About: I’ve had a dog growing up my whole life, I’ve never been bit by a dog or have ever had a negative experience with a dog. I understand that while it is a major part of your family it is still an animal no matter what. I’m not going treat it like a fur baby cuddle toy. They will be loved and cared for. My word. Not working right now, would love to help out during the day and during the week. I am more than happy to accommodate certain times and dates for an agreed amount. My studio apartment is small, I live on a first floor apartment with only one set of stairs to the exit. Also an elevator to the base floor is available without requiring need for steps if necessary.
“Lizzie has been a great help walking our little cavapoo. She is very punctual, responsive, and caring. She left a detailed report from her walk with our dog along with some very cute pictures. We will definitely be using her in the future for all our dog walking needs.”
“Gaby is awesome all around and attentive to my dog, Emmy’s, specific needs and personality.She is a very clear and prompt communicator, and goes the extra mile for your dog!”
“Kevin walks our dog a three times a week. Clyde can be a challenging dog to walk (bulldog!). Kevin stays patient with him and sends positive reports & pics each time he’s with him. Kevin is great to work with! We feel lucky to have met him!”
About: I seem to be a magnet for anxious dogs and cats! Both my senior cat and adolescent dog have behavioral issues/anxiety, and while it has its challenges, I find bonding with these guys can be the most rewarding experience. Between slow, gentle movements, not rushing a bond, and having lots of treats on hand, I've learned that "difficult" personalities don't always have to be so hard. I work 8-5 on weekdays, with Mondays and Fridays being working-from-home days. I can easily incorporate lunch-time and evening visits into my schedule during the week with open availability on weekends. After adopting an anxious/reactive dog, my partner and I have invested countless hours into a training program that works for us. Through this experience, I've learned the power of positive reinforcement, consent for touch, and patience even when it's the most difficult to find it. I'm a huge believer in redirecting unwanted behavior rather than punishment of any kind. Love and respect is the driving force behind all of my interactions with animals!
About: Your dogs will love it here! Family and friends relay on me to take care of their pets while they are away. I have experience with all types of dogs and personalities. I am currently a stay at home mom of 1, with a flexible schedule. In the home we have 1 dog named Jack. If special arrangements are needed please let me know. My apartment is on a low traffic street & has a large yard with plenty of room to run.I will provide toys, treats & blankets.
About: I’ve taken care of pets other than my own since seven years old. From family, to friends, to neighbors. Good with pets of all ages, phenomenal at getting stubborn senior pups to eat their food. I am currently a full-time student, with most classes landing in the 8am-4pm range. There is usually a break between, so I am available for mid-day walks/visits! I am available on some holidays. I currently live with my anti-pet parents, so caring for pets in my clients home is ideal. This is much less stressful on the pet, having their familiar environment. I am non-invasive and will respect any requests you have for my time in your home.
“Katie is amazing! We are new to GR and were nervous about finding someone to walk our dog. Katie was incredible! She was 100% on time, she listened to what our dog needed (wanted to turn around early on their walk) and then spent the remainder of their time hanging out! I could not be more thankful to have someone like Katie!”
About: I have been watching animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a house full of cats and dogs, I've been involved with puppies/kittens to senior pets as well. I'm available to administer medication if needed. I've looked after animals for my neighbors, friends, family, and co-workers as well as those I have been recommended to from existing clientele. I currently work full time, but am remote on Fridays. I work from 8-5 PM everyday, with an hour break from 12-1 PM. I can work around my schedule and yours for your pets needs! Available on the weekends, all day, as well. I care for pets in my client's home the same way I would care for my own pets in my own home. I respect the space that I'm in while giving my undivided attention to the animals that need my care. I'm respectful of the home I'm staying in, always trying to make it cleaner than when I arrived (you'll never know I was there!). The pet's wellbeing is important and a top priority for me - I want to make sure the owner feels at ease when leaving their pet(s) and home with me.
About: I currently have a kitty whom I love and adore and take care of by myself, as I live alone. In previous years I have fostered older cats who needed to be socialized. I also primarily took care of my family's dog, walking her three times a day and keeping her well fed and entertained. I have also had experience walking neighbors' dogs and watching friends' cats. I absolutely adore both cats and dogs and would love to spend time with yours! I'm currently working a first shift job, so I have plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to watch or walk your furry friends. I have a lot of experience with shy cats and dogs, so I'm great at making them more comfortable and ease their nerves as they are with a stranger. Safety is also a top priority, watching them and making sure they aren't eating or getting into something dangerous.
About: I’m a dog lover! I have my own reactive pit bull so have experience with reactive and larger dogs. My dog doesn’t want to make any doggy friends but I do! I’m happy to spend time with your pets, meet your and their needs and be a good communicator! I work a second shift job close to downtown Grand Rapids so am available for mid day walks and drop in. I enjoy getting outside and exploring and would love to do so with your pet! I am able to take care of your pets in your home according to your instructions and enjoy getting to know your animals! I am a good communicator and follow directions.
