Dog Walkers in Marilla, 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.

“Kara was amazing when I needed a last minute dog walker. She came everyday on time and communicated when she picked Moose up and dropped him off. She even wrote notes about the walk! I could not have found a better/sweeter friend for Moose that week! Thank you Kara!”

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.

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’m more than a dog sitter 😁 if you want someone who will play, walk, and entertain your dog, you’ve found your match! I’m the dog mom who does everything with her dogs. I have 3of my own large breed dogs, and fostered 12 others with my husband and enjoyed every moment of it! Most of them were under the age of 1 year old, so we did all the potty training, crate training, and basic commands. I exposed them to different environments, other dogs, and taught them a lot during their time with us which was anywhere from a month to 4 months. I’m reliable and really intentional about the care of animals. I love my dogs as if they were my kids and I’d treat yours with the same care! I have a full time job, but can work from home some days. I dog sit because I love it and I know how important it is to find someone who will make my dogs feel safe and happy. I intend to do that for those I serve 😊🐶 Note: I generally do not accept requests for house sitting over 4 nights at a time. I love routine and know how animals can thrive in that even when their humans are gone. So I would be happy to keep consistency for your pet if that means being let out at certain times or walked before you get home etc. For doggy daycare: I have a fenced yard and 3 of my own fur babies who love to play with other dogs! I also have a separate gated area in my home if there needs to be separation at times. For House Sitting: (I won’t accept requests over 4 nights). I will follow the owners preferences and safety measures they have in place. I also recommend meet and greets so I understand how you expect things done/handled.

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.

“Kathryn really got me out of a bind as she was able to walk Maggie twice on short notice. She made sure that I was comfortable with her by taking time to come over and meet the day before. She kept me updated with pictures and I can’t recommend her enough.”

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: Currently offering walks and drop-ins for cats and pups! In the past I have always had a dog in the family and volunteered at local shelters. Now the owner of a seven-year-old german shepherd, Lyra, I am pretty seasoned with the ins-and-outs of caring for furry friends. I have been doing long walk ( mile - 2 mile walk ) challenges to keep her happy and whenever I stop in for a client, I make sure that I give your pup the same amount of attention as if they were my own. Rest assured your pup or cat will be pampered, snuggled, and get some playtime-in. You will receive photo updates (no need to respond) but I am very open during my visits so that you get a full rundown of their condition. I also fill out rover cards with details of activities and I am able to provide a quick pic on request. Please take some time to review the requirements for booking. I look forward to meeting your fur-friend and appreciate your business. My Rover schedule will reflect my availability, however, I may be able to accommodate your needs for an extended stay with communication. Our routine starts with breakfast between 7-10a. followed by a quick walk. We settle in for dinner sometime between 5-8p and usually go out one last time before bed. Pets are a priority in this household. I continue to work toward making sure that needs are met and your dog is comfortable throughout their stay. This includes creating space for smaller pets to lounge and request that all necessary care information is complete on their pet profile.
