Dog Walking Hartland

“We love Blake! He’s great at communicating with us and keeping us informed about the status of our animals. We completely trust him with our fur babies.”

Monica & John G.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I grew up on a dairy goat farm. All sorts of dogs, horses, cats, cows, goats, etc. I have had Chihuahuas all the way through German Shepherds. Puppy age all the way through their whole lives. I am the biggest animal (especially dog) lover! I love meeting new personalities. I would spend 24/7 lounging around with my dogs & cats if I could!🩷 I currently have a 16 year old Minature Schnauzer, and an under 1 year old Goldendoodle. My old girl currently takes quite a few medications and likes her alone time. My little man loves to play, be active, and requires hands on often. Therefore, I work with a spectrum of needs. I will make sure your baby has all the play time (or alone/rest time) they need!🩷 I am a professional MMA fighter & bar tend on the weekends! Most of my job consists of being at the gym just a couple hours at a time. And I live 5 minutes away from where I train! It makes spending time with & caring for pets easy and frequent. I only bar tend two days on the weekend (and my boyfriend is home most of that time too 😁 ) Home visits 🏡: In my client’s homes, I can easily care for your pets however you need. I will play games with your furry friends, lounge around with them, etc. I am a very active person & love taking long walks myself, so I would love to do that with your dog if you’d like! I am a reliable, very detail oriented gal. Whatever instructions you leave, I’ll get them done. I love when my clients can come back to a clean, comfortable space after caring for their fur babies. Boarding 🐶: I have a fenced in back yard on a quieter side street. We have an older Miniature Schnauzer, under 1 year old Goldendoodle, and two gentle, quiet cats that lounge around (pretty much keeping to themselves) 🩷 I have plenty of space in my living area to have the zoomies. I have a spare room to give your pet some rest and seclusion too! That means I also have ample room to crate your doggie, if needed. We would love to have your best friend come hang with us 🙂

About: I have taken care of all different kinds of dogs and cats since I was young. I volunteered at an animal shelter for one year in Denver and supported the shelter with socializing recently rescued stray cats. I helped manage the health needs of both my senior dog and cat when they got older. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to care for their furry friends! I recently moved back to Michigan, and I’m taking some time off from my typical job as a social worker. During this time, I am at home full-time and available during the weekdays and on weekends to help care for your pets. I will be sure to keep them safe and to follow the owner’s instructions as carefully as possible. I will be attentive to the pet’s needs and will be sure to leave the space clean. I am also not afraid to ask for help, so I will reach out to the owner if I’m unsure of anything!

About: I’ve had dogs most of my life and have always been a true dog lover. Since I was in high school, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and boarding in my own home. Little did I know, I was slowly building a small clientele of furry friends, many of whom I still care for to this day! I have preferences listed, but I’m flexible! If your situation doesn’t quite match them but you like my profile, feel free to send a request anyway. I have limited experience caring for cats and am allergic, so I don’t accept cat-only bookings. However, I’m happy to care for cats while house sitting for your dog, as my allergy isn’t severe enough to keep me from doing so. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments (so far). I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and no pets of my own at home, so your dog will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I normally send daily pictures and updates to pet owners so they can see how their pup is doing while they’re away! I treat every dog like my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m able to accommodate last-minute requests, recurring walks, and longer stays. I’m reliable, responsive, and can adjust to your dog’s routine as needed. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and make sure dogs are always supervised while outside. I currently don’t have other pets in my home, so your dog will have a calm environment and my full attention. I also have reliable transportation and can safely transport dogs if needed. While I don’t keep a crate on hand, I’m happy to accommodate one if you provide it and can easily transport it when necessary.

About: I have 30 + years of pet / farm care. Dogs, Horses, Cats, Goats, Chickens, Cows & more. I have a puppy a senior dog. Puppies and older dogs need love and care they need and deserve.

Being a horse owner and studied Equine Science, I have managed a 55+ stall barn with studs, mares, geldings, colts and fillies. The farm animals I am a professional stall/poop cleaner.

If it is something I think I can do then I will have you watch and confirm I am doing it correctly. If anything is off with your fur baby I will call you or the vet (depending on what we discuss). I send lots of photos and updates more than required. Meet and greet is required. I want everyone to be happy and not be stressed! Please let me know if you have any questions. I have a blue healer x rat terrier mix, mexican hairless x corgi mix, chickens and quail on my property so I am not able to accept animals to my home. They will not be going to your home either don’t worry! I also own 2022 American Quarter Horse Mare that I trained and show.

About: I've grown up with Collie's, cats, ducks, squirrels, hamsters and many other critters. I have a loving spirit for animals. Some times I think they are more thoughtful than people. I'm just hoping to find some good hearted animals to take care of...My mother was an avid rescuer of animals and I got involved through the years and would love to provide someone's dog with the same love and attention that I would like my own animals to receive. I have experience with all types of animals and I'm willing to come to your home and give your animals the same love and attention I give my own animal. I am a little leary of pits and rottweilers so keep that in mind when choosing me to care for your dogs.

