Dog Walking Burnips

“She is Awesome! My dog loved her the second they met. Laid at her feet. Shows up on time. Takes photos. I feel comfort in knowing Stevie gets attention from a great hearted caring pet loving person when I am at work.”

About: I’ve been helping my parents raise dogs since I was around 10 years old, our first dog being a collie we rescued as she wasn’t being treated well with her initial owners. We took her in and got her cleaned up, took care of the fleas she had, found her a good diet, and gave her lots of love and attention through it all. We took her on camping trips, out on the water to go fishing, out on walks and to get pup cups at the ice cream shop, her favorite place being my granny’s house. Alongside her, we raised three more dogs when they were puppies, each one two years apart. 2 of them are Australian shepherds, and one is a husky, all girls and grew to form their own little pack, respecting each other’s place and playing happily in a big fenced in back yard. We supported our collie till her last breath as she was elderly, and even as she was so old, she always had her usual, laid back and quirky personality. Even now, I continue to help my parents take care of our dogs, as they’re not just pets, they’re our family, our fur babies, even in they’re old stages of life, they’ll always be our little babies in our hearts. So rest assured, your fur baby will be 110% safe and cared for with me, maybe even a bit spoiled! I’m sticking with Rover full time for a while! I’ve tried Camp Bow Wow, and found it isn’t the right work environment for me. I like providing services through Rover as I can better manage my schedule and get to know your fur babies more personally! With specific instructions written on paper, I have no issues accommodating to your pet’s needs in your home! I’m respectful during visits in others homes, treating them as my own and keeping spaces clean and tidy. With proper cleaning tools, I can clean up accidents on hard surfaces or rugs, I may need a demonstration on how to use a specific cleaning machine or vacuum depending on how complicated it is. I’m not allergic to any animal, or any breed, so pet hair doesn’t bother me! If need be, I am able to administer oral medications with proper instruction and demonstration. On walks I make sure to keep dogs close to me and away from the road, I carry doggy bags, and on hot days, I’ll carry a little folded up bowl that I can poor water in, so your baby stays hydrated!

“Sarah is so great! Professional, caring and attentive. Our pets are so well cared for when she is visiting! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding attention to their pets’ needs!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have owned several dogs with very different personalities and needs. From energetic Australian Shepherds who thrive on activity and mental stimulation to my calm and gentle Golden Retriever, I’ve gained valuable experience understanding how to care for dogs of all temperaments. I enjoy staying active and love spending time outdoors, whether that’s going for long walks, runs, or playing fetch at the park. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, and I’m just as happy to spend quiet time relaxing, cuddling, and providing companionship for pets who prefer a slower pace. I take pride in being responsible, dependable, and respectful of both pets and their owners. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to meet your pet and provide them with the care, attention, and affection they deserve! 🐾❤️ I currently have a work schedule that is all over the place, I am free anytime after 3:30pm Monday-Thursday. I have horseback riding on Friday and on weekends. I’d love to fit your pets needs into my schedule! When caring for pets in their own homes, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise requirements, and any household rules. I understand that pets can feel more comfortable in their familiar environment, so I focus on providing plenty of attention, companionship, and reassurance while their owners are away. I also treat every home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. During walks, your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I pay close attention to their energy level, behavior, and surroundings to ensure they have an enjoyable experience. Whether your dog prefers a brisk walk, a run, or a slower-paced stroll with lots of sniffing opportunities, I adapt to their individual needs. I always use safe handling practices, stay alert to potential hazards, and make sure your pet gets the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve. My goal is for every pet to return home happy, healthy, and tired from a fun outing!

About: I've worked at a Veterinary Clinic for a year where I worked with pets all day! I have owned two dogs, one being a puppy! I’m currently working part-time at Clinic, so I am able to come check on your pet during my lunch break! I am also available to come to your house after work to care for your pet! I am unavailable to board or do doggy day care, but I am able to dog walk, house sit, and dog/cat sit! I love taking care of animals! Working at a clinic has been the best thing for me to know exactly what your pet wants and needs! When staying in your home I will make sure to know how he/she thrives! I will also give daily updates along with a little pic of your pet!

