Dog Walkers in Mears, MI

About: Dogs are family! Your pet(s) will enjoy playing with me and the other dogs both indoors and out. My days are filled with loving and working with dogs. Your pet will have the best possible care during their time with me. I have raised and trained Newfoundlands and adopted Mutts to love on and give forever homes to. My fenced, and groomed yard is 1/3 of an acre with lots of shade trees and lush grass. I have doggie beds, toys, and waterers both inside and out for 24-hour comfort. My quiet neighborhood is great for walks (weather permitting). I will tailor the care needed for your pet! My experience includes animal health care, bandaging, administering meds, caring for special needs pets, and training. Alternatively, I will make an exception if you wish to have your pet be the only one in my care. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! Your pet will have my full house and yard to feel more at home while they are away from their home. I request that drop-offs and pickups be between 9:00 am and 6:00 pm. Just as safety was the priority with my children so is my priority with any animals in my care. I understand that they are family and need companionship, playtime, and walks, and are individuals who may need extra care, medications, or unique routines. The fenced yard is 5' high with double gates for safety.

“We love having Kristen help us out with our dog Mae. She follows instructions perfectly and has helped us a lot with reinforcing training commands. Kristen is super punctual and we always know we can count on her 100%. It is obvious how much she really loves caring for your pet too. I would highly recommend her (and I have)!”

About: I’ve almost always had a pet whether it was a cat, kitten, puppy, family dog, or fish. I enjoyed taking care of the neighborhoods pets growing up as well as house sitting for them. When I was bored I used to ask the neighbors if I could walk their dogs just to get outside! I love animals in all shapes and sizes. Currently I work full time from home. I have a pretty flexible schedule for when I can take a lunch break or leave the house for an extended amount of time. Come March I will be self employed and will have open availability! There is no fence around our home, ideally outside time will be on a leash or long lead rope for running. We can do long walks down the road, a quick car ride to the beach, or walk in the state land across the street from my home. For cats we have lots of climbing structures and even some shelves built into the wall. Many toys and much love to go around

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 absolutely love animals and I have enough energy to keep up with them too! I have experience in veterinary background which ensures I am trained to catch any early health issues. I can give medication on a schedule or keep up with special needs as well :) I work as a Muskegon county park ranger in the mornings and afternoons except Mondays and Tuesdays. I am very comfortable with commuting as I live in Ludgington. I can be as flexible as you need, whether it be boarding, house sitting, or dropping in for a playdate before or after work! I have a fully fenced in back yard with lots of room to play both my cat and my dog get along well with other animals! Both are fully up to date on all vaccines and neutered! I also have a room set aside for my cat that is dog free which could be shared with other cats. I am comfortable with crating for longer stays and my dog is crate trained as well!

About: I will make sure your fur-baby has the best time and make sure you get pictures through the time they are with me! I will be home at all time so they will never be lonely. I have a puppy that loves to play with other dogs AND adores cats! (Sometimes I feel as if she thinks she is a cat too😂) I have toys and treats. I usually allow the animals on our furniture because this is their home as well, But if you don’t want your baby on furniture I fully respect and can accommodate that for you! I lost my home not long ago and got out of a bad relationship. I’m currently living in a van and traveling! I have all the time in the world and being able to see your pets and spend time with them woukd be the best! 💜 They will be looked after and played with! I am a huge animal lover and always have been. I love spending time with animals and learning about them! :)

About: Hi, I’m Brooke! I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and couldn’t imagine a world without them. I currently have a 5-year-old German Shepherd who keeps me on my toes and reminds me every day how special the bond between humans and animals can be. I also have 5 years of experience house sitting in Maui, caring for all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to bunnies and even fish. Whether it’s energetic pups, shy kitties, or small animals needing gentle care, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I’m reliable, communicative, and truly love what I do. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry (or finned!) family members! I currently have full availability and a highly flexible schedule, which allows me to adapt easily to any timing needs, including last-minute or long-term opportunities. I care for pets with attentiveness, love, and consistency, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I follow their routines, provide enrichment, exercise, healthy meals, and lots of affection. I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs in the client’s, creating a calm, clean, and nurturing environment.

About: I’ve always been the go to friend/aunt to pet sit. I love all animals and would rather spend my free time hanging out with a fuzzy friend. I would loveeeeeeee to walk your dog! I currently work from home and would love a buddy to hangout with! I live close to the bike trail and many parks and would enjoy a furry friend to take walks with! If you are in need of someone to drop in, have a place for your pet to stay or just a companion for your friend to take walks with I am the one you are looking for!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was child. My family raised our family dog since she was a puppy and even potty trained her. I also have experience teaching dogs commands as well. My schedule has changed! I’m willing to board only on weekdays. Drop-ins and walks on any day of the week! Let me know if you have my questions! I have a fenced in yard for dogs to roam as they please. My home also has plenty of space to house them and to ensure that they can have whatever set up they need. I’m willing to aid in potty training as well.

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: As an avid animal-person it'd be my honor to watch your furry friends. I've got my own anxiety-riddled pup so I know all animals have their quirks. I'm more then ready to snuggle all day or hike my favorite trails with your pets :) I have most weekends free in the winter. I do work full time on weekdays but I am available 3:30 and afterwards to meet your needs! I ensure pets are safe in my care by carefully reading their body language and avoiding dangerous situations. I've been keeping my own dog safe for 5 years now.

About: My husband and I have fostered 13 dogs the past few years since our kids all went off to college, and one of those is now ours forever. Several of our fosters have been elderly or have had special needs. I grew up with dogs & cats and have had my own dogs and fosters all of my adult life. We have retired in the past couple of years and are now ready to take on FUN part time jobs. We are in FL Sept-May and in Pentwater MI in summers. We will consider traveling a further distance for pet/house sitting in your home for extended bookings. For short bookings such as drop ins and walks we prefer to avoid long drives. Thank you, and we look forward to working with you and your pets. I am free to walk, feed, and care for dogs most days, and will consider overnights after a successful meet and greet with your dog. I have developed a small canine clientele that I love like my own, and now have time for a couple more.

About: Hi! I grew up with dogs (boxers) and then around age 10 my mom and I started rescuing and fostering pups! The seal in the picture with me is my first Foster fail and love of my life. I've also been active my whole life and was a college athlete so I genuinely love dog walking lol. I care for my dog like she's a human child. Literally, I meal prep healthy food for her and I don't even meal prep for myself. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can really make time whenever needed for walks but would prefer they be during daylight hours! Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. If you prefer that I play with your dog in the backyard instead of a walk, etc. I can do things like
