Dog Walkers in Buchanan, MI

About: I’ve owned lots of dogs/cats in my life and have worked at 2 different daycares for dogs. I have the patience and knowledge of different breeds and their care. I also have some training knowledge with reactive and rambunctious pups! I currently work part time so I have open availability to spend time with your fur babies! Mornings or night works for me as long as I have decent notice. I live on quite a bit of land so I take my dog out to walk and run in the field. At clients homes I do the same with their yard or if no yard, a walk and playing. However the family wants, I can do.

About: i have cared for and worked with all animals from little kittens to strong horses. i love cuddling with lazy couch potatoes but also have given daily meds and walks for higher maintenance pups so they’re always in good hands. i work part time so i have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. i’m available all days of the week and can take time off or commute depending on what your pet needs :) i can give full time, in home care. your pet will be comfortable in their own space, instead of going through the stress of kennel boarding.

“Gina was great!!! I needed someone to walk my dog Mikey last minute today since I just moved here by myself and was going out to lake chelan for the day with some people I just met. She updated me the whole time and sent tons of pics! Mikey is super nervous and shy around people he doesn’t know and she was so patient with him and eventually he was letting her pet him and everything! He got a nice 1 mile walk. I’ll definitely use her again in the future. You can trust her with your fur babies!”

About: I'm willing to go above and beyond to make sure your pet is being taken care of my someone who is going to treat them like they are their own. Right now I'm more then willing to work with any schedule that helps benefit us both. I'm willing to make a drive if that's what's needed. I treat the pet and the owners stuff as if it's everything. I might clean up a bit of there's small stuff needed done. I'll clean up messes that are caused by any accidents in the home.

“He did an amazing job. My pack is naughty;) But, not knowing us at all, he stepped up to the job. I will definitely book again. Thank you Jeremiah!”

About: I have many years of experience with household animals, family/friends pets, and various types! I am fluid with service animals as well as with animals requiring special care needs! I am currently open to job opportunities and have a pretty flexible schedule for the foreseeable future. I currently have a 14 year old maltese boy Unless specified otherwise, feedings are routine and scheduled based. Any medicines that need to be administered are taken care of. I have a big backyard, unfenced but have space to let pets out and roam on a long leash.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life from an early age. I participated in many dog related 4-H programs growing up and raised a guiding eye puppy as a teen. I have completed obedience training and agility training with my own dogs. I love to meet new dogs and share in the joy and love that they bring to the world. I currently have flexibility in my schedule. I do have to care for my own dog (Nina), but we can work around her schedule and needs. I have a big yard with walking paths in the back that are provide lots of opportunities for sniffing and potty breaks. We will be getting a fence in the near future.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I’ve potty trained them, taught them how to walk with a leash, taught them tricks like sit stay and say your prayers, and too many to say. I will spoil your fur babies like I do mine. You would never have any worries while you’re away they will be in good hands. I love and enjoy being around dogs and or cats. I’d send you videos and or pictures of your fur baby. Some owners have their fur babies on a schedule if so I will do the same. if there is a park nearby I’d probably take them there. But first I would ask the owner what they would like me to do sense it is their pet. I'm retired so I'm flexible. My routine is the fur babies routine. I'd like to keep it that way for them, so I would need to know. I have a fenced in yard, not big for big dogs tho. They will be fed, played with and cuddled. If they need to be caged I have a large one for their comfort.

“Thank you so much for the communication and the patience with my baby boy!!! Especially taking a three day job last minute! You’re amazing.”

About: I grew up a dog lover, and when I moved into an apartment, I became a certified cat person. I have 2 cats of my own that get so stressed out when I go on trips and don't bring them! So I really understand the importance of going above and beyond to play with your pets and keep them company. I am working a full time job that changes hours seasonally. Right now I am available anytime on Monday and Tuesday, and before noon the rest of the week. I am totally comfortable sending pictures and videos of your pets while I’m visiting! We can discuss any other house sitting tasks you would like done, but rest assured and hairballs or other messes will be cleaned!

About: Currently dog walking/ running in the Niles and surrounding area. Let me know your preference and I will get that ball of energy put in the right direction.

