Dog Walkers in Mattawan, MI

About: We had a small dog when our children were out of high school and our world revolved around him. We miss him a lot since he crossed the rainbow bridge but I am lucky to be a grandma to 5 dogs—a Saint Bernard, a chihuahua mix, 2 terrier mixes and a German Shepherd mix. All rescue dogs with some quirky personality traits that make them a challenge and fun. I have also cared for my sister’s senior Maltese and a neighbor’s senior Boxer. Dogs are my favorite animal and I just love spending time with them! I recently retired from being a paraprofessional at a local school so I have a pretty flexible schedule. My husband works on Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays so those days I am much more available but he is flexible if I’m working or have something scheduled. We live out in the country and have a fenced in yard so dogs can play and have some fun time running free. Our neighborhood is safe to walk dogs (we used to walk our little guy around the block daily—1 1/4 miles) and there are also 2 parks close by that we could walk if they seem bored with the block.

“From the minute our dog met Morgan I could tell things would go well. Morgan was very timely and sent pictures and details about each visit with our dog Leo. I was out of town and when I asked if she could do a couple of extra things to care for Leo she happily agreed. She is very trustworthy, attentive to details and caring. I look forward to having her help with Leo again in the future.”

About: I am an animal lover; I have been my entire life.I have experience working with senior animals, I have experience with administering all medications; whether it’s injections, oral liquids, or pills, or topicals. I treat my dog and my cat like they’re part of my family. I want your pets to feel loved while you’re away, so I will do everything I can to ensure that happens. I will make sure they are fed exactly as you need me to, I will administer medications (if they need them), we will go on walks, and if they are allowed to sleep in a bed, they can sleep with me also. I will make sure your home is straightened up before your return as well. I have a completely open schedule; so I can stop over any time of the day that you need care. Whether it’s early morning, or late evening, I can make that work for you. I will treat your home as if it is my own home. I will clean up after your pet and myself. I can administer medications (if needed), I will feed as you need me to; and I promise to give your pet lots of love and cuddles.

About: Experienced in leading dogs big and small, young and old, well-mannered and not. Waking, sitting, drop ins, day care, and training. Deep understanding of dog psychology. Open to any specific requests, flexible with pet parents. I’m currently a full time trainer and pet sitter. I have a relatively flexible schedule. You’re welcome to send me messages about dates and about your pet. I’ll do my best to help out! I live in a large house, multiple floors. I have a large backyard with a leash anchor. Your pet will be my main focus for the duration of their stay whether it be training or sitting. The same goes for sitting or training in your home as well. I adapt well to new houses, don’t mind cats as well. I like to keep clean around the house, and I do offer deep cleaning as an extra.

“Madelyn had been walking our dog during the week for the past couple of weeks and we honestly could not be happier!! She communicates beforehand to verify the schedule each week. She is consistent - picks up our dog for a walk same time each day! She provides us with pictures and updates on how the walk went. Our dog Emma can be a little extra (German Shepherd energy) and Madelyn is great with her! We are so thankful we found Madelyn!”

About: Living with pets: 32 years Taking care of pets: 29 years Dog training: 20 years Pet sitting: 16 years Dog grooming: 8 years Cat grooming: 4 years I work for myself and am able to build my schedule daily based on the needs of the day.

I try to mold myself into whatever each individual pet needs to feel safe and comfortable with me.

“Our dog had another visit from Tanya and we came home to a happy dog. Tanya has been very flexible at a time we needed her to be. I will hire her again when I need help with my dog..”

About: I have always loved animals, I have tons of experience with cat & dog sitting. With many walks and trips to the dog parks it’s fun for your pet and I. I am an energetic, fun loving person who wants your animals to have as much fun hanging out as I do. My goal is for them to have a fun active day full of playing and walks. I’m ready to be your pets new friend!! I have been pet sitting all through college and now into my adult life. I work remote part time with a very flexible schedule. So pet sitting is a win win situation for me. I mean it’s the best second job ever getting paid to hang out with dogs/cats that’s amazing! Routined feeding times and consistent potty breaks are given to all pups. In house stays as I am very flexible. I’ve enjoyed dogs sleeping in my bed with me or crated out in the living room. It really just varies from client to client.

“Great walk! Erin was on time and took great care of both dogs while I was out of town for the day. I appreciated the pictures and map of their dog walk route! Thanks, Erin!!”

About: I have had pets my whole life and love to spend time and play with all animals. I have been dog sitting for 8 years for coworkers and friends. I have a 8 year old Catahoula Hound mix that I adopted from the SPCA! I am a medical assistant during the week for Bronson and would love to spend time with animals on the weekends or after work playing or going for walks. I make a point to let the animal smell and come to me. It is their environment and they don't know me yet! Once they are comfortable I love to get on the ground and play.

“Jayci was wonderful with our two dog during our vacation. She was always prompt and sent photos of her walks. It gave me piece of mind knowing they were being exercised and looked after. We will definitely be using Jayci’s service in the future!”
