Dog Walking Holt

About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a kid I would help out friend, family members, and neighbors with their pets. I've had a lot of experience caring for all sorts of animals through means of daily check-in's, going on walks, and overnight stays! I am currently a student at MSU with a somewhat flexible schedule during the week and I am available in mornings on saturday and sundays, I am also available sunday nights. I live with two dogs who would definitely keep your dog some very friendly company, they also love cats as well! I love taking my own dog on walks and there is a nice little park very close to my house that I love to walk my dog to.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I've owned and cared for a variety of pets over the years and have experience with animals of different ages, personalities, and care needs. One of the most rewarding parts of my pet-care journey has been fostering. I'm currently a pet care specialist and foster with Capital Area Humane Society (CAHS) and have also fostered for other shelters in the past. Through fostering, I've cared for pets who were shy, energetic, recovering from medical procedures, learning social skills, or simply looking for a safe place to land before finding their forever homes. I also have two dogs who don't currently live with me, but I absolutely love spending time with them whenever I can. Whether it's long walks, outdoor adventures, or hiking local trails, I'm happiest when I have a furry companion by my side. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I work shorter shifts at Capital Area Humane Society, so my schedule allows me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive care for pets throughout the week. I make it a priority to plan my day around the pets I'm caring for so they receive the attention, exercise, potty breaks, meals, and companionship they need. Whether your pet thrives on a structured routine or is more laid-back, I'm happy to work with their individual schedule and needs. Communication is important to me, so you can also expect regular updates, photos, and check-ins while you're away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. My approach is centered on safety, patience, and positive interactions. As a foster caregiver, I've worked with animals from many different backgrounds, which has taught me how to read body language, respect boundaries, and help pets feel comfortable in new situations. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, routines, and household rules. I believe every pet deserves individualized care and attention. My goal is to provide a safe, stress-free experience where both pets and owners feel confident and comfortable. You can count on me to treat your pets with the same love and care I would give my own.

About: My full name is Olivia Vera Love but you can call me Vera! I’ve taken care of animals of every kind ever since I could walk. Henry was my first dog and he was an English Setter. Ollie was my first cat and he came from a local barn. My mom taught me how to care for their every need and extend that towards other dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, guineas, and goats. I have walked, fed, bathed, brushed, and worked with special needs dogs, chickens, reptiles, and elderly cats. At one point I was taking care of four cats, three dogs, and twenty birds. I'm confident in my experience with animals to leave a positive impact on them. Both of my mom’s dogs are older dachshunds with special needs. I regularly dog sit a lovely miniature Australian Shephard and cat sit a Blue Russian cat on my own time. I also currently own two rats, Cheez-it, and Cake, and they love the Australian Shephard. Im a recent graduate looking for work so I'm flexible at the moment. Routine is two walks a day in the morning and night. I am looking for a full time position so while I currently am able to provide full time support in the future I will be able to provide part time support. I strive to give patience and understanding. I react to the needs of the pet or pet owner and do what needs to be done to do what will make the pet happy. My love for animals is primarily through my love of their capacity for empathy. Through my experiences I have also learned to be stern and to stand my ground with pets to work with them and to make them as comfortable as possible.

“Thank you so much Ashley!! He absolutely loves you!! And Tommy made an appearance today ! We will definitely have you again 🐾❤️”

About: Hey everybody! My name is Alex and I am very grateful and eager to be apart of a business that helps dogs and their loving owners. I have come to learn that pet care is quite important in my ten plus years of experience with dogs. Years ago, I was a partner in an organization that rescued dogs from kill shelters and then found them safe and loving forever homes. SO I am no stranger to dogs and good quality care. If you have any questions for me in terms of my experience or services, please do not hesitate to call. Any age from little rambunctious pups to easy going older dogs, I am happy to oblige to making life easier for you and your dog!

My dogs like to go on walks every 4-6 hours, so that would be exercise!

About: I have taken care of many pets over the years from dogs, cats, rabbits and to even birds too, as well as caring for their baby versions too. Including recent experience in helping with a whelping of a litter of Doberman pups. I love going on walking and love it even more having a furry companion tagging along with me, I walk them rain or shine. I'm currently available to fit in pet care into my schedule as it arrives. I am open to everything but boarding right now,so house sitting, drop-in visits, doggy day care, and walks only at this time. My availability is currently open from weekdays to weekends being mornings or evenings. I care for pets as owners request, changes will be made only when pets behavior requires it. I live in an pet friendly apartment complex where your pet will be allowed to roam inside my home and have toys to chew and play with. They will have plenty of exercise according to the amount of time they are left in my care. I also like to send updates to pet owners being pictures and texts of their pet during their time my care.

About: I’m a mom to 3 kiddos and 2 big fur babies. I work from home as an insurance agent and love snuggling and playing with my pups. I have always had an animal in my home and am very patient with animals. Prior to becoming an insurance agent I worked in direct care for 15+ years. I am compassionate and loving and truly care about all living creatures. I work from home, and have the flexibility to clock in and out as needed. I can be available anytime and work within your pups schedule. I have a fence in backyard and two loving babies who will keep your pup company. I can also keep my dogs in a separate area of the home and allow your dog to run freely if they don’t do as well with others. I am clean and considerate and will always love on your baby like I love on mine.

About: All my life I have been taking care of dogs, whether it’s puppies or senior dogs. I find dogs interesting and I love watching them in their natural setting. I can definitely tune into your dog’s body language and give them what they need. And my friends and family are always asking me for help with their pets! As of right now I’m available Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday all day! Then Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday I’m only available until two. This will soon change! I don’t offer pets in my home, but I will be glad to come to yours and take care of all your pets needs! If you have pets that require special care, even medication, I will be happy to accommodate that. Or if they just need playtime or to use the bathroom. I’m happy to do whatever you need!

“This was the first walk with Jessa. She was on time. She’s quite pleasant. Rhys seemed to take to her right off and some initial tugging I think they established the rhythm intend to set up another next week. I have every reason to believe this is a great beginning.”

About: I have always had a dog since I was a little girl & our little boy is getting older & want to give more love to other little dogs I am a business owner that works from home & available most weekends & Mon-wed on select weeks . I can let the dogs hang with me in my personal office or they can roam the house. And if need to let out energy they can go outside in fenced yard. We have a fenced in back yard & we have one 14 year old Yorkshire terrier who likes company. He naps most the time so if your fur baby needs to get out our back yard is fenced

About: I love all kinds of animals! Growing up, I had dogs, chickens, birds and even turtles as pets! It gave me the experience and knowledge of being an animal care giver. I love to foster pups from different rescue groups from Michigan AND Puerto Rico (my home country). It is a great feeling to know you are somehow contributing to safe a life in desperate need. That’s how I adopted my recent baby girl Nova. She’s a tropical girl from Puerto Rico, just like mommy ❤️ I also adopted my baby boy kitty called Mishu, and from the photos you can tell he’s 100% a momma’s boy. Lol I’m open to handle your babies’ medicines or to complete any special task. Just let me know what you need. I’m here to help in any way I can! Working from home allows me to have a flexible schedule for potty breaks and playtime. Also, my baby girl, Nova would LOVE to have new friends to play with during the day. :) I have a big backyard which Nova loves. Even though it’s not completely fenced (2 sides out of 4 are fenced), we have been able to train Nova to stay around us. We also have a super long leash that we could use if you want, to make sure your pup doesn’t run away. Additionally, one of our great neighbors allows us to take Nova to her fenced backyard and have some playtime with her dogs as well. If you allow me, we could spend some playtime in our neighbor’s yard. :)
