Dog Walkers in Elba, MI

About: I’ve always had a strong love for animals and experience caring for pets with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I currently own a German Shepherd/Poodle mix and a Maltese/Yorkie, so I’m very comfortable handling both high-energy dogs and smaller breeds that need extra attention and care. Caring for my own dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like family. I understand that every animal has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel loved and cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced in walking, feeding on schedule, providing playtime, administering basic care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m also comfortable with puppies that need extra patience and energy, as well as with older dogs that may need a calmer, gentler approach. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own dogs. I’m used to maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention and care they need throughout the day. Since I’m organized and good at managing my time, I’m flexible and dependable for drop-in visits or walks during the week! I enjoy staying active, so taking dogs on walks or spending time playing with them is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s sticking to a pet’s normal routine or giving extra attention when needed, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand how important routines are for pets, so I make sure to follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I also pay close attention to a pet’s behavior and comfort level to help reduce stress while their owner is away. I have experience caring for both large and small dogs through my own pets, a German Shepherd/Poodle mix and a Maltese/Yorkie, so I’m comfortable handling different energy levels and personalities. I keep environments clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always prioritize safety during walks, outdoor time, and interactions. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and give owners peace of mind, knowing their pets are in caring, dependable hands.

“Hunter has been amazing with our Basset, Winry. I know she looks forward to their walks everyday. He goes above and beyond. He’s even gotten her to socialize with other dogs! We are forever grateful for Hunter. 10 out of 10 recommend.”

About: I have pet sat in my home and drop by visits of, dogs, cats, lizards, and fish for the past 8 or so years for money and have owned pets my whole life. I have watch anywhere from 1 to 7 dogs at a time and have multiple cats at one time. If I am doing drop by visits I perfer spend about 1 hour or more at the house each visit. During this time I will feed, water, let animals use bathroom, clean any and all messes inside and outside of the home, and play inside and/or outside with the pet. I take pictures for each visit of the pets as well as send a synopsis of the visit to the pet owner upon request. The day of or prior to the owner returning, I can sweep and mop the main living area or vacuum especiallyif it has been wet outside. If you let me know where bathing and brushing equipment is, I am also willing to wash and brush any and all pets prior to the pet owner coming home. This way the owner can come home and enjoy time with their pet rather than cleaning. I am a military veteran who is taking time off my job as a veterinary assistant to help care for alling family member. Due to my experience with military I am very time oriented and organized, but can function well in crazy environments as well. In addition to that with my experience of working in the veterinary field I am well adapt to give medication and handle medical emergencies with animals. This being said if I notice a medical issue with your pet I will take it to be seen, but will notify you prior to taking them. I personally have a diabetic cat, so I am also comfortable with giving injections and taking blood glucose reading from pets. I also have experience giving fluids under the skin if the animal is in renal failure or for any other reason. I am comfortable giving pills to animals that need medication in that form as well. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I am able to visit your home at any time with the exception of 7 am to 8 am and 7 pm to 8 pm when I need to feed and medicate my own diabetic cat. If there is a time I am unable to visit due to care of my family I will let you know prior to our booking. Dogs will go on daily walks around the neighborhood to relieve any pent up energy and/or have yard time if you have a fenced in yard. All pets will receive lots of pets, love, and play time from myself.

About: I have 21 years of comfortability around pets (since I was born) and 3 years of professional pet sitting experience with both dogs & cats :). I have experience with senior pets & puppies! I work part time but my shifts are usually less than 8 hours. **if your pet cannot be left alone for 6-8 hours please give me ideally a month of notice so I can adjust my work schedule to fit their needs.** I am available every day of the week and update my calendar constantly! I treat my pets with love, care, and as a part of my family! I would do the same with your pets to make them feel as safe and at home as possible.

“Jess was such a wonderful pet sitter. From the first time I requested a meet and greet she was incredibly responsive. She was so patient with our skittish pup and very understanding when we had to reschedule when my daughter got sick. She went above and beyond making sure the dogs and house were well taken care of. All her efforts were noticed and very much appreciated. Thanks again Jess!”

About: I have been a volunteer at Paradise Animal Rescue for over a year, with a focus on caring for the kittens and cats. I have 3 cats of my own and grew up with cats and dogs. One of our cats is a senior and two of them require special care after having dental surgeries, so it's no problem if yours needs special attention. I regularly dogsit for a friend who has a Great Pyrenees, Leo. I work part time and remotely, with a very flexible schedule, so I am able to accommodate for just about anything you and you furbaby need. I will treat your pet(s) as though they are my own. Every visit to your home, I will follow all of your instructions to a T and give your pet(s) all of my love and attention.

About: Over the past years, I've been a dog mom to Kira, a German Shepherd, Lady, an Australian Cattle Dog, and Gaia, an Australian Cattle Dog. I loved them all very much, and took very good care of them. I welcome the opportunity to get to know your dog, and shower them with love and affection. I like to walk, to play, and to cuddle. I have experience with senior dogs. I'm available 7 days a week, from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.. I'm available with one day's notice for established customers for a walk or drop-in visit. We need to allow time for a complementary "meet and greet," and then if I'm a good fit for your pet, we can schedule walks and visits. I will settle in with your fur baby, and learn the lay of the land in the house and yard if we are at your house. We'll have some treats (if appropriate) and go out for potty, walk, and play. Then we'll rest and cuddle.

“Victoria was timely and prompt with walking our dogs. Very reliable and friendly.”

About: I was grew up on a farm and have spent most of my life with animals. I worked at a local vet clinic in high school, trained horses and I have worked in rescue. My family always had at least one dog for as long as I can remember. I got my first Border Collie, Dexter, when I was thirteen. Dex and I did everything together and he's the one who made me fall in love with Border Collies and all things dog related. I have been training, showing and breeding for nearly 23 years. The dogs I have now are involved in disc, agility, dock diving, obedience and herding. I enjoy all animals but dogs and horses will always have a special place in my heart because so much of my life has been spent with them. My hours are generally very flexible and I am available whenever best suits you and your pets needs. Most of free time is spent with my dogs or with clients. I'm not watching pets at my home right now because my oldest dog doesn't like strangers and I don't want to upset him if I don't have to. *Currently rewriting my profile please excuse the chaos*

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and a natural instinct for taking care of them. I’ve pet sat my uncle’s dog several times, making sure they were walked, fed, and felt at home while he was away.
