Dog Walkers in DeWitt, MI

About: We offer extensive experience with both cats and dogs throughout their lives. Our qualifications include basic puppy training from Petco, as well as completion of the Delta Therapy Dogs program which utilizes Animal Assisted Activities (AAA) to improve well-being in various settings like hospitals, mental health facilities, and more. Furthermore, we have years of firsthand experience caring for senior dogs, including managing pain, assisting with mobility, administering medications, and dispensing chemotherapy drugs. We want you to know that your pet will have company for the majority of the day. I am a stay-at-home mom, and my husband works from home two days a week. Plus, our kids are excited to spend lots of time playing with your pet. Following the loss of our beloved dog of 18 wonderful years, we're eager to open our hearts and home to your furry family member, and dedicate our time and affection to your pet. Our home includes large, grassy areas perfect for running, and we also enjoy long daily walks around the neighborhood should your pet need extra exercise and outdoor activities.

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life, leading to a controlled comfort when ensuring that they are comfortable. I have several (8 years) of senior care including but not limited to assisting in movement from room to room, post surgery care, and assisting to move them outside. I have watched the dogs and cats of relatives as a go to, leading to me developing several strong relationships from puppy to grown canine over the last 8 years. If your dog needs to be safe for an extended period, I am confident I can follow through on that. Starting in January, I begin Graduate school, and would still be able to on a part time basis be available for your pets’ needs. I prefer an initial meeting before we begin so we can establish a trusting, working basis before beginning, but this can vary depending on the client’s time schedule. I find it helps people/pets feel comfortable if they have met their caretaker beforehand to any degree! As part of some introduction I will always ask about your schedule/medications and routine. I like to be familiar with this to ensure your pet remains comfortable and eats at the same basis/rate that they would normally be used to. If there are extenuating circumstances with your pet I will be sure to mind them while caring for them!

About: Hi neighbors! Since starting Constellation Cat Cafe in 2019, I’ve cared for thousands of rescue cats and helped them find their families. I’m currently accepting new pet sitting clients in the Dewitt area. I'm comfortable working with all ages of cats and dealing with unique situations. I can provide cuddles on the couch, active play time with a bird toy or laser pointer (let me know if you have those or if I should bring my own), brushing or a healthy mix of all of the above. I never met a litter box I couldn't handle. I'm experienced with oral medicine, eye drops, and subcutaneous fluids. Though cats are my area of expertise, I’m also a dog lover and would love to take yours for walks or play fetch in the backyard. I can accommodate most different appointment times between 8 am - 9 pm. Let me know what routine your pets are used to, and we’ll make it work! Please let me know if your pet is outgoing or shy, so I can adjust my energy levels accordingly! I’ll cater my behavior to whatever makes them feel safest, whether that’s tip-toeing around and whispering hello, or proclaiming over and over what a pretty kitty they are while showering them with attention.

About: My name is Kalyn, and I have had dogs and cats my whole life so I have grown up caring for them! I just completed my first year at Michigan State University studying Environmental Science/Zoology. I graduated from Dewitt High School and during my junior year, I spent half of my day at Potter Park Zoo completing the Animal Science and Zoo Management course where I got certified in canine/feline CPR and learned the essentials to care for animals of all kinds! I am currently employed part time but still have plenty of time for your fur babies! I am available afternoons on Mondays, any time on Tuesday-Thursday, and afternoons on the weekends. I am a very dependable carer, as I am very knowledgeable about pet needs. I can perform any tasks asked of me and am more than trustworthy.

About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting for others for 15 years, and grew up on a farm making any and all types of furry friends along the way. I have two dogs of my own, Dante and Olaf who are my whole world. I’d love to help with your fur babies and spoil them as they deserve to be! I currently am furry friends 24/7! I’m a stay at home dog mom, and am more than happy to help out with your fur babies whenever needed :) I pride myself on the fact that I treat each and every furry friend as if they were my own baby! Always staying mindful of surroundings, making sure they have food/water, are comfortable and playing to their hearts desires. I’m happy to follow any routines and/guidelines you may have to make it the most comfortable for you and your baby!

About: Hi my name is Peyton and I’m a 20 year old nursing student at Michigan State University. I have grown up with multiple dogs and a cat, so caring for animals is second nature to me. I’ve spent my whole life around pets and understand how important it is to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable—especially when you’re away. I’m confident with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra care. Whether it's walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own. I will also send lots of pictures of your babies and keep you updated:) Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I’ve always had pets, feeding, walking, playing, and spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy and make time for every day. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets the attention they need—whether it’s regular walks, sticking to a routine, or just being there to keep them company. Caring for animals doesn’t feel like a chore to me, it’s something I genuinely love doing. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping everything as normal and comfortable for them as possible. I follow your routines closely—whether it’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or any special care instructions. I know how important it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment, so I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well-loved while you’re away. I also keep your home tidy and treat it with the same respect I give to your pet.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was in college, providing care mostly to dogs and cats, including dog walks, playtime, administering medicine and medical care (including daily shots) to both dogs and cats. Friends and acquaintances have relied on me to care for their pets for up to six months at a time. I work from home and have a fairly open schedule so I’m available to stay in your home or visit your home and pets during the day and can keep them company during the workday as well as on the weekends. I care for pets as though they are my own and have had experience caring for pets on very strict schedules. I honor your wishes in how you want and need for your pet to be loved while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of cats my entire life. At home we currently have a geriatric kitty who requires prompt medication and regular cleanings of her cage. I have watched my friends’, neighbors’, and family’s dogs over numerous years. Though not animals, I also have 7 years of experience babysitting kids! I’m currently working full-time at McLaren Greater Lansing, and while furthering my career in the surgical field, I’m looking to pursue other passions on the side, like animals! I work 3 days a week at the hospital, and am free Mondays and Wednesdays, as well as some weekends, to check in and ensure your animals are kept safe, busy, and have full tummies! I will treat each owner’s home with respect and dignity. If your animal makes a mess, I have no problem cleaning it up! Privacy is important; I’m there for one reason only: checking in on your furbabies and making sure they are safe and fed!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have raised multiple from the puppy stage. I have a 6 year old lab named Lacie, whom I raised. Would love to watch your babies too. Currently, I am working part time and enrolled in school full time remotely. Making my schedule pretty open to be home with my dog and yours! I would prefer to care for your pet in your home, however, I am open to sitting at my house after a pet meet and greet with my dog, Lacie.

