Dog Walkers in Gaines, MI

“Jessica made starting services with her so easy and her first walk with our Betsy went smoothly. Undoubtedly because of how good she is with Dogs. Looking forward to developing a long term working relationship!”

“Elena S. is wonderful! We just started using Rover for the first time a few weeks ago and I was a little hesitant about hiring someone we didn't know to walk our dog, but we lucked out with Elena. She took time to come and meet us beforehand and was so nice! She walks our dog 3-5 times per week and always sends us photos from their walks. And, most importantly, our dog loves her! It brings a lot of peace of mind to know our dog is in good hands while we're at work.”

About: I was a pre-vet student for 2.5 years before deciding to switch to humans. I had dogs from birth until I was 17 when my family dog passed away. I currently own 3 cats and 2 chinchillas! I grew up with a Husky, German Shepherd, and Collie so I am super comfortable with big dogs! I live in a smaller apartment so for me to own/host a dog would be unfair to the dog, but I would love to be able to walk/run and play with dogs of all sizes. I grew up with a dog who was on medication and special food so I am good with handling restricted diets, restricted activities, nail trimmings, and giving any kind of medications. I am currently free any day of the week due to being in maternity leave until September when I return to work part time as a nurse. I follow the rules the owner informed me of. If they require special care I will provide that care. Will keep the secure on leash/harness and keep an eye on them when outside. I leave your home as if I was never there so you don’t come back to any type of mess. I typically bring all of my own food and toiletries.

“Brittany is very reliable, patient, and good with my dog. We always appreciate when she can squeeze time in her schedule for us. She takes extra precaution and care making sure Harley is comfortable and safe and her little acts of care go such a long way! We highly recommend her to anyone who wants someone they can trust with their loved ones 😊”

“Laura is great! She always does a wonderful job taking care of my dog Willy Nelson. He is so happy everytime I come home from work after she has been with him for the day. Thanks for your service”

“Patricia was so professional, sweet, and amazing with my Great Dane. We will definitely use her again!”

“Kellie and Paige were both great with my dog. He’s a bigger dog and is kinda scared of meeting new people, and they were very patient with him and I on introductions and when they would come by to take him for walks. I also had several shift changes for the month I was here and they were great at communicating and flexible with their schedules, which was very kind. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.”

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and absolutely love animals! I've had many different types of personalities with all of the animals I've had growing up so I know how to handle many different dogs and cats. I'm not ready to adopt a dog or another cat yet so I would love to be able to spend some time with more animals! I love to be outside and being active, so I would love to take your dog on walks and have plenty of experience doing that. I also have experience with house/pet-sitting and would love to spend time with your dogs and/or cats while you are away. I always provide plenty of updates and photos so that you know they are in good hands!

About: Retired from Hewlett Packard (HP) and have lots of time to spend with your furry friend. I have a dog and we take multiple walks each day, weather permitting. With years of experience raising cats and dogs, you can feel confident that your fur baby(s) will be well taken care of. I have rejoined the work force and work from home so I can drop in mornings and late afternoons for feeding, walks and snuggles. There are times I could drop in during my lunch hour as well. No overnight stays at my home as I do not have a fenced in yard. I also have a dog, Lacee Loo, who is high anxiety and is not welcoming to other animals inside her home. I am also not available for overnight stays at your home as I would need to find care for Lacee. However, I can make myself available to drop in each day/evening as often as is needed.

About: Got a special request Just ASK & I can probably accommodate! I treat my home like an Airbnb for dogs!! If you use talking dog boards ( not provided) or have any additional training needs I am happy to include that with booking. I do have talking dog buttons accessible to dogs in my home so they can request any basic needs they have. Not all dogs use them but we have them & will offer the option to every dog! I also can provide Spaw Services this includes all natural paw pedicures ( No nail trimming), paw pad treatment, doggy massages & stretches. Cooling collars in the summer, & warm blankets in the winter. Doggy facials & all natural doggy face wipes, & all natural coat treatments. My puppy Dutch gets a weekly coconut oil fur treatment. Also offer all natural food options for dogs! ( Price not included in boarding) At age 12 I started volunteering for Leader Dog of the Blind and Paws With A Cause training career service dogs. I have trained numerous dog and have over 20yrs of experience. When boarding dogs I take in consideration breeds, personalities, age & special needs. I provide shorter walks and shorter play times with older or special need dogs. I also rotate one on one time with the dogs I am boarding. Each stay I provide 1-2 walks per day and outdoor play times. I provide training with the dogs free of charge. Some examples are walking calmly, eye contact, and waiting calmly. I view dog boarding as a "Doggy Arb&B" & do my best to incorporate outings such as a walk to get pup cups in the summer. In colder months I provide nights by the fire with stuffed bones. Or I make all natural homemade dog treats in my experience the dogs enjoy laying in the kitchen while I make them. And of course provide lots of love & cuddles free of charge! am taking boarding, drop in visits, and other pet services. I have a fenced in backyard. Daily walks and play times are given throughout day. On weekends I am outside most days . The dog/s can enjoy ice bowls, kiddie, pool, and shade in the backyard. My son & view dog boarding as a doggy ARB & B. They are on vacation too. In the summer months their last night of boarding they get a special walk to the ice cream store to enjoy a pup cup & extra one on one time.

