Dog Walkers in Elk Rapids, MI

“Kara was amazing when I needed a last minute dog walker. She came everyday on time and communicated when she picked Moose up and dropped him off. She even wrote notes about the walk! I could not have found a better/sweeter friend for Moose that week! Thank you Kara!”

“This was the third time we booked Breezy and, once again, she did a fantastic job. Our pets (a dog and a cat) are always so happy to see her and rush to greet her when she stops in for their drop in. We are so fortunate to have found such a responsible, dependable caregiver!”

“Hannah was great! She came to walk Parker on short notice and took great care to follow instructions and he really liked her! Using Hannah again tonight!”

“Grace is very caring and warm to all pets. She has a dog of her own and is very loving. She is college student now but her dog is always so happy to see her when she comes home. She has volunteered at an area pet shelter and is very committed to kindness to pets. She is athletic and strong. She has done pet sitting and is very caring with good attention to detail.”

“Hello! I have known Bernice quite literally her whole life, and have always known her to be a pet lover. Her whole family, actually. They have dogs and guinea pigs, a rabbit, a hamster, snakes, lizards, big ole fish, and sugar gliders! Whenever I go out of town for extended periods I leave my pet rats with Bernice, and I don't have to think about their safety or care whatsoever when they are with her. They always come back to me happy and healthy! She is loving, kind, understanding, patient, driven, with not only animals but people as well. I don't think you'd be able to find a better person to help care for pets! I incredibly highly recommend her and have 100% trust and faith in her to take care of these pets as if they were her own.”

“Laurel's communication and time management is phenomenal. She is always willing to work to make you and your puppy happy. Laurel is incredibly attentive and responsible. 10/10 would recommend her!!”

“Shannon is incredible! She is super patient with our pup, who needs an extra minute to greet people. She also is great at keeping him entertained with good play for his rambunctious personality and gives him lots of exercise. She's very flexible with our schedule, trustworthy in our home, and always goes the extra mile. Sometimes I think our pup likes her more than us! I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Ashley was a great dog walker! She took our brood of three doodles out on a long walk while we were away for the day. Wrangling three dogs is not an easy task and she made it look effortless. She sent along some videos along the way so we knew all was well! Highly recommend her!!!!”

“Riley is an outstanding pet and house watcher. We have had her watch our 3 dogs and 2 cats on several occasions, for up to 2-3 weeks. She loves them and they love her. She send pictures and updates, walks them, feeds them and takes special care of them. Our redbone coonhound has epilepsy and requires medication 4 times a day - that was not problem for Riley. Super responsible and just a great person. We and our pets couldn't provide a higher recommendation for her!”

“Jonathan. So professional efficient on time loving and gentle with our Jayda. Jonathan is my Number 1 choice in the future. It was a pleasure and also calming to know Jonathan was taking care of our baby!! He left us notes on their walk and how Jayda enjoyed them! Thank you Jonathan!”

“I can't say enough great things about Lorretta and the care she provides for my dog. Like many pet owners, my dog means the world to me, and it takes a lot for me to trust someone with them. Lorretta cares for my dog as if he were her own. She is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. She is very flexible and reliable and has made my life much easier. It has been very simple to schedule with her, and she provides very personalized care- easy to reach and gives updates after her visits. It has been a pleasure having Lorretta care for our dog, I highly recommend Lorretta to anyone looking for a dog walking service.”

About: Cat person for life. I currently have four, as well as an Australian shepherd. I used to travel a lot for work, so I understand how stressful it can be making sure the four legged babies have everything they need when away. I’m here to help any way I can, whether it’s giving a medication or helping with the potty stuff! I recently left a demanding corporate job and currently am very flexible, morning, evening, during the week or on the weekend works great for me! I would care for the pet as instructed by the owner. I understand all animals have their own personality and preferences and their owners know best. I also want the owners to feel comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands while they cannot be home!

“Always on time! Available for last minute walks. Very reliable.”

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I have not always had a living situation where I was able to have my own pets, and my friends and family relied on me to care for their animals when they went on holiday. I have experience with special needs dogs, and I currently have a senior dog who needs oral medication, eye/ear drops, and other allergy-related care. I have a part-time job as a private tutor for math/science, which happens after school most days. This provides me a flexible schedule allowing for multiple drop-in visits per day for feeding/playtime/outside time for your pet(s). I am a responsible middle-aged adult, entrusted to care for students in a classroom for the last 25 years. I will treat your home and your pet(s) with the same respect I have given to my school/students, making sure that when you return, your home is clean and in the same condition you left it. I am familiar with how to use security systems, and I will take proper precautions with locking doors, windows, etc.

About: I’d love to help by letting your dog out or taking them for a walk while you are away. I also feed cats and other pets. I love being outdoors and having 2 dogs myself they are so fun to be around I’m available on weekends to let your dogs out or take them for quick walks or check in the cats and feed them. We know how hard it is to get someone to do these services so we figured we’d offer it up on weekends. We take our two dogs for daily walks l, volunteer at the Humane Society, and have been taking care of pets since I was a kid.

“You could not go wrong choosing Jess to help care for your sweet pets! She loves going for walks with dogs and makes sure they are safe and happy the entire time. My sweet Lucy could walk for hours. Jess never hesitated taking the long way to Lucy’s favorite tree or a detour to the lake for a quick drink and a little rest. I highly recommend Jessica because she truly cares about every pet she meets as soon as they lock eyes. She will go above and beyond to ensure you and your four legged kiddo are happy after each visit!”

“Catherine was great. She was responsive and had clear communication about timelines. Brady loved her walks. Would book again!”

About: I am and always have been an avid pet lover, so I will treat your baby with the love he/she deserves. I’m skilled in bathing dogs if that’s ever needed. I’m also very good with puppies, and relatively good with senior pets and giving them the love they need. I work part-time at Wendy’s on Division at varying times, so we will have to discuss when I can walk if you live in Traverse City. I will always be able to sit though. I’m respectful of the surroundings of the animal, and I will make sure they are comfortable around me, as well as the human that loves them.

“Chelsie was great! Would definitely recommend her.”

“She has a wonderful personality! Very loving a caring when it comes to people and pets. Always loves to be active and involved with dogs and cats alike! I’ve known sonya for some time and I can honestly say I have the upmost confidence in leaving my pets in her care!”
