Dog Walking Bancroft

About: Welcome! I have over 20years experience working with dogs. I like to look at my pet boarding as an Airbnb for pets! I am a former service dog trainer. I am currently enrolled in dog training courses through Rover. I will be completing a Veterinarian Assistant program this summer. There is always someone home or available. I work & study remotely. I do provide talking dog buttons. If your dog uses them let me know & we will have them available with words your dog uses & hopefully learn some new ones! Anything that is trending that promoted positive life quality for dogs I usually have on hand or am incorporating it into use Each day I incorporate daily walks, cuddles, & basic training. Basic training is eye contact, leash & buddy walking. I provide one on one time for the dogs each daily. I make sure no dog feels left out. In the summer months their last night of boarding they get a special walk to the ice cream store to enjoy a pup cup & extra one on one time. On weekends in the summers. I am outside most days . The dog/s can enjoy ice bowls, kiddie pool, water sprinklers and shade in the backyard. In the summer I offer water play daily! They have free will to come in & out of the house into the fenced in yard all day! In the fall & winter months the dogs can enjoy outside time by a warm outdoor doggie bonfire. There are areas they can romp in the leaves & explore. I also incorporate daily walks weather permitting. On colder days or rainy days we have a rainy paw day. If the dogs are open to it they can enjoy some doggy stretches, Spaw services such as coconut oil rubs on their paw pads, homemade doggie treats, and dog related movies and cuddles!

About: I am a middle school english teacher that is looking to make some money during the summer and meet some cute dogs! I would treat your dog like my own. I have a silver lab of my own that I take on a walk everyday (when the weather allows it). He is 8 years old and has lived the best life by going on puppy play dates, doggy day care, and many trips camping with us. I grew up with all kinds of dogs my entire life and I truly feel they are apart of the family! Should be treated like they are apart of the family.

About: I don’t just watch pets, I connect with them. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I bring calm, intuitive care that helps pets feel safe, happy, and understood. I’m certified in Cat and Dog First Aid through the American Red Cross, so your furry family member is in capable hands, whether they’re a playful puppy, a wise senior, or a shy kitty who needs a gentle approach. I’m reliable, flexible, and endlessly patient, with a creative touch that keeps pets engaged and stress-free while you’re away. From energetic walks to quiet cuddle sessions, I tailor care to each pet’s unique personality. Think of me as your pet’s new favorite human. I also have a background in video and photography and I take great pet photos :) As a freelancer with a flexible schedule, I structure my days around important priorities, like your pet’s routine. I’m available weekdays and weekends, and I can easily accommodate feeding times, play sessions, and royal check-ins. During drop-in visits, I treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I give my own. I’m reliable and on time, and I stick closely to your pet’s established routine to keep things familiar and stress-free. Whether it’s refreshing food and water, cleaning up, or spending quality time together, I make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and well cared for in their own space.

“Lisa is delightful and a great communicator. She is reliable and so good with my senior chihuahua mix, Mika. It is very comforting to know Lisa also has a senior chihuahua, and is very experienced with dog care. I am happy Mika seems to really enjoy her walks with Lisa and was able to get comfortable with her fast. Lisa takes her time and is in tune with Mika’s needs. I feel bad on days I have to leave Mika alone at home for so long for work, so it means the world to me that Lisa makes sure her time with Mika is quality bonding.”

“Kellie and Paige were both great with my dog. He’s a bigger dog and is kinda scared of meeting new people, and they were very patient with him and I on introductions and when they would come by to take him for walks. I also had several shift changes for the month I was here and they were great at communicating and flexible with their schedules, which was very kind. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life, I worked in the vet field for over 4 years in various aspects, I previously worked at a dog groomers. I currently have 1 dog and a cat, I used to have lots of reptiles as well! I'm never afraid of any dog and welcome them with open arms. I currently work part time Wednesday - Saturdays pretty consistently, but my days don't start until earliest 830am and I'm normally done between 4-5 (unless we have a late day scheduled). Sunday - Tuesdays are my off days outside of doctor appointments and any other extra curriculars I do ☺️ I do only offer in home services as my older dog is a bit of a rough player and my younger is in service training and I can't take the risk of him being injured. In you home, I will stay with you pet overnight if that is what makes you the most comfortable. They can sleep with me or be crated, whichever is preferred by you. Feeding will always be on schedule and meds can be administered as needed (I have a lot of experience keeping meds straight for my own dogs). A daily walk will happen (distance dependent on dog and weather) and we will play in the yard and enjoy lots of cuddles and belly rubs!! While I love spoiling my own babys, I'll make sure to keep everything as consistent as possible for you!

