Dog Walking in Grandville

“Great communication. My dog really liked her at the first meeting! Always the best sign for me!”

“Renee is such a gem, and my pup loves her time with her. It is so nice to know on the days that I work late I don’t have to worry about my pup having to be alone all day and not get her steps in. Renee is very communicative and reliable. A welcome addition to our weekly routine.”

“Kelsey has been a huge help for our family. We got a new pup this summer and as a teacher I was nervous about leaving her at home all day for the first time. Our high energy vizsla girl very much enjoys her 30 minute walk each day with Kelsey. I would recommend her services to my friends and neighbors.”

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love dogs of all ages and have many years of hands on experience caring for my family dog. I am very comfortable with both puppies and younger dogs as well as senior dogs, and I understand that each stage comes with different needs. I am patient, attentive, and reliable. I enjoy staying active with dogs who need more energy burned off, and I am also careful and calm with older dogs who need slower paced walks. I take routines seriously and treat every dog like my own. Pet care fits into my routine alongside my classes and part time job. I plan walks and visits around my school and work schedule and communicate clearly about availability. I am organized with my time and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to. Even with a busy schedule, I make sure each walk or visit gets my full attention and care. When walking dogs, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure I understand each dog’s routine, behavior, and any special needs before the walk. I use secure leashes and harnesses as instructed, stay aware of surroundings at all times, and avoid situations that could cause stress or risk. I keep walks appropriate to the dog’s age, energy level, and comfort, whether that means a more active walk or a slower paced one.

About: I've been working with and caring for animals many years of my life. From huskies to terriers, to kittens and strays, I treat them the way friends do for one another. I put their needs before mine. I keep them in my sight, in the case of danger, to ensure their safety and overall well-being. Therefore, they will be loved and treated like family. I have an open schedule besides Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:30am to 11am. Additionally, I am devoted to your pet's needs and strive to accommodate your schedule. I have been caring for stray cats in my backyard for the past three years, with many of them needing specialty care. Whether it's a dog like my past companion, a husky named Ruby, or my friendly terriers, I adjust to their needs. I provide them with what they need. Whether they require adjustments for social anxiety or have a hard time on the leash or specific food requirements, I am familiar with these aspects. I am always willing to do what is best for them.

“Lucas is a lifesaver! I’m so happy he was willing to take us on as clients. He’s responsive, punctual, and friendly. He provided great feedback from walks with my Samson; they seemed to get on pretty well. I would definitely rebook.”

About: I have a passion for taking care of animals of all kinds! Growing up we had a Labrador/Blue Heeler mix named Oreo who I loved very much. Throughout that time, I was of course responsible for feeding, walking, and teaching basic commands. Throughout the years, I have also taken care of friends' dogs - from Corgis to Labradors - while they were out of town, including staying overnight to care for them. I am happy to be a friend to all animals, and provide the utmost attention to make sure they feel loved. I work remotely and generally create my own work schedule as a consultant, so I have no problem working in time to care for your pets. It gives me a chance to step away from my computer for a bit! As with my own pet, I offer a loving and calm demeanor when dealing with animals. It is very important for me to make sure that your pets feel comfortable and cared for. Treating everyone's home with respect is also at the top of my list. Happy to follow whatever instructions are provided. My goal is to make your pets feel like their family never left (although I know you can never be replaced).

About: Since I was little I have been around animals having grown up on a farm. Currently, we have one small 10 lb dog named Winnie. She is house trained, spayed and super sweet! I am a stay at home mom with 3 kids ages 17, 15, and 12. They are gentle and helpful with dogs. I am a stay at home mom and am home most days of the week, which allows me to be flexible with my schedule and availability. I have one dog, a 10 lb jack russel/dachshund mix. She is super sweet and loves other dogs! I do not have a fenced yard, so I always take our dog out on a leash or use a tie out. I have a nice neighborhood and can walk dogs easily. I also do not live far from a fenced in dog park that I could take them to for playing and exercise. I do have three children (17, 15, and 12) in the home.

About: I’ve had the joy of staying overnight with and checking in on my friends’ and neighbors’ cats and dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable administering meds, managing high-energy dogs, and giving extra scritches ☺️ I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time during the day to take care of your pets! Evening and/or weekend visits will only be occasional. I’ll do whatever I can to help your pets feel safe and loved. Please let me know how I can go the extra mile to let them feel special!

“Lisa did a flawless job again she showed up perfectly on time took care of our fur baby and everyone was much happier for her visit. We would use her again and again.”

About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs and cats while they have been on vacation since I was around 10. I am always trusted and have so much fun doing so! I am currently in graduate school getting my Masters degree in social work at GVSU. I am in the accelerated program and have an internship. I love animals and would love to make some extra money on top of my schedule. I would love to go on long walks! I am also available to let your little friend out while you are out of the house for a potty break or just to hangout and play with some toys! I love some good cat snuggles as well!

About: I come from a family of animal lovers and as such have had cats and dogs in the house since I was a child. I have cared for the pets of my neighbors, friends, and family for years through dog walking and pet sitting. I have been loving on and training a puppy of my own since March! I’d love to help give your pet all the love and attention they deserve 😊 I am a graduate student at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, MI. Because of this, I have a flexible schedule, aside from set class times, throughout the work week. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, big breeds welcome! I am happy to meet you wherever you are with training, medication, play time, etc. I have a puppy of my own and am totally comfortable with puppies. 😊

About: Ever since I was born, my family and I have had dogs. I grew up with dogs and always consider them to be a member of the family. I have had a cat for about 6 years now and have fallen in love with cats as well (and animals in general)! I've become good at picking up signs to how the animal is feeling and love to assist with training activities. I have open availability to best fit your pet care needs. I'm very flexible and am currently only working part time. I can provide the care you need, when you need it! I can easily provide your animal with the best scratches, cuddles, exercise, and anything you may require! I enjoy long dog walks and have no issues feeding or checking on your animals if needed. I love to build a relationship with clients and their animals to help put you at ease.

About: We love the company of the animals and to give us something to do that we truly enjoy. Between the two of us one of us is always home. Ed is a retired firefighter and second career nurse, while Ashley is a current working nurse. My partner and I work as nurses, we schedule ourselves so we don't over lap, making it easy to always have one of us available almost 24/7 to drop in! We are comfortable going and playing with your cats, dogs, mice, fish, dinosaur... Ya know, whatever you have! We can be there to keep them happy while your away on vacation! We send TONS of pictures because we know it's nerve-racking to leave them alone.

“Michelle took great care of my dogs with regular walks while I was on vacation. I came home to happy, healthy boys! I would hire Michelle again; she will take great care of your pets!”

This allows me to dedicate consistent and attentive time to looking after pets, ensuring their needs are met throughout the day!

I take the time to understand their individual habits, preferences, and health requirements, so I can provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them at all times.
