Dog Walkers in Saugatuck, MI

“The dogs loved Kristie and came back from their walks/romps tired and smiling. After their first walk with her they were eager to get into her car again the next day.”

“Mike was a terrific walker for my brother’s headstrong 8.5yo Kate while brother was recovering from knee surgery. He bonded well with the dog, handled and disciplined her appropriately and was easy for us to work with. Highly recommended!”

About: I have grown up with animals all of my life. With busy working parents, I was often the one doing most of the animal care. I grew up with 2 large German Shepherds and 2 cats, so I am familiar with handling large breeds and taking care of multiple animals at once. I am a huge animal lover and have always been a natural pet caregiver. The well-being of animals is my top priority. I am currently working full-time; however, I work from home once a week and can be flexible on which day that is. I am also completely available on the weekends. The beautiful Detroit River Walk is right by my apartment, where I would take lovely long walks with pets. Additionally, my favorite pastime is cuddling with furry friends on the couch!

About: My first job at 12 was dog walking/sitting but I have been a lifelong animal lover! I grew up with dogs and adopted my cat about 8 years ago. I have cared for both young and elderly dogs/cats as well as those with special needs and medical conditions. I am currently a stay at home mom with my five year old son. My availability is very open especially going into the summer months. Although I may not be able to do overnight stays at this time, I can do later evenings and earlier mornings. I do have a fenced in backyard that I can accommodate your pup with! I also have a dog in my home who is very friendly and would love play if you allow it. If not I will keep them separate. I can take your dog out to a local trail or walk them in your neighborhood. With cats I would be vigilant in keeping them away from open doors unless allowed. I know they love to explore small spaces and I take extra precautions to keep my girl safe! I love getting to know all the unique personalities of different cats, I love a good cuddle as well as some fun playtime. I have a special place in my heart for senior kitties.

About: As much as we want to bring our pets everywhere with us sometimes, we can’t. But that shouldn’t mean your pet isn’t living their best life possible. I can check in on your pet for some company, pets and play time, treats, meals, water, and a walk. I can also do anything else they may need. My goal is to give your pet a better day and give you a peace of mind knowing your pet is happy. I grew up on a farm with all animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, and horses. I was in a dog club growing up and learned basic dog training skills. Over the years I’ve cared for puppies and senior dogs needing special assistance and medications. I’ve helped care for multiple animals and hope to have the opportunity to care for yours too. I’m working part time in (human) healthcare. As much as I love people, I want to spend more time with animals on my days off. I work every Monday and Wednesday and am busy Saturday most of the time. My schedule changes once in a while but this is the general availability. I am mostly available morning and afternoon until about 3pm. Please ask for any specific times though anytime and I’ll see if it ends up working out. Thanks! 😊 My goal is to make sure your dog is as well cared for as if you were there yourself. I can do what you request. I can feed, water, potty break, medication administration, play time and pets, or go for a walk. I can leave them out or crate when I leave.

About: I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood and enjoy a peaceful home environment. I work, stay active in my church, and love winding down with a good book or movie. I’m down-to-earth and will treat your dog like family. My daughter, who’s now abroad, used to dog sit and encouraged me to try it myself—knowing how much I love dogs, even though I’m not ready to have one full-time. I often helped her with dog sitting before she left, and truly enjoyed the companionship. It would be a blessing to care for your pet and offer you peace of mind. I’m flexible, reliable, and would have a great time making sure your dog feels safe and loved. I work hybrid, which means your pet will have plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I love taking regular breaks to go on walks, give belly rubs, or just relax with a furry friend nearby. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate feeding routines, bathroom breaks, and any special care your pet may need. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your dog to relax comfortably. While I don’t have a backyard, I take regular walks in safe, green areas nearby and always supervise outdoor time. I follow your care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and routines, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos. Whether in my home or yours, I provide calm, attentive care to help your pet feel secure and loved.

“Lydia is a very responsible and reliable pet sitter, walker! My pup just loves her and I sure do appreciate her and will always request her first!!”

