Dog Walkers in Austin, MI

About: I have loved and have been owned by many animals for all of my 61 years. Caring for them is an honor I cherish greatly! I taught high school for almost 30 years at Concordia Lutheran High School and almost 8 years as a social worker. I’ve absolutely adored my students and clients and would like to shower my love on your pet-angel(s) as well! I have recently retired from my careers as a high school teacher and from social work. What this means is that I now have ample time to spend with your pet(s) each weekday and weeknight as well as on the weekends! create my own schedule on an as-needed basis for you…plus I usually have weekends free for ample time with your pet. I love to walk, play and give lots of love and attention so those will be incorporated frequently! I will treat your pet(s) and home with the utmost respect as I do my own. I will stay in frequent contact with you and will take pictures throughout the visit and send updates each night so you can be assured of my service and your pet’s well-being.

About: I have had cats all of my life, ranging from young kittens to elderly cats (fun fact: my oldest cat lived into her 20’s). I respect their space, play with them, and give them all of the love I can. While I currently don’t own a dog, I am comfortable with them as well. When offering services in home, I am available to grab your packages, do light cleaning, water your plants, and send you cute photos of your babies. I work full time at an 8-4 job. I can come in before or after work plus full availability on the weekends to come care for your pets. I will always respect the animal’s space and make them feel as comfortable as possible. I would wait for them to warm up to me rather than forcing them into an uncomfortable situation.

About: I've worked as a vet assistant, at a pet store, volunteered at a animal shelter and have been dog training, grooming, walking and pet/dog sitting for years. This is what I do for work so I am able to be with your sweeties as much as possible! Feel free to reach out to me! I always monitor and take as best care of them possible. Excercise when they need, rest when they need, potty, food etc. if your pets have a schedule I'll stick to it. If not well then tell me what you'd like and call it done!

About: I have grown up on a farm my entire life and absolutely love animals. I have 3 dogs a Shih Tzu, Austrian Shepard, and English Shepard, so I have worked with a few different sizes and energy levels. I also have lots of cats that I absolutely adore. In addition, I have taken care of some family friend pets and loved it so I thought I would give this a shot! I’m currently in college and I am missing my pets. My workload is pretty light right now so I thought l this would be a great way to use my time and hopefully I can save a little as well. Currently, my schedule is pretty workable on both weekdays and weekends! I know that when I am way I want to make sure that my pets are in good hands. I hope that I can be those set of good hands for you! I am able to do what needs to be done in order for your pet to feel safe and taken care of.

I have taken care of high maintenance/high energy dogs which include but not limited to: Beagles, Beagle/Golden Retriever (my current dog), Labradoodles, and German-Shepherd mix. I have also taken care of smaller dogs including shitzus and shitzu/Pomeranian. My family and friends have relied on my many times to take care of their dogs. I am currently working full-time, 7:30 AM-4:30 PM. But I have an hour for lunch so I will have time to visit your home and make sure your dog is very well taken care of.
