Dog Walkers in South Boardman, MI

“Kara was amazing when I needed a last minute dog walker. She came everyday on time and communicated when she picked Moose up and dropped him off. She even wrote notes about the walk! I could not have found a better/sweeter friend for Moose that week! Thank you Kara!”

About: Hi my name is Erin! My husband Andy and I live in Fife Lake, Michigan. We live on a 5 acre wooded lot, where our 2 dogs love to play. Andy will be around to help out at home but will not be helping with walking and home visits at this time. We both work full time in Traverse City, Mi. We have 2 super friendly dogs named Huck and Tater. Huck is a very sweet and timid Golden Retriever rescue that joined the family almost 9 years ago. Tater is a super energetic English lab who hunts with Andy. We love to take our dogs hiking, swimming, and camping. We play fetch with them every night after dinner, we even take them mountain biking with us. Both of our dogs are on a grain free diet. We don’t feed them table scraps and they aren’t allowed on the furniture. I absolutely love dogs!!! I’m very responsible and I’d love to help look after your buddies while you’re at work or out of town. I will keep your dogs active and well loved in your absence. You can expect to get lots of fun photos of your pals while they’re in my care! Unfortunately I can’t take aggressive dogs with a history of biting. I work full-time in Traverse City for a very flexible company. So I can walk your pet before work, during lunch or after work. If you're interested in house sitting I could be available during those same times to pop in to check on your pet. If you’re looking for a drop-in visit for your pet, these same time frames would apply. We live on a 5 acre lot that used to be an old Christmas tree farm. We never let our dogs or those we’re watching out unattended. We give the pets we’re watching just as much attention as do our own, which is to say A LOT. Our home really revolves around our best friends Huck and Tater 💗

About: With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats—and 5 years of house and pet sitting through personal networks—I’ve found true joy in this work. Whether I’m walking your dog, stopping by for a drop-in visit, or staying in your home, I provide thoughtful, dependable care that keeps your pets feeling secure and loved. I’m highly reliable and only take on bookings I know I can fully commit to—your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I’m nurturing and respectful, and I love being active and playful with animals when it suits their personality. I treat every pet like a cherished family member and strive to make their routines feel calm, familiar, and happy while you’re away. I’m currently looking unemployed so pet care will be a significant part of my weekly routine. I’m excited about the opportunity to make watching your pet my top priority. I only offer pet care services in the client’s home, because I believe pets feel most secure and comfortable in their own familiar environment. I care for each pet with the same attention and respect I would give my own—whether it’s following a specific routine, administering medication, going for energizing walks, or providing gentle companionship. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs and personality so I can offer care that’s consistent, calm, and tailored. I also only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to, so you can count on me to be reliable, present, and fully focused on your pet’s well-being.

About: I’ve owned and cared for my own pets since I was 10. Taking care of animals is my main passion. I used to work at a dog boarding kennel and was in the FFA at the career tech center for a year in high school, where I raised baby sheep and grew chickens. I am currently studying to be a zoologist where I hope to go into a career of taking care of animals! I own many pets myself, so I care for them daily and once a week I do a deep clean of all their cages, tanks and enclosures. Caring for animals is part of my daily life routine. I am attentive and have always been good at understanding what animals need/ want. I will never leave ur pets side unless they want alone time. I can play for hours with your puppy or just sit and cuddle your cat or dog. I really enjoy being around animals so it’s a treat just to meet new furry friends.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I have not always had a living situation where I was able to have my own pets, and my friends and family relied on me to care for their animals when they went on holiday. I have experience with special needs dogs, and I currently have a senior dog who needs oral medication, eye/ear drops, and other allergy-related care. I have a part-time job as a private tutor for math/science, which happens after school most days.

I am a responsible middle-aged adult, entrusted to care for students in a classroom for the last 25 years. I will treat your home and your pet(s) with the same respect I have given to my school/students, making sure that when you return, your home is clean and in the same condition you left it. I am familiar with how to use security systems, and I will take proper precautions with locking doors, windows, etc.
