Dog Walkers in Sanford, MI

“Did a great job walking our dog! Destin loved her.”

“Good communication and reliable. Madison has been taking excellent care of my doggo 🙂”

About: I have had animals my whole life. Farm girl. Currently have a bird, rabbits, fish, horses, dogs, and cats and reptiles. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. My availability has gone up greatly. I’m currently only doing pet sitting when I normally work another job as well so I have full availability. I prefer to do drop ins or walks but it all depends. I will give your pet the same love and care as I give my own. I will update you with daily pictures.

“Shannon's love for animals is unconditional, she loves them as if they are her children. If you want your pet to be loved and cared for and have the peace of mind knowing your pet will be in good hands while you're gone, then Shannon is the sitter you want! She treats animals with respect and gives them more attention than her husband!”

“I have been Brendans partner for over a year now and have been Sammie’s dog mom ever since meeting them, as he adopted her just a month before meeting me. She was a rescue, and a very timid and emotional girl, but I have watched her come out of her shell and build confidence under the guidance of his leadership and love to her…it’s truly heartwarming to have witnessed this sweet girl who is nervous of anything find joy and playfulness again (or maybe for the first time) because of the safety she now feels from her leader.”

“Maddy grew up loving animals and being outdoors. She had her fair share of rabbits, parrots, turtles, hamsters, fish, frogs, and more. However, because of others in the family with allergies, she didn't have the chance to have dogs and cats. She is fascinated by all types of animals, and researches each extensively for providing the best living environment. Now that she is an adult, she has dogs and cats at home, which are all thriving. She is very responsible, and her animals respond well to her. I would strongly recommend Maddy to care for your pets.”

About: My former home has been a make-shift cat refuge for 15 years: my love of those independent characters has been sated by 3 of the greatest felines known to man. I love all animals, just haven't had the opportunity to have a dog in our family. My current domicile does not permit nonhuman animals, so I'm on a mission to pass on my affection for all animals and create a new job at same time. I cannot think of a better way to spend my free time. I'm a stay at home mom with a 16 year old who is way too independent. I'm looking at this new found free time as less melancholy- inducing but rather a new opportunity. Lemons/lemonade situation. I have availability to drop in if local, or house/pet sit. I can make a house sparkle, pets exercised ( cats are a little reluctant:), and fed/watered on regular basis. I run/cycle/walk, so easy peasy. I am moving to Midland 4/15/24, so should be ready to take on new pets by May. I will also be volunteering; I can juggle both easily and look forward to meeting new furry friends. I am unable to board animals currently. I can however, stay at your hone with your pets. Beginning in May 2024. Look forward to Midland!

“Daniel is a great caregiver for pets! He has a Bernese Mountain Dog he is raising and training. He knows how to have fun with larger dogs such as his own, but he also knows how to be gentle with smaller breeds like the Maltese/Shihtzu mix he will occasionally care for. He puts in the time to make sure his pets get what they need, whether it be a particular way of feeding or just giving a long walk. Daniel would be a great choice for your pet’s needs!”

“Sydney was on time and Patch warmed to her immediately, I am not sure if Sydney enjoyed the walk. She seemed unsure of herself. But honestly it could just be me, I am not sure in what to expect.”

About: I love all kinds of dogs! I have a maltese shihtzu mix that I have been taking care of for 9 plus years. I love the outdoors! I am used to taking dogs outside to use the restroom, and I also have experience with pad trained dogs and dogs who are still being house broken. The only dogs I cannot watch are rottweilers, and dobermans. Unfortunately, on average the risks are higher with these breeds. I am a teacher. Since I do not teach during summer vacation, I am highly available during the summer, morning to night. During the school year (Sept-May) I am available to walk your dog and house sit early in the morning before school (5-7 am), after school is let out (4:30 pm-late), or all day/night on weekends. I love to give lots of snuggles to keep your furry friend happy and feeling loved! I am a big advocate for routine and a pet’s emotional/mental stability, so you can rely on me to be timely whether that means house-sitting, feeding, or going on walks with your dogs.

About: I’ve been a Vet Tech for well over 20yrs. Animals are my life and I treat all animals as if they were my own pet. At the moment I’ve stepped away from working in clinics, so all my free time will be focused on my clients and their pets needs. I have a wealth of experience and knowledge when it comes to dogs and cats and I will care for your babies as I care for my own.

