Dog Walkers in Fremont, MI

“Karen is amazing. She walks our large dog twice a week. She has been an amazing help and it would be hard to find anyone else that does a better job. We definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve always had dogs and love caring for animals. I lost my beloved dog and I miss her wildly. Spending time with dogs allows me to honor that bond and brings me genuine joy; I truly enjoy getting to know each animal unique personality. I treat every animal woth the same kindness, patience and love I gave to my own dog. I have a very flexible schedule and I can give pets the attention, supervision and companionship they deserve 24/7! I don’t work so I’m completely free to take care of your fur babies. We travel extensively in our motorhome, but we are based in Michigan. Our Michigan home has an acre of woods for the dog to enjoy. There are no roads nearby and it is very safe and quiet.

About: My daughter and I are dog sitting for two reasons -- we flat out love dogs and my daughter is saving for college. While supporting my daughter's entrepreneurial spirit your dog will get a vacation of a lifetime. Without getting too deep into my resume, here are some highlights: -Handled five police dogs. 1000's of deployments. -Master Trainer for the International Police Work Dog Association. -Developed and taught a unique dog safety program. Have presented the hands on program from everyone to 1000's of second graders to regional UPS drivers. -Recognized expert witness in court on dog tracking, aggression, training, and deployment. -Over 75 nationally published articles on dog obedience, housing, behavior, training, etc. -Tested, certified, and trained working dogs from nearly all 50 states and several countries. (This year I've had dog teams travel to my home from Montana, Florida, Iowa, etc for assistance). I do all this because I simply love interacting with dogs. The love has spread to my 13 year old daughter. I currently have a very fun, young, and goofy dog -- a Vizsla named "Ranger." He clearly isn't a working dog and isn't a picture of obedience perfection. (I only mention this to let you know that despite my resume your dog doesn't have to be perfect and is coming into a very fun and loving household!) We've truly been a dog centered household for 20 years. My wife is a literal Saint! My private dog training rates, and I've turned down much more work than I've accepted, runs 10x the Rover.com rate we are charging. This is truly a venture that partners up youth business and the love of dogs. Long live Capitalism, dogs, and the USA!

“She was very nice and was very helpful to Splash. He seemed very excited to see her and was very upset when she left. She was very nice and welcomed my dog in open arms!”

“We love having Kristen help us out with our dog Mae. She follows instructions perfectly and has helped us a lot with reinforcing training commands. Kristen is super punctual and we always know we can count on her 100%. It is obvious how much she really loves caring for your pet too. I would highly recommend her (and I have)!”

“Gabby was very sweet and kind. My dog lilly came home and just relaxed. I was hesitanted on letting a stranger walk my dog because she is apart of the family. I was glad I took the lep. I am recovering from surgery so unable to walk a 60+ pound dog. I highly recommend her.”

“Taylor was amazing! Yesterday was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous about my pup being home alone... Taylor called me at work (per my request) so that I could go over how to get into my house, etc. and she calmed my nerves too :) when she got there, he had tore up his mattress pad in his kennel- she cleaned it up so that he couldn’t eat it. She then walked him, took pictures for me and played with him enough to tire him out for a bit. She was so good with him anc it was so appreciated! ❤️❤️”

“Alaina is a great communicator, kind and excited to spend time with our dog. She even took her out in the rain for a walk. If you book her you won't regret it.”

About: I have had a dog since I was 3 years old. I have dog sat for a variety of people back in Montana and in Michigan. I'm super excited to meet new people and dogs! I also get along with other animals as well. Growing up I had pigs, chickens, horses, and a dog. I have dog sat for other families since I was 13 and have been dog walking since I was 10 just for neighbor dogs. I have dog sat a three month old puppy for 3 months while his mom went out of the country. My schedule is pretty open and flexible. If you need to know anything else just let me know I'm glad to answer any questions. I love me some doggy time 😊😊 I am currently working full time first shift but outside of that I can spend as much time as need with the pets. I can also extend my lunches to check on them during my lunch as well. I can ensure your dog will be safe while you are away and worry free. I like to send lots of pictures and updates of how they are doing!

