Dog Walkers in Gobles, MI

About: I am a devoted animal person. Loving and caring for animals of all kinds describes my passion. I’ve been a pet owner all of my adult life. I am a retired teacher and mother of three grown children living with my husband, family dog and son’s cat. Helping pay the bills while being with animals sounds like a win-win to me! I live in a modest home, in the country, with a fenced in yard. Pets will be allowed in and out as needed. I also live on a small lake but pets only have access to it when the gate is open. I love walking and will most likely be taking your fur baby for a short daily walk while they stay with me.

About: I pay close attention to each dog’s unique personality and needs — from high-energy adventurers who love long walks to gentle souls who just want cuddles and calm company. You can count on me for dependable communication, updates, and plenty of photos so you always feel connected and at ease. I’m currently working part time as a babysitter so my schedule is quite flexible. Tuesdays are taken up but outside of that I’m very flexible! I have a dog friendly home with an open back yard. All dogs will be leashed at all times whether in your home or mine. Dogs in my home are dog friendly as well!

“Sarah is great with Lily. It is so nice to have the peace of mind to know that Lily is taken care of when we are away. Sarah has had good availability.”

About: I’ve taken care of my friends and family’s pets for 5 years all different sizes. Big and small and I love every minute of it! I’m currently working part time in Kalamazoo but Still have plenty of time to be able to play with your pets! My schedule does change weekly. I play with them, feed them and take them on walks. If they want they can sleep in my room or bed with me as well!

About: I bring over 15 years of experience as a puppy trainer for Canine Companions for Independence, where I helped raise and train service dog puppies with structure, consistency, and patience. That experience gave me a deep understanding of obedience training, behavior development, socialization, and building trust with dogs of all temperaments. I’ve also had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, working with puppies, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. I understand routines, communication, and the importance of making pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. What sets me apart is reliability, experience, and treating every pet like family — with structured care, attention to detail, and consistent updates for peace of mind. As a stay-at-home dad, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. During the school year, I have flexibility and availability throughout the day for drop-ins, walks, feedings, and check-ins. Summers are even more open, allowing me to offer consistent, reliable care with a flexible schedule. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to prioritize punctuality, routine, and communication. Pet care isn’t something I try to squeeze in — it’s something I can intentionally plan my day around to ensure your pets receive dependable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide exercise or playtime based on their needs, clean litter boxes or pick up waste promptly, and reinforce any household rules or training already in place. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on consistency, patience, and attentiveness. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. With over 15 years of experience training puppies for Canine Companions for Independence and a lifetime of owning both dogs and cats, I’m highly observant of behavior and body language, ensuring your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.

About: Dogs that come into my home will be loved, cuddled, learn tricks, always have a cozy place to sleep. We live on 3 acres but have a section that is fenced in for dog safety. I do not recommend having dogs that like to jump on fences here at our home until I can get ours replaced, as it is only 4 ft tall. But is excellent for non jumpers We will enjoy walks a couple times a day around our property. We have a golden retriever that loves having a playmate. We love all breeds, any size, any age. I am a single mom of a 7 year old so excited to take on extra responsibility. Dogs are our family. They need to be treated in a loving, kind, gentle manner. You can guarantee that your pup will be completely safe, and we'll taken care of in my care. I have never not owned a dog or cat. They have been a part of my life for many years. We also own 27 chickens and are willing to do drop in visits for chickens if needed as you go on vacation. My son is a great help with feeding, watering, collecting eggs, and light chicken coop cleaning. I work morning to early afternoon. I am usually home by 1 or 2 p.m. After I take care of my pets I am available to care for yours. I have a fenced in backyard. If the weather is extremely hot out I don't keep the dogs outside longer than after they do their business. I am a kind, hearted animal lover at heart. Your pet will get a lot of attention. I am a dog groomer as well.

“Arantza has been absolutely fantastic. She is reliable, dependable, and clearly cares about the dogs she works with. I have complete peace of mind knowing my dog is in her hands. Highly recommend her services.”

About: I have watched a multitude of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, lizards and even alpacas. I love training dogs and would gladly help train puppies and even older dogs. I am also experienced in giving medication to dogs and cats. I am on call for a doggy daycare so my schedule is completely free to pet sit any day other then Tuesdays from 3 until 6. Unfortunately I can't watch pets in my own home because I personally have a few pets of my own. I walk my dog every other day and bring him to the dog park on the opposite days and I will gladly walk your dogs every day or bring them to the dog park to play. I also have a cat of my own. My cat has a very sensitive stomach so I am used to cleaning messes and giving medication.

“Lexi was fantastic. I had a last minute trip and she was so easy to book with. She was very attentive and had my puppers taken out on time, every day. Thank you Lexi! I will definitely be rebooking with you in the future.”

About: I have 3 years experience working as a kennel attendant. I have cared for dogs of many breeds and temperaments. If needed I am able to administer oral and injectable medication such as insulin. I work split shifts throughout the week. I usually work from 8am-12:30pm & 3pm-6pm in a day. This gives me the flexibility and time to give the adequate care needed for your pet. It very much depends on each specific dog and their needs. I have cared for dogs that need to be crated while I leave the house and dogs that are able to have free range of the house. I work great with dogs that love to play and have energy, but I have also cared for dogs that are nervous and may need some space and trust building. Depending on the temperament and size of the dog I may offer in home boarding (I do have a well tempered male shih tzu at home)

About: I am an animal lover; I have been my entire life.I have experience working with senior animals, I have experience with administering all medications; whether it’s injections, oral liquids, or pills, or topicals. I treat my dog and my cat like they’re part of my family. I want your pets to feel loved while you’re away, so I will do everything I can to ensure that happens. I will make sure they are fed exactly as you need me to, I will administer medications (if they need them), we will go on walks, and if they are allowed to sleep in a bed, they can sleep with me also. I will make sure your home is straightened up before your return as well. I have a completely open schedule; so I can stop over any time of the day that you need care. Whether it’s early morning, or late evening, I can make that work for you. I will treat your home as if it is my own home. I will clean up after your pet and myself. I can administer medications (if needed), I will feed as you need me to; and I promise to give your pet lots of love and cuddles.

“From the minute our dog met Morgan I could tell things would go well. Morgan was very timely and sent pictures and details about each visit with our dog Leo. I was out of town and when I asked if she could do a couple of extra things to care for Leo she happily agreed. She is very trustworthy, attentive to details and caring. I look forward to having her help with Leo again in the future.”

The dates that I am not available are already marked in my calendar, so the rest of the summer is wide open for me! I am a visual person, and I thrive off of written instructions! My favorite part of petsitting is getting to know each pet and their individual quirks and routines. I’m happy to lounge on the couch or go on many walks throughout the day, depending on what your pets are used to. :)

As a dog owner myself with 3 dogs of my own, I understand the level of patience, consistency, and attention that goes into properly caring for pets every day.

I also have experience giving medications to dogs through caring for my own pets, and I’m comfortable following specific care instructions when needed. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve also pet sat for family members and made sure their pets received plenty of attention, affection, and consistent care while they were away.