“Christine has babysat our dogs and cat many times and they absolutely loved her! She made sure to take them outside often, give them some treats, and of course lots of cuddles while we were away. We were so thankful for the care she put into our pets.”

“Faith has dropped in on my cats several times while I've been out of town and she is so great to work with. She is dependable and kind and always sends me pictures of my cats which I appreciate. I would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I have been trained by professionals throughout my time as kennel staff where I had hands on training with many types of dogs, big and small. I was responsible for feeding, walking and taking the best care of over 28 dogs at one time while on kennel staff. I work part-time so I will have plenty of time dedicated to taking the best care of the clients pet! I am flexible with my schedule and I can make anytime work! Keeping your pet safe is my top priority! I make sure that if my client has a fence, that it is closed. If my client does not have a fence, I will make sure that their pet gets time outside to go potty while on a leash.

“Austin has dog-sat for our family multiple times! We have 2 cats, 2 Irish wolfhounds, 1 one-year-old bernedoodle, and a lizard. He has done an amazing job on several different weekends when we were out of town for the kids' sporting events. Our animals can be a handful, but with Austin's performance with ours, I am confident he will do great with any of your pets too. Our house is always clean when we return and the animals have all been fed, played with, and cared for to our liking, he even gave our bernedoodle, Sunny, a bath once! I always miss the dogs so when we are gone I ask him to send me pictures about once an hour of them, and he does!”

“Amanda is so friendly and amazing with my little guy! Will definitely rebook :)”

“Morgan has been a reliable dog sitter for me for the last five years. I work long hours and she’s always able to make sure my dogs are cared for while I’m working. Includes feeding them, letting them outside or taking them for a walk.”

About: I’ve been a dog person since I could walk and I use to look after my parent animal which extend more than just dogs. I’ve looked after Horses, cats, bird and of course dogs when my parent went away for holiday and even tho it’s a lot of work. I enjoy every bit of it. I’m always available after 4pm and on off day from my full time work, I’m available anytime. I know that it’s always worrying to leave your pride and joy with a stranger but I always respect other people pets. If you have any question. Please feel free to contact me whenever. I work from home full time but available mostly after 4pm and some weekend but can go out during the day between 1pm & 2pm if needed. I live in the corner of two roads but my dog and I are so close that I normally let him run and play fetch. But I always make sure I keep an eye on him and keep him safe. My dog is crate trained when ever I leave the house to run errands. The safety of my pets and future client pets is my top priority.

About: I have taken care and owned dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. I have always loved animals and have experience with all sizes and ages. Friends and neighbors have relied on me to watch, feed and check on their pets while they are away. I always make sure their pets are safe, happy and getting everything they need! I have had senior dogs and more recently puppies as well, so I have trained and worked with all ages. I am a mom of 3 and I currently have 4 pets, so I am used to caring for others. I started my own photography business in Midland, so I get to make my schedule and hours from home. A flexible schedule allows me to be open for drop-in visits. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have a safe environment for your pet when you are away from the home. Pets are family and I want to help keep them safe, happy and cared for while you are away. If you have any special needs or a pet needs extra attention, let me know so I can give them the care they need!

About: Dogs have surrounded me since I was 5! I grew up around toy poodle mixes, so I’m used to playing with little bundles of energy and currently, I have one Goldendoodle and one Labradoodle that I love like children. My favorite doggo activities are playing fetch, kayaking, and walking in a park. Giving belly rubs are a must, but I'm best known for my ear scratches. I have experience with dogs needing medication, post-surgery care, or stitch care. I've taken care of ear infections and maintained overall grooming as well. Making dogs comfortable is my first priority followed by fulfilling any needs and keeping the smiles going. Feel free to contact me anytime with any questions/inquiries more specific to your pet! My schedule is very flexible and I'm looking to take advantage of the fresh air with your little/big one! I work part-time from home and part-time from an office so I can take breaks for walking/home visits throughout the day when planned. I'm generally available from 6am-9pm. I prefer a routine, however, I'm always understanding and happy to receive messages of spontaneous trips + random needs for my services! Because I go to you, I will let you explain what makes your dog most comfortable for walking/visits. I always have a leash + poop bags on hand, and let the pups get in all their sniffs for a proper walk! I also have confidence in gaining control of a situation if a dog ran off or was trained off-leash since I too have my dogs trained off-leash. I call for their attention by whistling most often.
