Dog Walkers in Old Mission, MI

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and there has been a pup in my home since I was seven years old. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities — from tiny puppies to giant breeds, energetic social butterflies to more reserved companions who prefer human company. I’ve been sitting informally for friends and family members for years and have cared for up to four animals in one household. Whether your furbaby loves long hikes or prefers being a cozy couch potato, I’m happy to match their energy and accommodate their needs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I pride myself on providing attentive, individualized care. At home, I have a 15-year-old gecko, so I’m comfortable caring for animals of all kinds — furred, feathered, or scaled. Up until recently I also had a 15 year old pup, but it was with a heavy heart that my husband and I had to say goodbye to him this past fall. I also have 15 years of equine experience, including grooming, feeding, and mucking stalls, so I’m no stranger to hard work or getting a little messy when the job calls for it. I’ve even spent time moonlighting at Yard Bar in Austin, where I got to know countless hilarious pup personalities (I’d love to share some stories when we meet!). While I’m not a licensed trainer, I’m confident in reinforcing basic leash manners and encouraging positive behavior. I’m also experienced in recognizing behaviors to be on the lookout for when socializing animals. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities when they are in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or scaly!) family member soon! Thanks for reading! I work remotely and have a fully mobile setup, which allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. If your pet needs companionship, midday walks, or just someone present in the home, I can easily work from your space to ensure they’re never alone for long stretches. I do have a 4-year-old who attends school full-time, and transportation is typically handled by Dad, so it does not typically interfere with my availability. Overall, my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate your pet’s routine and specific needs with ease. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I’m attentive, mindful on walks, and committed to keeping routines consistent so your pet feels secure and stress-free. I know the trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My truck is meant to get dirty — so if your pup loves lighthouse walks, I don’t mind a few muddy pawprints on the back seat. Whether we’re adventuring or relaxing at home, I create a safe, calm environment tailored to your pet’s needs.

“Molly did a great job. Took Olive on long walks, sent pics and made sure my pup got her energy out while I was working. It’s nice to know while I’m working I do t have to worry because my dog is in good hands.”

About: I am a 37 year old animal lover who works in the service industry with a flexible schedule and adventurous lifestyle. My dog, Kiteboarding and camping are my top 3 passions in life. I volunteer for the rescue I got my dogs from and walk many of them on Monday's. Serving is great but doesn't always pay the bills and I have several friends who have loved sitting through rover, and I love dogs and cats so it seemed like a no brainer. I hope to meet you and your furry companions soon! Tuesday through Saturday I work at 3pm so can only do mornings/early afternoons those days. Sundays/Mondays my schedule rotates but I have room typically for one drop in/two walks before or after my shifts those days, I just am sometimes scheduled in the morning until around 430. I can care for your baby however you feel most comfortable and don't mind special requests or requirements, whatever keeps them safe and happy! I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs.

About: I have been around animals since a very young age. I grew up having to care for my dogs, cats, horses, cows, and sheep! I participated in 4-H for 10 years showing both cattle and sheep. Throughout high school and college I worked at a doggy day care, that cared for both cats and dogs, either for day visits or overnight stays. I was responsible for making sure the animals were as comfortable as possible. This involved cleaning their kennels daily, feeding, and medications. Later, I worked as a veterinary assistant for 6 months. I have house/dog and cat sat for various friends and family members throughout the years as well. I am very flexible! I am more than happy to stay at your home while pet sitting or simply come by to care for the pet a couple times a day. Open to working with you to figure out the best solution for your pet. Unfortunately my current lease does not allow pets. I am more than happy to work with you and figure out a schedule/plan that would fit your needs! While I am at a clients house I would stay in good communication with them. In the past, I have sent daily pet photos to the client and sending them updates whenever possible.

I look forward to meeting you and your animals! Please message me with any questions or concerns. Thanks! -Marg I watch dogs part time when I’m not working on freighters , this allows me to dedicate all my attention to clients when I’m not working.

About: I have had pets of my own for the past 38 years, since I was 12 years old. I also have a degree in biology and chemistry and have worked in animal hospitals and zoos. My husband, Scott, has had pets all his life. We treat our pets with the love and care that family members deserve, and we take our responsibility to them very seriously. Currently, we have a 2 year old black lab who absolutely loves all other animals, and a 14 year old cat who mostly sleeps in quiet, dark places. Our dog, Rosie, is always looking for new friends and is very submissive with them. She just wants to play and snuggle! Our children are grown and help with the care of them. Our house is full of pet lovers! We are very active and love to go for hikes, and we always keep dogs on their leash on the trails. We're happy to take your doggy to the dog park, as well, if you request it. You can have total peace of mind while your pup stays with us! I currently work part time and Scott, my husband, is a teacher and has summers off. I'm home a lot during the entire year, and we're both home on weekends. We have a fenced in backyard for running around and playing fetch. We have a large house and a fenced in yard where our dog, Rosie, loves to run around or playing fetch with us. We regularly go for walks in the neighborhood and hikes in the woods or on the beach. We love to take Rosie to the dog park, but will skip it if you're not comfortable with it. Scott is a teacher and has weekends and all summer free. Stephanie works part time, mostly from home and is at home most of the time during the week and is also available weekends. We have a large fenced yard and a wonderful Labrador retriever to keep your fur baby happy! We love giving dogs love and attention! We also love to take walks if that is something your dog enjoys.