About: I have had pets my entire life. I knew very young that I wanted to work with animals. I have a great love and compassion for them. I will take great care of your babies! I have a lot of experience caring and working with dogs. I have hobby farm experience (dogs, cats, chickens and a horse) as well. I am a Licensed Veterinary Nurse, therefore, I am educated in many aspects of caring for your pet. I know what to look for in case of illness, injury, etc. I can also do some other tasks, like toe nail trims, ear cleanings, etc. I am a dependable, trustworthy person who knows how important your pets are to you. I look forward to caring for your pets and/or walking your dog.

About: I live and am registered on this app in Twin Lake, MI so I will show up in that radius of search, but have places to stay near Spring Lake, MI, Zeeland, MI and Coloma, MI and can help out in those areas as well. If you know anyone in these areas who needs pet watching feel free to connect them with me. All prices listed can be negotiated by either me or clients upon confirming more details (distance to home, time of stay, ease of pet care, amount of pets, etc.) none of the listed prices are fixed but keep in mind they are an average charge. "Nightly" charge includes a "full day & full night" charge. If you wish for only a "full day" or only a "full night" of in-home stay at your home, the price will be $65. My home is not publicly available but the option isn't completely off-limits; we can discuss the possibility if it's absolutely preferred/necessary for you/your pet(s). I have access to 70+ acres of land in the family for safe dog running, including the option for guarded dog socialization at the house, if you allow. I know a bit of the surrounding areas and go on lots of outdoor adventures (river fishing, lake fishing at our Baldwin cabin, ice fishing (our Baldwin cabin & other locations), mushroom hunting, general hiking, outdoor workouts and jogging, etc...) and would love to have your pet experience these exciting trips with me, depending on your comfort. I volunteered at Howling Timbers Animal Sanctuary in Muskegon and had the opportunity to interact with many wolf-dogs, general farm animals, and other wild animals that were rescued. One of the wolf-dogs, named Bear, was particularly picky & known to have been violent with other workers but warmed up to me well on my second day working and I had no issues with him. I've always had a dog growing up, limited to one 40-60 pound at a time. I owned my own German Shepherd/Labrador mix for about a year but the dog stayed with my ex when splitting in 2016. I've been caring for my own pets at home (including cats & fish), as well as spending time with friend's & family's pets (including birds and a variety of your basic farm animals) since I can remember. 26 years of watching Cesar Millan and Crocodile Hunter with my family & living with & encountering several animals has instilled in me the skill to properly love and care for your pet. My boyfriend of 7 years (Tom Wall) grew up on a deer farm with multiple dogs constantly around as well, so if you are away or the vet is unreachable he has professional skills to assist, only if you allow. I also have close friends that are vet techs and can be reached for emergencies if necessary. As well, Tom had a blind senior Jack Russel who took oral medicine by syringe, and I've worked with similar needs on past dogs. I tend to be more strict when it comes to training dogs in certain areas (jumping up on people, obsessive/constant barking, leash tugging/distracted wandering, coming when called, biting, aggressive behavior while playing or eating, etc.) but have a very lenient heart for snugs on the couch, snackies, and socializing with other people/animals. This is all adjusted to however you allow as long as it's safe for all involved. If sitting for a puppy, I am willing and able to train for basic commands (sit, stay, lay down, gentle, etc.) all dependent on what you as the owner re comfortable with. The reality is, I do not currently have any pets because my boyfriend & I are not home often enough and understand fully that just our love and adoration alone isn't enough to provide a full, quality life for a pet. We need to be able to dedicate hours each day to outdoor time and genuine training and bonding, but right now we just don't have those resources for our own pets. Until the day we are both available enough to fully care for an animal, I will spend as much time with friend's pets, family's pets, neighbor's pets, or catch a request on here and meet a new pup. Every experience I get with someone else's pets helps train me for the future I am eagerly awaiting. I can guarantee I already love your pet and want you to know you are always leaving them with an honest, knowledgable and responsible sitter so they will be safe and content while you are out. Any mile over 15 from my staying place (in any city location) I ask to add $0.50/mile to cover the gas, travel time, and a little extra wear on my vehicle. That includes travel to/from your house *for each drop-in visit*, and each all-day visit will be a one-time to/from travel cost. (example: you live 20 miles away and need me to drop-in twice, this will be a drop-in charge + $10 for extra gas to & from, while an all-day visit will be all-day charge + $5 for gas charge.) If I will already be in the area for some reason (perhaps another client) I will not charge this extra gas fee. I am already an active person who travels often so being able to pass through an area while travelling & get in a quick walk with a dog or drive out & stay a few days with a pet is something so regular for me. Caring for a pet in a client's home will go as to detail as the owner requests as possible. I want to be sure to care for their pets the same way they would, or better, if possible, and leave their home looking as though I was never around. If I offer care in my home (currently unavailable) the pet would be a big part of my & my boyfriend's regular outdoor adventures (if owner allows) and may even meet & socialize with multiple other pets (if owner allows). I have flexible jobs and am able to provide ample attention to your pet that is required. I jog regularly and I will enjoy bringing your dog with me on the nearby trails. I do not have my house publicly open to sitting at my house. If you absolutely need your pet to be watched outside of your home, we can discuss the details when the time comes.