About: Hello I’m back now, I started watching dogs and then I went back to work full time so it got to be to much but I’m now retired. I am available most anytime to care for your pet, I believe animals can sense if you like them or if you’re a good person, I truly believe they have a keen sense of this. I’ve had animals most of my life, I’ve always wanted to rescue animals from abusive people and harmful situations, it’s my dream to one day have a farm where I can take in any pet and care for them!. I’m actively looking for property now. Animals need love and affection, I will provide this as your animal care taker just like he/she was my own. I would love to meet you and your animal family! I am now retired and available just about anytime to look after your pet, ,if it’s last minute or a week in advance, sometimes things pop up and you need someone right away, I say in my bio that I need 2 days but I’ll most likely be able to take pets in immediately if you just contact me. I have a fully fenced in back yard in a quiet neighborhood that’s very secure, I can also crate your dog if you wish providing you bring the crate! We can talk about any questions or concerns you may have, I’m available to come to you also and drop in and spend 30 minutes or the night, whatever works best for your situation! I’ll always have the best interest of your animal first!

“Absolutely fantastic! Lori was incredibly sweet and patient with both me and my dog. A wonderful dog walker and a wonderful person. I will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you.”

About: I’ve lived with cats my entire life including 2 currently(Bubbles and Popsicle), and had a dog(English pointer) for 11 years before he passed away. I adore animals and wish I could have more of my own. Since that’s not an option, I’d love to get my fill of animals by helping you with yours! I enjoy taking walks and would love to have a companion from time to time. I work a full time job on a hybrid schedule, and I often work from home with some flexibility in how my days run. I do not work on weekends, and most weekends are also pretty flexible. I will care for your pets the same way I care for mine. With love and compassion, offering attention to meet their needs. I view pets as members of the family and as a mom and pet owner I understand that each child (and fur child) is individual and unique and special.

“Honestly the best dog walker! Always takes care of my kiddos and is so sweet. She came to meet them before the first walk to make sure they were a good match and she was perfect!”

Gavi W.

“Zakaria was wonderful with Finn. We did a meet and greet and Finn really loved her. I needed her to walk him on a day I was gone longer than usual. She had great communication and sent pictures of Finn. He seemed very happy when I got home.”

About: I have owned many kinds of pets throughout my life, and have house and animal sat on many ocassions (cats and dogs of all sizes). I would love nothing more than to make your life a little easier and comfort your animals while you are away :). I am currently off of in person classes, so I am available all week and all day for care. I am not able to care for dogs in my home, but I have reliable transportation. Please note that I may have to leave your pet occasionally during extended stays due to prior commitments or errands. Your pet will never be left longer than it states they can be alone on their profiles. I love playing with, walking, and loving on animals, but am down for a lazy evening too. I have no issues with any breed, size, or age, and will care for your animals just like you would.

About: I have taken care of many pets over the years from dogs, cats, rabbits and to even birds too, as well as caring for their baby versions too. Including recent experience in helping with a whelping of a litter of Doberman pups. I love going on walking and love it even more having a furry companion tagging along with me, I walk them rain or shine. I'm currently available to fit in pet care into my schedule as it arrives. I am open to everything but boarding right now,so house sitting, drop-in visits, doggy day care, and walks only at this time. My availability is currently open from weekdays to weekends being mornings or evenings. I care for pets as owners request, changes will be made only when pets behavior requires it. I live in an pet friendly apartment complex where your pet will be allowed to roam inside my home and have toys to chew and play with. They will have plenty of exercise according to the amount of time they are left in my care. I also like to send updates to pet owners being pictures and texts of their pet during their time my care.

About: I have been around mid sized and large dogs since I can remember. I have always been the person friends and family call to houses sit and watch pets. My day job is teaching, so I am looking to fill some time over the summer. Because of the summer breaks, I am very flexible. I strive to be respectful of any space I enter. My goal is always to leave the space the same way or better that I entered it.

About: I have owned dogs my whole life and more recently cats. I have experience with multiple breeds of dogs, both rescue and bread dogs, and different types of harnesses. I have been dog sitting and walking for six years now for varying amounts of time. I am a college student so my schedule is dependent on my classes and my on-campus job, but I can make my schedule fit around any pet care! needs. I have two dogs of my own so I would be coming to the client's house to care for their pet. For specific rules and training, I would discuss a plan with the owners as to be consistent.
