Dog Walking in Cherry Run, Grand Rapids, MI

“Ricardo is great with my dogs! His walks burn off that Golden Retriever energy. I highly recommend him.”

About: I’ve had a dog growing up my whole life, I’ve never been bit by a dog or have ever had a negative experience with a dog. I understand that while it is a major part of your family it is still an animal no matter what. I’m not going treat it like a fur baby cuddle toy. They will be loved and cared for. My word. Not working right now, would love to help out during the day and during the week. I am more than happy to accommodate certain times and dates for an agreed amount. My studio apartment is small, I live on a first floor apartment with only one set of stairs to the exit. Also an elevator to the base floor is available without requiring need for steps if necessary.

“Richard was very consistent and reliable and communication was very good. I believe he also genuinely enjoyed spending time with my dog.”

About: I've been surrounded by animals of all kinds since I was a child including family pets and walking/pet-sitting throughout high school for neighbors and family friends. In college, I worked in a veterinary clinic as an assistant to a DVM and gained a great deal of knowledge regarding medical care for dogs and cats. I spent a great deal of time training my family's German Shephard in PSA (protection sport) and general obedience. I currently work in the office most mornings during the week but am available after 1 p.m. most days for drop-in visits and walks full of attention and love. Make a suitable environment - providing your dog with a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. Provide adequate protection from hazards inside and outside of the home. Watching for abnormal behavioral patterns or changes that can indicate illness. And most importantly, supplying unconditional love.

About: I understand how stressful it is leaving your dog or having to board him or her while away. I have experience working with Rover, and I would like to resume providing pet care services. I've been around animals most of my life. I have also cared for the pets of friends and family, including my six-year-old English cream golden retriever, Maxwell. He's friendly and loves playing with other dogs. I would love to be the trusted person to take care of and pamper your pet. Leave your pet with me and we can go for walks, play ball , Frisbee, or just relax. I will provide your dog with a quiet, loving home environment with plenty of attention and care to fit their personality. I am currently home majority of the time to care for your pet. I work three out of the five days per week at home. I am available on weekends. I am in office two days per week. I drive home for Max to to take a break on my lunch hour. I will provide your pet with a quite, safe environment. If boarding your pet I will provide him or her with care that will be tailored to their needs and personality.

“Super sweet & nice, did an awesome job!”

About: Hey! I'm Jason! Nice to meet you! Every dog requires unique love and attention. I will provide a kind and loving home for your dog whether they stay with me or at your house. I will make sure to treat him or her like one of my own, no questions asked! My schedule is very flexible. However, there are certain instances where I may have to step out for a bit and return. If this happens, I will keep you in the loop the entire time. I know how dear our pets can be and will take the best care possible to ensure their safety and well being. Whether it’s a long walk around the park a game of fetch, or naps on the couch you can rest easy knowing that your dog is in good hands!

About: Welcome to Riverside Park! My husband, Nick, and I have both been caring for animals since we were children. As educators, we have the flexibility to meet your pet's needs on your schedule. Whether your pet needs daily check it's, walks, or a place to stay while you're away, we are ready to accommodate! At our home, we have a small yard perfect for potty breaks and tug-o-war. We are also minutes away from the stunning Riverside Park, where our 2-year-old collie/shepherd mix, Fela (female, spayed), loves to get tuckered out on our daily walks. We can't wait to meet you and your pet! Let's find a time to see if it would be a good fit :) We are off for the summer, so we are able to work around your schedule! We are available for daily walks, feeding, check-ins, and boarding. Pick up and drop off available for a small fee. Please let us know ahead of time a little bit about your pet, including any special needs, so we can be prepared to care for them. We want both you and your pet to feel safe and comfortable! We want to respect your space and your pet's needs. For check-ins and walks, if your dog prefers not to have company, our dog Fela does not need to accompany us. However, it is still a good idea to arrange an initial meeting between us, you, and your pet to make sure everyone is comfortable. For boarding, please arrange a time for us and our dogs get introduce to one another to ensure our house is a good fit. You are welcome to come see our home to make sure it is safe for your furry friend, and/or we are happy to meet at the park first if that is more comfortable.

About: I've been around cats and critters my whole life. Right now I have my sweet Torti Twix and Noche, my mama's boy. I recently lost my soul kitty, Bronson, and would love to be surrounded by more kitties again. I used to have a leopard gecko named Pedro, so bring on your scaled friends as well. Rats, buns, whatever you have! I accept ALL dog breeds! Find me on Facebook at Lor's Pet Sitting! I also volunteer at a no-kill shelter called Focus on Ferals. I have experience humanely administering pills/oral medication. *Trained in feline first aid* A drop-in includes: feeding, potty time/litterbox cleaning, playtime, love & cuddles, enrichment activities, medication administration (if needed), light housework (sweeping, trash, counters, etc), and daily updates with photos/videos. Rover is my full-time gig, which means I'm flexible with my schedule. I'm available mainly for overnight cat boarding and cat/dog drop-ins. I'd also love to walk your dog, whether they're big or small (I love them all)! Please inquire about services provided. I accept ALL dog breeds! My specialty is working with shy or skittish kitties. I'm patient enough to get on their level, approach slowly, earn their trust, and let them know I'm a safe person. It's incredibly rewarding work. I'm also a sucker for the elderly pets.

“Very kind to our Senior German Shepherd/Lab Dog who needs a sniff-fest slow walk nowdays and someone to see during a long day. Very reliable for our recurring weekly service. Relieves my mind to know our old girl doggie is well cared for with a visit during the day and not so lonely.”

About: Taken care of all sizes of dogs, from chihuahua puppy to Rottweiler puppy! I’ve had dogs all my life even senior dogs all have been loved and cared for! I’m a 22 y/o girl I have a part-time job that i work every weekend so, pet sitting will only be a fill in for that extra time i don’t work. I also have a 10 month old girl who also loves animals who I would prefer to accompany me since my partner works throughout the week and can’t watch her. Personally with my dogs they’re out to potty every 30 mins-1hr, they are crate trained whenever we’re out for a long period of time. I spend a lot of time when i get home playing with them and giving them tons of affection. They get fed 2 a day, every morning (9am) and evening (5pm) so we definitely work on a schedule but I’ve had different schedules for all my dogs i adopted one of my dogs from the pound when she was 4 months old and she’s a staffordshire terrior and we got our rottie from a girl at the dog park that could no longer take care of her and she was 6 months when we got her they are now almost 3 and 2 years old now!

About: I've had experience caring for pets most of my life, from taking care of family dogs, sitting for friends and family, and caring for my friends cat that I currently live with. I work full time during the week from about 8 am - 4 pm. I work from home Monday and Friday, so I am available during those days to sit, do drop-ins, or take walks. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting during the other week days after my work hours. My weekends are free and my schedule can be planned as you need. I treat all animals as if they are my own or someone's close to me. I love all types of dogs and cats and would be thrilled to get the chance to help you and make sure they're happy and well cared for!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life ranging from all types of breeds. Labs, pitbulls, mutt, small, aussies. My family has foster dogs, rescued and adopted. I work a summer job but it’s off and on so I’m ready to walk some dogs or run when I’m called off from my day job due to cancellation. I’m pretty athletic guy so I’m capable of running or walking a dog until I have to carry it back. It will definitely sleep well.

About: I have 22 years of taking care of dogs from my own to others. Dogs to me are like my kids. It will be an honor and privilege to help with your kids I am retired and enjoy filling my time with taking care of your pet.
