Dog Walkers in Leonard, MI

About: I have been relied on by my friends and relatives to take care of their dogs for 15 years. They have trusted me to watch their home and their dogs when they need someone. I have some experience administering oral medicine (pills) to dogs. Currently, I am available most times and days for pet care. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am possibly not available from about 11:30am-2:30pm because I walk my sister's puppy then, but it is only when she needs me. I will happily visit or stay at your home to care for your pet. I am great at following directions and will happily do whatever you need me to do to care for your pet how you want me to or how your pet is used to being cared for.

“Kristina, is so reliable ! Always Able to accommodate my dogs even last minute! I get lots of pictures with every walk and updates on how the boys did. I would to anyone !!”

About: I love caring for pets of all ages and breeds, from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs and cats. I’m skilled in giving medications, as I care for my own senior dog. I can maintain special diets, and provide physical activity, as well as mental stimulation to keep pets happy and healthy. What sets me apart is my ability to read each animal’s special needs, as I have many pets of my own. I have much patience and compassion when it comes to pets, whether it’s training a puppy, assisting a senior pet with mobility, or simply offering cuddles and attention. I treat each and every pet as my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I’m flexible and reliable, so I can accommodate different routines, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or special care needs. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority, not something I squeeze in. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and playtime instructions closely, while giving plenty of attention and affection. I keep the home tidy, clean up after pets (including litter boxes and feeding areas), and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is well cared for.

About: I've worked in grooming, daycare, boarding, and training facilities for dogs professionally for 4 year. I know the proper ways to interact and care for dogs, as well as grooming them such as baths and nail trims. I truly enjoy caring for animals, and have been dogsitting for families and friends for 5+ years. I have extensive knowledge of dogs behavior and body language, which will help ensure your pets safety when they are in my care. I understand that your pet is a member of your family and I strive to give them the best care I possibly can. I have experience in my personal life with cats, but have the most experience with dogs. With my current schedule, I have plenty of time to care for your furry family member. I am available to stop in to care for your pet, take them on walks, and housesit. I look forward to meeting your pets needs! *IMPORTANT* I can accept boarding requests on a case by case basis and in order to keep my schedule organized, I can only book boarding stays within one month of the requested boarding date at this time. I have a partially fenced yard that's located on a lake, so I will have your pup on a long lead in my yard and they will always be supervised by me while they are outside. For a boarding pup, I will crate your fur baby at night to ensure their safety. My home is welcoming to dogs and they are allowed most places I am, meaning the furniture in the house is theirs to snuggle on. They will receive plenty of love and affection while in my care!

About: While growing up on a farm, I have always loved caring for dogs, cat, and horses with various needs. Friends and family have trusted me with their four legged companions of all sizes for many years. Whether your dog needs to burn some energy on a fun walk or your cat needs a friendly drop-in visit, I can't wait to meet them! 🐾 I currently have a very sweet Australian Shepherd, an extra fluffy cat, and four gentle horses and two donkeys - all with unique personalities and needs. I work remotely from home, so my schedule is relatively flexible. I'm more than happy to spend time with your pet, ensuring they receive proper care and attention. My backyard is fenced in, with plenty of room to play ball or practice agility. I respect other pet owner's space and home, as well as rules for handling or caring for their pets, ensuring I am both assertive and friendly.

About: Welcome to The Raffa Pack! We’re Lia, Jonathan, our 1 year old son AJ, and our loyal fur-son, Kingsley! We’re a dog-loving family through and through. Lia grew up with multiple dogs and cats, and we’ve raised Kingsley since he was a puppy in 2020. Kingsley is a 4-year-old German Shepherd mix who’s never met a dog he didn’t love. He’s playful, affectionate, great with other animals, and always up for a walk, a cuddle, or a game of fetch. We also have two sweet cats, Bella and Cissy. Bella loves playing with dogs, while Cissy prefers her own space - and she has it! We’ve set up a cat-only area in the house so everyone has a safe and comfortable place to relax. We live on over an acre of fully fenced-in yard, perfect for supervised play and exercise. We can provide crates, toys, and cozy beds to help your pup feel at home.

I currently don’t work anywhere else which gives me plenty of time in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends to focus on pet care. Since animals are a huge part of my life already, caring for pets naturally fits into my daily routine. Whether it’s evening walks, weekend stays, or afternoon check-ins, I’m flexible and committed to making sure your pet feels loved and well-cared for.

About: Just being around animals makes me happy. I work full time as a vet assistant, but looking for a side job to do here and there. :) I work full time, long hour days so I do have more days off, currently I am looking for drop ins or walks for now! Safety is #1, communication is a must, being able to get your little fur baby out and about is important and fitting all your needs is as well.

My kids start school, and I will be available from 8am-3pm M-TH. I am available for evenings upon request just depending on my kids sports schedule. I’m also free Fridays 8-8pm and weekends too!

About: I am a local mom that has time for your fur babies. My son is now a teenager and I am home with time to support your family.

About: As a dedicated dog caregiver, I’ve spent years providing loving care to various breeds. As a trusted adult by family and friends, I prioritize each dog’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. I do my best and more to create a nurturing environment where pets thrive. Bring a dog caregiver perfectly complements my part time job by allowing me to structure my day around both responsibilities. This role not only offers companionship but also ensures I remain active and engaged throughout the day. As a dog caregiver, I provide a personalized care in both my home and client’s homes. In my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, exercising, and bathroom breaks to ensure each dog feels secure. In clients homes, I follow their specific guidelines while bringing my own warmth and attention. I focus on keeping their pets comfortable, engaging them in activities, and maintaining a clean environment.

About: I've taken care of my own dogs since I was 9 years old. We had three German shepherds in our family at once so we kept them busy with walks and a lot of play time. We now have our fourth German shepherd who relies on me to walk, bathe, and feed her. I've taken care of my friends dogs and have enjoyed every minute of it. I'm currently not working so I can take care of pets during the entire day. I work around the needs of my pet. I will play or walk her in the morning as well as a nighttime walk or car ride, which she enjoys more than the walk! She receives multiple potty breaks throughout the day as well. My dog has an electric fence so she plays fetch for hours. We also live near multiple parks and paths to take her on walks. I am comfortable walking within subs, on dirt roads, or driving to any location to make sure your pet receives the proper care and exercise for the day depending on their needs.

About: I recently lost my boy, Marvin. I raised him from 4 weeks old and am unwilling to get another dog at this moment. I would love to take care of your furchild when you need it! I have a lot of love to give and regularly go for walks! I run my own business so I am able to make my own schedule. This makes me available at times that most wouldn't be. I am here to help! I will follow your care plan for your pet. Feed as needed, walk, play etc as you request! I am able to clean up after and give lots of snuggles too!

“Thank you so much for helping with Zadie. She is much better and we are still working on her separation anxiety”

“Diana was great! Our dog is sweet, but not the easiest to walk. She didn’t really mind his quirks and seemed very comfortable with him-70 pounds. Would definitely ask her again! Her communication was timely and she came over for a meet and greet before her first walk. Thank you!”