About: We have 2 very friendly dogs and 3 loving cats! My boyfriend and I absolutely love animals! We do allow animals on the furniture. I am home full time, so they will be able to go outside anytime during the day. I can take them on walks anytime during the day! I have used this service for months in California and loved every second of it! If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me anytime! I have photos posted of all the animals in our home and pictures of inside the house for reference! I look forward to booking with you! 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕

About: I just made the compassionate choice to set my dog free from his pain. I was a dad to a 7 1/2 year old Schnauzer mix who was just the best. If you want to know more I can talk about him for days. I used to watch pups for teachers, coaches, and family members before I moved out and got my pup! I’ve watched dogs of all sizes and would love to get to spend time with your pup too. I have a fenced in yard, love taking dogs for walks and playing with them. They will always have a blanket and bed to lay on and lack nothing with me. I work a hybrid schedule right now, so I’m usually available around lunch times or in a pinch to go make an appearance for your pup and make sure they’re taken care of. Depending on your needs I can usually be flexible with my time to make things work. My house has a fenced in yard, and I love going outside with dogs to play, throw the ball, or just hang out with them. Wherever I need to be for them, I’m there! They will be able to explore my house, be in furniture.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7! I’ve been passionate about dogs since I was little. I am experienced in bathing, walking, playing, and caring. I am very careful, gentle, and respectful towards all animals big and small. I’m currently free most days of the week. Weekly appointments on Tuesdays would only affect the late morning/afternoon schedule. I do race within a barrel racing circuit that runs on MOST weekends. If I do not have races I will be free. This is only in the summertime. During the fall/winter/partly spring I will be back in university making time a little more sparse. During those times I will be only available on weekends. I have much respect for any environment. IF in your house, please do not be afraid to tell me anything important that I would need to know. I will always be sure to keep your puppies and kitties safe no matter what!! Animal safety is my number one priority.

I own a pet service company called pawsitively Lexi, and an animal lover! I offer customized care for each animal I watch to ensure that you & your pet/pets are comfortable and happy. Since I was 13 I have been taking care of my families/ friends pets & used to dog walk for the people in my neighborhood before moving. I have my own cats named mace and lili who are both indoor. mace is a nebelung who I rescued from a barn at 6 months and lili is a mixed breed who was given to me at 3 months. I live in a condo complex with a nice sidewalk as well as a park nearby to play at! Not only am I a respectful and trustworthy person, but can assure you that your furry friend is in great hands when they are with me. 💕 I am a mother, have a degree in holistic medicine, student, and own my own pet service company!

They have plenty of space to roam including a screened patio to bird watch on as well as a massive cat tower with plenty of toys to keep them entertained. I feed them both wet food twice a day and they free feed on dry.

About: I have had pets all my life, I grew up with a yellow lab who developed diabetes around 10 years old. I learned to give her the insulin shots she needed that allowed her to live a couple more years. Now I have two rescue dogs, one that is now deaf, that I share responsibility for with my parents. I am willing to take the time to learn how to give any special care your dog might need, and can go at your senior pups pace if needed. I can also keep up with young energetic dogs that enjoy playing and exploring. I share responsibilities of my two dogs with my parents so I am often feeding and playing with my dogs. I take care of them daily. As for your pet, I am available to walk your pup anytime from 11am - 4pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. While my own dogs are more couch potato vibe, and don’t need much more than a run in the backyard, I understand your pets needs may be different. In a clients home I prefer to have written instructions about a pets routine. I like to give the care the pet parent would like me to provide. A little bit of training during a walk, a certain strict meal plan, or if your pet needs medicine- I can do it! As long as the information is provided to me I will care for your pet the same way you would.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and I’ve been taking care of animals for friends and family for at least the last 3 years- I always love taking care of whoever I can! I can provide part-time and full-time weekend care, and am trained in pet CPR and safety! I’m capable of administering medication, and can be reliable in the time needed to feed, let outside, and do everything else that dogs need to be happy! I’ll also give consistent update messages to let you know what’s happening on a day-to-day basis! I’m currently only available on weekends when I have an available car, as I’m currently getting approved for an auto loan on a new car! But anytime then, I’d love to help out on the pet care side! I’m experienced in dealing with multiple different homes, and can do whatever is needed for pet care, such as crating dogs or scooping litter boxes!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life and I have recently found a deep love for cats. I have 2 large English mastiffs and have taken care of dogs of all sizes! I work full time as a group home manager so I have so many years of caring for humans. I have plenty of free time to stop in and take care of your babies! I will care for your pets as if they were my own. On your routine and follow directions step by step for what your fur baby needs!

About: Rya & I just move to Elkhart in October. Allow me to take care of your four legged friend. Your dog will enjoy running and lounging in the open areas. After plenty of fresh air and outdoor exercise he will enjoy a sleepy snooze on one of the many cozy spots that he will find in a quiet home. Take the stress away from leaving your loving pet and let me take care of him while you are away.I like to do a " meet and greet" to see how the dog gets along with me and my own dogs. I do not have a breed preference. Of course I would like to know if the dog has any health concerns or behaviors I should know about, the dog's. My daily routine is wake up let animals outside. Then feed. Then I take care of myself. Relax, go for a long walk with them or run. I am free most days and weeks. I have 30 acres of fence in yard. I have a horse pasture I made it where the dogs can't get out they also have a indoor area where they can relax in shade. And water 24/7.

About: I offer great service. I’m good with both cats and dogs, I understand pet care and how to properly socialize with them. I’m attentive and patient with the vibrant personalities of any pet! I require that first time clients schedule a video chat with me prior to any services to ensure the safety of your home and your pet. Please do not text me personal phone numbers. I lost my senior yorkie at the start of this year. However, she was very pampered and cared for. Our daily routine is consistent and I monitor her health closely as well as give her plenty of attention and play time. She’s very attached to her home and her family, and very protective, so it’s important that she has lots of love. She’s a cuddler and goes for the mouth with kisses. Her stomach is very sensitive and she has a strict diet. She’s a great companion, however, and a great bugler alarm system as she barks at everything that moves. I understand greatly, the importance of a dog’s preferences and quirks. Nothing your dog could need is ridiculous to me at all. Your home will be greatly respected, and your pets will be my priority. I will keep your pet on their proper schedule and ensure that they don’t get lonely while you’re away! You would set the feeding schedule and I would take them on walks or let them outside accordingly. Of course we will have plenty of playtimes and I will do my best to limit any messes.
