About: Hi! My name is Adaora, I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, and have taken care of my family’s now senior dog most of his life, so I’m well versed in all stages of dog life at this point. Currently I have one 2 year old dog who I raised from 3 months old (who is very high energy, so there will be plenty of walks and exercise while your pup is here.) I also have experience training dogs, so if you need some additional help with basic commands and dog walking, I’d be happy to assist! I am a student full time during the week, but have availability and a lot of energy throughout the weekends from sitting in class all day, which is where your dog comes in! I love spending my time with my dog and others dogs, and I spend as much time as I can outdoors in my backyard gardening or going on walks and hikes which is always more fun accompanied by a furry friend! I have a fenced in yard and 1 other doggo who has plenty of energy and toys laying around the house to help entertain your pup. A typical daycare day will usually look like hanging out outside for a bit, play time with me, snack time, at some point I’ll separate the doggos so they can all rest, then we’ll go for a walk and maybe snuggle up inside for a bit. If everyone is particularly energetic we’ll go back outside and play again. My goal here is to give your dog a fun, stress free place to be while you are at work or away for the day/weekend, because that’s always what I want for my dog when I’m gone.

About: I completed the Dog Walking Academy in November 2018, provided by TipTopTails Training in Kalamazoo. Also completed Pet Tech CPR, First Aid and Care in November 2018. Having recently retired from WMU, I am looking forward to spending time with your dog(s) or cat(s) and earning some extra income. I have been a dog owner all of my life, my husband and I currently have one American Staffordshire Terrier rescue named Mazzie who is three years old. I am available to come to your home to visit with and care for your pets, I am not able to house your animals at my home during the day or overnight. Eventually, these services may also be available. I have experience with dogs who need daily medications (insulin, seizure meds) or those with chronic issues. I am available to care for your pet(s) in your home while you are away for the day or on vacation. I am retired from WMU and have fairly open days and evenings. I am not able to do overnights at this time. I have had many dogs and right now we have adopted a new rescue dog, a Staffordshire terrier who is about 3 years old. For that reason, I do not bring your animals to my home, I come to you.

“Kate is amazing with pets! She has taken care of my 90 lb rot/lab Reagan several times and loves her like her own and Reagan adores Kate. I would never hesitate to leave our fur baby in her care! Kate is a true animal lover and it shows in the way she cares for them!”

“Dear Kenzie, Thanks for taking care of Drax. Really stubborn with new people, but he was very fond of you! Also thanks for being so flexible with my schedule and accommodating my requests! Would book again!”

“I have been a client of Jess' grooming service. I have a large dog who I rescued from a bad situation. He's very timid and has a hard time trusting people, which made finding a groomer who was patient and understanding very difficult. When I found Jess, it was a miracle! She was very gentle, very patient, and understanding with my boy! Took her time to make sure he was comfortable through the whole process. She is absolutely amazing!! She also does a fantastic job with my other dog as well! I recommend her to anyone who asks me for advice on where to take their animals. Amazing person and amazing with animals!!”

“Grace was willing to come a long way for a trial walk and then realized it was too far. She was friendly and able to handle my larger dog and nervous smaller dog.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid My grandmother was a dog breeder and my step dad is a veterinarian. We are active in our house, we do dog walks, and play in the backyard. Your dog will be everywhere my dogs are. I have two Weiner dogs and a Aussie English shepherd. I don’t have any kids or cats in the house. I’m very knowledgeable about dogs and dog breeds. I do prefer to just watch one family’s dogs at a time. I’m currently working out of the home for my small business. Therefore my schedule is completely flexible. I’m willing to give dogs rides to and from home, if needed. I don’t have any children or responsibilities that could affect my ability to care for your pets. My dogs get walked everyday we have playtime in the backyard. Your dogs go and do what my dogs do. They’ll never be locked outside or mistreated. If your pup stays the night they sleep with me and my dogs unless they are crate trained and that’s how you want them at bedtime. A good routine is important for our pets and I’m committed to helping keep that.
