Dog Walking Meridian Charter Township

“Jenn was amazing with both of our dogs. She provided updates after each walk, along with photos, to ensure we were aware. Both dogs love when she shows up and she treats them like one of her own. Would definitely recommend Jenn for anyone looking for a caring, responsible and professional individual to look after their animals.”

About: I’ve had pets of all kinds (chickens, ducks, birds, rabbits, cats, frogs, and dogs) for my whole life. I love animals - and will love yours like I love my own. I have experience caring for kittens, puppies, and giving medical care to both dogs and cats. I’m a grad student at MSU, so aside from my time in lectures and seminars on campus, I work from home. This makes it easy for me to come to you, and I have a very flexible schedule. I make sure to take off my shoes at the door, I won’t track dirt into your house! I’m gentle with pets and make sure to put everything back where it belongs. I love sending pictures, and I’ll make sure to let you know immediately for check in and check out times. I use rover to book care for my fur babies, so I definitely will be able to offer your pets the care I would want for mine.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have a cat of my own. I’ve always loved caring for animals and getting to know their different personalities. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and will make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time, so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for pet care on weekends and during my weekday availability, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine! I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide, and I’ll always keep you updated while you’re away.

“This was the first walk with Jessa. She was on time. She’s quite pleasant. Rhys seemed to take to her right off and some initial tugging I think they established the rhythm intend to set up another next week. I have every reason to believe this is a great beginning.”

About: In 2019, I started my journey foster raising puppies for PAWS with a Cause, an organization that custom trains service dogs. I raised 4 PAWS dogs, keeping them from 8 weeks to a year old. My first 2 actually became certified service dogs! In between fostering, I also raised 3 keeper puppies of my own. I have a female 5 year old lab, a female 2 year old golden, and a 1 year old male chocolate lab. Safe to say I'm addicted. I work remotely which gives me the flexibility to take my dogs out as they need. I go into the office on Tuesdays for a full day, however, I am able to take a long lunch if needed to take dogs out. I have a fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs at home. I have crate-trained dogs. I have taken my own babies to countless dog training classes, picking up a lot of knowledge of dog behavior.

About: Ive been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, to having them in my house to help dog sit for friends and families, I truly just enjoy being around them. I had my own for the past 10 years up until a few years ago when he passed away. I understand that finding someone that cares for your animal just like you do can be a struggle, so I am here to change that for you! I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I work as a hairstylist right down the road so it is easy for me to pop home in between my day, it also just an awesome addition to my morning walks/ run and evening walks. I have an amazing area with two different balconys and a small friendly boxer for them to play with and be outside if they want. we love walking to beach and playing ball in this house.

About: Hi! I have had pets in my life for over a decade and am truly an animal person. I love taking care of animals and am excited at the idea that I can do it at least semi-professionally. In the past, it has been one of my favorite jobs. I have experience with horses, sheep, ducks, guinea pigs, snails, fish, and hermit crabs, as well as cats and dogs. This background has provided me with skills in maintaining appropriate attention to feeding and training routines in multiple species at a time. I have learned to be adaptable to an animal’s habits as they adapt to my presence. Some special skills I have include caring for disabled and senior pets, providing preventative and responsive medication, managing food according to allergies, taking care of trained attack dogs, and providing first aid in an emergency situation. I am a student so am mainly free in the early/mid morning and mid/late afternoons and evenings during the school year. I am also free on the weekends. I have had lots of experience with unique pet care, such as with senior animal needs and allergy and medication awareness. With that experience and my background in care for multiple species, I feel comfortable recognizing signs of abnormal behavior.

About: I’m a senior Animal Science student with hands-on experience caring for many species through working at multiple farms, including in management roles. I’ve cared for animals with different needs and personalities and have also shadowed at veterinary clinics. I have two cats of my own and regularly cat sit for friends and family. I’m responsible, attentive, and truly love working with animals! My weekends are usually free, so I’m very flexible for pet sitting and visits on Saturdays and Sundays. During the week, I have classes, but I’m generally available around my class schedule and can work with you to find a time that works. I take pet care seriously and always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m an Animal Science student with hands-on experience working with many different animals and have also shadowed at veterinary clinics. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and any specific instructions you provide.

