Dog Walkers in Gwinn, MI

About: Hello! My name is Izzy and I love animals of all shapes and sizes! Three years ago I adopted my dog Cedar from a shelter in Wisconsin. He has taught me so much about love, patience, and acceptance. As a reactive dog owner I understand how scary it can be to have other people care for your animal. I always use positive reinforcement techniques and have experience with training. I love animals of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and abilities. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I own a small business so my schedule is usually very flexible. I am available almost every day after noon. I tend to stay up late, so I can be available in the evenings if needed. I'll treat your dog like I treat my own! I use positive reinforcement. I am very gentle and patient. I love teaching dogs different tricks, or if playing fetch is more their speed that's fine too!

“Jen walked my dog, Hank, morning and evening for a month while I recovered from surgery. She was always on time, cheerful and amazingly good with Hank. She did some excellent training with him (and me) - Hank did well, I’ll be hiring her to train me soon. She has my highest recommendation!”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog walker who genuinely enjoys spending time outdoors with animals. I have a professional background working in caregiving and therapy settings, which has helped me develop a calm, attentive, and responsible approach when working with both people and animals. I also had a dog named Toby, who I loved deeply and took on daily walks. He recently passed away, and caring for him throughout his life gave me a strong appreciation for how important consistency, patience, and gentle care are for pets. Rover is giving me an opportunity to honor Toby while helping other pet owners. <3 I love getting outside for walks and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away or busy. I’m very dependable, detail-oriented, and focused on creating a positive experience for every pet I work with. I look forward to meeting your pet and giving them safe, fun, and consistent care! In the summer, I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m generally available throughout the day for walks and drop-in visits. I’m able to plan my time around bookings and be consistent once I commit to something. I also like being active and outside, so pet care fits really naturally into my summer routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions provided. I make sure the pet feels comfortable and secure by keeping their environment consistent and minimizing stress. For dog walking or drop-in visits, I focus on safety first. That includes using proper leash control, paying attention to the dog’s behavior, and making sure they get both exercise and care. I also communicate with the owner as needed so they feel updated and reassured.

About: Hi! I’m Abigail, and caring for dogs is something I genuinely love. Whether your pup enjoys playing, exploring, cuddling on the couch, or simply having a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That’s why I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and take the time to learn their unique personality, routines, and needs. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who prefer a slower pace, I’m committed to giving each pet individualized attention and plenty of affection. My goal is simple: for your dog to have such a great experience that they’re excited to come back! I’d love to meet you and your pup and help make your time away stress-free for both of you. 🐶❤️ I work full-time Monday–Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, and I’m available for pet care after work on weekdays and all day on weekends. Whether it’s an evening walk, dinner and playtime, or overnight care, I’m happy to make sure your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away. Weekends are perfect for longer visits, extra play, and plenty of cuddle time I care for pets in a very hands-on, attentive way and always try to make them feel safe and comfortable, especially while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine and make sure they get consistent care, attention, and reassurance. If pets stay in my home, I create a peaceful environment where they can settle in and feel relaxed. I stay observant of their needs and personalities, whether they’re playful, shy, or need extra comfort.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with different energy levels, personalities, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and great at following routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and administering basic medications. I’m comfortable with puppies who need structure and training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who need extra patience, gentleness, and consistency. I truly focus on making pets feel safe, calm, and cared for while you’re away! Pet care fits well into my daily routine, allowing me to be flexible and attentive. I plan my schedule around walks, feeding times, play, and check-ins so pets get consistent, unrushed care and attention. I prioritize safety by following all instructions carefully, keeping pets in secure environments, and monitoring behavior closely. In a client’s home, I respect their space while maintaining routines. I ensure leashes, doors, and food are handled carefully, and I’m always alert to signs of stress, illness, or discomfort.

“Thanks for helping in a pinch, Olivia!”

About: I worked at a local vet clinic (2023-2025) as a receptionist and a vet assistant. It is not my chosen career path, but I did learn valuable skills and knowledge on caring for pets, especially ones with health concerns, as well as triaging for urgent cases and emergencies. I have taken training classes with one of my pups at home from beginner to advanced. I have experience with puppies,adults, and senior dogs, plus dogs with health issues. I have some experience sitting for cats, including kitties post-major surgery, and I grew up with cats who I had from the time they were kittens through to old age. I am comfortable with pets of all ages! I also grew up with dogs as big as Old English Mastiffs and as small as tea cup Chihuahuas, so I am comfortable with all sizes as well. I work full time, and my schedule changes week to week. I work anywhere from 5 hours shifts to 8 hours. I am unable to leave for lunch breaks or anything like that, so I am available for pets who are able to be left alone up to 8 hours on days that I work. I do get two days off a week, and those days I'm available all day and can adjust my routine and schedule around your pets! I have two playful pups at home that love to meet new people and dogs! Every 4-8 hours they go on potty breaks in the yard, which is decently big for running around. They go on 30 minute walks almost every day and a special hike or activity at least once a week. Caring for the pups is split between my boyfriend and I. While no one is home, my pups have free-range of and kitchen with all doors closed throughout the day. They always have access to toys, fresh water, and couches/dog beds to lounge on. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture and sleep in our bed with us at night, but we have two dog beds available as options. We love to give a couple treats/snacks throughout the day as well! I really enjoy making the time spent other pups fun, so they can feel as relaxed as possible while their people are away. As a pet parent myself, I respectfully follow all of my client's rules and what is required regarding their pets and home.

About: Furry Friend Care experience includes caring for cat(s) needing regular injections (subcutaneous), special dietary needs, and walking multiple dogs (familiar with each other). Light grooming, as well! As a free agent with Home bases in both Munising and Marquette, I have flexibility!Please specify what area/ community when you request services. We all have things we care about and want to ensure are safe and cared for when we're not around. I will give care and consideration to your fur friends, their routines and safety! My house sitting, boat sitting, fur friend care, & companionship extend from Marquette to Munising, and Chocolay to Big Bay! Care to be in your home, unless special conditions are made. My current familiar is a gorgeous grey Nebelung cat, adopted as a kitten 5 years ago. She requires a special ZD diet and biweekly subcutaneous shots. I have experience attaching kitty nail caps, when she was younger, with coordinated guidance while we were sussing out an unknown skin condition that was causing her to scratch aggressively, continually opening wounds, not giving them a chance to heal. Her condition is now under control, and she no longer requires the nail caps. Prior cats I have cared for have ranged from 3 lbs to 28 lbs! Our family pooch is an English Springer Spaniel, a unique tri-color showcasing beautiful Sable color. We welcomed him to our home 6 years ago. He is our 2nd Springer in 21 years. They are such a loving, fun, and gentle breed. I have much experience in connecting with and walking rescue dogs as well, mixed breeds including Sharpei, Pit Bull, Rottie, Jack Russel, Corgie, Labradoodles, Spaniels, etc. Sanitation is the start of keeping our friends safe and healthy; exercise and fresh air are necessary as well to have a happy, healthy home life. I can provide these things for your loved furry friend(s) while you are traveling or working.

About: I have taken care of dogs for awhile not only have I watched them, but I have also owned them! I am perfectly fine taking them for walks I would really love that! Or just watching them for a couple of hours or for the night while the family is out! I have taken care of older dogs too! ( I am not having dogs at my house, app won’t let me update that) Now accepting overnights. I will be working days at my other job so I now have more availability for over nights if anyone is interested! I don’t have any pets currently due to the place I live at. When we had dogs we would always keep them on a leash so they don’t run away or go and randomly jump on other people. Let them out whenever needed and feed twice a day.
