Dog Walkers in Byron Center, MI

“Macey is awesome! She took great care of our old lady dog for many weeks, helping with early morning walks and helping her throughout the day, as well. Our little dog can be kind of shy and anxious around new people, but she warmed right up to Macey! Would definitely recommend for all your pet care needs.”

About: Hi! My name is Julio, and I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Being around them just feels natural to me. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from small breeds to big, energetic ones and of all ages, from playful puppies to older, more relaxed companions.I treat every dog with the same level of love, patience, and care. I’ve even trained my most recent pup, a 10 month old chocolate lab, so I understand how to handle energetic dogs and reinforce good habits during walks and visits.My goal is to make sure every dog I care for feels safe, happy, and well exercised. I love keeping dogs active and engaged, but I’m also very focused on their safety and comfort at all times. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just some extra attention, I’ll make sure they have a great experience.If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive to treat your dog like family, I’d love to help! I have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I am available Saturday-Sunday 10AM-6PM currently as im still working a full time job during the week. Weekday times may open up for me depending on how much business I earn here! I’m very flexible so if there’s ever any schedule conflicts I can make it work! I am currently living in an apartment so I will only be doing the walking services and not the boarding as I do not have a home or backyard.

“Layla had such a great time with Ellie! I appreciated the pictures she took on their walk and also the amount of time she spent with my dog. Will definitely rebook!!”

“Renee is such a gem, and my pup loves her time with her. It is so nice to know on the days that I work late I don’t have to worry about my pup having to be alone all day and not get her steps in. Renee is very communicative and reliable. A welcome addition to our weekly routine.”

About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs and cats while they have been on vacation since I was around 10. I am always trusted and have so much fun doing so! I am currently in graduate school getting my Masters degree in social work at GVSU. I am in the accelerated program and have an internship. I love animals and would love to make some extra money on top of my schedule. I would love to go on long walks! I am also available to let your little friend out while you are out of the house for a potty break or just to hangout and play with some toys! I love some good cat snuggles as well!

“Ryann & Wren were great with Azula. Would book their help again. Thanks!”

About: I stand out as a pet sitter because I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs, have over five years of experience, and maintain clear communication with owners through daily updates and photos. My reliability and genuine passion for animals ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Balancing pet care with a full-time work schedule is manageable through careful planning and flexibility. I organize my day to ensure pets receive regular attention, exercise, and feeding before and after work hours. During breaks or lunchtime, I can provide quick check-ins or walks if needed. On weekends or days off, I dedicate extended time for play, grooming, and social interaction. Additionally, I use tools like automatic feeders or pet cameras to monitor pets remotely, ensuring their needs are consistently met even during busy workdays. This approach allows me to maintain a reliable routine that keeps pets happy and healthy despite a full-time job. When caring for pets in clients’ homes while working full time, I create a structured schedule that fits both the pet’s needs and my availability. Here’s how I manage it: - Morning Visits: I arrive early to feed pets, let them out for bathroom breaks, and spend some quality time before the owner leaves for work. - Midday Check-ins: If possible, I schedule a midday visit for a walk, playtime, or another bathroom break to keep pets active and comfortable throughout the day. - Evening Visits: After work, I return for feeding, exercise, and companionship, ensuring pets have attention and care during the evening hours. - Communication: I provide daily updates with photos and notes to keep owners informed about their pets’ well-being. - flexibility:For clients with unusual schedules or special needs, I adjust visit times or increase visits on weekends and days off to maintain consistent care. This routine ensures pets receive regular care and companionship in their familiar environment, minimizing stress and maintaining their daily habits even when owners work full time.

About: I have more than 10 years experience working at dog daycares, grooming, and sitting/walking dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I am comfortable with administering medication both orally and injections. I've I am always trying to educate myself and others about reading dog behaviors and the best ways to react to situations. I am an artist by trade so my work hours are very flexible. If I'm sitting in your home, I will stick to your pet's normal routine as closely as possible to give them a sense or normalcy and comfort. My more than 10 years of experience have prepared me for almost any situation. I am a big proponent of safety first especially when it comes to your pets interacting with other animals, escape artists, and counter surfers getting into harmful things.

