Dog Walking in Saginaw

About: *NEW CLIENTS* If you have sent a message/request on Sunday, I will respond to you on Monday. Thank you! Hello! I’m Lexi, and I would love to help care for your furry friend! I have had pets my entire life and know how important it is for them to continue receiving lots of love, attention, and exercise in our absence.  Whether you're looking for dog walking services while you're at work or drop-in visits when you're out of town, I'm happy to help! I want to know that my pets are cared for and loved while I'm away, and I want to provide you with that same assurance and peace of mind. I also know how important it is that dogs receive daily exercise, but know only too well that life can get busy, so I'm happy to come and play or walk with your dog!  I do not currently offer overnight stays, but if your pet can go all night without someone present, I'm happy to create a custom schedule of drop-ins based on their needs. I'm also happy to do some household tasks, such as watering plants and washing litter boxes, at an additional cost. Note: I'm happy to collect mail at no additional cost. If you are looking for someone to love on your pet in your absence, please reach out and let me know how I can help!    *BEFORE BOOKING* ~ I require a meet & greet before accepting a booking and therefore do not accept bookings with less than 3 days' notice, except in certain situations. ~My current service radius is 3 miles (or up to 10 minutes from my house) for multiple drop-ins and 6 miles for dog walking (or 1x day drop-in visits). I'm happy to book outside of my service radius, but please note that these bookings will be subject to a $1 per extra mile fee. ~ If you are booking walks, dog/s must be leash-trained (no excessive pulling, leash biting, etc.). ~ Up to 3 cats are included in my cat care rate. There is a $5 per cat charge for more than three cats. I currently work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. When submitting a service request, please send a message letting me know what you need, and I'll let you know whether I can accommodate. :) I am very conscientious when it comes to a pet's safety. When your furry friend and I are together, you can rest assured that I will do my utmost to keep them safe and properly cared for. I am also happy to send photo updates if requested.

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life! From jumping spiders to 150 pound dogs. I am studying in college right now to become a veterinarian. I have always wanted to work and care for animals, I also volunteer at many shelters nearby and used to foster! So if you need anyone to walk, feed, pet, or even just to drop in and check on your pets I can do that! I am currently working at a restaurant part time so I have plenty of time on my days off to play with your pets! I have three dogs of my own and one cat so I know that pet care is a daily need. In your home I can follow any instructions you need from times your pet needs to be woken up, fed, play, walks, given medicine, and even time set aside for training! For both cats and dogs I have trained both of my pets! Or if your pet is create trained, I can make sure all of your house rules stay that for your pet!

About: I’ve cared for all kinds of pets throughout my life, from small animals like rats to large dogs. I’ve spent years pet sitting for family and friends, and growing up, our home was always full of animals. We currently have one dog, Baggins, a Great Pyrenees and the sweetest gentle giant. He loves having a companion to play with, and since we lost our older dog last year, I can tell he truly misses that friendship. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, I’d love to help! Skills & Expectations: • Comfortable with all types and sizes of pets • Experience with walking, feeding, and playtime • Attentive, reliable, and caring • I treat every pet as if they were my own • Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to see if I’m a good fit for you and your furry friend! ✨ I’m currently between jobs, so I have full availability and plenty of time to focus on your pet’s needs. I’m flexible and able to provide care, playtime, and walks whenever needed! Just let me know what you’re looking for, and I’ll be there! I have a fenced in back yard and a big playful dog ready for friends! I also have the space to keep any dogs separated if needed. If it’s care provided in your home I will respect your space and make sure your animal has all its needs taken care of.

“Katherine is fantastic! I reached out to her last minute hoping she could walk my corgi and Aussie the following day while I was at work. She was able to accommodate both of their walking styles and sent pictures and updates throughout the walk. She has a great personality and is an outstanding communicator. I will most definitely use her again.”

About: *** Available every Saturday & Sunday and during the week early morning or after 3pm *** I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and always loved dogs. I treat mine and my friend’s dog like family and spoil them as much as possible. I do have experience with other people’s dog as I watched friends and family dogs when they go out of town. I have experience with high energy dogs as I have one myself so I can give as much exercise as needed. I work during the week 7a-3p. Available most weekends. I can come early morning or later in the night to work around your schedule. I live at home with 2 dogs. They are both very friendly love to play. We have a decent size backyard that is big enough to run around.

“Ana sent so many pictures and a video of my sweet baby playing. She took great care of him while I was away! Definitely will use her again in the future”

“Laurel and her husband, Ian, are AMAZING! Our huge puppy, Elby, will not walk with just anyone. We tried someone out before Laurel and Ian and he would just bark at them and never let them put the leash on him. Laurel and Ian were extremely patient and loving with Elby. Only two weeks in and he already runs to the door when they come. They write sweet detailed updates so that I know that Elby is happy and safe while we are at work. We are doing long term- daily walks with them and would recommend them to everyone!”

