Dog Walking in Portage

“I had a great experience with Jaime! She was quick to respond and worked with me to find a time that suited both our schedules. She arrived on time, was incredibly sweet with my dog, and really took the time to connect with her. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure all of her needs were met. I would definitely recommend her and will continue to use her services moving forward!”

“Lynn is wonderful with our dogs! We are so grateful for the weekly walks. She gives great feedback and is very flexible. So glad we found her!”

Laura A.

“Sometimes luck is on your side. We chose Cara at random from possible Rover dog walkers, and it turns out she is a dream come true! Punctual, flexible, kind, funny, and smart, she has turned out to be exactly the right person for our needs and preferences. Pivo goes nuts with excitement when he sees her coming. He performs zoomies on walks, and even though she says he's tired out, will do them when he's back. We love her! Yay, Cara! Awesome job!”

“Kurt was professional and was able to walk my dog on a rather short notice. Would use again!”

Brian M.

“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!!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. Currently I have a 2 year old Standard poodle and a sweet kitty I’ve always loved learning about dogs breeds and dog behavior and have pet sat for many pets off of this app. I can do early mornings and late nights. And I can do drop ins sometimes during the middle of the day depending on the day. All days of the week. I will let your dog outside to potty if you have a fenced yard, or leash and take outside. After I clean up after your dog we can have some play time and water and fed on their schedule.

“Alixandra is great! She is super communicative, offered to meet Kane before walking him, and came to our home to get the run down on our Kelpie. She sent lots of pictures and updates and is just wonderful. Would definitely trust her with our pup again.”

“She was wonderful with my 2 labs. She came even with cold temps and adjusted time around bad winter road. She's good work communication and taking care of the boys.”

About: I grew up with pets and currently have my own 4 fur babies at home! I own my home with a fenced in yard! I can watch your dog in my home if you prefer but do not mind staying over if that is what you would like! I offer walking services as well if that is what your fur baby needs during the day. I do allow my pets on the furniture and bed but can keep yours off if you would prefer! Being crate trained is not necessary and I can help with potty training for any puppies that will be in my care. I do have a full time 9-5 job but I can easily leave at lunch for any potty breaks your fur babies will need! I do work full time 9-5 every day but I can leave for lunch to let your fur baby outside or give meds if needed! I have a fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in! I stay outside with them while they do business to ensure safety. Playtime is a necessity so we will have multiple times a day to play outside with a tennis ball or go for walks

About: Since the age of 12, I have taken care of both dogs and cats! I love animals and do not discriminate against breed or age. I want your pet(s) to feel comfortable and at peace when you are away from them. My experience ranges from overnight sitting, day sitting, bathing, feedings, bathroom breaks, administering medications, and quick check-in's. My goal is to make your pets feel loved, well taken care of, and happy while in my care. I work a full time job, Monday-Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. I typically only work 1 day in office and the other four at home. I am able to bring my computer and do my work outside of my office and home location. When I am in the office, there are opportunities for me to stop by and let your animals use the bathroom, eat, or play. In your home, I will make sure to follow the routine that best fits your pet. Whether it is adhering to a specific diet, giving them medicine, following a bathroom schedule, etc., I want to make your time away from them as easy as possible. I will care for your pets like they are my own and always keep open communication throughout my time with them.

About: I have had pets my whole life and love to spend time and play with all animals. I have been dog sitting for 6 years for coworkers and friends. I have a 3 year old Catahoula Hound mix that I adopted from the SPCA! I am a medical assistant during the week for Bronson and would love to spend time with animals on the weekends playing or going for walks. I make a point to let the animal smell and come to me. It is their environment and they don't know me yet! Once they are comfortable I love to get on the ground and play.

About: I have had pets of many kinds almost my entire life and many friends have entrusted me with the care of their pets while away. My friend who ran a successful rescue trusts me with her medically complex rescues. I follow whatever instructions are there with special attention paid to any medications that need to be given or other special details. I'm a freelancer that spends too much time sitting while I work. I'm very excited to add more walks into my life and a bit more out of the house time taking care of your furry friends when you need! In your home I will do everything in my power to take good care of your four legged friend. Whether that means medicating them at the right times, chilling on the couch for a bit of snuggling, or playing fetch in the backyard (or living room) until the exciteable animal is a little more chill from getting energy out.

About: I've had a dog since I was 3 and currently have my own 2 year old doggo that I got in Jan 2022. Neighbors and friends rely on me to pet sit for them. I have experience with all sized dogs. I also has experience with cat sitting as well! Me and my roommates currently foster cats. I’m a part-time student at WMU. I class 12-3 on Wednesdays, but other than that I’m pretty much free. I do have a dog of my own and need to care for him as well. I'm willing to do anything the pet needs whether that be making sure the animal take needed meds, changing wound dressings, or running around a dog park. I'm also very patient with animals!