“Lisa did a flawless job again she showed up perfectly on time took care of our fur baby and everyone was much happier for her visit. We would use her again and again.”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My sister worked at a zoo, so our home was basically a mini-safari—dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and the occasional surprise guest. Growing up around such a wide variety of animals taught me patience, respect, and how to read their personalities. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or a bit of both, I know how to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently a stay at home mom caring for my 6 year old son who is recovering from cancer. This job will allow the flexibility and meet the “out of public” requirement as our family needs to avoid illness while he recovers. Other than a 2-3 hour clinic visit twice a week, I am home and available. I have a fenced in yard back yard and a mostly quiet neighborhood where kids can play in the street safely. I have 2 cats and a rabbit of my own. All 3 are indoor animals with free range of the house. My rabbit has his own little house in our living room that he can safely retreat to when he’s not out for play time. A perfect space for any curious pet visitors we may have as they won’t be able to access him and cause any ruckus. If I am coming to your home, you can expect more than just a quick feed and potty break. Owners leaving can cause anxiety and stress on a pet. I have the time and heart to offer love, playtime, or needed snuggles and comfort your pet might miss while you’re away.

About: I’ve been working as a professional pet sitter and dog walker for over seven years. I’ve been howled at, licked, bitten, pooped and peed on, dragged into a lake, growled at, barked at...and I will always be up for more! I live in Grandville with my two children (18 and 12) who are also animal lovers. We also have a senior Maltese Yorkie Shitzhu mix named Irie, who is a grumpy old man and a ferocious beast (he thinks). I work full-time as a marketing consultant. I love to play with dogs for exercise and as a reminder to not take life so seriously! Sometimes communicating with animals is much easier than communicating with humans! :)

“I would highly recommend Maelee. She has walked Scout multiple times now and is always on time and a great communicator. Plus the cute pictures after the walk are always an added bonus 😊”

About: Animals are incredibly intuitive, and I meet them the same way. I pay close attention to their energy, routines, and cues so they can settle in naturally and feel safe while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a slower, more attentive rhythm. Friends and family consistently trust me with both their homes and their animals, especially when they want someone who notices details and keeps things steady. Feeding routines, energy levels, quirks, favorite spots in the house, and the small behaviors that signal stress or comfort. I stay tuned into what each animal needs so nothing gets missed. My goal is simple: when you return, your pets feel calm, grounded, and well cared for, and your home feels even better than when you left. I approach every stay with reliability, respect, and a steady, attentive presence. When I’m caring for someone’s pets, their routines become a priority in my day. I plan my schedule around feeding times, check-ins, walks, and any special care they need so everything stays consistent and comfortable for them. Reliable structure and calm presence are part of how I work. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible while keeping a steady, comfortable rhythm for everyone. In a client’s home, I maintain consistent feeding times, clean litter or yard areas, refresh water, and keep their space tidy. I pay attention to how pets are feeling and adjust the day in ways that support calm, predictable care. For dog walking, I keep to their usual pace and route when that works well for them, and make thoughtful adjustments when needed to keep things safe, supportive, and manageable for both of us. My goal is always to create a smooth, grounded experience so pets stay relaxed and well cared for while you’re away.

I provide a safe, loving environment with a fenced yard, personalized care, and plenty of daily walks, treats, cuddles, and playtime. I’m also prepared to handle extra needs like crate training, light grooming, and senior care. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own—giving them the attention, patience, and comfort they deserve while you’re away. 🐾 With over 25 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve lovingly cared for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs—as well as cats and bunnies.

About: I’ve always had pets and currently have two goldens and a cat. I absolutely love animals and now that my own human kids are grown I have extra time on my hands and I’d love help you spoil your fur babies. I’m happy to walk them, sit with them, play in the yard or whatever helps them feel loved when you’re not home ❤️ After 15 years as a parapro in a special needs preschool classroom I have recently taken a new position as a Marketing Assistant. I usually work on Tuesday and Wednesday but can have availability on those days in the evening and most of the day on M/T/TH/F and on weekends. I am excited to get to know you and your fur babies! I am unable to care for your pets in my own home right now but am happy to drop in and let yours out to potty, feed them, play fetch or other outdoor games, go for a walk, or just sit and snuggle if that’s what they prefer 😊 I am also comfortable giving medications if need be with instruction and a demonstration from you. I previously had a dog with diabetes and am experienced in giving insulin injections.

“Rebeca has been wonderful with my dog! She takes him on big walks and sends great pictures! Thank you Rebeca!!”

“Kelsey has been a huge help for our family. We got a new pup this summer and as a teacher I was nervous about leaving her at home all day for the first time. Our high energy vizsla girl very much enjoys her 30 minute walk each day with Kelsey. I would recommend her services to my friends and neighbors.”