About: I’m a lifelong dog mamma, caregiver and friend of pups of all ages, from puppy to hospice in Byron Center. I have lots of love and energy to give to your dog! I am available to walk or board your pooch in my home in Byron Center and provide a safe, fun , healthy environment for your small to medium-sized pup. I am home 4 days per week with a varying work schedule. I can sometimes make accommodations with advanced notice. I will walk and care for your small to medium-sized pooch in my home. I will provide love and energetic walks and lots of snuggles. I have cared for puppies all the way through to hospice care. I always leash animals while outside and on walks. I prefer a harness. I individualize walks to your dog’s activity level and needs.

About: We have plenty of property for animals to run and play! And a large home that is welcoming to humans and animals! We have a dog, 2 cats, 2 bunnies and chickens! I only work a couple of hours each week so I have plenty of time and energy to play with your pet! We have a dog that also loves having friends come over! We treat our dog, cats and bunnies as members of the family and will treat your pets the same! We look forward to caring for your pets!

About: II’ve been pet sitting for my sister for the past two years, including full week stays while her family travels. During that time, I’ve cared for her two cats – feeding, grooming, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them plenty of love and playtime. Cats are easygoing, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I also have my own dog and cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels. I take my dog on regular walks and love bringing her to the park. Sometimes my cat even joins the adventure! My goal is simple: keep your pet happy, safe, and well cared for. I work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 3–6 pm. Outside those hours I’m available for walks, play, feeding, and maintaining your pet’s schedule; I’ll update you if anything changes. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and at home whether I’m caring for them in my space or in theirs. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddle time—so they feel relaxed and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, since every pet is different. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and always make sure doors, gates, and supplies are secure. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with respect and make sure everything stays neat while giving their pets plenty of love and attention. I also like to send updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pets are happy, safe, and having fun.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with both cats and dogs, and I truly cannot imagine life without them as part of the family. That is not just something I say. It is how I live. I have had cats since I was six years old, and my wife and I have shared our home with both cats and dogs our entire adult lives. Right now, our little crew includes our ten year old dog Nara and our two younger cats, Chiri and Lulu. Living in a multi-pet household has taught me how to read different personalities, manage different energy levels, and create a calm, respectful environment where everyone feels secure. I do not see pets as property. They are sentient, emotional members of the family with their own routines, preferences, and boundaries. When I care for your pet, I approach them with patience, attentiveness, and genuine respect. I adjust to their temperament. High energy or shy. Playful or independent. Young or senior. My goal is always the same. Make them feel safe, understood, and comfortable in their own space. My wife brings years of pet sitting experience and previously worked as a dog trainer and consultant. I have learned a great deal from her about behavior, structure, positive reinforcement, and how to respond calmly in different situations. That experience has shaped how I show up with animals. Steady. Observant. Consistent. When caring for your pets, I focus on: • Keeping routines consistent • Providing appropriate play and enrichment • Maintaining clean food, water, and litter areas • Offering calm companionship when that is what they need • Sending thoughtful updates and photos so you feel completely at ease Leaving your pets in someone else’s care requires trust. I take that responsibility seriously. I will treat your pets the way I treat my own. With patience, kindness, and real affection. If you are looking for someone who understands that your pets are family, I would love to help. 🐾 My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I focus on keeping their routine consistent, with regular potty breaks, play when they’re up for it, and plenty of companionship rather than quick, rushed visits. I’m available for afternoon and evening visits, weekend care, overnight stays in your home, house sitting, and extended care when needed. Whether your pet needs a few check-ins during the day, weekend coverage, or overnight care, I’m happy to work around what fits best for you. I aim to be present, attentive, and easy to communicate with, and I’ll send regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is comfortable and well cared for. If you have specific timing or needs, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to find a setup that works well for you and your pets. 🐾 Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets, whether in your home or mine. In your home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, walking preferences, and any household guidelines you provide. I’m attentive to details like doors, gates, leashes, and secure areas so your pet stays safe at all times, and I treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. My approach is calm, patient, and low-stress. I use fear-free handling techniques and pay close attention to behavior and subtle changes, especially for pets who may be more sensitive or require extra care. I’m also certified in Dog CPR & First Aid, so I’m prepared to recognize and respond appropriately if any concerns arise. I believe in clear, proactive communication. If anything seems off, I’ll reach out right away so you always feel informed and at ease. I aim to create an environment where every pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. They’re family, and I treat them that way. 🐾

“Maryam came out and met Chase and I prior to her first walk with him! She was really wonderful with him and was familiar with our community so very helpful! She allowed time for Chase to sniff her and get comfortable with her while we talked. I appreciate her calm but confident presence! There first walk went great!”

