Dog Walkers in Anchor Bay Shores, MI

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, as well as fish. I have most experience with large bully breeds. I had a black Labrador/Chow mix and English Mastiff growing up. I unfortunately recently lost my 13yr old American Bulldog in November of 2023, and 10 yr old Pitbull in May 2024 to cancer. We had both girls since they were pups so it was an huge devastation to our family. We currently have our 10 yr old Calico cat that was raised with them since a kitten. I have dog sat for friends and family as well in the past. I have experience giving oral medications and supplements if needed. I know how hard it is to work full-time and still have time to give the love and attention to your dogs that you want for them. I know many people have a hard time trusting doggy daycare with other strange dogs and the little one on one time they receive with handlers. I can give you the peace of mind knowing your pet is being well taken care of and receiving all the love and attention they deserve. During the school year I work at my son’s school on Monday, Thursday, and Friday from 10:50-1:15. Outside of that I am open for any pet drop-in or walking needs. :-) Your pets will receive a lot of attention and love along with any necessary needs. I am in good physical condition and can lift or handle strong, heavy dogs as well.

“Excellent dog walker! Patient and reliable. Goes above and beyond!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember—growing up with dogs, cats, and even reptiles! I currently have a boxer mix, a Rottweiler, and a rescue cat! I also worked at a pet hotel for two years, where I made sure furry guests were well-fed, squeaky clean, and had tons of playtime. Whether it’s a tail-wagger or a purring cuddlebug, I’m all about keeping pets happy, healthy, and having fun! With working part-time & going to college, I have certain availability. Here are my available hours! Wednesdays after 4:00 pm and Fridays-Sundays anytime! I am based in Macomb but I also offer services to Chesterfield, Washington, Romeo, Clinton Township, Ira Township, Algonac Since I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on keeping your pet happy, healthy, and comfortable right in their own environment. During walks, I make sure your pup gets the right amount of exercise, mental stimulation (sniff breaks!), and of course, plenty of love and encouragement. Safety is always a top priority—I stay aware of surroundings, and adjust walks to fit your dog’s energy level and needs. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or just some cuddle time. I always make sure water bowls are full, paws are happy, and your pet feels cared for and content while you're away.

“Lauren has been fantastic! We hired her at the beginning of this year for a few days a week to walk our Weimaraner. He’s a big puppy with a lot of energy and she has been amazing with him. She communicates with us on how his visits and walks go. She has been incredibly flexible with a few times we have even had to change our schedule around. We are so thankful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone needing her services.”

“Britnie was wonderful with our energetic old dog! She took care of all her needs, walked her and even had to deal with old dog problems, which she did perfectly. I will absolutely use Britnie for all my future fur baby needs! Totally recommend Britnie!”

About: Hi there! I’m a devoted dog mom with a passion for caring for pups of all sizes and stages of life. I grew up always living with pups, including living with an Aunt during college, whom had 6 rescued I lovingly doted on and cared for! I’ve been honored to raise and train a rescued, older black lab (Kimbo) and a golden retriever (Lucy) from 6 weeks until she died at age 8.5. Lucy had both hypothyroidism and epilepsy, so I’m very familiar with administering daily medications and monitoring for special needs! Sadly, My lab died of old age and Lucy recently died from cancer at age 8.5. Our newest pup is a 5 month old golden retriever, Millie! She is a joyful addition to our family including my husband, 4 kids, two guinea pigs & Millie! Lucy & I graduated from obedience school. Thus, I know well its value! Millie is currently enrolled & I attend all of her lessons! She graduated puppy school and is in intermediate-advanced, now. We use crate training and positive reinforcement daily in our home, and I know how to create a calm, structured environment that helps dogs feel safe and secure! If there are any training commands you're working on with your pup, please let me know so that I can also reinforce them! I’ve also helped care for my neighbor’s dog for several years—walking and feeding her while they were away. Whether it’s a pup who needs extra playtime, a shy dog who thrives on quiet cuddles, or a senior who needs a little extra TLC, I’m here to help. I’d love to meet your furry family member and offer them the same love, consistency, and attentiveness I give my own! Let’s chat—I can’t wait to care for your pup! I make and manage my own schedule around that of my four children, Golden fur baby and spouse! I'm an RN and breast cancer survivor who currently works in the home, balancing and managing the needs of my family. I have a fenced in back yard and large dog crate, when I care for your dog at their home they have the benefit of staying in their familiar environment. Let me know if your pup needs socialization with my dog loving pup! I use positive reinforcement training & a firm, caring tone to calmly redirect your dog reinforcing their best behavior. I believe in giving your pup lots of attention, tailored to their unique personality and needs.

“Lisa was dependable and good with walking our Sammy. I highly recommend her!”

