Dog Walkers in Portland, 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!

About: I grew up with dogs so I'm no stranger to dogs of all different shapes & sizes. I've always been an animal person and I look forward to getting to spend time with your pets. I will always treat an animal with all the love and care they deserve. I understand now important it is to have a reliable person to watch these important members of the family. DEVONS08157, https://www.rover.com/sit/devons08157 I used to work part time at the Humane society so i got a lot of hands on experience with many different kinds of pets. I have a pretty flexible schedule so I can work around my other jobs. Also, giving me enough notice is always super helpful so I can plan ahead if I'm needed to stay at your house or drop in so I am dedicating the proper amount of time to your pets. I make sure we have enough time to chat and schedule out a meet and greet so that we can make sure my services will be a right fit for you! I also know how important giving updates are so you will have plenty of pictures!

“Lindsey was great with Leo and very communicative. She is very responsible and is able to handle his crazy puppy energy perfectly! Definitely would recommend her to anyone!”

“Cathy did so well with our German Shepherd. He pulls us pretty hard on walks, but wasn’t an issue for Cathy. She was prompt and caring and very communicative. Would definitely request her services again!”

“Jessica is PHENOMENAL. I knew after the first set of pics that she sent during her stay at my house that my “kids” were in good hands. I have a very nervous dog - Jessica was GREAT with her. She followed all feeding instructions and left my house very clean. I’m definitely using her in the future. THANK YOU JESSICA for helping me enjoy my vacation without having to worry about my “kids”.!!!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for 30 years. As a kid we had English springer spaniels and now that I’m an adult I have a lad/Brittany spaniel mix as well as 4 cats! I’d love to meet you furry friend and take them on walks or just play ball in your backyard. I’m sure my dog, Thorin, would be happy to have a play date or go for a walk anytime! I’m happy to stop in for a potty break or spend the night if you’re out of town for a few days. My schedule is fairly flexible. Being *cough* middle aged, married but without children, my schedule isn’t as full as I’d like it to be. I am a home chef on the side and I teach horseback riding lessons on a very part time basis. This leaves plenty of time to play with your dogs or clean you kitty litter box whenever needed. I’m happy to learn your pets daily routine to help the transition of you being away easier on them. I do have an extremely friendly medium sized dog if your dog would like a friend to walk with. I’m comfortable taking your furry friend to the park, on walks or even just tossing a ball in your backyard. As for our feline friends, I’m happy to clean litter boxes and feed dry or wet food as needed and I can administer medication to those that might need it. I can also collect eggs from your chicken coop and have years of experience with our equine friends also!

“If you are looking for heaven on earth for your dog, you've found the right place! Julie has a dog's dream! Your four legged one will be treated like a king or queen and be given lots and lots of love and attention! Julie has plenty of space for your dog to run and get exercise in her beautiful yard, as well! You won't be disappointed! 5 star treatment for pooches!”

“Mercy has been taking care of my 2 cats for years. She sends me photos when she is at the house with them while i take cruises or day trips with my friends and family. She also is very aware of anything unusual occurring at my home and will even grab my mail. I am a snow bird and take the cats back with me to Michigan but i look forward to our continued friendship & cat sitting relationship when i return to the Gulf Coast of Florida.”

“Morgan is great with all animals, they absolutely love her. She loves to spend time with them walking, playing and snuggling. Morgan has had pets all her life and has always considered them part of the family. She always makes sure they have plenty of water, and feeds them on time every day. Morgan has also done child care for a few years and also did in home care for her cousin who was terminally ill. She is very skilled and responsible when it comes to any form of care.”

“As always, Jackie is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!”

“I have 4 dogs, a cat, turtle and 2 pot belly pigs. Obviously boarding is not an option. Of all the animals, a 14 yr old dog, who requires medication. A diabetic cat on shots twice a day, and one of the pigs also has medication. Add the fact, I am very picky with my home and my pets. Drew gets all the medication right, feeding times and still manages to fit playing in the yard or taking the old dog for a short walk in. I highly recommend Drew for your pet sitting needs. He is trustworthy, reliable and can handle a hodgepodge of animals.”

“Karley is the most dedicated dog lover I've ever met! I have never met someone who pours so much love and attention into her animals! No question your pets will be in the best hands!”

“Lucy is a caring and loving pet owner. Lucy walks her dog and exercises her dog regularly and provides the special nutrition and medical attention pets need. We have taken many a birding trip and camping trip together with our dogs. Always Lucy attends to the needs of her pet in a timely and compassionate manner. I recommend and endorse her as a Rover Sitter.”

“Anthony is honestly the best. He has been walking them for a couple months now and they LOVE IT. He is so happy to see them and is very particular and diligent about reporting on cards and making sure they have a great (and tiring) time. I am SO GLAD I found him and will definitely continue using his services.”
