Dog Walkers in Kent City, MI

“Izzy was great and our pups loved her! We reached out to Izzy last minute, as we needed someone to let our pups out/walk them while we were out of town unexpectedly. She came over and met them both ahead of time, and our very timid rescue dog immediately took to Izzy. She was on time each day, and let me know when she arrived and was leaving. She made sure their food and water was full, and locked the house when she left. We will definitely be reaching out to her next time we need some help!”

“My Jesper loves Ross, he's dependable, on time and seems to enjoy dogs. My dog is over 100 pounds at 18 months, kind of a handful, Ross handles him beautifully”

“Kerrigan did a great job walking our dog while we were on. Action for a week.”

“Karen is amazing. She walks our large dog twice a week. She has been an amazing help and it would be hard to find anyone else that does a better job. We definitely recommend!”

“Megan has such a great way with dogs, and goes the extra mile—cleaning up dog doo, putting on our dog’s coat on chilly days, and walking her regularly, even in blustery weather. She is so flexible and responsive!”

“So happy with how wonderful Reyna and the girls love on Hattie and Simon. They are treated like part of the family, allowed in the house like they are their own pets. Large outdoor spaces for them to play and lots of hugs and cuddles.”

“Alissa was so wonderful with our Aussie puppy! She is very kind and sweet. We came home to a happy puppy every day she walked her for us. Will definitely book again!”

“Emily was great with my dog Griz! She gave him the time he needed each day for his walk, and she was caring and attentive. I will definitely be asking for her help again!”

“Lauren is exceptional with cats. She looked after my cat Santiago for a week while I was away for work. After seeing her interact with Santiago I had no doubt that I left him in her loving, capable hands. I will definitely use her services in the future.”

“Lexi is always amazing with my girls! They love when she comes to walk/stay with them. She is very patient with them and is always excellent when it comes to communicating with me. I would recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding pet care!”

“Susie understands each animal had its own needs and routines. I have trusted her with caring for my Great Dane/Lab mix dog for the past 9 years. She always follows our instructions for his care. I am confident my dog is in good hands while I am away. I highly recommend Susie and so does my dog!”

“Dear sir/ma'am, I have know Mark for the last 18 years. We both work closely together. He is the Lt. In charge of the canine unit. When I started at our agency we had one K-9 unit. Mark is the reason the unit was expanded to 8 K-9 teams. Over the years I have observed Mark train, not only our agencies K-9's, but also train and assist hundreds of K-9 teams from across North America. I have been a K-9 handler for over ten years. Mark is the person who trained me and made me the handler that I am today. Marks style of training is based on motivating the animal to do the task through reward(toy/play/food/praise). I have never seen Mark hit or kick an animal. Mark works with selecting dogs so they can be used as police canines, but are also able to be brought out and interact with the public. His ability to read a dog and get the dog to perform is amazing. Mark has always been extremely professional. He is of what I would say is high moral character. Mark sets the bar that the rest of the people around him try and achieve. While being at the highest level himself, he is always working to encourage other people and bring the best out of them. Mark is a great person on all levels of his life. I would have no problems leaving dogs with him, and have in the past. Mark would be a great asset to your program.”

“Kelly is a wonderful, caring person, that loves animals to the fullest. She’s also very knowledgeable about pet care since she has worked at a vet clinic. If you need someone who actually cares, choose Kelly.”

About: I've been taking care of dogs my entire life, I'm comfortable handling both aggressive and reactive dogs as well as dogs who need medication. I have experience in dog training as well I'm looking to make this and dog training my full time gig, Im available around the clock and I'm also comfortable staying in house to keep your fur babies in an environment they're comfortable in I treat every dog like my own. If your dog stays here they'll be on a crate and rotate schedule with my own dogs and I live on 2 acres the dogs get to explore on a longline

About: I have loved and owned dogs my entire life. Growing up we had two dogs, Charlie and Tuffy. As an adult, I raised two dogs, Sammy and Gracie, both lived until they were fifteen years old. I have a lot of experience and love for puppy training, playtime, long walks and senior care. I worked for a Community Outreach Program in Kent County, providing services for thirty three years and have recently retired. I am looking forward to using my free time and flexibility to do something I really enjoy. To me there is nothing more enjoyable than being around dogs. I will take care of your pet with love and respect. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone you don't know. You can trust that your pet is in very good hands with me.

About: If my husband would let me, I’d buy a zoo (come on powerball). I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve never met a pet that I didn’t want to spoil and cuddle. My daughter calls me a “stay at home pet mom”. Most days I’m home all day, with the exception of an occasional errand, appointment or maybe a date night. Recently our 13 year old Staffordshire terrier/boxer- Zoey, went to doggie Heaven. She was a gentle soul who we miss immensely. We have 3 kitties who are like my tiny babies- all very spoiled. Bam, who loves walking all the pups, and Pumpkin, and Elsa. All three are rescues. Basically I’m their “do-girl”. They all know how to talk me into extra treats. I have had to administer meds in the past and don’t mind doing so. Animal caretaking is my full time job and my family is 1000% okay with that. I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t want to bring home with me. Your fur baby is invited and encouraged to make our house their home away from home. They will be well spoiled and loved, as my entire family will be doting on them.

“Joseph is one of the calmest and most loving individuals I personally have met in my life. When it comes to animals especially his own they always come first. I have yet to see anything stray him away from always being there for his dogs. This man is well trusted amongst family and friends. He will happily watch my dog and cat for days on end if needed and I can always rely on them to be properly cared for. If you ever need someone this is 100% your person.”

“Emily has taken care of our dog and three kittens multiple times now. She has both stayed at our house for seven days and nights and also done multiple days just stopping in one or two times per day to take care of our animals. We have always come home to well taken care of animals that are happy and healthy. Emily sends us pictures while we are away and texts if there’s anything we need to know or if she has any questions. It can be hard having a stranger in your house taking care of your animals, but Emily has proven to be trustworthy and is also a very sweet person. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs care for their fur babies.”

About: I have grown up with all types of animals from chicken to snakes. My family has always had some type of animal roaming around, especially dogs. I don’t remember a time where we didn’t have some type of company. Growing up I was taught how to care for animals because my mom was a veterinarian technician . I often accompanied her to watch her care for the dogs and cats in the clinic. Animals are very important to me and I want to take the upmost care of your family members. I am currently a college student at Emory University working part time on some days of the week. I tend to have time in the evenings as well as some mornings during the week. I am comfortable doing whatever the client feels is best for their pet. I also will be happy to follow any special requests to make sure the owner feels comfortable.

About: I’ve had pets all my life. Also going to school to become a veterinarian tech right now. In hopes to become a veterinarian in the long run. I have Plenty of time right now. I’m trying to get into a new vet clinic since my externship just ended. But after i get In I’ll fix my schedule around in hopes of still being able to help animals and people out! I care for my own dog as i would A child. Monthly check ups with the vet. I’ve also brought him to school for training purposing for him and myself. I would Treat clients animals with all the love and care i could With the most amount of safety like i did in my externship!
