Dog Walking Cutlerville

About: I genuinely care about the animals I work with. I treat every pet like they’re my own, not just a job. I pay attention to the little things—like their energy level, habits, and comfort—and I make sure they feel loved and stress-free while you’re away. I have a structured weekly routine that includes dedicated time for pet care—feeding, exercise, and general upkeep. I’m used to balancing those responsibilities alongside my work schedule, so it’s something I manage consistently and reliably. I will follow your specific guidelines and rules to keep your pet safe and happy. I will treat them as if they are my own by giving them attention and love. I will model their normal routine, monitor their behavior for any signs of stress or illness, and making sure their environment is safe. I’m also careful about things like food restrictions, allergies, and making sure they don’t get into anything harmful. Communication is big for me, so I always keep the owner updated.

“Dawnn is so nice! She came short notice to meet us a few days before Mazie’s walk. My dog immediately loves her! She sent pics and an update during the walk. Would love to book again if there is a need!”

About: I’ve had all sorts of pets growing up but I have the most experience with dogs and cats. I’ve been around many different dogs with all sorts of training and personalities. I have two dogs that we got when they were puppies and I helped train them. I taught them all sorts of things like the basics but also secret hand shakes and hand signals. I currently work full time and my hours vary. Sometimes I am available any time after 3 pm or any time before 12 am. But my schedule is completely free on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I care for pets by sticking to their feeding schedule, spread out times of play/interaction, walks, grooming, bathing, and light training. I do think it’s very important to make sure dogs are socialized with people and other dogs if able to. And for cats i know it is especially important to have activities for them or interactive play time to decrease the chance of boredom.

About: I've had dogs in my home all my life. I have experience caring for a variety of breeds and sizes. I love dogs and will care for each one with whatever is needed. I'm not afraid to try something new. I create stories and share them with others. Whether it's through my YouTube channel or publishing books, I enjoy stories. I may even read to my pets my stories or other stories just for fun! I have a fenced yard, and currently have two puppies (about 1 year) that are staying for now. We have a dog crate, so I can move them around as needed. We're hoping to get a puppy of our own again when these young ones move out. I do have vision and hearing issues, which can result in some trouble seeing or balance issues. I can handle big dogs, but smaller is naturally easier.

About: I grew up around dogs and now have two cats! My love for animals began when I was three years old and my mom brought home our first family dog, Blossom. Over the past twenty years, we have been lucky to know and love seven dogs and know how to provide proper care. I am no stranger to giving pets medicine, senior care, or puppy care. As an adult, I welcomed my first cat, Corn, into my life. From there, I adopted two other sweet cats named Barry and Bert who are a loving and goofy addition to our home. I am a high school history teacher out for the summer! I know how important it is to keep your pets' schedules; they have needs that need to me met, too! I am happy to work with your schedule and I am flexible with dates and times when needed. Should you trust me with your pet, I will provide them with the most comfort possible! It isn't easy when we have to leave our pets, so I am happy to provide any photo updates during our visits and daily feedback on how your pet is doing! Should you choose to board your cat with us, they will have their own separate suite to decompress, relax, and unwind while you are gone!

“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 grew up around a lot of animals and learned from a young age how to properly care for chickens, dogs, frogs, fish, cats, bunnies, and rats. I enjoy the company of pets and have never had a pet not enjoy my company. I have a very open schedule as I have graduated and am taking some time off from school. I will be available all day everyday unless I have an errand to run or family plans. I care for pets in clients home in the exact way they see fit, I find all pets are different and have their own quirks, it’s important to know what those are and care for the pet accordingly

“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 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. 🐾

“Madison is reliable and clearly cares about animals! She asked all the right questions and gave Murphy the exercise he needed. Definitely recommend.”

“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.”

Sarah R.

“My old pup can be anxious and ramped up with care givers so I am delighted that he was calm with Tyler. I will definitely have Tyler take care of my fur babe again knowing I can depend on him and will not be stressed while on vacation.”
