Dog Walking Holland

“Sam was really great! Milo was a little nervous at first about being walked by someone new, but Sam was so patient and friendly with him. I plan on scheduling recurring walks with Sam!”

About: I have a bernidoodle of my own, and I have dog-sat for other family members and neighbors. I am comfortable with all dog breeds and sizes. I am currently on summer break from college. I will be available for drop-in visits and walks any day during the week and weekends after 10 am. My schedule is very flexible, and I am open to schedule changes and to taking on multiple dogs. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat their home with respect and follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible. During visits, I'll make sure your dog gets plenty of time outside for potty breaks, exercise, and fresh air, along with lots of attention. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I'll always follow your instructions and make sure your dog is happy and well looked after.

“Kristina was so kind to come the day I contacted her to walk our dog Reggie. I have a cold and didn’t feel like going outside. I’m a caregiver for my husband so it’s important for me to take care of myself so I can take care of my husband. She was definitely a life saver!”

About: ♡ As an owner of 4 Jack Russell Terrier Dachshund mixes, and a big fluffy cat, rest assured I will care for and keep your pet happy and safe. My 11 y.o. dog, Jackson, 4 y.o. Nala, 2-1/2 y.o. puppies (x2) - CrackerJack and Willow, and my 16 y.o. cat, Kiki, love to make new friends! (Kiki likes the back of the house normally, but was raised with doggos, and she is declawed in the front, so she is happily welcoming new friends, too!) We would all love to add your beloved pet to our friend's list! We all love puppy playtime, walks and playing fetch:) ♡ I am an energetic, fun-loving furbaby lover with lots of treats for your special friend. Your pup will get personalized service from me without hesitation. As my favorite handler says, "Learning an animal's language is a must!" ~ Caesar Milan ♡Message me with any questions or concerns you might have as you are away, and I will be happy to snap pictures, capture special photos, and videos of your furbaby(ies) while you are away, too! ♡ TLC INCLUDED ♡ I previously worked for The American Red Cross and taught Pet CPR and First Aid, so rest assured your pet will be in great hands! • I am currently in Rover training to be a dog trainer. Out of the four modules required, I have one left to complete! I aim to get certified by end-July! As an Artist, I work from home, so I will be giving 24/7 care to your furbaby and give them special attention the entire day and night. 🐾 Typically, we all get up at 5.30-6.30a and I take them out, and we nap zzz for another hour or so. Then it's our walk time, and we like to go around the neighborhood as well as going to the boardwalk right next door for fun. We spend our days indoors and out and about, pending weather. My yard is not fenced, but I take Jackson and Nala and the puppies for a walk every morning, and outside as needed (every two.ish hours). There is a fire hydrant right across the street from my front door- puppy approval 10/10! I recently purchased a baby gate, to open up in my front yard, for the furs to pay outside in! My four love it! (About the size of an SUV or so.)

About: I have always had a dog in the home and have always been a big part of caring for them. I have volunteered at veterinary clinics since i was in 6th grade. I have assisted in surgery’s and births as well! I have two rescue dogs at home and one has spina bifida and is in diapers. It has been a joy to help them thrive in there unique way.

I have lots of experiences with raising puppies as well as caring for dogs in there special se our years. I would love to care for your dog in anyway! weather it’s running in the backyard , going for walks or taking naps in the sun! I am hoping to have a job over the summer but am unsure of what’s days. I should be free most days and will be able to spend quality time with your dog! I will treat your pets just like my very own! I will provide snuggles, walks, play time and love, whatever you and your pet needs!

About: I’ve worked in a dog boarding facility and in the daycare as well as being a dog bather, giving me firsthand experience with different breeds, behaviors, and special needs. I’m confident, attentive, and genuinely passionate about providing safe, loving care for every dog. I have open availability and am happy to accommodate your schedule to care for your pets whenever they need me! Anyway I can be of help is my pleasure. I provide trusted attentive care in clients’ homes, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications if needed, and giving lots of love and companionship. I love spoiling pets with affection, playtime, and care tailored to their unique personalities!

About: Hi! I have 2 dogs of my own, a 8mo lab, and a 5yo Australian Terrier. I grew up with dogs, cats, bunnies, gerbils, etc. A house without a pet is far too quiet for me. I have experience with reactive dogs, training pets, and caring for individual needs. No need to worry about medications, temperament or your personal preferences, I would want my pets to be taken care of just like I do when I’m home- I will ensure they are loved & cared for to the fullest extent. I am a wedding photographer so I prefer not to take sessions on the days I am actively photographing a wedding! I have those blocked off :) I am gentle kind and patient. Different homes have different routines and I understand how important it is to keep your animals routine. I will follow what you have set and send lots of pictures!