About: I have taken care of both small and large animals since I was a kid. From dog walking to milking cows I’ve done it :) Now I am a veterinary student at MSU and have been working as a small animal vet tech for over five years. So this means if your pet has some special needs they will be all set with me! My days can be flexible so depending on what your needs might be, I can do my best to fit you into my schedule! Even if it isn’t in my “availability” please still reach out! I am a been there done that kind of person so I will do whatever you feel is necessary to keep your pet safe and happy while I’m around.

About: I am a senior at MSU I have classes very intermittently often 8:30-2 Monday/wends and 12-2 Tuesday Thursday! I would love to help out anyone need of a good walk! I love to walk and pet sit and I have been for many many years! I have experience with all ages of pets as well as energy and size! I am a student and work only 6 hours a week and I’m looking for an extra source of income, while staying active, I am a full time student but I try to get 10k steps everyday and would love the company! I care for pets in my home by keeping them entertained with toys and being attentive to needs and behaviors going on many walks! Making sure they have everything they need to be happy and comfortable.

“Malena was absolutely wonderful with Bodie! She took a bunch of pictures and was very flexible with scheduling. Bodie is looking forward to his next walk with Malena!”

About: I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra care! I've been working with neighbors and have been recommended to others due to my reliable and compassionate pet care. In addition, I have completed countless volunteer hours through the Humane Society of West Michigan's Dogs Day Out program, giving me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of varying temperaments, energy levels, and care needs! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for any pet care needed on weekdays and weekends! In my own home, I have one cat who loves to lie around the house during the day and snuggle next to me at night! My #1 goal is to make sure your pet is having fun in a safe and comfortable environment at all times!

About: I’ve cared for all different types of animals for over 10 years. My fiancé, Alex, has had two dogs of his own and is currently studying animal science while working at a veterinary clinic. Between the two of us, your pets will be in experienced, loving hands and treated like our own. Alex and I are both students, so our schedules can vary throughout the week. However, between the two of us, we have time to stop in throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and care. Surprisingly, our weekends are usually the least busy, giving us even more flexibility. I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Before caring for them, I like to meet the owner and pet, learn their routine, and understand the home’s layout. From feeding times to walks, playtime, and anything else they’re used to, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease.

“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.

“Arden is a very pleasant person. He took time to come by and meet my pets beforehand. He communicated really well, and I felt confident he was tak8ng good care of my little dog. I would definitely recommend him.”

About: Dogs have been my biggest hyperfixation since I was 8 years old. I’m diagnosed with autism so you can trust that I won’t just ‘vaguely follow’ your instructions, I stick to them exactly. If you have a specific regimen for your pet, I’m the person who will actually get it right every single time. I do want to preface that I’m completely comfortable with high-energy dogs that need a real workout and contrary to that, senior pets that have a strict medication schedule. You won't get 'fluff' or vague updates from me, i’ll give you clear communication and the peace of mind that comes from someone who takes your pet’s routine as seriously as you do. If you need someone who won't miss a single detail, I’m ready to help ⭑.ᐟ - side note: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Because of that, pet care isn't just something I do, it’s become intuitive at this point. I don't have to guess what a pet needs; I’ve spent my life learning their body language and the specific care required for each and every one of them. I absolutely love making time for furry friends! Right now, my schedule is quite flexible, primarily Mondays-Fridays which means I can truly prioritize your pets routine. Whether they need a mid-day play session to burn off energy or some evening cuddles to wind down, I’m here for it! I’m dedicated to being reliable and consistent so your pet feels totally at ease while you’re away. Safety and comfort are my top priorities! I treat every home I visit with the utmost respect and every cat as if they were my own. I’m very observant of body language and environment to make sure everything is secure. You can expect plenty of cute photo updates and open communication so you can have total peace of mind knowing your baby is in safe, loving hands!
