recently retired from WMU, I am looking forward to spending time with your dog(s) or cat(s) and earning some extra income. I have been a dog owner all of my life, my husband and I currently have one American Staffordshire Terrier rescue named Mazzie who is three years old. I am available to come to your home to visit with and care for your pets, I am not able to house your animals at my home during the day or overnight. Eventually, these services may also be available. I have experience with dogs who need daily medications (insulin, seizure meds) or those with chronic issues. I am available to care for your pet(s) in your home while you are away for the day or on vacation. I am retired from WMU and have fairly open days and evenings. I am not able to do overnights at this time. I have had many dogs and right now we have adopted a new rescue dog, a Staffordshire terrier who is about 3 years old. For that reason, I do not bring your animals to my home, I come to you.

“Dear Kenzie, Thanks for taking care of Drax. Really stubborn with new people, but he was very fond of you! Also thanks for being so flexible with my schedule and accommodating my requests! Would book again!”

“Grace was willing to come a long way for a trial walk and then realized it was too far. She was friendly and able to handle my larger dog and nervous smaller dog.”

“Obie enjoyed his walk, thanks!”

“I would highly, highly recommend Jess to care for your pet. She is a very compassionate animal lover and has experience with numerous kinds of animals. She has personally cared for, groomed and "Pet sat" for me with both my older black lab as well as my energetic rough coat collie. My dogs are always so excited to see her and never hesitate going with her. She even has her own dog grooming business and can pet sit and groom your dog as well. You will not be disappointed with Jess caring for your pets, she loves them all like her own and is very responsible and professional.”

“Barb is amazing!!! Every time she gets home, Lola gets super excited because she knows is time for her walk! Barb is sweet and very kind with my baby!! 100% recommended!!”

About: I am a retired high school counselor who loves animals. I’m married, no children, but have two beautiful Maine Coons, Luke and Scout. I have time to help others take care of their dogs and/or cats. I am the biggest animal lover you will ever meet! I can care for your pets when you’re away and give them the care and attention they deserve. Whatever they need while you’re away, just let me know. I’m happy to help! I will feed your pets and make sure they have clean water. If you’re gone for a while, I can play with the cats or take the dogs for walks. In my own home, my cats free feed wet and dry food. They also have a water fountain and get bottled water only. They have tons of toys, many of which are interactive. They get their nails trimmed once a week and combed daily.

“Paige is amazing and super caring with pets! She takes care of them and loves them like her own. She will know how to do everything that is needed, feeding, training, administering medicine. Also, all the loving in the world will be given!”

About: I've had different kinds of pets since I was 8. I have taken care of rabbits, cats, dogs, fish, and turtles. I always have a thing when it comes to animals, I really enjoy their presence. I'm very playful with animals and I always make sure that the animals I take care of are comfortable and happy being around me. I am currently a full time student. If you need me on weekdays please let me know because I have different schedules each day. Notes: I am pretty much available for the summer! My apartment is pet friendly. There's a big field next to my apartment. There is a lot of puppies in my neighborhood so your dog won't ever get lonely. There's also dog waste bags everywhere near my apartment, so your dog can potty anywhere. For cats, I have cat toys in my apartment because I have 2 cats but they currently live at my parents house, for potty I might have to buy the sand or if you could provide one that would be awesome!

“She took some hilarious photos today of Ollie 😂 she never rushes with him and she’s been very reliable walking him while we are at work. Thank you!”

“Jacqueline has given my dog Scooter walks & love throughout my workdays. She always provides great pictures & feedback about Scooter’s behavior. By the looks of it, Scooter always loves to see her! I would recommend Jacqueline to anyone needing their dog walked.”
