Dog Walkers in Manistee, MI

About: What sets me apart is the diversity and depth of my experience. I have cared for animals in AZA Accredited Zoos and Aquariums in addition to beloved pets. I am a Certified Canine Training and Behavior Specialist (CCTBS) with the Animal Behavior Institute, and my methods are backed by empirical scientific evidence. No matter what the service, I treat my responsibilities with the utmost care and attentiveness. I am also more than happy to accept reactive and fear-aggressive pups, for which much of my experience involves. :) I am currently available all mornings and early-mid afternoon's for walks and check-ins! My other occupation as a driving instructor affords me very flexible hours. I treat all animals with respect and kindness. My approach is positive reinforcement only - gentle, firm and backed by real science. With my experience caring for animals of all ability levels and temperaments, I am comfortable administering any medications. The same care, attentiveness, and professionalism applies to all of my work.

About: I have been a pet caregiver my entire life. I love being around animals more than humans. They bring so much joy to my life and my goal is to do the same for them. I recently took on a new job, and I work from 10 to 4 Monday through Friday. I am still open to caring for pets but I simply want everyone to know that things have changed a little bit for me recently. I walk my dog in the morning and a quick one on my lunch and a couple in the evening. These are the same times that I would take your fur baby out for potty breaks and fun. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I live in a neighborhood that is small, somewhat closed in, my house is on a dead end road and most of the people in my neighborhood only live here during the weekends or summer months. It is a safe neighborhood. I would walk the dogs with my dog or separately if requested by the owner.

About: I have cared for dogs and cats most of my life. When called away, friends and family members have relied on me to provide reliable and loving care for their beloved four-legged family members. I will always make caring for your pet a privledge, a priority and a joy. I am retired, and my schedule is flexible. I am delighted to offer my experience and energy to families in need of reliable pet-care in the Manistee area. I stay attentive while caring for your furry friend. It is important that each pet feels safe and cared for, especially when their daily routines are being interrupted in a new setting. Lots of reassurance, plenty of belly rubs, and ample daily exercise will ensure that your pet stays happy and healthy in my care.

About: I’ve owned dogs and/or cats most of my life and my kids and I adore animals. We have. 3 cats and a very sweet Australian Retriever. We’ve been doing Rover for about three or four years now, and recently moved from Knoxville Tennessee, so I am a Traverse city native. We treat our pets like one of the family, and we will treat yours the same way! Generally, we prefer to board just one dog at a time, but may occasionally have an overlap or another dog in daycare. We will care for one or two cats from the same family and can keep them separated from our cats if necessary. Looking forward to meeting you all! There is almost always someone at home between myself, my husband and my two adult children. Your baby would get lots of attention and love with us. I have a fully fenced yard and we love to go on walks or visits to the nearby dog park. We have many toys to play with, and potty trained, cat friendly dogs are allowed the run of the house!

About: I'm a stay at home wife, with a bunch of animals (dog, cats, chickens, ducks), looking to make extra money. I LOVE animals! I have experience volunteering at the Humane Society as well as caring for pets of family and friends. I have been dog sitting for Rover.com for over 5 years. If your dog needs a little company, to be walked, or even a bath; I'm available. Have more than one dog? No problem. I have a open and flexible schedule so, I can be available on short notice. I am respectful, honest, and hardworking. All I ask is that you give me a shot! -Dog Sitting -Dog Walking -Volunteer at Humane Society Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all of my life. I used to want to be a veterinarian. Life plans change a bit, but my love for animals has not so, I make an effort to help people like you whenever I can. My experience administering medication I have administered medication twice before. If you use any special methods, if you show me how, I am more than willing to do it. I currently work from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. My early mornings are spent doing my farm chores, but I'm usually pretty free by 9amish. I do my best to work with clients, so reach out, and I'll see you I can fit you onto my schedule! I do not currently host animals in my own home. In the home of my clients, I treat their pets the way I would my own, with patience, love, and care.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for four-legged friends, and there's nothing more rewarding than seeing a dog happy and loved! 🐾 I’ve cared for several of my neighbors' dogs over the years, offering walks, playtime, and even TV time when they’re feeling lonely. Every dog deserves attention, love, and a little extra care, and that’s exactly what I provide. Whether it's cuddles, a good play session, or just some company, I treat every dog like my own furry family member! 🐶💕 I am self-employed on my farm Five and a Half North Farm, LLC, so I have ample time in my schedule daily. I have cared for many types of pets, including hamsters, bunnies, dogs, cats, and chickens. I have a small fenced area in my yard for pets to run. I generally care for pets in other people's homes and respect the instructions for each pets needs.

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: I've been lucky enough to have been able to help my mom with her business raising and selling dogs. Meaning I've dealt with taking care of pregnant dogs, newborn puppies, sick dogs, and senior dogs. I've also taken care of many different kinds of animals from reptilian to aquatic. My current full time job assisted senior living. I don't have a set schedule, but instead shifts I can choose to pick up. Meaning with proper warning I can puzzle piece my day to make time for your sweet pet. No matter what your pet needs I'm sure I can accommodate them and give them the care they need. And I always have extra supplies if needed. (carrier, food, toys, collars, leashes, ect.)

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for decades. I would love the opportunity to watch your pets. I do have a dog of my own. I am retired so I have plenty of time to watch your pets. Give me a try.

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 grew up in a household that rarely had less than 3 dogs at a time. I love all types of dogs - big, small, mutt or purebred - they all have hearts of gold. Contact me if your pup (or any other fur babies) needs some extra attention (either in-home or in my home), exercise, or boarding! All breeds/sizes/ages welcome. Your pet will receive plenty of care, attention and love. I have extensive experience working with anxious pups. My parents’ dog shakes/cries at any loud noise, the smell of bacon cooking (yes, really... makes her think of the smoke detector going off), etc. I’ve always been able to calm her down. I have also worked with skittish and aggressive dogs. My friend has a pup that bites/barks at almost everyone, but he now cuddles up and cries of excitement whenever I come over. I am currently self-employed, and my schedule is very flexible. I can work with your schedule. I also accept last minute bookings as well, so don't hesitate to reach out! I live in a spacious duplex and welcome boarding. Animals are allowed to explore and are allowed on the furniture if they so choose. I am more than happy to house-sit too--I can travel upwards of 50 miles for stays and I always leave homes in the same condition I found them.

About: I've had animals in my life since the age of five, and I have regularly taken care of family and friends animals. I've taken multiple classes on animal psychology and have a broad understanding of what dietary needs a domesticated animal. I have an open schedule; so once I know the time I'm needed I can rearrange my schedule to fit the need of the current time, I have the ability to go at a moment notice if need be I have a fenced in yard with two metal latch fences and reinforced posts in my main yard. I also have a 1-year-old cat named Toad who is predominantly an indoor cat.

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I've been 5 years old. Got my own cat at 10. I've been surrounded by a dog or cat since then. i'm not working at all and looking for a job to do. I got loads of energy and the cold don't bother me much anyways. I just walk dogs. But Ill make sure your dogs are taken care of and have extra water and a bowl every time I take em for a walk.

About: I handled mostly cats growing up. I work best with Huskies as that is one of my favorite breeds, but all dogs are welcome! I ensure all pets are very happy as much as possible. As of now I'm gonna be a First Responder, so I can take walks around 40 minutes ahead of time. I'm always happy to help! I always ensure pets of all kind are treated with the upmost respect. I handle somewhat hostile cats with strict guidelines and they have always listened when given enough time. I always ensure I leave my house with my pets being happy.
