Dog Walkers in Benton, MI

About: I have been working in clinical veterinary care for 4 years now. As I'm going back to school to complete my vet tech license, I'm looking for more flexible work that can still fulfill my love for working with animals and providing them care. Having worked in many different kinds of veterinary clinics, including overnight in patient care, I can provide high levels of care even to pets with medical needs. I am comfortable administering all kinds of medication, even to difficult pets, and am comfortable with injections and glucose checks. I can also handle bath times, nail trims, ear cleanings and more! If you need assistance with any of those things, I'm also happy to come help. Simply book as a drop in. I believe deeply in meeting pets where they're at, and learning each pets unique ways of communication and their preferences to make them as comfortable and happy as they can be. I am going to school primarily online, so I have a very flexible schedule to attend to clients' pets needs, whenever they may arise or be required. I meet all pets where they're at! I believe all animals' boundaries should be respected, and I try to learn them up front. I have 3 cats, all with different feeding needs, and an elderly dog, so I'm a master at juggling difficult feeding times and home zoos in general.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other animals since I was very young. I have experience with pets who need medication, frequent walks, special diets, and/or are physically impaired. I also have experience keeping the peace in multi-pet households. I am currently home for the summer before heading to college and have availability throughout the summer to take care of pets! I am available most days and weekends (excluding Tuesdays before 1) to pet sit or walk. I am highly flexible and willing to do whatever is needed to keep your pet(s) safe and happy. I am willing to go on walks throughout the day, give lots of attention to your pet, or just co-exist near each other.

“Jaime was amazing with my dogs. He made sure he took time to understand their needs and what my expectations were. He was great with communication and punctuality. My dogs are a little unruly, but Jamie handled them like a rockstar. Would recommend Jaime for pet sitting or dog walking - can tell he really cares about the well-being of the pet.”

About: Hi there! I grew up with cats but l'm also a dog lover. I dog sit my friends’ corgi and husky sometimes so I decided to join this platform. I also love going to the dog park and think it's the happiest place on earth! I am available for house sitting and to drop in around Metro Detroit and Ann Arbor. I love that dog walking is built in exercise! I have a reliable, safe car and will always treat my clients’ homes’ with respect and care. I always leave the home in great condition.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and I love taking care of them! I have experience with walking them, feeding them, and keeping them company :) I plan to work part-time this summer, but I don’t have anything set in stone yet. Other than that, I don’t have many conflicts. I will probably be free most days and evenings of the week. You can trust me to care for your pet in almost any way they need. I am thorough and will always make sure they are healthy and happy in my care.

“Melissa was great! She always arrived on time and gave us multiple updates during her walk and provided plenty of photos. Our pup was well taken care of. We highly recommend Melissa!!”

About: I have owned two dogs as pets. One lived to be 17. My dogs I have owned were both spunkie and lots of fun! I also worked in Illinois for a local dog walking/sitter company. I would walk my dogs for 20 minutes. If the weather was bad I would walk the pet and play with them inside their home. I had 2-4 dogs a week. Frankie a big sniffer male dog and Ginger an older arthritic dog; they were my regulars. I would end every visit with petting and a treat. I really love my dogs. Every visits ends with a text to the owner including a cute photo and information on whether the dog peed and pooped. I love the flexibility. I enjoy getting outdoors and I love animals. This is a great combo for me. I’m recently stopped working this will a great way to fill my days. My dog gets a lot of love. I believe the best part of dogs is they are simple they just need attention and love. The last two dogs I had I gave lots of petting and hugs. Dogs also need stimulation whether it be playing fetch or using a Kong or some other activity an owner may have I like to incorporate that into my visit.

“Julie was great! Super communicative! My 6 month old puppy has a great time with her on their walks!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. Alongside providing loving day-to-day care, I’ve also fostered senior dogs and supported animals with health conditions such as diabetes and Cushing’s disease, giving them the patience, attention, and gentle care they deserve. I understand how important trust and communication are when leaving your pet with someone else, and I strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where every pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for like family. I currently work a remote job and have a very flexible schedule. I help care for the pets at my house but there are three other people able to help. Just chat about your plans are we can make it work! I have 3 dogs of my own. And they are the babies of the house! We take them for regular walks, to the dog park and out in the yard. Two of them are seniors with arthritis so massages are included every evening after dinner.

“My dog (and I!) LOVES Maura! She takes great care of him on their walks, is super communicative, and is always very responsible and punctual. I’m so glad we found her! She’ll be our go-to sitter!”

About: With several years of hands-on experience, I've had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals and every pet I've worked with has taught me something new. What sets me apart isn't just experience, it's genuine passion for animals of all kinds. What sets me apart is the variety of experience I bring to the table. I have a background in puppy training, helping young dogs build good habits and basic commands from the start. I also have a soft spot for senior pets, understanding that older animals need extra patience, gentleness, and care. 🐶🐱 Beyond the everyday, I'm experienced in administering medications and following specialized care routines, so pets with medical needs are always in safe hands. I've also worked with rescue animals and pets with special needs, approaching every situation with calm, compassion, and plenty of patience. 💛 When you choose me as your sitter, you're choosing someone who brings both the skills and the heart to make sure your pet is truly well cared for. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I will have plenty of time to ensure your pets are well taken care of! I have a lot of extra free time and would love nothing more than to spend it with your pets. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 When I step into your home to care for your pet, my goal is simple: to make sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. 🐾 🏡 Respecting Your Home & Routine Your pet feels most secure in familiar surroundings, so I make it a priority to maintain their existing routine as closely as possible. From feeding schedules to favorite resting spots, I follow your established guidelines so your pet barely notices you're gone. 🦴💧 Nutrition & Hydration I carefully follow your pet's specific feeding instructions, ensure fresh water is always available, and keep food and water bowls clean throughout each visit. 🦮🐕‍🦺 Exercise & Playtime I make sure your pet stays active and engaged while you're away. For dogs, that means walks and outdoor play tailored to their pace and personality. For other pets, I provide interactive playtime and enrichment to keep them stimulated and happy. 🏥💊 Health & Special Care I follow any veterinary or owner-provided instructions carefully. Whether that involves medications, dietary restrictions, or monitoring specific behaviors. You'll always be kept in the loop. 🐶🐱💕 Comfort & Companionship Being in their own home without their family can be stressful for pets. I take time to sit with them, offer affection, and provide the kind of calm, attentive presence that helps them feel secure until you return. Your home will be left just as you found it, and your pet will be happy, healthy, and waiting for your return. 🌟

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and am a proud dog mom to my two pups, Julian and Max. Having my own dogs has taught me how important patience, routine, and understanding each dog’s unique personality are. I treat every pet I care for like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is part of my daily routine with my dogs, Julian and Max, including feeding, walks, playtime, and ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine, providing feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of affection, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in any home.
