Dog Walking in Milwood, Kalamazoo, MI

“Barb is amazing!!! Every time she gets home, Lola gets super excited because she knows is time for her walk! Barb is sweet and very kind with my baby!! 100% recommended!!”

“Theresa always goes above and beyond!! She will love your fur babies so much and give you security that they will be safe and happy when you’re out of town :)”

About: Hi! My name is Destiny, I have such a strong love and passion for our fur babies and pet care is what I will always want to do long-term. I have been working on Rover for a little while but also have other previous experiences from owning various pets of my own such as dogs, cats, bunnies and fish. As well as working at a veterinary clinic, volunteering and fostering at rescues. I can’t wait to meet all of your amazing animal friends and take great care of them while you're away. I'm currently only working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to play and care for your fur babies! Days unavailable due to other obligations will be reflected upon the calendar provided through Rover. Please don't be afraid to ask either way! :) I will keep your fur babies safe by keeping in touch frequently including pictures and/or videos. Following all directions provided by the owner. Keep them active with plenty of play time as well as supervised outdoor play time, walks and if your fur baby is in need of another pup friend I do have a very friendly/social mini goldendoodle pup of my own I can bring by for some supervised playtime (he would need to be brought by to the meet and greet to ensure the safety of both pups)!

“Thank you tons!! She just met my dog and was aware enough to see that he was bothered by the bad weather so she kept it short and stayed near the house to get his energy out and gave him plenty of chances despite the weather to potty. The puppy is a bundle of crazy energy and Rachel handled it like a champ when sitting inside with him, and gave me a summary of the visit/pictures. Will be asking to walk again. Thanks tons!?”

“Thanks Claire! You have been AMAZING! Thanks so much for taking care of my fur baby! I will contAct you later today when I get home.”

“Grace was willing to come a long way for a trial walk and then realized it was too far. She was friendly and able to handle my larger dog and nervous smaller dog.”

“I'm so glad Mckensi was able to walk my dogs today! My 2 pups are very different and I don't know many who can handle the puppy's...exuberance...but Mckensi took it all in stride when she met them pre-walk, and was able to handle walking them both together! (Next time I'll leave you a map of suggested routes, so you get a more varied walk ?)”

“ Dominique is a gifted animal-caregiver who takes extra special care of our dog Harley. She is dependable in her work, and loving in her interactions with our dog. We trust Dominique to walk our dog and have had her stay overnight with Harley when we have gone out of town. She is a trustworthy person and our dog's best friend!”

About: I have a Bachelor’s in Zoology. I was a zookeeper for 8yrs, vet assistant for 2yrs, manager of a boarding/daycare facility, manager of a veterinary clinic kennel and manager of a dog rescue. I’ve done it all! Medicate. Groom. Feed. Socialize. Exercise. Train. I am currently in the process of finding a new job, so my schedule is very flexible. My two daughters are in school full time also, so my days are very open. I have a fenced yard where I socialize my dog with other dogs regularly. I clip nails, bathe, feed and medicate my dog, 2 cats and care for my fish!

“She loves all things furry and four legged! She would always keep my pup fully fed and tired out while I was at work. In no time my dog fell in love with her and her joyful attitude.”

About: *LOW NUMBER BOARDER & OFFERS GROOMING* I am a an occupational therapist who is a homebody and loves to care for animals. I am flexible and I enjoy being around animals as I was raised in a home with dogs and they are apart of my family. I own my own home in a safe neighborhood with a fenced in backyard. I have begun to groom my own dogs. Please refer to my photos for their coats. I am low number boarder to ensure your dog is not overwhelmed and receives more 1:1 time. I thoroughly enjoy getting to know the families I work with to build a relationship! My strengths include: Responsible, Communicative, Honest, Trustworthy, and flexible. I am a full-time occupational therapist who works less than a mile from home. I come home on my lunch break to let my own dogs out. T/R I have more flexible hours to care for dogs as well as I am available on Saturday and some Sundays. I have a fenced in backyard and I have two dogs of my own to keep your dog accompanied and socialized. I can crate them per your request to ensure safety is had if need be.

“Whether you’re booking Ali as a walker or boarding your doggo with her, your pup is in great hands. She is a lifelong dog owner/lover and has extensive experience caring for dogs from all walks of life, including many rescues like mine. Her last dog, Ruby, was an AKC-certified therapy dog. She is the go-to dog whisperer in the family and I’m happy to hear that she’ll be caring for and spoiling all the pups in her community.”

“I hired Hunter to house sit my 2 dogs over a weekend and he was phenomenal. He was frequently sending me check-ins with a bunch of photos and videos of my dogs playing, which I really appreciated. I’m bilingual, and my dogs are mostly used to Spanish commands, since that what we mostly used. He was able to help us continue to enforce those command words since he’s also bilingual. Our dogs weren’t completely house trained at this point but he made sure to clean up all the mess, even went as far as mopping the house for us. All in all I he did a great job and we still use him to this day. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Mallory has been watching my 3 high maintenance corgis for several years. My dogs love their time with her and I know they are in excellent hands! I would choose her as a first preference knowing precious pups will be well looked after.”

“Lizzie has watched my cats on multiple occasions, some of which were extended stays. She has always done such a terrific job taking care of them which made it easy for me to be away without any worry. She always made sure to feed them on time, play with them and even administer some medication for one of my cats. I recommend her for your pet needs!”

About: I have been involved with dogs (specifically rescues) for my entire life. I have helped take care of my dogs for as long as I can remember. I was around 12 when I started taking care of my very own dog. My schedule is always flexible! The only issues that may come into play are the possibility of working a part time job at some point in the near future. I would prefer to keep pets in their own environment until they are more comfortable with me as a person and once I gain some trust. Just so they feel more at ease with a new person!

“Anika has an extraordinary ability to make pets and people feel deeply loved and cared for. She is kind, diligent and an excellent communicator. She takes exceptional care of her dog and other peoples’. Her compassion makes her one of the few people I’d hire to care for my pups. You can rest assured that your fur baby is well taken care of with her.”

“Maggie has been an absolutely spectacular dog walker for us for an extended period of time. She is very reliable and communicative. We have always trusted that our dog is in safe hands with her. I will definitely reach out to Maggie again in the future.”

“Joe (& Heather) were great! We contacted him very last minute when other plans fell through. Contacted him Saturday, they came out for a meet & greet Sunday & filled our care needs on Monday. We were very pleased that he had Heather come with him— we have Rottweiler/ Newfoundland crosses that weigh in at 130+ & 115+ and sometimes can be like trying to walk a freight train on a leash. Our female tends to be more reticent, especially towards men, but she immediately went right to him and both dogs were absolutely in love at first sight. Even my super skittish & shy old cat that hides from most people came out for them (it helped that it was here dinner time ?) We will definitely be calling on him again!!”

“They are amazing!! Would highly highly recommend them for dog walking or sitting, they are super easy to communicate with and sent so many pictures and even a video of my dog. I could tell he was having a lot of fun and they kept me updated the whole time.”