“Wonderful experience! My dog was well cared for, happy, and clearly enjoyed the walks. Communication was great and I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my pet. Definitely plan to continue her service. Highly recommend!”

“Destiny is amazing! Prompt with replies, punctual, flexible! She has been a lifesaver and carpet saver for my dog a few times now, always on relatively short notice! And I know my dog loves hanging out with Destiny.”

About: I’ve dog/cat sat since I was a kid, love all animals! Great with pet meds & pets with separation anxiety. Great with communication to owner and problem solving. I’m currently a student at UNT so the days I’m completely free would be Friday through Monday & also on Wednesdays, I am busy from 10am-7pm on Tuesdays/Thursdays. For summer, after May 20th I will be available everyday of the week! I have one cat who is 3 and fully vaccinated. I live with my parents who are fully vaccinated & boosted, me as well! My cat has her own room, filled with toys to keep her entertained! I love making sure she is spoiled & happy as much as I can. I would love to do the same for your babies while your busy!

About: I've had personal dogs for the last 10 years. I also volunteer at the animal shelter by walking dogs, playing with them in the play yard, providing enrichment, building confidence and giving lots of love and pets . I also started to foster from the shelter a year and a half ago and find it extremely rewarding. I am available all day on weekends and weekdays after 5pm to help with walks or drop ins. I work on a school schedule and am also available on holidays. Your dog(s) will get lots of pets and love with me. I am patient and will take my time if your fur baby needs a little time to open up. I will provide a loving environment for all your animals! My experience with my own dogs as well as fosters and at the animal shelter has helped me understand what animals need and want.

About: I’ve professionally been taking care of animals for 5 years now, but have been taking care of own fur babies my whole life. I am experienced with all sizes, ages and medically needs. Including be not limited to, insulin injections, seizure protocols, day to day medications, etc… I also am getting certified through the Karen Pryor Academy for training puppies. I’m am currently open full time, planning to go back to school in the fall. I taken care of my own fur babies throughout the day with walks and mental stimulating puzzles. Even my cats but I don’t think they are fans. Care and safety of your pet is of utmost importance to me, but also making sure your pet is comfortable with me. With dog walking, starting it out nice and slow with a lot of treats to build their trust. With house sitting, trying to keep their routine as close to their normal I can with lots of love and treats.

“Was very helpful accepting my request last minute. Came here for a meet and greet and was very curious about any potential trial issues my dog may have while out on walks. Was very good at communicating when she was coming and when she arrived and even saved me when I accidentally overlooked that she was booked for ongoing walks and a payment was submitted that should not have gone through. Highly recommended from this customer. Hard to find someone willing to take on the challenges of walking a large breed Cane Corso like mine.”

About: I have 7 years of pet sitting and dog walking experience, primarily caring for the pets of family and friends. Growing up around dogs and cats of all sizes has made me very comfortable and confident with animals of different personalities and energy levels. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I always make it a priority to stick closely to their feeding, walking, medication, and sleep schedules to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals and giving them the care and affection they deserve. I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time during the mornings and throughout the day. This allows me to easily fit pet walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and check-ins into my routine without feeling rushed. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so making time for your pets is something I genuinely look forward to. Typically I like to keep my drop-in visits anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour! Whether your pet needs a consistent daily schedule or extra attention during the day, I’m able to provide dependable and attentive care. For drop-in visits and dog walks, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. During drop-ins, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get bathroom breaks, playtime, attention, and any other care instructions requested by the owner. I also spend quality time with them so they feel less stressed and more comfortable while their owner is away. For dog walks, I make sure each walk matches the dog’s energy level and needs, whether that means a slow relaxed walk or a more active one. I always prioritize safety by staying attentive to surroundings, keeping pets secure on walks, and making sure they return home happy and comfortable. I’m very patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy building trust with animals and their owners. If I have any questions or doubts I will always communicate clearly with you!

“Emily was great with both of our doggies! She showed up on time and communicated with us on any dog updates and sent great photos. She even did a meet and greet a week prior to the multiple day dog walks we booked her for. Thank you!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, from helping my parents dog sit all breeds and growing up to raising my own cats and dogs. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal care and individual needs. I’m reliable, organized, and intentional with my time. I genuinely care for your pets and will make sure you feel that way too! I’m home for the summer, so I will be available to care for your pets all the time! I plan on going beyond the feeding time and the potty time to ensure your pet feels safe and loved. I love to spend time with animals making them feel loved, and making sure they are safe. Let me know what your pets love to do and I will make sure to do that!