About: I have experience with puppies and old puppies, big and small! As well as horses, bunnies, fish and cats! Along with understanding basic animal health and care I also know basic grooming, such as bathing, brushing and trimming nails I am a very reliable and punctual person especially when it comes to fur babies as they rely on us to be happy and healthy. As for myself I currently have an eleven year old maltese poodle mix, named Rocco, a four year old german shepherd named Reagan and a few fish. I also grew up along side a german shepherd and two cats. I’m currently in college but have plenty of free time throughout the week! With my current dogs I typically play and walk them as much as possible while keeping up with their training and needs as one is highly reactive and the other is elderly with medical needs. In a clients home I strive to always have the fur baby insight and active! Activity and safety are my top two priorities when it comes to animals. A safe and active pet is a happy pet in my eyes! I also pay close attention to their actions and appearances as a precaution.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 5 families in my neighborhood as well as walked them for 3 of the families. I love getting to know them and care for them. I am currently working part time at Monelli’s as a hostess, as well as preparing to be a full time student at Western Michigan University in the fall. Pet care will be a side hustle to fit in where I can so I have something fun to do between classes. As I settle into routine, I may be open to house sitting on the weekends. I have many pet sitting experiences and I am quick an active person, so I love to go on walks with the fur babies. Currently, pet sitting would be at a client’s house because I live with my parents and will be moving into a dorm in the fall.

About: I have owned my own pet sitting business for 7 years! Now that I have moved, I need a new clients in the Kalamazoo Area! I’m currently a part time nurse. I am looking to expand our shared business up to the Kalamazoo Area! I’ve owned a pet sitting business for 7 years! I treat everyone’s pets as my own. I love to create a trusting relationship between them and myself. When you have to leave, your pet will have no worry being with me!

About: I have had the privilege of caring for dogs my whole life, which has given me extensive experience in walking, feeding, and providing companionship to these wonderful animals. One of my favorite aspects of pet care is walking dogs. Whether it's a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood or a more adventurous hike, I ensure that each dog enjoys their walk while maintaining a steady pace and keeping an eye out for any potential hazards. My experience in pet care has taught me how to be attentive to the needs of each dog, build trust with them, and ensure they receive the love and care they deserve. Whether it's through exercise, meals, or simply offering my time, I always aim to be a responsible and caring companion to the dogs in my care. I am able to balance pet-care with my responsibilities as a part-time substitute teacher and mom of 3. The flexibility of my schedule allows me to dedicate time to my pet care duties while still teaching part time. When caring for pets in peoples homes, my primary focus is always on their safety, comfort, and well-being. I believe that creating a safe and loving environment is essential to ensuring the pets feel secure and cared for while their owners are away.

“Excellent service! Asked good questions to make sure they were prepared and communicated great. Would book again!”

“Our dogs can sometimes be a handful on walks and Makayla was great with them. She gave them a nice long walk and tired them out. We received a nice report card and pictures. We would definitely use her again.”

About: Hi my name is Christie and I am a huge Animal Lover! To me, dogs and cats aren’t just animals they are lifelong companions. 💕 I have many years of experience caring for a multitude of animals (30+ to be exact). As a kid, we had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds you name it. In high school, I worked for a groomer and learned a lot about how to properly care for different animals. I've always had a passion for rescuing because of my mom and her love of rescuing/saving animals in need of a home. It’s something that she passed down to me. RIP Momma I Miss You! ❤️‍🩹 My philosophy is that every animal deserves to know what love is in its fullest form so that is what I strive to provide to each and every animal in my care. I just recently lost our two oldest rescues dogs named Romeo and our Wheaton Terrier named Hayley. Oh and let us not forget our very outspoken Torti cat named Nala whom we loved dearly. So we rescued our beautiful cat Bella and most recently a sweet 4 month old puppy named Nova. They are my furrkids, my companions, my therapy animals, and my little loves. As a self-employed cosmetologist I am blessed with a flexible schedule which allows me the opportunity to be here to help care for your pet companions in the best ways possible. I am flexible and I am open to helping when & where I’m needed. I have references I can provide from those whose animals I have cared for previously that I will happily provide. Exercise is important to me so we like to spend time taking the animals we care for on long walks or hikes, swimming, or to the park to chase a ball or frisbee. I strive to give them the love and play time that they deserve. 🫶🏻 I am currently self-employed so I’ll have lots of time to dedicate to your furbaby/furbabies. I’m dedicated to making sure your pet feels loved and accepted in our home. I have two friendly dogs who will give your furbaby lots of playtime fun. We teach tricks and go for daily walks, play fetch, and support lots of playtime. Daily snuggles and love are a must!!
