Dog Walkers in Branch, MI

About: What sets me apart is the diversity and depth of my experience. I have cared for animals in AZA Accredited Zoos and Aquariums in addition to beloved pets. I am a Certified Canine Training and Behavior Specialist (CCTBS) with the Animal Behavior Institute, and my methods are backed by empirical scientific evidence. No matter what the service, I treat my responsibilities with the utmost care and attentiveness. I am also more than happy to accept reactive and fear-aggressive pups, for which much of my experience involves. :) I am currently available all mornings and early-mid afternoon's for walks and check-ins! My other occupation as a driving instructor affords me very flexible hours. I treat all animals with respect and kindness. My approach is positive reinforcement only - gentle, firm and backed by real science. With my experience caring for animals of all ability levels and temperaments, I am comfortable administering any medications. The same care, attentiveness, and professionalism applies to all of my work.

“Taylor was amazing! Yesterday was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous about my pup being home alone... Taylor called me at work (per my request) so that I could go over how to get into my house, etc. and she calmed my nerves too :) when she got there, he had tore up his mattress pad in his kennel- she cleaned it up so that he couldn’t eat it. She then walked him, took pictures for me and played with him enough to tire him out for a bit. She was so good with him anc it was so appreciated! ❤️❤️”

About: I absolutely love animals and I have enough energy to keep up with them too! I have experience in veterinary background which ensures I am trained to catch any early health issues. I can give medication on a schedule or keep up with special needs as well :) I work as a Muskegon county park ranger in the mornings and afternoons except Mondays and Tuesdays. I am very comfortable with commuting as I live in Ludgington. I can be as flexible as you need, whether it be boarding, house sitting, or dropping in for a playdate before or after work! I have a fully fenced in back yard with lots of room to play both my cat and my dog get along well with other animals! Both are fully up to date on all vaccines and neutered! I also have a room set aside for my cat that is dog free which could be shared with other cats. I am comfortable with crating for longer stays and my dog is crate trained as well!

About: I’ve always had a deep love for four-legged friends, and there's nothing more rewarding than seeing a dog happy and loved! 🐾 I’ve cared for several of my neighbors' dogs over the years, offering walks, playtime, and even TV time when they’re feeling lonely. Every dog deserves attention, love, and a little extra care, and that’s exactly what I provide. Whether it's cuddles, a good play session, or just some company, I treat every dog like my own furry family member! 🐶💕 I am self-employed on my farm Five and a Half North Farm, LLC, so I have ample time in my schedule daily. I have cared for many types of pets, including hamsters, bunnies, dogs, cats, and chickens. I have a small fenced area in my yard for pets to run. I generally care for pets in other people's homes and respect the instructions for each pets needs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was child. My family raised our family dog since she was a puppy and even potty trained her. I also have experience teaching dogs commands as well. My schedule has changed! I’m willing to board only on weekdays. Drop-ins and walks on any day of the week! Let me know if you have my questions! I have a fenced in yard for dogs to roam as they please. My home also has plenty of space to house them and to ensure that they can have whatever set up they need. I’m willing to aid in potty training as well.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for decades. I would love the opportunity to watch your pets. I do have a dog of my own. I am retired so I have plenty of time to watch your pets. Give me a try. I’m looking g forward to it. Thank you. I have one small dog named Gracie. I would walk your dog on a leash. Attention given to your pet. Thank you for your business.

About: I grew up in a household that rarely had less than 3 dogs at a time. I love all types of dogs - big, small, mutt or purebred - they all have hearts of gold. Contact me if your pup (or any other fur babies) needs some extra attention (either in-home or in my home), exercise, or boarding! All breeds/sizes/ages welcome. Your pet will receive plenty of care, attention and love. I have extensive experience working with anxious pups. My parents’ dog shakes/cries at any loud noise, the smell of bacon cooking (yes, really... makes her think of the smoke detector going off), etc. I’ve always been able to calm her down. I have also worked with skittish and aggressive dogs. My friend has a pup that bites/barks at almost everyone, but he now cuddles up and cries of excitement whenever I come over. I am currently self-employed, and my schedule is very flexible. I can work with your schedule. I also accept last minute bookings as well, so don't hesitate to reach out! I live in a spacious duplex and welcome boarding. Animals are allowed to explore and are allowed on the furniture if they so choose. I am more than happy to house-sit too--I can travel upwards of 50 miles for stays and I always leave homes in the same condition I found them.

“Shawna. I can’t thank you enough for your energy, confidence and overall amazing personality! Thanks for helping me out in a bind, being flexible, and so understanding of my dear yet anxious pup. Appreciate you and would definitely hire again!”
