Dog Walkers in Houghton Lake Heights, MI

About: I have always had a love for animals and have three pups of my own. I am a stay at home mom and watch everyone’s dogs (and kids). We love going for walks and running around in the backyard! I am a stay at home mom so taking care of dogs would be my only job other than being a mom to my two children. We go for two walks a day and spend lots of time outside! In my home we have a fully fenced in yard for lots of running around and play time. When we are inside we have a doggie gate so that no dogs are running over the baby.

“Erin did a fantastic job with our puppy while her availability aligned! Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve always had animals in my house growing up. Anything from fish and turtles, hamsters, and many cats and dogs! I will never live in a home without an animal. I’m available any day of the week to walk, groom, or even board them overnight. I will just need a day ahead to note it. My yard is un-fenced, but I live in a small neighbor hood that is not busy. I also go outside with my dog to go potty and play.

“We used Kallie to walk our dog while we were at our cabin on vacation and away for the day. She was on time and provides great service. She sent me pics of their walk and a map of where they went. I recommend her to others and will be using her again in the future.”

About: Since I was a child I have had or taken care of puppies/dogs. I don't just "say" I love dogs.....I truly am a dog lover and they know it so they respond well to me. I am very affectionate and no I do not mind getting my face licked off! I took dog obedience classes and know the correct way to speak when being firm. I am a "furbaby" Grandma and I house and dog sit for my adult children when needed. Not just because I am mom but because they know how truly great I am with dogs and what a dog person I am. I will love and take care of your furbaby too! I have a completely open schedule and do not have any obligations on a daily basis that would inhibit any pet sitting or walking request. I would feed, bathe, give medication, walk, and any other instructions given by each owner for their particular pet(s). My whole visit is 100% for your pet so whatever you request of me is the service you will get.

About: For over 15 years, I've dedicated myself to fostering dogs, gaining extensive experience with all breeds, large and small. My passion lies in building trust and genuine relationships with each individual dog, understanding that every pup needs unique attention and companionship. I've supported countless dogs through challenging times, including post-surgical recovery for puppies and severe medical conditions, always offering unwavering love. I view dogs as cherished members of the family who look to me for care and guidance. Their safety is paramount; I'm always prepared to protect my pups, even if it means putting myself at risk At the moment I am a behavioral technician and stay at home dog dad. I take care autistic children and care for any pups when you need me. I have a backyard for your dog to play and one dog of my own to keep them company. The dogs are allowed to relax wherever they like, especially the couch!

“Josh has been so helpful and kind in walking our dog, Benny. We have a shy pup and Josh has done such a great job making Benny comfortable and creating a safe environment for him. We really appreciate him!”

About: I have been around animals since a very young age. I grew up having to care for my dogs, cats, horses, cows, and sheep! I participated in 4-H for 10 years showing both cattle and sheep. Throughout high school and college I worked at a doggy day care, that cared for both cats and dogs, either for day visits or overnight stays. I was responsible for making sure the animals were as comfortable as possible. This involved cleaning their kennels daily, feeding, and medications. Later, I worked as a veterinary assistant for 6 months. I have house/dog and cat sat for various friends and family members throughout the years as well. I am very flexible! I am more than happy to stay at your home while pet sitting or simply come by to care for the pet a couple times a day. Open to working with you to figure out the best solution for your pet. Unfortunately my current lease does not allow pets. I am more than happy to work with you and figure out a schedule/plan that would fit your needs! While I am at a clients house I would stay in good communication with them. In the past, I have sent daily pet photos to the client and sending them updates whenever possible.

About: Hello there :) I would love to help out with your fur baby with walks, playtime and lots of love! I am a nurse and my schedule varies each week but will have a lot of time to help out your family. I have a puppy of my own and understand the importance of everyday walks and much needed play time. I have always had a dog growing up. I am comfortable with all size and breeds of dogs. I really do have a passion for dogs and wish I could have another dog. I am available weekdays and weekends. If the calendar says I am able to watch your dog, I am but the times during the day change everyday due to work! I do have 2 dogs in the house! 2 labs very friendly. Gunner 3 years old and Sadie Mae 6 months. I am a RN and I work 4 days a week. On my days off I am always on adventure with my dog Sadie. On the days I work, she’s at home with toys and we go on a walk once I’m back. I have a 1.5 year old lab, Sadie Mae. She loves new dogs and is fixed. She can be chill and than she had energy.

About: I have had pets of my own for the past 38 years, since I was 12 years old. I also have a degree in biology and chemistry and have worked in animal hospitals and zoos. My husband, Scott, has had pets all his life. We treat our pets with the love and care that family members deserve, and we take our responsibility to them very seriously. Currently, we have a 2 year old black lab who absolutely loves all other animals, and a 14 year old cat who mostly sleeps in quiet, dark places. Our dog, Rosie, is always looking for new friends and is very submissive with them. She just wants to play and snuggle! Our children are grown and help with the care of them. Our house is full of pet lovers! We are very active and love to go for hikes, and we always keep dogs on their leash on the trails. We're happy to take your doggy to the dog park, as well, if you request it. You can have total peace of mind while your pup stays with us! I currently work part time and Scott, my husband, is a teacher and has summers off. I'm home a lot during the entire year, and we're both home on weekends. We have a fenced in backyard for running around and playing fetch. We have a large house and a fenced in yard where our dog, Rosie, loves to run around or playing fetch with us. We regularly go for walks in the neighborhood and hikes in the woods or on the beach. We love to take Rosie to the dog park, but will skip it if you're not comfortable with it. Scott is a teacher and has weekends and all summer free. Stephanie works part time, mostly from home and is at home most of the time during the week and is also available weekends. We have a large fenced yard and a wonderful Labrador retriever to keep your fur baby happy! We love giving dogs love and attention! We also love to take walks if that is something your dog enjoys.

“Shawna. I can’t thank you enough for your energy, confidence and overall amazing personality! Thanks for helping me out in a bind, being flexible, and so understanding of my dear yet anxious pup. Appreciate you and would definitely hire again!”

About: Being raised on a dairy farm I’ve been around all sorts of animals, big and small. From kittens, chickens, calves, dogs to full size cows I have done it all. I’m a proud owner of two pure bred English Mastiffs, we just whelped our first ever litter of pups! I’m looking to fill spare time in my day doing what I love most! I have always had so much love for all animals. Let me help you by loving your fur babies while you are busy! I’m available almost all the time. Currently I’m a stay at home mom caring for my 3 year old and 2 gentle giants. Weekdays, weekends, nights or mornings, I can be there for you! I have a very large yard(field) and two gentle giants to keep your babies content and happy. Look forward to a clean, exercised and fed pup when you get home! I have a giant crate also if needed.

About: With 5 years of previous veterinary medicine experience, I bring a high level of knowledge and compassion to each visit. I’ve handled pets of various ages, sizes, and temperaments comfortably. I am able to administer medications, monitor health, and give extra attention to pets with special needs. I’ll make sure that your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I am currently finishing my college degree in Psychology, and my classes are entirely online. I have plenty of flexibility for drop in visits and dog walking during the week. If your pet is typically fed/walked/etc at a certain time, let me know! I will do my best to keep your pet’s routine, I find that they are less stressed with as little change as possible. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable as possible. Even in their own home, pets can get nervous around a stranger. For this reason, I am willing to schedule a meet and greet with you beforehand. I was a “fear-free” certified professional, so I have plenty of experience with anxious pets!
