Dog Walkers in South Gull Lake, MI

About: I have been around many different kinds of animals growing up. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and other small rodents and reptiles. I’m currently working another job full time in the afternoons but I am happy and eager to accept any visits from the early morning until 12:30pm. Overnight visits are also available if I am able to have at least a weeks notice, thank you! As your pet sitter it’s my goal to make sure your pets as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I would love to know their routines and personalities so I can care for them as best as possible!

“Hunter was great with Dot. Very patient and loving. With no fault of his… the snow storm prevented him from doing his walk visit on the 5th. However, We will have and look forward to using Hunter again. Very happy with his communication and commitment.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. I used to watch my friends and neighbors dogs when they would go out of town, making sure they get out to use the bathroom and get exercise as well as feed them and take them out for walks. I can administer basic first aid if it’s needed, and am comfortable with giving medicine if they require it. I currently do free lance work from my home, working on my own time as I wish to. I can do morning to to early evening pet care bookings ( 9AM - 5PM) during week days( M - Fr) with availability most the time on weekends unless stated otherwise. Accommodations can be made if they are discussed before bookings are made. I can crate dogs if necessary for any reason, and can take them out to play as well. I have a relatively large house where my pets are free to walk around without worry, none of the pets are stressed and are always relaxing in various areas of the house. Former dogs I have watched and cared for have always enjoyed my company, and never have issue with me.

“Jess was great! Always communicated with me and gave good notes so I was aware of everything that happened during the visit. I knew my baby was in good hands. I would recommend to anyone and love to book her again!”

About: My family and I have just moved to the Kalamazoo area from Tampa, FL, where I worked as a full-time veterinary assistant for several years. Additionally, I have accumulated hundreds of hours volunteering at animal shelters. Between these two, I have developed skills that allow me to be comfortable caring for all kinds of animals, and allow me to help those with specific needs, such as medication/fluid administration, first-aid, aggression/anxiousness, puppy/senior care, etc. Feel free to reach out with any questions! :) I am currently working part-time as a vet assistant. I have wide-open availability Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, and I'm available Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays after 5pm. Long walks, extra love, and positive "good boys/girls" all around. It's important to me to be patient and understanding with any animal, and really listen to what it is that they need. I have no issue interacting with animals who may be reactive, anxious, aggressive, or all of the above.

About: Ive been caring and raising animals for the majority of my life. I currently have a cat named Avery, who I adopted from a cat shelter. Prior to this I had a dog who now lives with my mother and both are extremely happy. I look forward to hearing from you, and meeting your pets. Iam currently unemployed and would be available to pet sit any time day or night. I will only ask for 3 days in advance notice of any cancellation The majority of my yard is fenced in, I will always be there to keep an eye on your pets when outside. I also drive and have no problems taking your pets to the nearest dog park. If they're well behaved with other dogs

About: I have grown up around working dogs helping my mom with care and training. I am comfortable with all dogs big and small, young and old. I have raised dogs from puppies to seniors and can administer medications, I even have experience with catheters if needed. I can assist with agility and obedience training for enrichment and set up activities to keep your pup stimulated. I have two years of experience volunteering at the Kalamazoo Nature Center in animal care so I can even provide care to snakes, salamanders, toads, turtles, raccoons, squirrels, and birds. I work at a horse farm in hickory corners from 8 am till 12pm Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Any time outside of that I’m most likely free. I have started charging a ¢.30/mile rate when daily mileage round trip exceeds 40 miles. I follow the owners routine and requests to a t to ensure their fur babies are as comfortable as possible while their parents are away.

“Gabrielle was wonderful and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their dogs! She was even willing to go out of her way to come over on her lunch break one of the days to let my dogs go potty! I will definitely be booking with her in the future.”

About: I’ve had dogs all around me growing up and wouldn’t have it any different! I’ve have 2 dogs most of my life and all of my extended family also has dogs so all holidays and family gathering include many many puppies! My sister is also in veterinary services and she used to do rover during the summer and I would love to help all the time so I figured I’d try it out for myself! I’m currently an MSU sophomore who is home for the summer and looking for a full time job to keep me occupied. I love animals and fur balls of joy so I figured this would be purrrfect!! I live on Gull Lake so my yard is not fenced in but my dog has an invisible collar and I am a profesional with a leash and wouldn’t mind observing a dog during outside play time! My parents recently got a dog who just turned 1 and loves to play and is very good with all dogs. He can also settle down around older dogs who aren’t big on playing! I also have a cat who rules our house but she steers clear of the dogs for the most part and just lounges about! I am happy to crate your animal, watch them in my home, or stay at your house to accommodate your animals needs!

About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, fish, chickens, and ducks. I have taken a veterinary science class in high school and I plan to become a veterinarian in the future. Currently, I do not have a job, so I am able to play with your pets all day on the days I’m available. I will be heading off to college at the end of August this year, but will be back during breaks. I will care for your pets kindly, but firmly if need be. If you have a high energy pup, I will do my very best to keep up the energy to play with it. I will make sure your pet does not get into trouble.

“Huckleberry loves a good walk and Kimberley made sure he got his steps in. She is fantastic and I’d definitely book her again.”

Why I love dog sitting I have liked dogs since I can remember. I grew up with dogs mostly shepherds. Since my husband and I got married 30 years ago, we have not been without a dog. Our dogs have been rescue dogs. I also fostered a dog that someone got at a shelter and was going to take back. I said I would take the dog and find a home for it. My daughter ended up taking the dog. About my yard We have 1.5 acres with access to 4 more acres. Our yard is not fenced but we do not let our dog out without one of us with her.

My husband is my back-up if I am going to be gone. I do not have a fenced yard and all dogs are taken outside on a leash. I do have a tie-out to use if I am outside. I do not leave dogs on the tie-out when I am not outside.
