Dog Walkers in Gordon Beach, MI

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience with diabetic dogs. Dogs that need medicine. Special needs dogs. I love to play with them, walk them and I will treat them as my own. We raise horses so I have a lot of experience where you have to pay close attention so I would notice if something is off with you dog and I would address it immediately. I’m retired so you would not have to worry about your dog or cat. I would walk, brush, and play with your dog or cat. I would take care of your animal as my own at your home. I would make sure they are loved like my own. If they have special needs or need shots, medicine or anything extra you can feel safe with me.

About: I have three pets (two dogs and a kitten). I have had my dogs since they were puppies and trained both. They are basic and advanced command trained, crate trained, and potty trained. My sister successfully captured a stray kitten and after getting him fully vetted he is now our indoor cat who has been successfully litter trained. I have babysat many of my neighbors dogs and love walking my two dogs. I know how to deliver medicine to pets and feel comfortable caring for older pets. I'm currently working part time so I have a flexible schedule! I am available most weekends and during the week. I start a hybrid college course in January. When I visit your home I ensure to leave things the way I found them (hang up leashed/put toys away) and I am happy to meet a home before care for instructions.

About: I’ve raised dogs, cats & goats since I was old enough to hold a leash! From bottle feeding kittens to training goats to do tricks, dogs feel like a breeze. For the last 6 years, I’ve taken care of family & friend’s dogs. My husband & I have a 80lb golden doodle (who is transitioning into his elder stage of life) so I understand the importance of daily walks, play dates, and proper grooming. I vow to apply the same care for your pet! I’m currently a server, so I work less than 30 hours a week & mainly evenings! This leaves me plenty of time to pet-sit or walk during the day, especially on my days off. I have a fenced in back yard, a park within a 3 minute walking distance, and an incredibly friendly golden doodle. He loves to play fetch and tug. We take our dog on daily walks, weekly baths, and administer the proper vitamins and ear care as he transitions into being an elder dog. It’s important that I translate these same practices to clients animals!

“Corrine did a fantastic job with our dog. She met him a day before the scheduled walk to make sure our dog was comfortable with her (which he 100% was). She took him on a nice walk and sent pictures which we appreciated. We will definitely contact Corrine next time we need a walk for our dog.”

About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!

About: I had dogs as I was growing up and have many friends with dogs or cats now. I have gone on walks and runs with dogs and given them baths. I am very flexible and can give walks throughout the day. I do not need too much notice before taking animals for walks just basic information about what they are like and what they need. I take care of pets with lots of respect and will always clean up after them no matter what situation they get into. I give them the attention they deserve and love they need.

About: i have pet sat for years and i decided to turn it into a career i enjoy spending time will all animals and really getting to know each one’s personality i try to be as flexible as possible so i can be relied on at all times. pet sitting is my primary and i put that first 100% of the time :) i make sure to spend all my time with them to develop a relationship between myself and the pet. i try to do extra fun things with them, like play tug of war with their favorite toy or if they like more cuddles i provide extra snuggles. i don’t mind commuting to another home where the animal is more comfortable. if they want a walk i will take them on a long walk to the dog park and play ball with them. whatever they need i will put first!

About: As a lifelong pet lover, I have experience with dogs and cats! From dog sitting for various families to taking care of my own furry friends, I am very well versed in all aspects of pet care! I pride myself in providing a safe, comfortable and loving environment for all the animals in my care. Whether your pets need a walk, a belly rub, or just some compassion, you can trust me to give them all the attention they deserve!!

I provide a safe and comfortable environment, whether in my own home or at my clients homes. I follow instructions or preferences given to me by the pet owners and will ensure their furry friends receive the same level of care and attention they would at home! I always treat animal with the respect and kindness they deserve:)

About: I’ve taken care of both my family’s dog (Gus) and helped neighbors and friends with their pets since I was a kid. I’m hoping to find the same sort of work here now that I’ve moved I moved into the area recently and I’m looking for work that fits well with my other responsibilities. I have plenty of time to take care of and play with dogs I have a fenced in back yard, no carpeting, a large house space, and I live in a neighborhood that’s away from major roads with a lot of room for walking. It’s an ideal place for dogs!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, so getting older & widening my love for animals into a job seemed so fitting. I really enjoy those outdoors walks & dog park visits I am able to get in. Not only do the animals need to burn off energy, but I do as well! I currently am working a part-time hostess job at Casey’s in New Buffalo while I do only college classes at the same time, but still have plenty of hours in the day to attend to your fur babies! I am extremely flexible to any needs. I prefer watching the fur babies at the clients home because the pets are more comfortable there & can do their daily routines there. I would rather adjust myself than to have them adjust!