“Addy is training to be a dog trainer so she has been great to work with. She adores our Baxter and takes good care of him.”

About: I provide an in-home pet care experience for families with dogs, cats, and other pets. I started offering services professionally in 2016, through word-of-mouth, while located in Grand Rapids. On a personal level, our family included both dogs and cats while raising our children, and I grew up in a family with dogs and cats as well. I joined Rover to help me connect with pet families upon moving to a new location. My schedule will revolve around your fur babies while I'm caring for them. I am a former dog and cat owner, and I want your pets to feel comfortable and have fun while you are away. I currently work from home (or anywhere) part-time so have the flexibility to prioritize your pets' care. I provide attentive care in your home, allowing your pets to stay in familiar surroundings. I love walking dogs around the neighborhood or to nearby parks for daily exercise. At home I'll provide snuggles and love between feedings. Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I might watch for.

About: I have pet sit, walked, ran, leash trained, and mentally stimulated dogs of all breeds since a kid. Each dog needs all of these things in different ways and I am here to figure that out to insure your pup and you get the best from me. I used to be under the LLC Dogs On the Run Grand Rapids, but life (two children, moving to Holland etc) put that on hold. I am now so excited to start giving Hollands furry family members what they need! I would love to meet you and work with you and your dog to give them the energy and visit or stay that they need! I have ran and walked dogs no matter the weather. Visits and Stays will come with pictures, arrival and departure time, a map of where we walked/ran, and any notes of our adventure! Send me a message and lets talk about your furry friend today! I am currently working, but that can be worked around your schedule and your pets needs. I am always willing to find the best scenario and schedule! For those going on walks and runs, we will work with what you use and what works best for your dog. All dogs are different. Also, what you want from your dog is different as well. If they need some leash training we can do that as well. My car is dog friendly, so if ball at the park is what they need, or a swim, I am down for that as well! Variety is the spice of life! For stays, I do have a dog of my own who is completely pet friendly, so of course our home is too! Any questions, Ask away :)

About: I am a reliable, caring, trustworthy & high spirited lover of all things 4 legged and furry. While you are away, I will maintain your animals happiness by giving it the utmost love & compassion. I also love to encourage the zoomies. Whenever family or friends needed someone to watch their animals, I've always offered to help them out. Have been pet sitting for about 9 years on and off just because I simply like to help out & be around animals. Special skills include working with/understanding animals body language, dog training/handling skills, having an immense amount of patience & a substantial amount of empathy. I just really genuinely love animals (: Week wise; I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your animals. And for weekends, they are always free’d up . In clients home, depending on whichever instructions given; I am able to comfort them in home if they are a homebody dog. If needed to be created I can do that. If they enjoy a lot of stimulation & activity I can cater to those needs as well & can take your dog out and about for a day on the town.

About: Hi there! I’ve owned and loved dogs my entire life and can’t think of a better way to spend my days than taking care of your baby(ies) like they’re my own! On top of 10 years of owning and caring for my own dogs, I have 4 years of professional pet care experience. Open to elderly and medically complex dogs, and available for short notice bookings as well as most holidays. :) My schedule is pretty open, so I have all the time and attention in the world to give your furry friends. Open for both drop in visits and long term stays. I am happy to care for your pets in your home and, for longer stays, do some light housekeeping as well. In depth instructions for your pet(s) are my best friend; there’s nothing I want more than to know exactly how to make your baby feel their most comfortable. Don’t be afraid to go into detail!

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs my entire life, with hands-on experience supporting pets through all life stages and needs. Whether your pet requires medication management, specialized diet adherence, mobility assistance, or extra patience due to age or disability, I approach each animal as an individual deserving attentive, compassionate care. I don’t just follow instructions, I notice subtle changes in behavior, anticipate needs, and communicate proactively with owners so you have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently working part time as a painter, part time with Rover, and volunteering for Harbor Humane, but worry not. I can make my schedule completely open for any pet care needs. I will rarely be unavailable. I prioritize your pet’s routine and comfort above all. Whether that means leash walks through your neighborhood, supervised backyard play in their familiar space, or respecting crating schedules you’ve established, I adapt to what works for your pet, not what’s easiest for me. I ensure fresh water is always available, meals are served on time, and any special instructions (door security, alarm codes, plant watering) are followed exactly. Beyond the basics, I make time for real connection like belly rubs, play sessions, or just calm companionship for anxious pets. You’ll come home to a pet who felt cared for, not just looked after.
