Dog Walkers in Avoca, MI

About: *CURRENTLY ACCEPTING EXISTING CLIENTS ONLY* I’m a local dog groomer, part time. I am currently only working with existing clients due to my senior dog’s health. I have my own little hobby farm, where I have dogs, cats, birds, arctic foxes, horses, goats, pigs, and fish! My family takes care of them when I’m taking care of your babies. 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! My schedule now requires dogs to be left alone for around 6-8 hours a day, as I have to be able to care for my struggling pup. I am able to still do overnights, and weekends! Simply cannot do 24/7 stays. 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!

About: I’ve taken care of & shown all kinds & sizes of dogs since I was 8. Currently only have one dog, but he’s a big boy. I’ve showed Golden, Poms, GSD, husky and our current pet is a Berner/Pyrenees. Groomed all of them too. Also experienced with livestock, so I can handle anything! Grew up with horses, goats, cats and rabbits. Super excited to meet your baby! I am looking to fill some time, so I would be super excited to visit your pet! I’m also very flexible on scheduling as well. I will try to keep your pet to their normal schedule, so even if you are gone, they will not be too upset. I respect your property, and will clean up after the dog & myself to the best of my ability.

About: I have always had an animal in my life since the day I was born. My family had gotten a dog a year before I was born and had grown up with her until she passed away when I was in high school. Not only did I help take care of her by taking her on walks and feeding her, I also had a guinea pig, another family pet, our cat Fiona, and my siblings animals throughout my time growing up. My love of animals has come through how I was raised because my household was always filled with some form of furry animal. This ranged from my cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and even goats at one point. I got my first dog my freshman year of high school after our family dog passed and took on the whole responsibility by myself. I have taken care of three dogs at once and this included bathroom breaks, walks, being fed two-three times per day, lots of cuddles, ensuring they always had a full water bowl, and even administering medication for one of the dogs. I am now a proud owner of a golden retriever puppy, miniature English bulldog, and my cat Eskimo. I also dog sit every now and then for one of my friends who also has a golden retriever, and our dogs love going on hikes through the woods together, along with going on swimming adventures this summer! I am currently a full-time grad student at UofM-Flint. I have breaks throughout my schedule that would allow me to care for your animals in anyway needed during the day to help maintain their normal routine! I am a very reliable and respectable individual and will not do anything with your pet unless permission has been asked/given. If there are certain rules or requests for the job, I will follow them accordingly and respect whatever you ask for the time I help take care of your pets. During my time with them, I will treat them as I would hope someone watching my pets would with all the love and attention they deserve.
