Dog Walkers in Goodland, MI

About: I am a stay at home mom with 2 school - aged boys. My kids love dogs almost as much as I do and are very good at helping out with them. I have been a dog owner for 30+ years and our dogs have always been treated like family, including having their own Christmas stockings. We adopted our sweet senior rottie mix, Roary, back in 2023 and our indoor/outdoor kitten, Biscuit, in 2025. I will only care for dogs in my home that get along with children, dogs, and cats so everyone will feel comfortable. If your dog plays well with others, (s)he will be treated as family! I work from home, so I spend the majority of my day at home. Your pet will not be alone for long, if at all. We live on 3 acres and while we don’t have a fenced yard, your pet will spend plenty of time outside (on a leash) and be walked around the yard every few hours. I currently work from home. I will be able to take your pet for multiple walks daily and attend to their needs consistently. Even though I work from home, my time is important. Last minute requests will have a $25 charge added to the booking. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a good amount of property and will walk your pup throughout the day. If they need more exercise, I do have a long lead I can put them on to play fetch or just run around. I do not allow the pups to be outside unsupervised or unleashed at any time.

“Rebecca was very pleasant and professional. She handled the boys well and helped burn their pent up energy. Thanks!”

About: I've always had house and farm pets, from cats, dogs, birds, chinchillas to goats, sheep, llamas and horses, and more. Love them all. Plants too! I'm currently available after 10am week days, and usually anytime weekends. I'm generally very flexible if I know ahead of time when I'm going to be needed. I'm able to take care of your pets in your home as well as walk them in your neighborhood. Whatever makes them a happy critter!

About: I’ve always had a strong love for animals and experience caring for pets with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I currently own a German Shepherd/Poodle mix and a Maltese/Yorkie, so I’m very comfortable handling both high-energy dogs and smaller breeds that need extra attention and care. Caring for my own dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like family. I understand that every animal has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel loved and cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced in walking, feeding on schedule, providing playtime, administering basic care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m also comfortable with puppies that need extra patience and energy, as well as with older dogs that may need a calmer, gentler approach. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own dogs. I’m used to maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention and care they need throughout the day. Since I’m organized and good at managing my time, I’m flexible and dependable for drop-in visits or walks during the week! I enjoy staying active, so taking dogs on walks or spending time playing with them is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s sticking to a pet’s normal routine or giving extra attention when needed, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand how important routines are for pets, so I make sure to follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I also pay close attention to a pet’s behavior and comfort level to help reduce stress while their owner is away. I have experience caring for both large and small dogs through my own pets, a German Shepherd/Poodle mix and a Maltese/Yorkie, so I’m comfortable handling different energy levels and personalities. I keep environments clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always prioritize safety during walks, outdoor time, and interactions. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and give owners peace of mind, knowing their pets are in caring, dependable hands.

My hours are generally very flexible and I am available whenever best suits you and your pets needs. Most of free time is spent with my dogs or with clients. I'm not watching pets at my home right now because my oldest dog doesn't like strangers and I don't want to upset him if I don't have to. *Currently rewriting my profile please excuse the chaos*

“Diana was great! Our dog is sweet, but not the easiest to walk. She didn’t really mind his quirks and seemed very comfortable with him-70 pounds. Would definitely ask her again! Her communication was timely and she came over for a meet and greet before her first walk. Thank you!”

About: I’ve taken care of my family pats ever since I was young, always had dogs and cats, I love all of my pets and spending time with them, can’t wait to meet yours and all of their quirks!! I’m only busy one day a week right now, which is Sunday's. Obviously there are days that I’m busy with friends or family or babysitting, something along those lines :) I can’t bring any pets to my home, my pets are shy lol, but of course any special feeding requirements or any special requirements in general, I love to play, keeps me entertained to :)

About: My schedule is very flexible besides Monday’s where I attend class all day. I had an English Lab for 10 years and now have a family dog who is a Lagotto Romagnolo. Now I’m just a burnt out ICU nurse who is looking for a fun job while attending graduate school! I love all kinds of dogs, and I’m excited to give your furry family member the love and care it needs while you’re away! My schedule is super flexible. The only days I won’t be able to provide care is Monday’s completely and Tuesday’s once a month. Other than that my schedule is open and able to drop in or stay with your pets if needed. I am very active and love getting my steps in so I would take your pets on walks very frequently and for at least a mile or two depending on the dog’s tolerance. I would feed your dog according to their schedule in a timely manner. I can provide baths if they become dirty/muddy from the outdoors. Finally, I can provide love and attention to them!