About: I currently work from home and am approaching retirement age. I am seeking part-time opportunities while actively building a client base to support my transition into retirement. I love walking and with my dogs getting to senior age I have to limit them to short walks. Looking to walk more and why not with your pet at my side I work from home and am approaching retirement age. I am seeking part time opportunities while actively building a client base to support my transition into retirement I have a fenced in yard with 2 small dogs and a cat. They love walks and getting spoiled and would love your fur baby to be included.

“I was out of town for a week and Sarah really went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were taken care of! She took them on daily walks and spent time with them at the dog park, and kept me well informed on how they were doing. I would definitely recommend Sarah to watch your fur babies!”

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life and have fallen in love with dog sitting throughout my four years in college. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. I am responsible, dependable, and understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routines and provide attentive care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or administering basic care, I always treat every pet like my own! I just graduated from Hope College and have the summer off before heading to grad school in August, so I have open availability to care for your pets! I am a responsible, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitter who always prioritizes safety and comfort. I respect clients’ homes by keeping spaces clean, communicating clearly, and I will always leave your home cleaner than when I arrived.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a young girl, about 20 years now! I’m honored to meet new animals and gain their trust, showing them love, kindness, and fun! Animals really are so important to me, I’m a devout vegetarian and animal-advocate, with hopes to open a no-kill rescue in the future for all types of animals. I am a graduate student who works part time from home. My weekly routine is flexible and ready to fit your needs! Whatever works for you! I’ll care for your pet like my own. I go on long walks, know how to train dogs, and can take care of special needs.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I also started working as a dog walker/ “adopter” when I was 9 years old. A local dog store teamed with the harbor humane society to help get dogs adopted in saugatuck over the weekends. And I was the one to care for them and try to find them a home! We placed over 200 dogs and kept them until they found a home! I myself have a dog, 5 chickens and a cat. All of whom I love dearly! Unfortunately my dog doesn’t play well with others so I need to get my new pet fix outside of my home. I currently work full time so it would be difficult for me to tend to my own pets and others during the week days. But weekends are wide open! I wake up (my dog wakes me up) around 6 most days, feed and let everyone out and depending on the weather typically stay outside with them all day. Morning and evening feedings and potty breaks every hour or so is standard when I’m home and can’t be outside. I have a lot of experience with all sorts of animal behavior so I can easily handle it all! Whether it’s walking a dog that pulls or reacts to squirrels, I have no concerns. I also have personal experience with aggressive pets and pets that don’t stay in the yard. I know from personal experience the importance to follow directions provided by a pet owner.

About: Glacier may not be dog friendly, but I sure am! Though I’m not new to caring for animals, I do need to build up a client base. That’s why my price is so cheap! I have grown up with animals of all kinds my entire life and take pride in the care and compassion I give to animals. I am detail-oriented and knowledgeable about pet body language. I have a flexible work schedule. Let me know what time works best for you and I would love to fit you into my schedule! Existing amongst animals is one of the things that brings me the greatest joy in life. I believe every animal deserves to be happy, safe, and free and lend a lot of time working towards animal liberation.

“Great job, showed up at time for walk and sent update of walk with pictures. Thanks Taylor!”

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs my entire life, with hands-on experience supporting pets through all life stages and needs. Whether your pet requires medication management, specialized diet adherence, mobility assistance, or extra patience due to age or disability, I approach each animal as an individual deserving attentive, compassionate care. I don’t just follow instructions, I notice subtle changes in behavior, anticipate needs, and communicate proactively with owners so you have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently working part time as a painter, part time with Rover, and volunteering for Harbor Humane, but worry not. I can make my schedule completely open for any pet care needs. I will rarely be unavailable. I prioritize your pet’s routine and comfort above all. Whether that means leash walks through your neighborhood, supervised backyard play in their familiar space, or respecting crating schedules you’ve established, I adapt to what works for your pet, not what’s easiest for me. I ensure fresh water is always available, meals are served on time, and any special instructions (door security, alarm codes, plant watering) are followed exactly. Beyond the basics, I make time for real connection like belly rubs, play sessions, or just calm companionship for anxious pets. You’ll come home to a pet who felt cared for, not just looked after.