About: I have experience caring for animals and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping up with each dog’s normal routine. I understand every dog has a different personality and energy level, and I’m patient, attentive, and happy to give them the care and attention they need. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. I’m currently working around 30 hours a week. I work right down town in Saint Joesph Michigan. My schedule is very flexible. I work between five and six hour shifts. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I care for pets in their own home based on their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your home with respect and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: I've lived with, loved, and taken care of puppies and big dogs since childhood. Your fur baby is my fur baby. He/she will get all the love and comfort she/he desires in my home. I have a nice backyard so they have ample room to run, play, and relax without worry! I work from home so I have nothing but time and attention to give all fur babies in my home. I'm available Monday-Saturday until 8 p.m. I'm available on Sundays from 2 pm to 8 pm. I have a fenced in backyard and live in a quiet, safe, and pet friendly neighborhood. After 8 p.m. is when I take extra special care of any overnight pups to ensure safe and comfortable resting as well as potty time

About: I enjoy taking care of a variety of pets, and have helped care for many over the years. I have experience from everything as small as hamsters up to horses. I currently have dogs, cats, ferrets, and a horse. Many friends and family have relied on me for advice or to care for their pets. I’m available most days any time after 8am for pet sitting or dog walks! I can also do multiple drop in visits throughout the day! Normally at home I feed the dogs dinner, my mother does breakfast! I also take them out for walks around the yard. In your home I would do whatever is asked, and clean up any messes made.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life, and through those years they interest me more and more. I had/have multiple cats and dogs, and the connection with them has been something I couldn’t imagine not experiencing. Plus, the knowledge I have gained from being around familiar animals makes me feel I would love experiencing new things with other pets, and get to know their unique personalities. With that being said, I am open to almost any training/service necessary for your dog(s) or cat(s) needs and would love to get to know your fuzzy family! I’ve just started school, and my classes are every weekday from 5:30 pm to 10 pm, just so you’re aware if that contradicts any booking requirements you need. I have my own pets to take care of, but other than that I don’t have consistent routines that would get in the way of the times and dates I’m available. For drop-ins, I will do feedings, outdoor/potty time, and get to know your pet(s). If there’s any questions or other service not noted that you’d like to ask I can do, I would be happy to answer. Walks- I do at least 15 minute walks, and up to 90 minute walks. More characterized questions, such as walking area or what certain necessities your pet(s) needs can be discussed once I have contact/a schedule with you.

About: I haven’t met a dog I didn’t LOVE! With every unique personality and quirks, dogs have always held a very special place in my heart as companions, hard workers, and adventure buddies. Patience and understanding are a virtue when I introduce myself to a new dog. I am a persistent, positive reinforcement driven owner who loves to have lots of fun! I would absolutely enjoy getting to know your dog and creating a special bond. I offer basic commands training, puppy training, and special needs help (one of my two dogs is blind and deaf), along with administering any medications needed. I own and operate a restaurant Wednesday afternoon through Sunday night, so my schedule is heavily leaning towards Monday and Tuesday all day availability. I am also available in the mornings every day until about 2pm. I’m a routine person, we go potty every morning around 8:30-9am, have breakfast, and go outside again for another potty. Depending on the weather, Koda and I usually go for our walk around 12pm, lasting about 30-45 minutes (unless we are hiking a nature trail). Upon return it’s time for another potty break, then a few times more every 3-4 hours until it’s time for bed. In between those breaks are lots of playing inside and outdoors with toys and training with treats or cooked meats. I have a degree in wildlife biology, and focus on bird watching. This makes me very apt to sudden changes in the environment around me. I am quick to respond, and think critically on a whim to act on which is the best and safest approach to handle a situation. In the event that is beyond my control I would contact the owner (and possibly a veterinarian) immediately and let them know that I would like to take their dog to receive professional attention. Your pet comes first and I always make sure that our walks and training sessions are positive, exciting, and safe. While I seem energetic, I also have a relaxed disposition that is quite necessary when meeting a dog for the first time. They want to know that you are a safe and comfortable human that won’t harm or agitate them. I get down on their level, offer a hand out to encourage them to interact with me first, and then reward with a treat or toy. This is usually effective with repetition, but I understand that every dog is different. Trust is earned and I am persistent!
