Dog Walking in Oakland-Winchell, Kalamazoo, MI

“Great walk! Erin was on time and took great care of both dogs while I was out of town for the day. I appreciated the pictures and map of their dog walk route! Thanks, Erin!!”

“An absolute wonderful person to watch after your pet! She was so loving toward Charlie and he had an absolutely blast with her while I was out of town. Big thanks to Theresa!”

“Very sweet with my pup”

“Christi has had a life long live of dogs. She has one of her own and enjoys helping friends and family with caring for their dogs when needed. Christi takes the time to walk, pet and cuddle dogs whatever is needed.”

“In Switzerland, Daniel was volunteering at the official Zurich kennel. We have a bichon frisé, a rescue dog with parvo virus. He gets seizures when we miss his medication. Daniel takes him for daily walks. Until recently, we had a Shi-Zu, another rescue dog, named Binx. He was older., Daniel loved Binx. Unfortunately Binx had heart problems. Binx needed a lot of medications, and the vet had to put him down. Daniel was very upset about Binx. Daniel has a long history with dogs. He loves dogs.”

“Awesome! Very friendly and reliable! Would not hesitate to use her every time to walk our dog!!”

About: I completed the Dog Walking Academy in November 2018, provided by TipTopTails Training in Kalamazoo. Also completed Pet Tech CPR, First Aid and Care in November 2018. Having recently retired from WMU, I am looking forward to spending time with your dog(s) or cat(s) and earning some extra income. I have been a dog owner all of my life, my husband and I currently have one American Staffordshire Terrier rescue named Mazzie who is three years old. I am available to come to your home to visit with and care for your pets, I am not able to house your animals at my home during the day or overnight. Eventually, these services may also be available. I have experience with dogs who need daily medications (insulin, seizure meds) or those with chronic issues. I am available to care for your pet(s) in your home while you are away for the day or on vacation. I am retired from WMU and have fairly open days and evenings. I am not able to do overnights at this time. I have had many dogs and right now we have adopted a new rescue dog, a Staffordshire terrier who is about 3 years old. For that reason, I do not bring your animals to my home, I come to you.

“McKenzie has a true heart for animals. I think she’d have them all live with her if she could. Our dog is a bit aggressive and she handles him just fine. She just pours out so much love on animals. Your pets will be in great hands if she takes care of them for you. She is respectful and trustworthy.”

“Jess stands out as the biggest, most compassionate animal lover I've ever known. She has a heart for all living creatures and treats them with kindness and respect. She did a wonderful job with our pups! They had a great time with Jess!”

“Paige is amazing and super caring with pets! She takes care of them and loves them like her own. She will know how to do everything that is needed, feeding, training, administering medicine. Also, all the loving in the world will be given!”

“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.”

About: I've had different kinds of pets since I was 8. I have taken care of rabbits, cats, dogs, fish, and turtles. I always have a thing when it comes to animals, I really enjoy their presence. I'm very playful with animals and I always make sure that the animals I take care of are comfortable and happy being around me. I am currently a full time student. If you need me on weekdays please let me know because I have different schedules each day. Notes: I am pretty much available for the summer! My apartment is pet friendly. There's a big field next to my apartment. There is a lot of puppies in my neighborhood so your dog won't ever get lonely. There's also dog waste bags everywhere near my apartment, so your dog can potty anywhere. For cats, I have cat toys in my apartment because I have 2 cats but they currently live at my parents house, for potty I might have to buy the sand or if you could provide one that would be awesome!

“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!!”

“Jacqueline has given my dog Scooter walks & love throughout my workdays. She always provides great pictures & feedback about Scooter’s behavior. By the looks of it, Scooter always loves to see her! I would recommend Jacqueline to anyone needing their dog walked.”

About: I have been dog-sitting for five years now. I would say I’m a very patient person as I teach dance to young children. I am very hardworking and trustworthy person. I’m currently finishing a degree in dance and marketing! Following my college graduation, I will be available during the day until I go to teach dance. My schedule varies each day and sometimes varies week to week, but I always have my morning available. I am definitely a morning person! I keep my home and my own spaces very clean and organized. I really don’t like clutter which makes for safer environments for your animals.

“Maggie is the best!! Our dogs were staying with my elderly parents while we were out of town and needed to be walked everyday. Maggie came to our rescue and walked them daily and gave them VIP treatment! Maggie is a dependable, professional loving care giver and we would definitely call her again to care for our dogs!!”

“Jordan was wonderful with Emma (Labradoodle)! Emma needed short walks 2x/day and lots of cuddles and reassurance during overnights! Emma LOVED spending time with Jordan - and was so excited to see jordan every time she came to visit! Jordan asked questions to assure Emma had what she needed and kept me informed about how Emma was doing with pics and daily updates!”

“Elliott is a very caring individual. He is responsible, timely, and detail oriented. He has experience dog sitting for family members. He is absolutely pawfect!”

“I can attest that Connie is a very loving, caring, and responsible pet caregiver. She comes from a family owning 3 Brittany Spaniels. She has volunteered and assisted NBRAN (a rescue group for Brittanys) by helping foster Brittany's of all ages from puppy to elders, some with major health problems. She has personally assisted me while volunteering at the Alcona County Humane Society. She has years of experience taking care of many dogs and is responsible with walking them, meals, administering medications if needed, and giving an abundance amount of love to your fur baby. She has a devout work ethic in keeping your house clean, secure, and providing that one on one care for your loved one should you need overnight stays. Please consider her as a trustworthy and loving individual who will provide the perfect care for your house and pets!”

“Paige has been around a variety of animals her entire life from horses to guinea pigs to dogs, both big and small. Her best quality in approaching pet care is specificity. She realizes every pet needs to be treated with individuality for them to have the best experience and is willing to be flexible to provide the best care. Her love for animals is very apparent and I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter.”
