Dog Walkers in Houghton, MI

“Cassidy did a great job walking my 4 yr. old golden retriever while I was out of town for several days. Logistics were a bit complicated but Cassidy handled all the details extremely well and communicated with me in a timely manner. Cassidy clearly loves dogs and enjoys taking care of them. I will definitely hire her again in the future. Thank you, Cassidy!”

“Caitlin is the warmest, most caring person. Her love and devotion to her pets is remarkable! She has taken care of my cats and dogs with the same tender love she gives to her own. She has even helped me adopt my last three dogs, and picked winners every time! She is also fabulous with horses. Animal care is her passion. She is an excellent choice for Rover!”

About: My husband (Joshua) and I do this together but I’m the main contact! I've owned various types of pets all my life and have been dog sitting since I was just a kid. I have always had at least one dog, but have experience with cats, small animals, and birds as well. I love getting to meet new faces, since you can't keep them all! I currently have a 70 lb dog who loves making new friends. Though dogs are my favorite, I’m happy to watch your cat, hamster, rabbit, bird, etc! Rover pricing can be weird for other pets so let me know and I can work with you. I’m available to watch your pet in my home most of the time, and I’m happy to visit your home when staying at mine isn’t feasible! I’m pretty flexible and accommodating, so just ask if you have questions. I do this with my free time/ weekends. I can sometimes be flexible with dates I’m marked as unavailable. Just ask! I aim to be as flexible as possible, just ask that you give a heads up as soon as you know there’s been a change! Whenever possible, I like my dog to meet yours in a neutral area first. I might have multiple pets at my place but I will always make sure they get along with others before booking! I like to let the dogs play but will always step in if needed. If they don’t get along I’m prepared to separate them and give separate attention. If you’re worried about your dog getting along with others, or being without you— make sure you tell me. We may want to schedule a daycare appointment first to be sure it’s a good fit. My husband is an additional set of hands when I may need them! This is my thing but he’s around most of the time and may help when/if needed. I've been professionally dog-sitting and caring for all kinds of pets for a few years now. We have a spacious yard and are in a good area for walks as well. While we don’t have a fence currently, we put our dog out with a secure cable tie-out and have never had any problems with her or other dogs this way.

“Suz is a fantastic pet sitter. She watched my beloved Tiger and did a great job doing so. She loves pets! And Tiger loved her! I've known Suz her entire life. She is a very smart, responsible, loving lady.”

“Justina was exceptional. My pup has some issues and she handled him with ease and he warmed up to her quickly. She made scheduling and communicating a breeze. She has my highest recommendation!”

“Audrey is an exceptional dog sitter. She is trustworthy, responsible and highly capable of taking care of my high energy, two year old, pit bull rescue. While she cares for my pup she provides plenty of exercise, love and mental stimulation for my dog. I always feel comfortable leaving my pup with Audrey because I know she will be very well taken care of. I highly recommend hiring Audrey for a pet sitter!”

“Happy that Aubry was able to take Bones on her daily walks during our busy schedule yesterday. She was on time and very kind!”

About: I’ve been blessed with the privilege of being raised and taught how to nourish/love animals of all kinds big or small young and old. So it’s always been a passion of mine to care for animals around me even if they aren’t necessarily mine, although I believe in treating every and all animals as if they were my own. I’ve done everything from walking, playing, bathing, taking care and raising liters of puppies to loving and nourishing them until their time. The animal kingdom is also a big part of my family’s ,family, as in rats, dogs, cats, fish, snakes, hermit crabs, and more. So I would love to continue to grow my family with ur help! My typical week is very free with me only working Fridays my schedule for every other day is free to help care for your pets. I’m happy to pet sit at your home for your convenience. I also offer overnight care for when you and your family decide to take trips but have to leave your fur baby behind. Although your fur baby would feel like they’re on vacation as well, as I’m very young and energetic and have many pet friends that would love to provide company and share play dates. I have a six foot fenced in yard with a double gated entrance. My home consists of four children form 4-12 yrs old who all were raised in a house of pets so they understand the importance of caring for animals. At your home I would follow the rules and regulations given for the safety of the pet and myself. I also have no problem with putting animals in their kennels/rooms if instructed to do so under certain circumstances.

“Alison has watched my dogs for me on many occasions and always takes wonderful care of them! My dogs love her as she provides lots of attention, cuddles, walks and hikes. She also is a great at communicating with me by phone and sends lots of pix and updates. I absolutely recommend her to anybody who needs a pet sitter!”
