Dog Walkers in Hope, MI

“Good communication and reliable. Madison has been taking excellent care of my doggo 🙂”

“Austin is able to handle anything the pooches throw at him. My Victor is a ball of energy but Austin made him super calm and chill right away. I trust him.”

“Neive is absolutely wonderful with dogs. She goes out of her way to take care of them. Especially with nervous, and shy dogs. She has a way with animals and you can just tell. She is very mindful of keeping them happy, exercised, and well-fed. We don’t ever worry when she’s around! My dogs love her and they are quite picky! Highly recommend.”

“Shannon's love for animals is unconditional, she loves them as if they are her children. If you want your pet to be loved and cared for and have the peace of mind knowing your pet will be in good hands while you're gone, then Shannon is the sitter you want! She treats animals with respect and gives them more attention than her husband!”

About: I’ve been a Vet Tech for well over 20yrs. Animals are my life and I treat all animals as if they were my own pet. At the moment I’ve stepped away from working in clinics, so all my free time will be focused on my clients and their pets needs. I have a wealth of experience and knowledge when it comes to dogs and cats and I will care for your babies as I care for my own.

About: I love all kinds of dogs! I have a maltese shihtzu mix that I have been taking care of for 9 plus years. I love the outdoors! I am used to taking dogs outside to use the restroom, and I also have experience with pad trained dogs and dogs who are still being house broken. The only dogs I cannot watch are rottweilers, and dobermans. Unfortunately, on average the risks are higher with these breeds. I am a teacher. Since I do not teach during summer vacation, I am highly available during the summer, morning to night. During the school year (Sept-May) I am available to walk your dog and house sit early in the morning before school (5-7 am), after school is let out (4:30 pm-late), or all day/night on weekends. I love to give lots of snuggles to keep your furry friend happy and feeling loved! I am a big advocate for routine and a pet’s emotional/mental stability, so you can rely on me to be timely whether that means house-sitting, feeding, or going on walks with your dogs.

“Jimmy does a wonderful job caring for our dogs! He is observant and picks up on the subtle clues that they need to go out, need a rest, need a stone cleared from between their paw pads, or just need a treat. The dogs absolutely love him!”

“Amy is one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever had. My Husky Shepherd mix is not an easy one to care for, and Amy is loving, responsible and totally connected to my dog. He loves spending time with her, going on walks and having fun together. I have no reservation recommending Amy as an excellent caregiver to your precious pups! She is also extremely trustworthy if you need a dog sitter that can also house sit at the same time.”

“Abi was wonderful walking our foster dog Linus. She took my reservation on short notice when we ended up taking Linus in, and was very understanding that he did not know how to walk on his leash yet. I was so relieved that she handled him with care!”

“Super nice and great with my dog. Also very timely and kind in our communication. She arrived on time too during the scheduled times.”

About: I have taken care and owned dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. I have always loved animals and have experience with all sizes and ages. Friends and neighbors have relied on me to watch, feed and check on their pets while they are away. I always make sure their pets are safe, happy and getting everything they need! I have had senior dogs and more recently puppies as well, so I have trained and worked with all ages. I am a mom of 3 and I currently have 4 pets, so I am used to caring for others. I started my own photography business in Midland, so I get to make my schedule and hours from home. A flexible schedule allows me to be open for drop-in visits. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have a safe environment for your pet when you are away from the home. Pets are family and I want to help keep them safe, happy and cared for while you are away. If you have any special needs or a pet needs extra attention, let me know so I can give them the care they need!

About: Dogs have surrounded me since I was 5! I grew up around toy poodle mixes, so I’m used to playing with little bundles of energy and currently, I have one Goldendoodle and one Labradoodle that I love like children. My favorite doggo activities are playing fetch, kayaking, and walking in a park. Giving belly rubs are a must, but I'm best known for my ear scratches. I have experience with dogs needing medication, post-surgery care, or stitch care. I've taken care of ear infections and maintained overall grooming as well. Making dogs comfortable is my first priority followed by fulfilling any needs and keeping the smiles going. Feel free to contact me anytime with any questions/inquiries more specific to your pet! My schedule is very flexible and I'm looking to take advantage of the fresh air with your little/big one! I work part-time from home and part-time from an office so I can take breaks for walking/home visits throughout the day when planned. I'm generally available from 6am-9pm. I prefer a routine, however, I'm always understanding and happy to receive messages of spontaneous trips + random needs for my services! Because I go to you, I will let you explain what makes your dog most comfortable for walking/visits. I always have a leash + poop bags on hand, and let the pups get in all their sniffs for a proper walk! I also have confidence in gaining control of a situation if a dog ran off or was trained off-leash since I too have my dogs trained off-leash. I call for their attention by whistling most often.

“Super kind and great with our dog! And on time for her appointment!”

“Thank you Jenna for another great visit with our fur family! I never have to worry about anything when you are here!”

“Awesome sitter. We had her check on our house and cat. Good communication and friendly. I text her and asked if she would bring my mail inside for me too and she did.”

About: I have taken care of dogs as well as helping take care of rabbits. I love animals and want to be able to spend more time with them. I have classes each day till 3pm but I am available in the morning and afternoon to evening to come over and give well deserved attention to your furry cuties. I makes sure they get enough time outside with walks and play, as well as making sure they are fed the correct food and amounts according to their diet.

“My sister Maddie and I have had dogs our entire lives. She loves our dogs very much and always goes the extra mile for them. Maddie loves every dog that she crosses paths with and is never afraid to approach them and show her love. Maddie is attentive, responsible, and loves taking care of animals. She's used to handling cows every day, so she'll have no problem taking care of a big dog!”

About: I have had pets for years. Friends and family have asked me to watch their pets over the years as they see I am caring and compassionate with my own two dogs: Ari, Golden Retriever Mix (11), and Dash a Border Collie (3). Both dogs have gone through obedience training and Dash is learning agility. My schedule is extremely flexible. I am available for early morning, afternoons, and evening appointments. Reach out and we can see if our schedules will work. I am friendly, caring, and can take dogs for a walk or for drop-in visits as needed. Please let me know if there are any special needs, and I will be sure to accommodate during my visit. I look forward to meeting your pup.

“I have known Jeremy not only as someone who takes great care of my 2 dogs and cat but witnessed his love, care and devotion to his own treasured dog. No one could hope to have a more caring and meticulous caregiver for their pet family than Jeremy. My dogs require daily medicine and his attention to detail helped me feel confident in leaving my pups in his care. He let me know how things were going in my absence and filled me in on how the weekend went for them all. Jeremy is so easy to talk to and made me feel absolutely confident in leaving my pets with him. I hate leaving my dogs in a kennel and I now feel that I have the best situation I could hope for my pets If you and your pets get to know him- no one else will do!”

“Angie took care of our two dogs while my husband and I were out of town receiving medical treatment. Knowing that my dogs were being taken care of gave me one less thing to stress about, which I appreciated during that time. She sent us pictures and updates and my dogs could not have been happier. And neither could I!”
