Dog Walkers in Avoca, MI

About: Hello! My name is Kennedy! I am a owner and a caregiver for pets of all kinds and personalities! I have had animals my entire life! I care for pets more than I can put into words. I have taken in strays and nursed them back to health, I have cared for many injuries on people’s pets, I have a keen sense for animals feelings, and I know how much you care for your furry family members! I will stop at nothing to make sure my clients are well cared for to the absolute best of my ability. No job is to small or to big! I have experience with hyper pets, pets with health needs, pets with diet needs, pets with allergies, pets with anxiety, pets with little to no training, pets with special needs, pets with joint issues of all kinds, pets with cancer, pets who need medication, pets who have a strict schedule, pets with arthritis, pets who need ointment, pets with injury or wound care (including wound dressing), pet bathing and grooming, and a lot other experience! A little about me. I am a high school graduate who has always loved animals. I applied for vet school and couldn’t quite afford it, but I’m still working towards it! I have 6 easygoing pets! All of my pets are spayed/neutered. I have 4 cats, all of them get along great with dogs and other cats! I also have two dogs, they also get along great with other dogs and cats! My one dog is a 1 year old husky purebred who is hyper, outgoing, and very happy! My other dog is a 9 year old mix breed! My animals have given me a lot of experience. My one cat actually was a outside kitten who had got caught in a car engine and lost two of her toes! I was there and helped her through it all and now she is my baby!

About: I have had pets or been relied upon for taking care of my own pets for well over 20 years. Friends and family have counted on me to watch their pets when the opportunity has come up. I will treat your pup as my own. I am currently self employed and find most of my days either on the phone or computer at home with ample time to play with my six year old Beagle. Our pup is on a set feeding schedule and is left out of her crate pretty much 24-7. Our back door has a screen door that allows for easy access to the back yard. I have a fenced in backyard and our back door screen acts as a doggy door. Our six year old Beagle is friendly and will provide a companion for your pup. We can easily crate your dog upon request.

“Thank you, Bailey! Amber had a great time walking with you!”

About: I’m a local dog groomer, part time. I have my own little hobby farm, where I have dogs, cats, birds, arctic foxes, horses, goats, pigs, and fish! I’ve fostered multiple orphaned animals as young as 24 hours old. I’ve cared for wild animal orphans until they could get to a rehab. I’ve cared for snakes, lizards, chinchillas, hedgehogs, ferrets, etc. I’ve bottle fed, given injections, and even have given IV fluids to my pets at vet direction. So, animal experience is putting it lightly! I house sit for friends and family frequently, and am looking to expand my services. My oldest pup is a super senior sheltie who needs a little extra love to stay comfortable. I also have a Pyrenees mix with severe storm anxiety that requires medication, so I’m familiar with what that entails. All of my dogs get a kibble diet paired with different supplements based on their individual needs, so I have no problem feeding more complicated diets as instructed. My foxes are primarily raw, and I’ve taken classes on pet nutrition. I’m currently training my red lab pup to be a cardiac alert service prospect, and have gone through maple creek training for obedience and socialization work. I’m constantly studying new techniques and ways to work with animals to keep them healthy and well rounded! I just dropped down to part time at my current job, and will be working remotely outside of then. So, my schedule is much more open than it used to be. It allows me to spend more time at home with pets, walking, feeding, and all other care. I DO have to be able to leave for a few hours a day to do some chores (grocery shop, doctors appointments, and animal care as needed). I’m comfortable walking or supervising your dog in a fenced yard, to potty. I can give medications and supplements as directed, to help keep your pet comfortable. If it’s a breed that requires brushing and maintaining while you’re gone? I’m comfortable doing it to prevent matting. Having so many different breeds dogs and cats of my own, under my belt, and having worked with so many others? I’m pretty comfortable with all pets. I’m working on receiving pet CPR classes, as well!

“We love Shannon! Both my dogs warmed up right away to her. She’s very flexible & great at communicating. Wouldn’t want anyone else to walk our pups!”

I currently have one indoor cat and one indoor dog, as well as cows, sheep, a pony, and a donkey. I feed all the feral and stray cats that show up at my barn and have learned a great deal about cat personalities from them. I often babysit my daughters three cats and ferret so have experience with caring for multiple pets at once. I work Tuesday thru Friday from 5:00am to 2:30 pm and I have about an hour of taking care of my animals each day. The rest of my time I have free to take care of your pets. I will be respectful of your individual animals personality and offer them as much or little physical attention as they want. I’ll make sure they have fresh clean food and water, keep their litter area clean, and can scoop or completely change out litter as needed.

About: After trying to find a sitter for my own dog, I realized how expensive dog boarding was. So I wanted to offer people a cheaper alternative. If you are looking for an at home feel kinda stay then this is it! I'm not a professional, but I love dogs. I love playing with dogs, walking them, and giving lots of snuggles. I have always owned at least one dog and have experience with lots of different breeds. I have a gentle voice that even shy dogs open up to me. I enjoy grooming dogs and making them feel special. I am a stay at home mom so your fur baby would have constant care and companionship. I have a pretty open availability and am very flexible. I can provide care in my home or in yours. I have 2 children, a 1 year old and 8 year old, so if your dog isn't comfortable around children I would have to go to your home.
