Dog Walkers in Kalkaska, MI

“Kara was amazing when I needed a last minute dog walker. She came everyday on time and communicated when she picked Moose up and dropped him off. She even wrote notes about the walk! I could not have found a better/sweeter friend for Moose that week! Thank you Kara!”

“Shannon is incredible! She is super patient with our pup, who needs an extra minute to greet people. She also is great at keeping him entertained with good play for his rambunctious personality and gives him lots of exercise. She's very flexible with our schedule, trustworthy in our home, and always goes the extra mile. Sometimes I think our pup likes her more than us! I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Brandon was amazing! He even came over A-day early to meet Thora before their walk the next day. He sent me pictures when he picked her up for the walk and when he brought her back, even gave her a treat, And made sure her food bowl was full! Love the pics and the description of each walk! Would definitely recommend Brandon to take care of your fur babies!”

“I can’t recommend Erin highly enough. My Yorkie and Peek A Poo love her! I love her, she is punctual, reliable, communicative, organized, and a very kind person. Our experience has been nothing but positive!”

“Hello! I have known Bernice quite literally her whole life, and have always known her to be a pet lover. Her whole family, actually. They have dogs and guinea pigs, a rabbit, a hamster, snakes, lizards, big ole fish, and sugar gliders! Whenever I go out of town for extended periods I leave my pet rats with Bernice, and I don't have to think about their safety or care whatsoever when they are with her. They always come back to me happy and healthy! She is loving, kind, understanding, patient, driven, with not only animals but people as well. I don't think you'd be able to find a better person to help care for pets! I incredibly highly recommend her and have 100% trust and faith in her to take care of these pets as if they were her own.”

“Jen is a loving dog owner and treats all dogs as her own. Her Shepard has high energy so she is used to even the most unruly of animals. She can keep up with any four-legger so long as the leash is strong enough. Jen will be on time, no late meals for your pooch. I would leave my beagle with her for a week if needed.”

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I have not always had a living situation where I was able to have my own pets, and my friends and family relied on me to care for their animals when they went on holiday. I have experience with special needs dogs, and I currently have a senior dog who needs oral medication, eye/ear drops, and other allergy-related care. I have a part-time job as a private tutor for math/science, which happens after school most days. This provides me a flexible schedule allowing for multiple drop-in visits per day for feeding/playtime/outside time for your pet(s). I am a responsible middle-aged adult, entrusted to care for students in a classroom for the last 25 years. I will treat your home and your pet(s) with the same respect I have given to my school/students, making sure that when you return, your home is clean and in the same condition you left it. I am familiar with how to use security systems, and I will take proper precautions with locking doors, windows, etc.

“You could not go wrong choosing Jess to help care for your sweet pets! She loves going for walks with dogs and makes sure they are safe and happy the entire time. My sweet Lucy could walk for hours. Jess never hesitated taking the long way to Lucy’s favorite tree or a detour to the lake for a quick drink and a little rest. I highly recommend Jessica because she truly cares about every pet she meets as soon as they lock eyes. She will go above and beyond to ensure you and your four legged kiddo are happy after each visit!”

“There are few people who love animals as much as Katie does. Since she was young, her pets (gold fish, gerbils, hamsters, cats, dogs and the occasional guinea pig) have become family members to her. She's fiercely protective of all animals and I has demonstrated over the years to be an excellent caregiver. She's organized, responsible, dependable and a great decision maker. I believe she would make an excellent pet sitter and apply this sense of care and love to any animal she comes across, including your pet.”

“Megan has been an outstanding animal provider and care taker for all 15 years I have known her. All animals who come into her home always get the best care and attention. Her home is clean and provides lots of space outside for physical activity and her routine is perfect. I trust her with my own high energy/maintenance German Shepherd when I’m away on farrier trips, and he always returns home well fed and happy.”

“Stephanie has taken care of our golden retriever, Penny, several times. Penny was well exercised and lovingly tended to. Stephanie is definitely one of the best dog caretakers we’ve ever hired!”

“Ok. For as Long as I can remember Madisyn she has been the most caring and loving person for not only dogs but for any animal that walks the earth. She told me she would have a farm and take care of hundreds of animals specifically to dogs. Your animal in her hands would be the best and most responsible and comfortable feeling that your precious animal was in the best hands possible. Please consider her. You will not regret it. Thank you.”

“Jill has a huge heart for loving animals. She has rescued several animals that otherwise wouldn't have been adopted at all, because of a physical condition, or age. She talks about her animals all the time, takes photos of them, even sends them video messages when she is away from them. Jill would be an excellent person to choose to care for your pet because of the love she shows her own pets, and any pet she comes in contact with. She understands that some animals are shy and they need time to approach her on their own; she NEVER invades space or makes an animal uncomfortable. She respects all pets and is very thorough in her care of them. And the pets all love her! She has a calming presence that the animals can sense. Jill is perfect to care for your animals!!!”

About: I have had a true love for animals since I was a little girl growing up on our farm. Animals have always been a big part of my life, whether it's my own, or caring for others, from cats up to horses and everything in between. I believe that a house is not complete without the company of a pet. And I couldn't imagine not ever having one! I currently have a lovebird,named Peaches, a German Shepherd, named Yogi Bear, an iguana, named Yoshi and 3 cats, named Bubbles, Mr. MaGoo, and Uncle Fester. I am currently in school studying to become a Veterinary technician. So as you can see animals have been and will always be a huge part of my life. I can not wait to meet yours! I work from home and do most of my schooling from home also so my availability is pretty much wide open. I am very flexible when it comes to working around others schedule. Let's just say that my pets are very spoiled and they know what to expect from me on a daily basis. I like to keep a routine as much as possible, so that they know when it's time to eat and have snacks and lots of playtime and interacting with me and others. I believe in a very clean and safe environment for them.

About: I am and always have been an avid pet lover, so I will treat your baby with the love he/she deserves. I’m skilled in bathing dogs if that’s ever needed. I’m also very good with puppies, and relatively good with senior pets and giving them the love they need. I work part-time at Wendy’s on Division at varying times, so we will have to discuss when I can walk if you live in Traverse City. I will always be able to sit though. I’m respectful of the surroundings of the animal, and I will make sure they are comfortable around me, as well as the human that loves them.

“She has a wonderful personality! Very loving a caring when it comes to people and pets. Always loves to be active and involved with dogs and cats alike! I’ve known sonya for some time and I can honestly say I have the upmost confidence in leaving my pets in her care!”

“Mia was very friendly and flexible with our schedule. We had a wedding to attend so we were camping in Traverse City and had to leave our dog alone all day for 2 days. Mia was able to come to our site and walk Nala several times each day for 2 days. Nala loved seeing her being able to get out of the rv for a while. I would recommend her.”
