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. I currently work part time from home. I am usually available Monday - Thursday after 2pm, and open availability on the weekends depending on my son’s sports schedule or vacations planned. 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.

About: I love all animals but I have lots of experience with dogs. I have helped my family and friends take care of their dogs since I was 13. They trusted me to stay with their pets overnight, drop in and visit them and let them out, and just play with them or walk them. Every person has trusted me multiple times, allowing me to help out again! I am at home working a waitressing job as well so my hours will fluctuate but they will always be available from 6-9 a.m. on the week days and all day Sunday Unfortunately I cannot house dogs because I am in my parents house but I am able to drive somewhere close to give your dog a walk.

“Alicia is always great with our Lucy! I appreciate that she is always willing to come to our home even with such short notice! :) She sends pictures and updates of Lucy which is much appreciated as well.”

“Lauren is great. I had already booked Lauren to come on a specific day where both my husband and I work long hours. On this day, my chronic illness appeared which sometimes keeps me bedridden so Lauren kept the appointment anyway and walked Mabel. I felt such relief because I feel guilty about not giving Mabel the outdoor time and exercise that she needs when I become ill. Lauren is so dependable and Mabel clearly enjoys her.”

About: I’ve taken care of my dog for years along with watching family members pets and neighbors. I’m the person they text first if they ever need someone to watch their pets. I can do any time over the weekends. I go to Central Michigan University, so any off time I have at school I can watch your pet. I try to make myself at home to make sure the pet is comfortable. Not being too loud. Bringing them everywhere with me. Treating them as if their my pet.

About: Hi, I’m Maddy! I’m a reliable and responsible pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping your pup company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine. I take the time to follow your instructions closely so your dog’s schedule stays consistent. My goal is to make your dog feel happy, relaxed, and at ease—even when you’re not home. While I’ve had cats my entire life, I’ve spent many years caring for family dogs and dog-sitting regularly. Through that experience, I’ve become comfortable handling different temperaments and energy levels, and I’ve learned how to build trust quickly with new dogs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from pit bull mixes to mid-sized doodles to small Maltese. I’m confident working with a variety of breeds, whether they’re energetic and playful or more calm and relaxed. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays in your dog’s home. I also provide regular updates with plenty of photos of your pup, so you can feel confident knowing your dog is in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my routine right now because I have a lot of availability this summer. I’m only taking a few college classes, so my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, stick closely to their routines, and be available for walks, drop-in visits, or extended care throughout the week. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. During visits, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific needs your pet may have. I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I also keep your home tidy and respect your space. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

“We we very comfortable leaving our two dogs for the day, she walked them 3 times and made sure they had food and water.. I will certainly be using her service again!”

“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”

About: I have three now grown boys. When my husband and I were married for 20 years, we decided every child should have a dog, so when our kids were 17, 14 and 11, we got an American Pit Bull Terrier, "Clarabelle". Our family loved that dog and worshipped the ground she walked on. We had her since was 6 weeks old. She lived a great life. Unfortunately, we had to put her down when she was 2 months short of 14 years old. We miss her so much, but one of our boys and his wife live out of state and we travel now, and can't have a dog full time, but I would love to care for your animals and give you the peace of mind that they are well taken care of. Since covid, I work remote in Macomb MI. I am a paralegal. I go into the office two days per week, usually Wednesday and Thursday. On those days I am available for walks/drop ins after 4 p.m. The rest of the time I am available full day. Use Code CRISTF38670 for $20 off your new bookings (must be new to Rover) I am very excited to come and be with your fur baby! It is important to me that your pet is safe and stress free. I would like to stay as close to their normal daily routine as possible, whatever that may be. I will provide your pet with tons of attention and love!

“Christina was fantastic. Totally professional, normal, and clearly loves animals. We felt comfortable letting her in our home when we weren’t home and she was always letting us know when she finished walks. She sent lots of pics every day and gave us status reports. Will definitely be having her walk our dog again. Highly recommend!”

About: Although I've never owned a dog, I have watched plenty for my friends and family. I love caring for dogs because there is never a dull moment. I'm a big walker, and I love when I dog sit and get some company on my walks. I am currently a full time student, with most of my classes being in the late afternoon/ early evening. With that being said, most mornings I am available. Cats don't require quite the same amount of attention as dogs, so I can always stop in to check on them before and after my class during the evening if needed. I treat every home I care for — including my own — like a safe, calm space for pets. At my place, my four cats have a predictable routine with plenty of food, water, litter boxes, and quiet spaces to retreat to. I pay close attention to their behavior, making sure everyone is comfortable, calm, and happy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and respect the environment they’re used to. I keep their space tidy, maintain their usual routines, and ensure they have everything they need to feel safe — whether that’s food, water, clean litter boxes, or quiet corners to relax. I also observe interactions and personalities, adjusting my approach to match each pet’s comfort level. Updates and photos are part of my care so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and secure.

“Kelsey has a sweet personality! She is excellent with communication and was available to walk Maya. She showed up on time, came excited and made me feel like Maya was important. I am so grateful to have found her and appreciate the way she helped while I worked remotely today! Maya will be tired and content! I highly recommend Kelsey!”

About: I grew up always having animals in the house so I’ve always connected really naturally with them and loved being around them. I’m an artist, so I have a pretty patient and calm personality, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets, going on walks, playing, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. For friends, family, and some strangers, I have been someone to lean on when it came to checking on, playing with, or walking their fur babies! I workout consistently so I can always enjoy a good walk. I have a dog with a heart condition and took care of an elderly dog that I had my whole life so I can easily adapt to the environment each pup needs! I am currently a freelance graphic designer and photographer which allows for a lot of free time and a flexible schedule! My days consist of spending time outside, working out, and playing with my own fur babies! I have 2 dogs myself, a large shiloh shepherd and a pomeranian yorkie so I have experience walking and playing with both large and small dogs!

“Natalia was great and my dog loved her. She showed up on time everyday! Thank you Natalia!”

About: I have had 4 cats, one little dog, and two Great Pyrenees growing up! I have also volunteered to take care of cats in a shelter where I fed them, cleaned the litter boxes, and played with them! I love animals and I am able to get along with them easily! I am currently finishing my senior year of high school! My afternoons are usually empty unless I am DoorDashing so my schedule is super flexible. I am also usually available on weekends! Currently I have two Great Pyrenees at home. They bark a lot and I am pretty good at controlling that. Though, I can’t usually take them on walks for that reason so I am excited to potentially start walking more. Feeding and cleaning up messes/accidents is no big deal for me!

“Bony was amazing!! I typically take my own dog for a walk every single day, she craves it! It’s honestly been too cold so we skipped a couple of days and I found myself in a pickle. So at the VERY last minute I messaged Bony and she saved us both!!! She was amazing, accommodating and I would’ve never guessed I was her first client as I found out right before she left. She showed up on time which was a blessing as my schedule was already super tight. I’m definitely getting ahold of Bony again very soon!!!”
