Dog Walking Norteast Citizens Action

About: At a young age, I began to understand and care for our pets and those of friends and family members. I’ve learned how to be patient, kind, and active in order to provide the best care for dogs of various ages and sizes. Living in an apartment now post college, I’ve quickly realized how much I miss the joy and love a dog can bring. I would be incredibly honored to care and provide the most love to your furry family members! I do have a hybrid work schedule but it does come with flexibility to work around any at home requirements. I’ll typically be out of town Monday through Thursday, and have Friday through Sunday available at home. If given enough advance notice, I can manage my schedule to fit around your pets schedule. My work events can change weekly, so planning ahead of time is essential. When I’m not on the road, I work from home and have the ability to care for pets around the clock. My apartment complex is pet friendly, and there are many dogs that live throughout the building. There is an open grass area where many of them do their business, but I do prefer to walk around the block to give your dog more to sniff and space to choose where they’d like to “go”. There are also many local parks that I enjoy going to for little adventures! Since I will likely be working from home while caring for your pet, I will be able to provide 24 hour care and understand their needs throughout the day. Over the weekends, this will also be provided, as I typically stay home and go out around the area locally only.

“Sophia took great care of my dog for his afternoon walk. Very communicative and quick responses if I needed anything. I knew my dog was in good hands”

Tara S.

“First time Rover users, so we did a walk with Lillie to get Odin acclimated before house sitting for a week next week. Lillie handled Odin’s confusion very well and took him around the subdivision and took notes for the upcoming stay.”

“Kevin has been walking our dog, Obi for a few weeks now. He’s always been on time and has great availability. We’ve had a few last minute (night before) bookings and he’s usually always happy to help. It’s great coming home to a tired dog and trusting that he’s getting taken care of while we are at work”

Larissa A.

“Lauren has been amazing to work with! She met with us before since my dog can be a little shy but he warmed up quickly to her. She was always on time and quick to respond. I’d recommend her to anyone in need of pet walking/sitting etc.”

Paige B.

“Thanks for giving me peace of mind about Ernie.”

John F.

“Rebecca was so amazing and it was so nice having such detailed info about the walks and how Jackson was doing with pictures! We booked last minute and Rebecca was such a life saver! We will definitely be booking again in the future!”

Denielle F.

“Jasmine is an awesome dog walker! She was very attentive and left some of the best notes I've ever had from a dog walker/sitter, which I really appreciated. She also used rover cards, which helps a ton, so I know where Moe walked and how far during the day. 10/10 will use again. I can also tell she has a lot of good experience working with animals. Thanks Jasmine!”

Rob P.

“Leah is so good with our baby, super communicative and he just adores her and their time!”

Hailey J.

“My old pup can be anxious and ramped up with care givers so I am delighted that he was calm with Tyler. I will definitely have Tyler take care of my fur babe again knowing I can depend on him and will not be stressed while on vacation.”

Dana M.

“I am a very over protective doggie mom. I met Claire and instantly liked her and so did my Daisy. She helped us out for a few days and I cannot tell you how pleased and grateful I am for hiring her. She is wonderful with dogs (and mine is strong and a bit wild). My dog LOVES her! I cannot recommend Claire enough! I wish this offered more than 5 stars!”

Laura H.

“Katie always takes such great care of Ding! Very professional, great communicator, and very easy to get along with. Highly recommended, thanks Katie!”

Matthew H.

“Tayler has been super helpful, was able to accomodate my 11th hour requests to check in on my dog, feed and walk him. My dog appears to have taken to her quite well.”

About: I am an active PE teacher who also loves being active with my current dog Lola. Happy to walk or run your dog. I also do some basic sit and pause training. Finally, I will let the owner choose if they would like their dog walked or to go for a run. With being a teacher, I currently have Summers off and I'm looking to be up and active with my dog and other people's dogs. Weekends during the school year, allow me ample amount of time to fit your dog's needs. I am respectful of time, property, and most importantly your pet. As a teacher, I will give your dog the time, commitment, and love it needs and deserves

“Anna was fantastic with helping out last minute and did a great job caring for our puppy! She communicated well and also shared adorable photos of our pup on their walk who looked like a happy pup :)”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I love dogs so much that I volunteer at our local shelters. Recently moved back to the NE side of GR. Available weekends too! I work full time indoors, weekdays. Walking dogs will get me up and moving weekend mornings. I’d like the accountability and fresh air… retiring soon and may want to this more. I have small and large crates and tons of pet cushions, dog bowls, and treats. I’ve had pets my whole life and they are like family members to me.

“Colleen has been walking our dog consistently for a few months now and our dog LOVES her! She has been super reliable, as we new parents and have limited time to go on long walks with our high-energy golden doodle. She also does a great job granted he pulls a ton. We are so grateful for her!”

Hayley S.

“Excellent Appreciate you taking good care of my little boy😊”

About: Growing up I wasn’t allowed to have pets because of some allergies in my family, but I never met a pet I didn’t like. I took jobs watching dogs and cats any chance I could get. Neighbors still rely on me to feed, walk, and care for their pets to this day. I am a full time student at GVSU, so longer term care needs to happen on the weekends. However, my class schedule has lots of space during the day, so I’m happy to stop by for walks and playtime! I am currently unable to take pets in my home because they are not allowed. However, I have a lot of experience with different types of animals and their needs, and I’d be happy to learn what you pet needs!

“Emma went above and beyond when walking our puppy! You can tell she truly cares for your fur-child and does a wonderful job. She communicates well and even took the time to come meet him before his walk! Will definitely rebook and know that our Taco will love to see her again :)”