About: I started my personal experience training an animal when I was 16 or 17 raising our family beagle puppy. I have always had a genuine love and curiosity for dogs. They each have such unique, individual personalities and they are more than just animals. They become your best friends! It amazes me to see their compassion and loyalty to their humans. In the past year, I have boarded several different dogs with my husband at our house, and I have also stayed at pet parents houses to watch their dogs as well. It is my desire to treat others dogs with the same love, kindness, and respect that their owners give them each day! I value the variety of structures that people set up for their pets and I will obey those structures. Overall, I will do my best to make your dog feel comfortable and happy during their time apart from their family 😊. I have a full-time position located in Grand Haven, but I only go into the office Tuesdays and Thursdays. My day off is Monday so I definitely have flexibility on that day, and I am at home most of the day Wednesdays, Fridays, and also Saturdays in the morning/afternoon and Sundays in the evening. Depending on the location of the dog, I can make a stop for a drop in or walk on my way to or from work in Grand Haven because it is about a 45 minute drive. If the pet is within 25-30 minutes from my home, I can easily make that drive on the days I work from home. For the days that I have to leave for chunks of time, my husband can also help out if the dog is staying at home with us! I do not have much of a yard at my home, but we live right next to a very spacious park and love to take our furry friends on long walks! We prefer to crate them when we are not at home but we are usually only gone a couple hours at a time if that. We are open to them sleeping in our bed with us depending on the size of the dog 😊. When I stay in a clients home to watch their dog, I am pretty open and flexible to their needs. I have watched dogs who have very specific diets, walking schedules, and sleep schedules.

“Samantha is awesome with my 18-month-old Boxer, Sophie. Sophie warmed up to Samantha and her children immediately and had a great time on their walks! Samantha was prompt, professional, and trustworthy. I will definitely be asking her to help out with Sophie again!”

About: I have 5 dogs of my own, ranging from a cattle dog to a pitbull.I have no problem taking care of any type of animal and I have experience in all fields of care, including bathing, walking, nail-trimming, and more. I’m free from 6am-11pm on weekdays! I do work full-time but my boss is lenient and he’d have no problem with me tending to your furry friends! I personally have 5 dogs in a non-fenced in yard but they are all very well trained. I would prefer to keep your animals in the comfort of their own home though due to my dogs being very playful, if your dogs are comfortable being in a high-energy setting it would be no problem but they don’t need added stress from my rowdy bunch.

About: I've owned dogs my entire life. I'm a teacher looking for some extra income and a way to help you give your pets a good experience while you are away! My job goes on summer break June 2, at that time I will be available any time! Until then I can do evening and weekend care. I'm offering to come to your home and take care of your pets. I'll be available to exercise as well as provide for basic needs!

About: Hi Everyone! I am an outdoor toddler teacher who absolutely loves all animals! I have two rescues of my own and a bunny! I have a deaf dog who I taught sign language to and have gone through Reactive behavior training as well as basic training for dogs! I worked at a dog boarding facility for a year and have fostered through harbor for a couple of years now! I have lots of experience with all sized dogs, all ages, and all behaviors! I am very comfortable and am willing to meet your fur baby before booking with me! I love going on adventures (hiking is my favorite hobby) so I would love to take your fur baby for walks or even just snuggle, whatever is needed!! We had a 16 year old pit mix who required medication everyday so I am very familiar with giving medications, I would also be able to help with basic training during my time if needed! I have experience with all kinds of pet care daily because I worked at a daycare and boarding facility. I have been around all sizes of dogs and all ages. I have been around more aggressive dogs and also the sweetest dogs. I also take care of my own dogs and when I’m done at work I like taking them for walks or snuggling on the couch! I have a very friendly,goofy, clumsy deaf dog who loves all dogs and people as well as a very friendly (submissive) quiet puppy! I also have a big crate for if your fur baby needs to be crated. I have enrichment puzzles for dogs and a big yard. I also am close to a dog park. Or walking trails for hikes!
