Dog Walking Shaftsburg

“Jennifer is a great person who cares for your dog just like they were her own dogs. She asked lots of questions to make sure all of our dogs need were met. We have a pretty hyper dog that needs a lot of time for long walks and Jennifer had no problems taking her for her needed long walks. She also gave lots of doggie snuggles and sent us pictures of our girl while they were out and about. Jennifer is very kind and loving toward our girl and we will most definitely use her any time we are away from home.”

“Beanie loves Emily 😭😭 she is amazing! Very reliable even with the crazy Michigan weather and the evening hours that are scheduled. Walks beanie as much as he can handle (which I love that she listens to what he needs!!), then will pet him for the rest of the time which he LOVES. He’s always very tired out after Emily comes.”

About: I have been taken care of dogs and cats for almost as long as I can remember. I have been a reliable person for friends and family when they need someone to watch their pets. I have the availability to stay at the house or just do daily drop ins. I am currently coaching in Howell. Practice is mornings 7-9 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. Games are on Wednesday in the evening and Saturday afternoon. I volunteer with a Soccer club in Lansing on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings. I occasionally help my sister with her kids and a family friend clean her house, but I am able to work around those. I have the availability to keep your fur babies company overnight, for the day, or whatever is needed. I am open and know my schedule ahead of time.

“Allison was wonderful!! Reliable, helpful with the app, and interacted with my dogs (they loved her!). Sent some of the best pictures ever taken of my dogs. Much thanks Alli!”

About: In 2019, I started my journey foster raising puppies for PAWS with a Cause, an organization that custom trains service dogs. I raised 4 PAWS dogs, keeping them from 8 weeks to a year old. My first 2 actually became certified service dogs! In between fostering, I also raised 3 keeper puppies of my own. I have a female 5 year old lab, a female 2 year old golden, and a 1 year old male chocolate lab. Safe to say I'm addicted. I work remotely which gives me the flexibility to take my dogs out as they need. I go into the office on Tuesdays for a full day, however, I am able to take a long lunch if needed to take dogs out. I have a fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs at home. I have crate-trained dogs. I have taken my own babies to countless dog training classes, picking up a lot of knowledge of dog behavior.

About: Hi there! My name is Taniya and I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for the past 4 years for families in my neighborhood. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine I absolutely love dogs! I have a sweet pup of my own named Pepper. She’s a 2 year old toy poodle and Yorkie mix with a big personality in a small body! While she stays at home with my mom, I bring all that love and experience with me when I care for other fur babies. I treat every dog like they’re my own safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, a walk, or just some cuddle time, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I currently work at Michigan State University, but my schedule is flexible, and I’m available Monday through Sunday for walks, drop-ins, and cuddles! If you’re located near MSU’s campus, you’re in luck there are so many beautiful trails and green spaces I can take your dog to for fun, safe, and enriching walks. I’m all about making sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, some fresh air, or a long walk to burn off energy, I’m here to help. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and needs to make sure they feel at ease. In my client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely from feeding schedules and walk times to any special care needs. I always make sure pets feel loved, whether that means extra belly rubs, playtime, or simply keeping them company. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, I make sure they have a cozy, safe space to relax. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and offer plenty of attention, walks, and play throughout the day. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like family!

“Isabella was amazing to work with. She was prompt and took of my extremely anxious dog while I was out of town. My pup appreciated the walks!”

About: I've taken care of a variety of pets since I was 9 years old. I have a variety of clients around the 574 area along with down where I go to college. Sitting/boarding, walking, and training is where I have the most experience with pets. I'm often the first call from family and friends when in search of pet care and training. I raised a very medically compromised puppy from birth so I have experience with those caliber of animals. Registered veterinary technician. Work Monday-Thursdays 8a-6p so I’m available Thursday evening-Sunday afternoon for a variety of different services. Can potentially make arrangements for weeknight care if needed but I wouldn’t be available until after 7 pm. I have a fenced in yard with three small dogs of my own. They are all very gentle and laid back and welcoming to other dogs in the household, with one being a puppy who is eager to have a playmate as the other two generally don't play unless out in the yard. I love getting to know the owners as well as their pets and their preferences and quirks to ensure that I can give the best care possible.

About: I’ve managed animals of all ages and I think of them as people!! From a puppy or kitten, to an older animal, they all need help being taken care of just as humans do! I’m diligent in spending quality time, administering medication or giving special attention to your animals needs, and I have fun with them! I’m a college student trying to make some extra money so I’d love to help take care of your animals and homes whenever you need!! I’d love to care for your animals in your home, as I have my own cats. I love to play in the yard, go for walks, or simply snuggle on the couch with your fur babies.

