Dog Walking in Norton Shores

“Jessie was great. She is very knowledgeable and we immediately felt confident in her abilities. She gave Mae a great workout!!! We would highly recommend Jessie and will definitely have her back!”

“Samantha was super helpful over the holiday weekend and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable with her before starting the walk.”

“Judy was amazing! I had a rather chaotic, last-minute request and she was patient, flexible, and kind about the whole situation. Best of all, she took fantastic care of my pup. I won't hesitate to call on her services again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a large part of my life. My parents neighbors and friends have relied on me to watch, walk, and feed their pets ever since I was able to. I am available for dog walking in mornings and afternoons during the week, and boarding for weekdays and weekends. I have a flexible schedule so just reach out and ask! At my home I have access to a dog park along with several walking trails nearby. There is also a nearby park and a lot of free and fenced in space for your pets!

“This guy is phenomenal and I can't recommend him enough. A gentleman and a scholar. Justin has done an amazing job with my dad's dog. Dad is aging and recently injured his back, so Buddy hasn't gotten the training or exercise he needs. Within 3 walks, Buddy, who is petrified of everything, had warmed up to him. Justin went the extra mile, teaching Buddy how to leash walk properly and starting him on commands. The exercise for buddy has given my dad a chance to start actually resting his back and recover. Justin has been patient with Dad and incredibly accommodating with our situation of me being far away while doing this and helping us meet Buddy's goals. I'll definitely book his services again. He's given me great feedback on Buddy's progress, seems to genuinely care about him and empathize with us, and has even given me reassurance while I'm frantically try to care for my dad from a distance. Just a side note that we are trying to get dad into an assisted living community and prepare Buddy to go with him because my dad is so lonely otherwise. (It's good for Buddy too, who adores dad and will mellow out as he matures.) Justin's work has given me the hope that we can reach that goal.”

“Greatest walker in the area! Very responsive and great with our dog. He is a very strong dog and Taylor handled him very well, not an easy feat for sure”

About: I have loved all animals as long as I can remember! My pet care experiences vary from anxious puppies to bearded dragons! I have had successful experiences with rodents such as guinea pigs, dogs, cats, and reptiles. While taking care of your pet I would do my best to provide them with as much love and care as you would! I am currently attending high school but would be able to take care of your pet immediately after that! I could easily fit your animals care into my every day schedule since it is already apart of my daily life! For boarding services, I would do my best to make sure your animal is as comfortable as possible. We all know how stressful sleeping in a new place can be and I would use all of my resources to make sure that your pet would be as pleasant as possible. For other services I would do the same and make sure your animal has a great time with me and would adjust my schedule around their needs.

“Mike has been wonderful in taking care of Stanley for us. He continues to exceed expectations with time spent and helping release some of his energy. He has also been extremely flexible and willing to help out whenever we ask. We are very grateful for all his help in taking care of our precious pooch.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have taken care of a wide variety of pets since I was young, including dogs, cats, and small animals. My experience has taught me how to be attentive, patient, and responsive to each pet’s unique needs. I especially love spending time with dogs—taking them on walks, playing with them outside, and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. Being active myself, I enjoy keeping up with high-energy pets and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I'm responsible, dependable, and genuinely passionate about animals, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own I’m currently working a part-time job, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time watching and playing with your pets. Once the school year begins, I’ll be continuing my college education, but since many of my classes are online, I’ll still have a lot of availability to help out and care for your animals. While I don’t currently have the space to care for pets in my own home, I’d be more than happy to stop by yours to spend time with your animals—whether it’s for playtime, feeding, or just some company. I also love going on walks, especially in safe and pet-friendly areas, so if your dog is high-energy and needs regular exercise, you can trust they’ll be in good hands with me.