“MaKayla's love for and experience with dogs clearly shone through as my 1 year old rambunctious pup bonded with her immediately! MaKayla is easy to work with. She communicates well, is prompt and is genuinely interested in learning about my dog's routine and personality. She is an excellent pet caregiver!”

About: I've worked with and taken care of animals at every point in my life, both professionally and personally. I've worked in dog daycare facilities and The Humane Society as well as a few pet stores! Along with dogs and cats, I have knowledge of smaller mammals, birds and reptiles (that's Morla in some of my pictures, a Sulcata tortoise). I can also provide basic obedience training support and maybe a few tricks! There's nothing better than four legs and a wagging tail! As a part time worker from home, I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! Fitting in time throughout the day (or night) will never be a problem. Whether dropping in for a midday visit or for a nice walk, I can do my best to get out the built up energy your fur friend may have. Playing fetch or tug, or even a long belly rub! While I do not have a fenced yard, play and exercise is possible with longer leads and walks around the property. Plenty of playtime and exploration inside and out!

About: I grew up in a family full of animals! Everything from dogs and cats to horses or reptiles. I’m currently raising a service dog through a guide dog organization, so I’m getting training experience through that as well. I’m a full time college student and have a low maintenance part time job that is super easy to work around. I have time throughout the week for drop in potty breaks or walks depending on the day, most weekends I’m free most of the day on the weekends. I have been offering a variety of levels of care for animals for several years, I have no problem giving any medications, specific schedules, going on as many frequent walks or potty breaks depending on what fits your furry friends the best. I love every one of my clients animals as much as I love my personal pets. I enjoy getting to know their personalities and how to help them best feel comfortable. I prefer to do a meet and greet before overnight visits so your furry friends will feel more comfortable with me in their space.

About: I've been caring for animals of every kind since I was 10. I have over 25+ years experience working with animals as an animal behavioralist and dog trainer. I am also a Veterinary Technician (LVT). I am very passionate when it comes to dogs, any breed and size! I have been blessed to work and train with many ethologists (behavioralists), service dogs, K-9 units, leader dogs for the blind, and also at Wolf sanctuaries as a veterinary medical specialist throughout the United States. I specialize in pet first aid, senior care, medicating and CPR. Currently taking new clients and am looking forward to meeting you and your fur babie(s). At the present time, I have open availability to do house sitting, dog walking, cat care, obedience training and drop in visits. I will update any changes to my availability often. Pet safety and trust is my number one goal! I would like to first get to know you and your dog or cat through a meet and greet. I would like to assure you peace of mind and for your pet to feel comfortable as well. Will make any accommodations needed! My schedule is flexible, so will be able to cater to your pets needs! I'm also available weekends and holidays for house sitting or drop in visits. (*Additional charges will apply for house sitting & drop in visits during holiday dates*) Even though I have my own spoiled fur baby, please note that he will not be accompanying me to your home. His grandparents are more than happy to watch and spoil him rotten!! :) Please let me know your pet's schedule/needs. If they require scheduled medication or trips to the bathroom frequently. Also, how many hours that they can be left alone during a possible work day. I will definitely make every effort to accommodate a special needs pet ( separation anxiety, frequent medication administering, insulin, feeding tube, etc.(*Depending on the severity of the situation of your pet, please note that there may be additional charges for them during house sitting*)

About: I have taken care of my neighbors cats and dogs when they have gone on vacation for about 4 years now. I am very responsible and love being around animals. I am currently a student at a university. So I have weekends off and I can stay overnight with pets. I am also free during the week occasionally. I love interacting with pets. I will play with them and make them feel safe when their owner is gone. I will stay with them overnight if need be.

About: I have considerable experience caring for a wide range of animals, from small 5-pound pets to large animals weighing up to 150 pounds. I have been providing dog-sitting services for the past three years and have also cared for my own pets for many years. My approach is reliable, attentive, and rooted in a genuine love for animals. I work at a pet store Monday through Friday from 9 to 3, and I care for animals with the same love and attention you would give them yourself. Unfortunately, I’m not able to care for pets in my own home, my cat wouldn’t be too thrilled about the company! But I’m more than happy to care for your pets in their own space where they’re most comfortable.

About: From early on in life I have always been an animal lover. I was the one bringing home injured birds and stray dogs/cats when I was a kid. My mom was supportive of that passion and helped me help so many animals over the years. I have personally only adopted animals from rescues and my current dog is a rescue. I volunteer time to local rescues and bring supplies to local shelters. I care for neighbors animals and homes when they go out of town. I am always very nervous about new people around my animal and home, so I always make sure to treat clients like how I would want to be treated. I really enjoy giving people one less thing to worry about. I am openly available. Besides the occasional errand, I am always home, so nobody will be left home alone! We are up with the sun and stay up late! We are on 9 acres with river access, a quiet country road and plenty of places to lounge or run! It is not fenced in.

About: I have many years of experience of pet care. I also volunteer at the humane society. I am an animal and people person. I have been pet sitting and walking for many years. I currently have a female boxer. She gets along very well with other animals. I have two children, they are older so they know their boundaries. They also love to help with walks and pet sitting. I have very open availability and would like to travel up to 20 miles from my town of Byron. Please contact me and we can work out an arrangement. I would be happy to meet your pet care needs. I can also help out with special need pets. I have worked with Diabetes, epilepsy, and other special needs.
