Dog Walking Maple Rapids

“You are literally the best. I had the best night in years and I appreciate you more than I could ever tell you accepting my extremely late request. Trustworthy, responsive, caring, prompt.”

About: I've had my own pets since I was a child (0ver 40 years) and have also fostered dogs through capital area humane society for years. I currently walk an older couples dog weekly to ensure she gets out and some exercise each week. I work from home and can take multiple breaks to walk away throughout the day. I love being outdoors and going for walks in any type of weather. Rain is something I try to avoid. I am free to work remotely from any location if you happen to need a pet sitter in home or multiple check ins throughout a specific time period.

About: I have always had pets growing up for as long as I can remember. I treat all dogs I meet as if they are my own and love to spoil them. I am currently working full time at a job with a very inconsistent schedule. I will always keep my calendar up to date for when I am available. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with their toys, and showering them with all the love they deserve. My dog and I can’t wait to meet some more dog friends!

About: Hi there! My name is Ruby, and I was born and raised in Clinton County, MI. Growing up, my family had a variety of pets, including an Old English Bulldog and German Shepherds, which helped shape my love for dogs from an early age. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own since we’re renting, I’m looking to take on opportunities like this to earn some extra income during my final summer before graduating. I absolutely love dogs, have experience pet sitting and staying overnight with pets on multiple occasions, and some of my favorite breeds are Basset Hounds and Golden Retrievers. My schedule varies, so I’m using this as an opportunity to help fill in the gaps on a day-to-day basis. At the same time, I’m hoping to build consistent work so I can establish reliable income while also getting to know and build relationships with specific pups over time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always keep in mind that I’m stepping into their space and routine, and that their pet may not know me yet. I make it a priority to take the time to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and at ease by moving at their pace, respecting their routines, and building trust. Whether that means going for walks, keeping feeding schedules consistent, providing playtime, or simply offering companionship, I aim to create a calm and positive experience while making sure your pet feels cared for in a familiar environment.

About: I've been raised around all ages of puppies/dogs, use to work at a dog daycare for a few years, took behavior classes, and did nail trimming. Also have done walking at the daycare and also with my own dogs. I have took care of seniors also that have needed medicine I'm a stay at home mom with my baby daughter, 2 dogs Toby and Koda, and my fluffy playful kitten Snooze. I have spaces in my day where I will be able to take care of your furry babies for you while you have to work/trip I do grooming for my dogs and kitten, walk/play with my dogs every day. At night I make sure to give each one alone time with me before bed so they don't get jealous of eachother

“Professional. Prompt. Took excellent care of my 3 dogs! Definitely will use her again.”

About: I was in 4-h as a child showing dogs for 5+ years. I did everything from grooming my own animals to training them. I grew up around all sorts of animals and havent found one I didn't like! Am looking to mostly keep my schedule during school hours Monday through Friday and open most anytime on the weekends. I would be willing to work with people outside of those hours too. We have 2 big friendly dogs at the house with a large fenced in yard. I am a stay at home mom at the moment giving me good amount of time to play and walk with the animals.

About: I’ve been in charge of just about any type of pet under the sun; including most reptiles and rodents. I’ve even cared for a marsupial! I’m up for any challenge, including special needs and medications. I’m currently finding myself with a lot of free time, so I’m open to pet sitting and dog walking throughout the week, with Monday being the only exception. I will follow any house rules given, and keep owners updated as often as they prefer. If medications are needed, I’ll have no issue administrating on schedule. I will make sure to keep all pups hydrated and happy on walks, and am open to sharing my location if asked.

About: At an early age, I started walking the neighborhood dogs. I’ve always loved animals, and treat them as my own. Friends and family often rely on me to watch their pets and take them out when needed. I’m very attentive and will treat every animal with the kindness they deserve. I work from home three days a week, and have the weekends off. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can take my work with me anywhere I go. Caring for your pets in your home will be my main priority. I will make sure they are well taken care of, loved, and feel safe.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience and deep, personal connection with dogs of all ages. With over three years of experience, I’ve been trusted by clients and family alike to care for their pets—whether it’s energetic puppies needing structure and training, or senior dogs who require patience and gentle attention. I’ve trained my own dogs from puppyhood, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and care. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Whether it’s feeding, walking, cleaning, or just spending quality time with animals, I make space for it consistently. I’m already used to structuring my days around the needs of pets, from early morning potty breaks to evening playtime or check-ins. Being flexible and dependable allows me to give each pet the attention they deserve, and I take pride in making their care a regular, reliable part of my week. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with a consistent routine for feeding, walks, play, and rest—just like I do for my own pets. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their routines and preferences, making sure their pets stay comfortable with minimal disruption. I follow all instructions carefully, keep the space clean (including litter boxes, food areas, and floors), and always make sure pets feel loved, secure, and well-cared-for while you’re away.

About: I use to work for my grandmother who would raise dogs, take care of them, and then give someone a dog. I would clean up after dogs in all ways. Take care of the puppies with the moms. I would bathe all the dogs and get them groomed up to go to their new home! I am available after 4:30 P.M. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. After 3:30 P.M. on Wednesdays. And available most times and nights on the weekends! At this moment in time I do not have the ability or place to actually house sit at my home but, I can come to you!

About: I have had animals for my entire life. I currently am already taking care of horses,cattle,dogs,chickens,birds,monkeys,fish,alpacas and cats. I am more than willing to come to your house or host in my home also. Long or short periods. Animals are the best and I'd love to help take care of yours also! I am home 90% of the day so am open 7 days a week anytime. Rather your pets needs are big or small I have time for it all. I have a dog cable and large yard. Pets are welcome with or without cages. Will be loved and cared for just as if they are mine.

About: I've owned cats and dogs of all ages my entire life. When I was in middle school I use to professional show pure bread shelties and smaller dogs of the like. I don't currently own any dogs but I do have a cat that I'm in the process of moving down from michigan. I currently am between jobs. I do work for doordash and instacart to help make ends meet. With that being said I have plenty of time to drop in and visit or play or even walk your loving fur babies! I'm open to caring for your fur babies in anyway you need. I cannot currently bring any pets into my house at the moment, so my visits and drop-ins will have to be at the clients house.

“Anthony is honestly the best. He has been walking them for a couple months now and they LOVE IT. He is so happy to see them and is very particular and diligent about reporting on cards and making sure they have a great (and tiring) time. I am SO GLAD I found him and will definitely continue using his services.”

“Alex is friendly, kind, responsive, and responsible. He quickly got back to me about a last minute dog walk, and also handled our overly excited puppy with ease.”

Caroline S.

“Thank you for taking good care of Zeus! He’s a very happy dog!”

“Nikki has been great with my young dog. She has walked/dropped in to check on him during two separate occasions when he was healing from surgery or other procedures from the vet. She is great about sending updates for when she is on the way to my house and on my dog’s mood that day. She is very good at reading him and judging whether he wanted to walk that day or just hang out in the backyard. I recommend Nikki for drop in visits or dog walks.”

I’m not working at the moment so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets and we have a farm, so we have plenty of space to walk, and get exercise. We have a big farmhouse, so there’s plenty of space for your dog to be happy and healthy in our home and will get plenty of playtime and exercise as well.