“Alex is friendly, kind, responsive, and responsible. He quickly got back to me about a last minute dog walk, and also handled our overly excited puppy with ease.”

About: I've been caring for / fostering animals for 6+ years. As a medical student, I'm organized, reliable, and calm under pressure, and I'm comfortable giving medications and following detailed care instructions. I'll stick to your pet's routine and send updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I study from home most days, so your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I'll keep them on their usual feeding and walk schedule and make plenty of time for play and attention. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with lots of yard space and nearby walking trails. I keep doors closed and hazards out of reach, use a leash on every walk, and follow your instructions for food, medications, and emergencies.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a small child! I am an animal lover! I am patient and kind to them! I can’t wait to meet your sweet animal! I do not work a job. I do have two teenagers and happily married so sometimes I might be busy, but typically I’m usually available! I have one cat that is inside. He is an orange Tabby and his name is Whiskey! I also have a black golden doodle puppy! He is 6 months old and his name is Chewy! We have 7 1/2 acres that he loves to run around on! ** if I am already at your place to dog sit, there will be an additional charge if you add another dog last minute.**

About: I've had dogs my whole life. I took care of my own precious soul dog for 14 years until she recently passed. I volunteer as a dog walker at the local shelter additionally. Over 15+ years of experience! I am home 24.7 as I work from home. Very flexible schedule as I own my own business. I enjoy long walks and being outside and look forward to taking care of your pet! My home is safe, quiet and clean as I live alone itll be soothint for your fur baby. It'll just be me and your fur baby all day! I will even let your fur baby sleep in my bed. Im fine with pets being on my furniture. I have a lot of blankets as well as dog beds. I also have a patio that we can enjoy the sun on in nice weather. My apartment offers safe side walks and a lot of grass and wooded areas around for lots of fun walking options. My apartment also has a gated dog park that often is empty that I like to bring dogs to so they can run around and be free safely.

About: Dogs have been my biggest hyperfixation since I was 8 years old. I’m diagnosed with autism so you can trust that I won’t just ‘vaguely follow’ your instructions, I stick to them exactly. If you have a specific regimen for your pet, I’m the person who will actually get it right every single time. I do want to preface that I’m completely comfortable with high-energy dogs that need a real workout and contrary to that, senior pets that have a strict medication schedule. You won't get 'fluff' or vague updates from me, i’ll give you clear communication and the peace of mind that comes from someone who takes your pet’s routine as seriously as you do. If you need someone who won't miss a single detail, I’m ready to help ⭑.ᐟ - side note: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Because of that, pet care isn't just something I do, it’s become intuitive at this point. I don't have to guess what a pet needs; I’ve spent my life learning their body language and the specific care required for each and every one of them. I absolutely love making time for furry friends! Right now, my schedule is quite flexible, primarily Mondays-Fridays which means I can truly prioritize your pets routine. Whether they need a mid-day play session to burn off energy or some evening cuddles to wind down, I’m here for it! I’m dedicated to being reliable and consistent so your pet feels totally at ease while you’re away. Safety and comfort are my top priorities! I treat every home I visit with the utmost respect and every cat as if they were my own. I’m very observant of body language and environment to make sure everything is secure. You can expect plenty of cute photo updates and open communication so you can have total peace of mind knowing your baby is in safe, loving hands!

About: I've had and experienced with multiple pets/breeds growing up. I enjoy being surrounded by animals all the time. I've helped with medications, bed rest, a safe and fun environment I'm a photographer as well as a cleaner for an apt community. I'm available mornings, lunch and evenings. I'm always able to make any schedule work I have a dog and cat. I have a crate if needed. I have 3 kids that love helping take care of all the animals. I live in a apt community so there's plenty of space for exercise

“Cody was absolutely wonderful. Monty can be a handful to walk, but Cody had the magic touch. Will definitely use him in the future.”

About: New to Rover but not new to caring for animals. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. I’m a dependable, structured sitter who understands that pets do best when they feel safe, calm, and cared for—just like at home. As a busy mom managing a full household, I naturally bring consistency, patience, and attention to detail into everything I do—including pet care. I’m especially great with dogs who: • prefer routine • have a little anxiety • need calm, steady energy You can expect: ✔ timely communication ✔ daily photo + message updates ✔ a clean, safe, low-stress environment ✔ someone who treats your pet like family—but with structure I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, and I take that seriously. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’m currently working remotely so I’ll have plenty of companionship for your pet. I walk often myself so I’d be happy to exercise with your pet as well. I have a large yard that is unfenced. I’m open to coming to your home as well. I also have two daughters that are dog lovers that can’t wait to play with and love on your pets!
