Dog Walkers in Cadillac, MI

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and even had a cat of my own, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m currently studying to become a veterinary technician, and I bring both compassion and knowledge to every pet I care for. I’ve pet-sat many dogs and cats for family and friends over the years and have hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities—including some large animals. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with special medical, dietary, or behavioral needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or quiet snuggles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give every animal the same care and attention I give my own—reliable, compassionate, and always full of tail-wagging fun! I’m currently a veterinary technology student in Cadillac MI, so I’m away for school part of the week, but I’m more than happy to commute if needed! I’m available most weekends and some weekdays for drop-ins or overnight care in Mio MI and the surrounding areas and dog walking or drop-ins most weekdays in Cadillac MI and the surrounding areas! If you are located in the one of the surrounding areas and it looks like you are out of my service range, please reach out to me and I would be more than happy to work something out with you and your furry friends! I’m flexible and always do my best to work around your pet’s schedule. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I’ll make sure your pet gets the care, love, and attention they deserve while you’re away. Safety and comfort always come first when I’m caring for pets—whether it’s in my home or yours. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. In your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care that I give your pet, keeping things clean, calm, and consistent with their usual routine. I’m experienced in handling pets of all temperaments and am confident with basic first aid and medication administration from my vet tech training. When pets stay with me, they’ll get a calm, cozy, and supervised environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and tail-wagging fun. My goal is always to create a safe, happy space where pets can relax and owners can have complete peace of mind.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats myself. I have long-time experience taking care of family's and friend's dogs and cats. I connect well with almost all animals! I have my own 2 little kitty babies :) I just finished grad school, and I love lots of break times to spend with precious pets - sitting, daily walks and check-ins. I am available and very flexible and I am more than willing to work with any of your pet needs. I can easily give daily runs and walks in the area parks. Your cute pups might need to get their wiggles out or get some fresh air. I have family members who also adore dogs and cats!

About: ’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals for many years. Since around age 12, I’ve regularly helped care for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. During that time I’ve provided feeding, walking, bathing, pet sitting, playtime, and general daily care. I also have experience helping with basic training and working with dogs who were preparing for adoption, which helped me learn how to work with different personalities, energy levels, and comfort needs. Most recently, I’ve been volunteering at a local animal shelter for over 4 months. In this role, I assist with a variety of responsibilities including walking dogs, bathing, playtime and enrichment, administering medications when needed, transporting animals, and helping with overall animal care at the shelter. Working with animals in both home and shelter environments has given me experience with pets of different temperaments, and I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always do my best to provide reliable, attentive care. If you’re looking for someone dependable who genuinely cares about animals, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I’m currently in an on call sort of situation, so my schedule is very flexible! I ask that we at least get a few days advance notice due to a fluctuating schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. Through my experience caring for pets and volunteering at a local animal shelter, I’ve worked with animals of many different temperaments and understand the importance of patience, awareness, and safe handling. I always make sure pets are secure on walks, monitored during playtime, and given plenty of attention and care. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have for feeding, medications, routines, or training. I believe communication is very important, so I’m glad to send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have been around animals since a very young age. I grew up having to care for my dogs, cats, horses, cows, and sheep! I participated in 4-H for 10 years showing both cattle and sheep. Throughout high school and college I worked at a doggy day care, that cared for both cats and dogs, either for day visits or overnight stays. I was responsible for making sure the animals were as comfortable as possible. This involved cleaning their kennels daily, feeding, and medications. Later, I worked as a veterinary assistant for 6 months. I have house/dog and cat sat for various friends and family members throughout the years as well. I am very flexible! I am more than happy to stay at your home while pet sitting or simply come by to care for the pet a couple times a day. Open to working with you to figure out the best solution for your pet. Unfortunately my current lease does not allow pets. I am more than happy to work with you and figure out a schedule/plan that would fit your needs! While I am at a clients house I would stay in good communication with them. In the past, I have sent daily pet photos to the client and sending them updates whenever possible.

“Erin did a fantastic job with our puppy while her availability aligned! Highly recommend.”