About: I grew up in a family full of animals! Everything from dogs and cats to horses or reptiles. I’m currently raising my 3rd service dog through a guide dog organization, so I’m getting training experience through that as well. I’m a recent graduate from Michigan State University and I’m currently working a part time job. I have time throughout the week for drop in potty breaks or walks depending on the day, most weekends I’m free most of the day on the weekends. I have been offering a variety of levels of care for animals for several years, I have no problem giving any medications, specific schedules, going on as many frequent walks or potty breaks depending on what fits your furry friends the best. I love every one of my clients animals as much as I love my personal pets. I enjoy getting to know their personalities and how to help them best feel comfortable. I prefer to do a meet and greet before overnight visits so your furry friends will feel more comfortable with me in their space.

About: I've owned pets of all kinds starting as a child! Animals bring me incredible joy, and I'd love to bring that joy into your home when I watch yours! I've owned, rescued and loved cats, dogs, rabbits, ducks, raccoons, birds, and squirrels! I currently own 4 cats, all of which were rescues. Two of them brother and sister who I hand raised and bottle fed. I also have 3 dogs, A gaggle a blue heelers, so I'm especially used to high energy pups. Though they very recently left my care due to a separation. I take great pride in the attention to detail I give to the animals in my care. I'm experienced in giving all kinds of medications, to both dogs and cats. In fact, one of my own kitties has kidney disease, and I've been managing his treatment and care 100% alone. Cooking him three meals a day, hand feeding, administering any medications needed, and even giving him at-home subcutaneous fluids. But as always, let's please communicate about the details of your pet beforehand if any special care is needed so we can make sure we're a great fit for eachother! I'm a corporate professional who is very fortunate to work from home, and has really great control of their schedule! So I can very likely work my schedule around your needs! For those whose pets I will be dropping in on to feed or walk, I take great care in making sure instructions are followed, and all the needs of your pets are met! I have an abundance of love to give, so rest assured that they'll get as many scritches as they can handle, and as much fulfillment as I can give while I'm there. I know what it's like to have to leave your fur-family alone, and I'll do everything I can to make this time a positive one for them, and you! I also offer cat boarding, which seems rarely offered. I wanted to offer this because I myself have been in a situation where I've needed this service, and I've never found a place that offers it, and it was absolutely so stressful so try and find a solution! For the kitties that stay with me, I have a completely separate spot in my house that I will have them stay in, since I have kitties of my own. The previous owner of my house actually had this section designed as an in-home salon, so it has a completely separate entrance into my home. As cat owners, we know how sensitive and stressed they can get, and introducing cats to other new cats just adds more unnecessary stress. This separate entrance and room allows for a stress free, safe environment that's large and clean to play and hang in, all to themselves! They will have their own sanitized, fresh litter, litterbox at the ready for them. No need to have to haul your own supplies here! Just bring any food and treats (or any special toys or blankets that you feel might be good things for them to enjoy their stay better, or be more at ease!) Your pets must be fully vaccinated in order to come stay, so please be ready to show proof of up to date vaccinations prior to any boarding bookings. This is for the safety of both your fur babies and mine.

“Carissa did an excellent job taking care of Cody. She followed the instructions to a tee.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with pets and currently have 4 cats and 2 dogs, so caring for animals is second nature to me. I love pet sitting, dog walking, and spending quality time with animals of all kinds. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles and attention, I’m happy to make them feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. I know pets are family, and I’ll care for yours like they’re my own! I currently have a very open and flexible schedule for the summer and am available through the end of August. Since I’m home for the summer, I’m able to provide reliable care, flexible scheduling, walks, drop-ins, and lots of attention for your pets throughout the day. I believe pets deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I provide a trustworthy and caring environment where pets get plenty of attention, patience, and affection. I always follow owner instructions carefully and make safety a priority during walks, visits, and playtime.

“Kiara did a wonderful job with our dog Skye. Skye is shy with strangers but Kiara informed us that Skye warmed up to her fast. Kiara kept us informed about the walks with pictures. We will definitely contact Kiara to take of Skye the next time we travel. Thank you”