About: I have taken care of all types of animals from the time I was little. I was raised around two dogs in childhood, and three dogs in adolescence. We had a golden retriever, a pug, and have two Australian shepherds. I also have two cats and two lovebirds. Growing up, my mom was (and still is!) an English Budgie parakeet breeder. I grew up hand raising and training all kinds of birds. I have trained three puppies (potty trained, trick trained, leash trained, etc.) and have experience training, feeding, and weening very young (2-3 day old) kittens. I also have in-depth experience with freshwater fish, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, hermit crabs, plants, bearded dragons, and mice! I am currently on summer break waiting to go back to university in the fall. I do not have another job currently, except for freelance babysitting jobs and food delivery. I have all the time in the world for pet care, with my own transportation! I treat other people's pets like my own. I have never met a pet of any kind that I did not love. I have always had the softest heart for animals. I would love to shower your fur baby in attention, treats, walks, and love. I am very energetic but can be laid back too- so I vibe with all kids of pets! I will be 100% respectful to your wishes for your baby and your home.

About: I’ve been passionate about caring for animals my entire life. Growing up with dogs and cats of all sizes—from tiny Shih Tzus to massive Mastiffs—has given me firsthand experience in understanding and meeting their unique needs. Since my teens, I’ve volunteered at a kennel and the Humane Society, deepening my skills and love for working with pets. As a reliable and attentive pet sitter, I’ll treat your furry family members as if they were my own. Whether they need cuddles, exercise, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to provide the care and attention they deserve. Let me know how I can help give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work at a local school but I am available after 2:30 on weekdays. On weekends I can accommodate appointments for any time of day! I also am currently going to school online, so that helps free my schedule. Willing to book unanticipated appointments as well :) In my client’s home, I focus on providing attentive, personalized care. I ensure pets stay on their feeding schedules, can administer oral medications responsibly, and adapt to their unique needs—whether that means long walks, playtime, or plenty of cuddles. My goal is to make them feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for.

“We’ve utilized Rish for both training and dog walking in our neighborhood. Great having someone we can trust, who handles our big, hyper, naughty boy so well. Our Z loves her!”

“Amy is diligent and dependable. We appreciate her detailed reports and the care she gives our senior dog.”

On my days off I am avaliable for longer visits or playtime. I will follow your instructions to ensure your pets are happy and well cared for. I will immediately contact you if anything seems off or if there are questions. I will not do anythinf without permission to make sure both pet and pet parent are happy

About: I am willing to take care of all animals. Any kind, size, breed or age. I am available for daily walking, drop-in visits & house sitting. I am currently a stay at home mom. Being home full-time allows my availability to be quite flexible; including but not limited to nights, weekends and holidays. A little about me: I own a home in Norton Shores with my husband of 6 years. We have two beautiful & wild boys. Our furry & feathered babies, include: 2 dogs, 2 cats & 5 chickens. I can ensure you that I will take care of your pets & your home with as much care & respect as I do my own!

“She did amazing with our dog, this was the first time he was left home overnight without someone he knows coming over to walk him. He was absolutely terrified when she came in but she was calm and moved slowly to get his trust and stayed almost an hour between the 30 minute walk and the almost 30 minutes of getting him to trust her. 10/10 would hire again.”

About: Growing up my family had a small rescue that I helped run, now being grown myself I want to help people and pets out anyway I can! Whether it’s a potty break, walk around the block or a nice hike and some treats! I’m currently working Monday- Friday. I am available the whole day so if you’re looking for someone who’s around all day I’m you’re person! I’m also available after 5pm the days I do work! I am not currently doing in home services due to having two dogs myself in a small home but I am very cautious when it comes to safety and trust. I always make sure doors are shut, fences are locked, collars are on and secured (harnesses too). And I’m always on the lookout for pets getting into stuff they’re not supposed to.

About: Ever since my dog has passed away, animals find there way to my care, weather it’s a insect or a bird. I find my dogs energy all around me, it’s like it spreads with other dogs, and all I want is to care for them like my dog cared for me all those years. Even tho I took care of him in his last moments, he’s still taking care of me by bringing me all these new friends Im currently in school! for psychology:) so im free to take care of a pup, everyday, before class and after! i only have morning classes so im pretty open I care for pets by looking at them beyond there furry faces, I care about them as if there my own, while also remembering this isn’t my pet and i’m here to protect and care.
