Dog Walkers in Ovid, MI

About: I started dog sitting and taking care of animals when I was 18. Whether it was for my neighbors or my friend’s dogs or cats, they were always welcome at my place! Also, I have worked at the humane society as a volunteer many times and have rescued multiple dogs and cats from there over the years! I’ve taken multiple dog training classes as well and learned how to train dogs using positive reinforcement, treats, and praise! Currently, I work from home. I am also a stay-at-home dog and cat mom of 1 dog and 2 cats! My hours and days that I work are extremely flexible! My main goal is to make your pets as comfortable as possible when I visit! Whether that’s playing a bunch, or sitting on the couch to give them pets is up to them! I will make sure they are taken care of and I will follow your instructions to a T on what to do to care for them!

“Malena was absolutely wonderful with Bodie! She took a bunch of pictures and was very flexible with scheduling. Bodie is looking forward to his next walk with Malena!”

“Teri was wonderful with our attention seeking bulldog-Frankie, and gave our bully all the attention she demanded. Teri sent pictures and updates to me while on vacation and responded to any texts or phone calls swiftly. She was respectful of our home and made sure her schedule worked around Frankie being comfortable. Teri even slept with Frankie, which means she probably didn’t get the best sleep because of how noisy and loud Frankie snores but because it meant Frankie was comfortable she did so -have you ever tried telling a bulldog “no”? I was at ease knowing Frankie was in the care of a true dog lover like Teri. I don’t even think the bulldog cared we were missing for several days because of how pampered she was with Teri. I highly recommend her”

“Ashley has always been very attentive to animals large and small. Whether its cats, dogs, cows, or various wild animals, Ashley adores them all. She is also a very conscientious and forthright person who can be trusted with other people's pets. There is no doubt that she will care for them as if they were her own.”

“Conscientious, caring and reliable. Jessi did a great job.”

“Adrienne is a passionate pet owner and animal lover. She has a dog and 2 cats currently. She is diligent with their care and makes the time for daily walks as well as play time. Her pets love her for it. She is an incredibly responsible individual who takes pride in being punctual and a job well done.”

“Courtney would be an amazing pet caregiver. Having had two dogs and cats herself, I know she always puts their needs and their safety before her own. Loving and owning a pet is such a beautiful experience! But, I think some people are selfish and treat their pets as accessories in their lives rather than family and an independent being. Courtney is the opposite. She understands that their happiness and their well-being comes before, if not beside, her own. I know she would care for any pets she is fostering or sitting as if they were her own pet. Her hands and heart are to be trusted.”

“Molly is wonderful with our Newfoundland! She sends us pictures, updates, and makes us feel comfortable. She has worked at a vet clinic and has a wealth of knowledge on all breeds. We highly recommend her!”

“Valentina Lopez fed water walked and rode our horse and cared for our dogs cats ducks chickens fish aquarium etc. And volunteer hours at local human society and did much animal care there did consider vetrinarian school at one point and would be a good animal caregiver. Sincerely, Nick Lopez”

“Kallie is awesome and I am always so happy when she’s available to pet sit for our 2 dogs and 2 cats. I hate taking the dogs to a kennel. It’s reassuring having her stay with them as we know we’ll return home and they’ve been well taken care of and they don’t go through the anxiety and lack of sleep being boarded at a kennel. Jill P.”

About: Hello I’m back now, I started watching dogs and then I went back to work full time so it got to be to much but I’m now retired. I am available most anytime to care for your pet, I believe animals can sense if you like them or if you’re a good person, I truly believe they have a keen sense of this. I’ve had animals most of my life, I’ve always wanted to rescue animals from abusive people and harmful situations, it’s my dream to one day have a farm where I can take in any pet and care for them!.

I’ll always have the best interest of your animal first!

“Jenna has watched my two dogs many times over the last two years. Both dogs absolutely adore her and she does very well handling them. As soon as they see her they get extremely excited because they know she is going to take them for walks and spoil them while she has them. If you’re looking for someone that will love your dogs as her own, I couldn’t recommend a better dog sitter than Jenna.”