About: Through most of my adult life I've been responsible for caring for our families pets. This includes food, water, bathing and grooming, training, stimulation, medication, and anything else they may need. I mostly cared for dogs and cats but would occasionally help with horses. I often pet sit for my out of state family for long stretches of time, taking care of their pets needs and making sure they have a fun companion while their family is away. I work part time and make my own schedule, so I have plenty of flexibility to fit pet sitting into my routine. I can also work from my laptop while on the go, but pet's needs always come first. I have currently have a very energetic cat who loves to play. I'll play with her at least 30 minutes a day, though usually I'll keep playing until she loses interest. In terms of affection I spoil her all day and she loves it. When dog sitting for family I walk each dog 3-5 times a day, depending on each dogs needs. One dog I care for needs medication, so ensuring she receives it consistently each day at the same time is a priority. I find activities each dog likes doing and love spending time with them either playing with toys, roughhousing, or watching dog videos on YouTube, which one really enjoys.

About: I have had experience with multiple kinds of animals. I have a Flemish Giant (Rabbit), a dog (Chihuahua), and have had 2 (Parakeets). I also have some Vet Tech training as well but not limited to clipping nails, giving injections, bandaging, bathing, feeding, training, walking, and bottle feeding. I am available during the weekdays from 8:30am-3pm. I can also do some weekends if given advance notice ahead of time. Look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am always making sure to check for behavior cues of other animals if applicable when your fur baby is in my care. Securing leashes to make sure that your animal(s) are safe at all times, and making the environment animal friendly as well as comfortable for your animal.

About: I’ve taken care of my relatives dogs and cats, while they are on vacation or occupied. I am most familiar with big dogs but I have experience with all types of dogs and cats. I have two dogs in my family, that I love to spend time with and care for. I’m home from my college Grand Valley State University currently, and have some spare time. Since I love dogs and animals in general so much, I would love to work with them while earning some money for school! I have a partially fenced in back yard for one German Shorthair Pointer(Dalton) and a year old golden retriever(Kirby). My family takes them on frequent walks, and feeds them with mostly cooked meals. They have lots of play time, and lots of snuggle time.

About: Being a dog lover is part of my identity. I have 2 (high-energy) rescue pups and they're my besties. I walk them 1-2 times a day and would love to be your pup's new favorite walking buddy. Whether your dog needs a power stroll, a sniff-filled adventure, or just a little midday movement, I’ve got you covered. I'm new to Rover and currently have a flexible schedule. I'll mostly be available Monday- Friday from the hours of 6am- 3pm but open to accommodate additional requests. I will treat your dog as I treat my own- with love, belly rubs, & ear scratches. I know how to walk dogs safely, as I have experience of walking my own.

About: I've taken care of my dog and others’ since I was 10 years old. This includes a variety of rescues, pit bulls, golden retrievers, small dogs, and larger dogs. I adore all dogs and any animals! I could walk/spend time with them for ages, so I would love to have an opportunity to meet/walk your kiddos(pets). I also have experience with cat sitting and have been around many different personalities. I adore cats as well as dogs and would love to have an opportunity to meet/be with them! Kind regards:) I can fit pet care in whenever needed. I just graduated from IIT in Chicago, and I am currently living back with my parents in MI. I don’t have plans for work quite yet, so I have availability for drop ins, walks, and house sits usually any day! I know how to keep dogs safe while walking, and I allow them to smell what they need to while also getting in the exercise. My love for animals is immense, and I will treat your dog with the same passion/care I have for mine. As for homes, I am blessed to have been raised well because I know to clean up after myself (of course) and leave any place better than I found it!

“Courtney did a fantastic job with my boys. I had a family emergency out of town and she was reliable and efficient. The boys liked her pretty quickly too! My pup decided to demolish a box of Kleenex while I was away and Courtney cleaned it all up for me too! I will definitely have Courtney watch the boys again in the future! She is a little angel! Linda”

“Mikayla walked our dog for 5 days. She was always on time and Enzo loved his walks. We would definitely recommend her and will be working with her for our future needs.”

“Caitlin was wonderful! She did a meet and greet with my pup so that my dog would would be familiar with her before she was walked for the first time. Caitlin was great with communicating me and keeping me updated on how my dog was doing. She always sent photos of my dog, which made this dog momma feel at ease. I would 10/10 recommend and use Caitlin again.”

About: I currently have two yellow labs, I've never met a dog I didnt love and who didnt love me! My take is simple, your dogs will be my grand children. They will be loved and spoiled and taught manners with patience and care. We will play fetch, chase butterflies, and cuddle. Kisses are accepted and encouraged. I have never NOT had a dog as an adult and have always trained myself. My dogs are well mannered, do not jump up on people ( that's important for large dogs) and find myself with time on my hands. I make my own dog cookies and use only fresh ingredients like apples and carrots. My home is large and dog proofed, because a little hair never killed anyone. I no longer work outside my home. This is my full time job that I absolutly love. Your pet will get a ton of love and attention. I have tie out runs and a two door safe net. Your pet will never be outside alone. We get lots of excercise with family walks daily.