“We’ve utilized Rish for both training and dog walking in our neighborhood. Great having someone we can trust, who handles our big, hyper, naughty boy so well. Our Z loves her!”

About: Hi! Thanks for looking at my profile - I hope to meet your fur baby! I have taken care of a variety of animals in the past and will always jump at the opportunity. I’m comfortable with all animals… except spiders. I’m trusted by many of my friends and family to bathe, feed, walk, play with, and care for their pet. You can be sure that your animals will be treated with as much love and care as you would give them yourself! I am happy to be on my Rover journey and can't wait to meet some new furry faces! I am able to walk your pet or check on them between 9am-3pm Sunday-Thursday. Some days I may be free all day! Let’s chat :) While I am looking after your pet, they will be my number one priority! Being a new face, I will give them their space until they warm up to me, if needed. I know all dogs are different and need different levels of care. I am here to make sure your pet is comfortable and in great hands!

“Very responsive to my request.”

About: I’ve grown up around all different kinds of animals and cannot imagine a life without them! I have had years of experience caring for all different types and breeds. I have been pet sitting for family and friends for years and am hoping to expand my services to a larger community! I am very trusted and promise to give your pets the care they deserve! I am currently in college at GVSU with class Monday through Thursday. I still live in the Muskegon area and am only on campus for a couple hours each day so I am available any or all of the time outside of that. I am open to both short or extend bookings. I’m here to make this experience as easy and stress free as possible! I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family even for a short while. Whatever your preferences are for crating/caring for your dog I will respect and do with the same love I would for my own! Your animals will be safe and comfortable with me. I have experience with administering medications for both cats and dogs.

About: I've been watching over dogs, cats, and even bunnies for a while. I have some experience, and I can handle a lot. I am overall very patient and love animals. I'm here for those with busy schedules! I can walk dogs, or stop by to check on pets. Here for the fun, and love to help. I am very respectful and careful, especially in others' homes. I have the strength to handle big dogs on walks. Nothing is too crazy for me!

“Kevin was great with Percy! Showed up on time with no issues and left feedback so I knew he was well taken care of! Thank you!”

“Lexi is always amazing with my girls! They love when she comes to walk/stay with them. She is very patient with them and is always excellent when it comes to communicating with me. I would recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding pet care!”

About: I’ve had one cat and 2 dogs, hamsters, hermit crabs and bunnies. Worked on a Mastiff rescue, and fostered momma dogs recovering, rehabilitating and placed in loving homes. I have experience with all types of dog and cat breeds, as well as caring for goats, tortoises, etc. I love all animals and enjoy spending time with them. I also do animal Reiki and really make sure to holistically care for animal well being! I work from home and can handle many types of scenarios and needs. When my friends with pets are traveling, I’m their go-to. Spending time with animals is a blessing! I adore these angels and have so much fun caring for them. While I’m finishing a masters program online, this is a great way to work. This is so much up to you and specificity to the animal. I’m happy to work with you and your animal friends needs in order to create a comforting space. We have a large home, and yard. It is not fenced. I am happy to take your pup on a hike or nearby park, play with your cat, feed your tortoise lettuce etc.
