Dog Walkers in New Buffalo, MI

About: I can train puppies and care for senior dogs. I have had 8 different pets all lived over 15 years old and I insist it is because they know they were well loved. I can handle huge dogs I generally work part-time. Currently home full-time. I take dogs out generally about 4 times. They will be well loved. Bring their favorite toy so I can play with them with it. They will be walked every other day health permitting. I generally prefer dogs but but I love all animals.I don't have any animals of my own right so let me "borrow" yours. ;) I care for dogs, cats. I currently have a cat of my own. I generally like to train them as well with simple commands to make your life simpler. I am currently pursuing a certificate in dog training.

“Brooke is super friendly, and responsible. She came out to visit us the day before the dog walking appointments and my dog ran right to her which was a comforting sign. We were traveling through the area in our RV and felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in Brooke’s care while we visited Chicago for the day. We highly recommend Brooke! She’s energetic, and perfectly capable of caring for big, strong and sweet pups. 5 stars! ⭐️”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience with diabetic dogs. Dogs that need medicine. Special needs dogs. I love to play with them, walk them and I will treat them as my own. We raise horses so I have a lot of experience where you have to pay close attention so I would notice if something is off with you dog and I would address it immediately. I currently work 6 hours a day so you would not have to worry about your dog. I would walk, brush, and play with your dog. I would take care of your dog as my own at your home. I would make sure they are loved like my own. If they have special needs or need shots, medicine or anything extra you can feel safe with me.

“Corrine did a fantastic job with our dog. She met him a day before the scheduled walk to make sure our dog was comfortable with her (which he 100% was). She took him on a nice walk and sent pictures which we appreciated. We will definitely contact Corrine next time we need a walk for our dog.”

About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!

About: Growing up my mom always told my family it was "either us or a pet" forbidding us to allow a pet inside. In her defense, she grew up in Europe, their pets were kept/lived outside, and she loves her house spotless. Ever since I can remember animals have had a huge place in my heart. All of the summer has been spent on the docks/marina in New Buffalo with that being said many boaters have dogs. The rule in the marina is that dogs are only allowed to use the bathroom by the railroad tracks, which is about a 15-minute process. So when I was about 8 I started a business on the docks and would take anyone's dog to go the bathroom/walk/play making it convenient for dog owners through The Moore marina. Ever since then, I have cat/dog sat while people have been out of town and in my college town take my friend's dog on a walk or to the dog park. This summer I will be in 10 semester hours for classes through the University of Iowa which is all online allowing me a very flexible schedule. My assignment will be assigned to me Monday and be due either Friday or Sunday night. In between watching lectures and doing homework taking a study break to play or go on a walk with a dog would be refreshing and fill me with happiness. When it comes to dog walking or playing, the most important thing is to ensure the safety and well-being of the pet. A checklist I made for myself to ensure the a safe and fun evirovernmnet : 1) Before starting the walk or play session, I make that the dog has had a chance to go to the bathroom and has access to water. 2) Choose a safe and appropriate area for the walk or play session. If walking in a neighborhood, make sure to use a leash and avoid busy roads or areas with heavy foot traffic. If playing in a park, make sure the area is fenced in and safe for dogs to run and play. 3) Monitor the dog's behavior and adjust the intensity of the walk or play session accordingly. Some dogs may need a more vigorous workout, while others may prefer a more leisurely pace. 4)Bring along water and treats for the dog to reward good behavior and keep them hydrated. 5) Always clean up after the dog by bringing waste bags and properly disposing of any waste. 6)After the walk or play session, check the dog for any injuries or signs of exhaustion. Give them a chance to rest and provide them with fresh water. Every dog is different, and it's important to me to tailor my care to the individual needs of the pet.