“Ava is great with dogs. Our dog loves her. She helps us out when we are out of town or on vacations. Our dog is on different medicine and Ava never forgets to give them to her. Whenever we mention Ava's name to our dog she gets excited and runs to the window or door looking for her. Ava has also stayed at our house while we are at work to help out with our dog due to her allergies or if she is sick.”

“Carly is amazing with animals! She watched my baby’s every time we’re out of town and takes great care of them. She is always cuddling, loving, and playing with them so that they can feel the love even when I’m not there. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Nichole is very good with all animals. She is attentive, kind nature that dogs and cats seem to respond to. I would highly recommend her.”

About: Ive taken care of dogs with different ages, sizes and breeds. I can train them to do ticks, and much more. I have a gentle soul and caring heart. I’ve given medication when instructed and groom them and play with them. I’ll make them so tired and relaxed by the end of the day. I’m not working at the moment. So I’m free from Monday- Friday 8:30am- 3:30pm. I do weekends at night only. 7pm- midnight. Or over night I have a dog house and a park across the street. I am willing to watch your animals at your house. I feel the animals own home is the best comfort.

About: I've owned pets of all kinds starting as a child! Animals bring me incredible joy, and I'd love to bring that joy into your home when I watch yours! I've owned, rescued and loved cats, dogs, rabbits, ducks, raccoons, birds, and squirrels! I currently own 4 cats, all of which were rescues. Two of them brother and sister who I hand raised and bottle fed. I also have 3 dogs, A gaggle a blue heelers, so I'm especially used to high energy pups. Though they very recently left my care due to a separation. I take great pride in the attention to detail I give to the animals in my care. I'm experienced in giving all kinds of medications, to both dogs and cats. In fact, one of my own kitties has kidney disease, and I've been managing his treatment and care 100% alone. Cooking him three meals a day, hand feeding, administering any medications needed, and even giving him at-home subcutaneous fluids. But as always, let's please communicate about the details of your pet beforehand if any special care is needed so we can make sure we're a great fit for eachother! I'm a corporate professional who is very fortunate to work from home, and has really great control of their schedule! So I can very likely work my schedule around your needs! For those whose pets I will be dropping in on to feed or walk, I take great care in making sure instructions are followed, and all the needs of your pets are met! I have an abundance of love to give, so rest assured that they'll get as many scritches as they can handle, and as much fulfillment as I can give while I'm there. I know what it's like to have to leave your fur-family alone, and I'll do everything I can to make this time a positive one for them, and you! I also offer cat boarding, which seems rarely offered. I wanted to offer this because I myself have been in a situation where I've needed this service, and I've never found a place that offers it, and it was absolutely so stressful so try and find a solution! For the kitties that stay with me, I have a completely separate spot in my house that I will have them stay in, since I have kitties of my own. The previous owner of my house actually had this section designed as an in-home salon, so it has a completely separate entrance into my home. As cat owners, we know how sensitive and stressed they can get, and introducing cats to other new cats just adds more unnecessary stress. This separate entrance and room allows for a stress free, safe environment that's large and clean to play and hang in, all to themselves! They will have their own sanitized, fresh litter, litterbox at the ready for them. No need to have to haul your own supplies here! Just bring any food and treats (or any special toys or blankets that you feel might be good things for them to enjoy their stay better, or be more at ease!) Your pets must be fully vaccinated in order to come stay, so please be ready to show proof of up to date vaccinations prior to any boarding bookings. This is for the safety of both your fur babies and mine.

“Susan is caring, compassionate, and giving individual. She puts all her heart into every thing she does. Her love and care is shown in everything she does. I am sure she will love and care for your pets as much as she does her own.”

“Kaily did an awesome job taking our two dogs out for a long walk several times while we were on vacation and my mom was sitting them! She was a great communicator and flexible to work with. She was also super accommodating to each dogs needs. Our older dog Sadie got tired out so Kaily brought her back early and then continued on with our younger pup who wanted a longer walk. Would recommend Kaily!”

“Sophie is my daughter and has grown up with farm animals and has shown in fairs as well. She has grown up doing chores, cleaning barns, training goats and calves. She has a fun personality and any pet would love her.”