About: With many years of experience I am highly qualified to care for your pet. Growing up I started a neighborhood pet care business where I would watch my neighbors pets when they were on vacation. This quickly grew and I started letting out neighborhood dogs after school when their parents would get home late. I also grew up with 2 Labradors retrievers and a Corgi. Due to my ever changing schedule I’m not able to commit to adopting a dog at this time so I’ve come to Rover to help the community and get my fill of animal therapy. Currently I am working from home with a part time schedule. A lot of my work can be done at any time. This leaves me ample time to care for your pet. I have a building just outside of downtown that has a large area in the back. There is a park that is around the corner and plenty of sidewalks for walks. Inside my home there are hardwood floors with area rugs. I am a very neat and organized person so there is nothing your pet will be able to get into.

“Took great care of my 3 month old pup!! Very sweet and communicative. Would highly recommend!”

“Flexible and reliable. Was generous with her time with my pup. Will continue to rebook with her”

About: I have had dogs all my life, most of which were rescued. I also took a class from victoria stillwell on her website designed to teach you how to understand your dog. I adore all dogs and love to learn their different personalities. I never back away from a challenging behavior because I know alot of dogs have experienced trauma just like alot of people. I work full and my schedule can change week to week but my boss try's to keep it consistent. I typically work 7-6 monday through Wednesday 8-4 on Friday's. Anytime this changes I will immediately contact you and work something else out if it conflicts with specific requested times (such as dog walking). I walk my husky each morning before work regardless of what time I go in so you can be sure I will MAKE the time if I have to. :) I will follow any and all rules/schedules you have for your dog. I will also assist with training if asked. If I am house sitting I will do my utmost to keep the house and its schedule the same as you do when you are home. I am happy to train, play, or just hang out with your doggy pal.

About: I have had many pets growing up , animals are my favorite! Allowing me to walk your pet, not only is saving you time but also making my day :) I have a dog at home and I walk him daily! He is my best friend, his name is Ace but I call him Acey pup ! In my home , my pets are my life , very cuddly and warm loving relationship ! Needless to say he is very much spoiled ! And I will treat your pups /pets with the same respect !

About: I've had pets since age 7. Everything from reptiles, fish, cats, and dogs (of all sizes). Grew up with multiple cats and currently have multiple dogs and cat. I have pet sat for family and friends since before I could drive. I love getting to know new furry friends and often walk dogs at the humane society so they get proper socialization, very important. Have had to administer pet CPR twice in my life. Both times were due to dogs choking on an object/food. Positive outcomes from both incidents. Safe and happy is always top priority. I work full time but still have plenty of time and energy to care for not only my own pets but others as well. I know what I can handle and will never take on too much. When in your home I like to know your routine with your pet(s) to keep them on it as close as possible to minimize stress on them which is why I prefer to stay at a client's home with their animal, if possible. Your pet will never be unsupervised outside, even with a fenced in area I will be out there with them. Your pet will be spoiled with love and pets, if they permit it.

About: I’ve been a huge animal lover since I was a child. I absolutely love my fur baby she is my entire world. I don’t have kids so she is literally my baby. I make sure anytime I’m dog sitting all the fur babies are loved, cuddled and cared for. All my friends and family always call me to walk their pets ,for feeding, potty breaks and overnight stays. I currently work a full time 40 hour job at a psychiatric center here in south bend but I’m free most weekends starting Friday after 6:30pm all the way to Sunday! I do have plenty of time to take off work if I need to cover an emergency during the week, I am more than willing to do that I will mostly be sitting at clients homes, but if I dog sit at my home I do have a big yard but dogs will always be leashed for potty breaks because the yard is not fenced and I’d rather be safe than sorry, also if your dog needs a crate I do have a medium sized one from when my baby was spayed. I have AC and lots of comfy doggy beds and spots for dog to lay. I have a cute yorkie who is very playful, but also keeps to herself.

About: Growing up my parents have always had dogs. We would have at least three at a time, so our house was a little crazy, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way! Now that I’m married and on my own I had to get a dog because they make life so much better. I have had experience with giving medication to dogs, cleaning their ears, trimming their nails and giving baths. I have also went to several training classes with the dog I have now. I have raised him since he was a puppy. I have always had experiences with dogs, and I love that this can be my job! I’m currently a full time student and all of my classes are online, so I am home all day which will give me more time to play with your fur babies! I am available all day everyday! My husband loves dogs as much as I do and we usually take my own dog to the dog park on post to let him get some exercise. I have a dog of my own and he is very social with other people and dogs. I have kept a him around dogs since he was a puppy and he loves to play! He is friendly and all he wants is attention. I have watched dogs for friends an family before and he loves the company. That is one reason I am also excited about joining rover!

“Me my dogs are so happy to have Alex here to help! She’s a God send for my fur family. Happy Holidays and appreciate you being there for us!”
