Dog Walking in South Side, Kalamazoo, MI

“Great walk! Erin was on time and took great care of both dogs while I was out of town for the day. I appreciated the pictures and map of their dog walk route! Thanks, Erin!!”

“An absolute wonderful person to watch after your pet! She was so loving toward Charlie and he had an absolutely blast with her while I was out of town. Big thanks to Theresa!”

“Very sweet with my pup”

“Christi has had a life long live of dogs. She has one of her own and enjoys helping friends and family with caring for their dogs when needed. Christi takes the time to walk, pet and cuddle dogs whatever is needed.”

“In Switzerland, Daniel was volunteering at the official Zurich kennel. We have a bichon frisé, a rescue dog with parvo virus. He gets seizures when we miss his medication. Daniel takes him for daily walks. Until recently, we had a Shi-Zu, another rescue dog, named Binx. He was older., Daniel loved Binx. Unfortunately Binx had heart problems. Binx needed a lot of medications, and the vet had to put him down. Daniel was very upset about Binx. Daniel has a long history with dogs. He loves dogs.”

“Awesome! Very friendly and reliable! Would not hesitate to use her every time to walk our dog!!”

About: I completed the Dog Walking Academy in November 2018, provided by TipTopTails Training in Kalamazoo. Also completed Pet Tech CPR, First Aid and Care in November 2018. Having recently retired from WMU, I am looking forward to spending time with your dog(s) or cat(s) and earning some extra income. I have been a dog owner all of my life, my husband and I currently have one American Staffordshire Terrier rescue named Mazzie who is three years old. I am available to come to your home to visit with and care for your pets, I am not able to house your animals at my home during the day or overnight. Eventually, these services may also be available. I have experience with dogs who need daily medications (insulin, seizure meds) or those with chronic issues. I am available to care for your pet(s) in your home while you are away for the day or on vacation. I am retired from WMU and have fairly open days and evenings. I am not able to do overnights at this time. I have had many dogs and right now we have adopted a new rescue dog, a Staffordshire terrier who is about 3 years old. For that reason, I do not bring your animals to my home, I come to you.

“McKenzie has a true heart for animals. I think she’d have them all live with her if she could. Our dog is a bit aggressive and she handles him just fine. She just pours out so much love on animals. Your pets will be in great hands if she takes care of them for you. She is respectful and trustworthy.”

“Jess stands out as the biggest, most compassionate animal lover I've ever known. She has a heart for all living creatures and treats them with kindness and respect. She did a wonderful job with our pups! They had a great time with Jess!”

“Paige is amazing and super caring with pets! She takes care of them and loves them like her own. She will know how to do everything that is needed, feeding, training, administering medicine. Also, all the loving in the world will be given!”

“Grace was willing to come a long way for a trial walk and then realized it was too far. She was friendly and able to handle my larger dog and nervous smaller dog.”

About: I've had different kinds of pets since I was 8. I have taken care of rabbits, cats, dogs, fish, and turtles. I always have a thing when it comes to animals, I really enjoy their presence. I'm very playful with animals and I always make sure that the animals I take care of are comfortable and happy being around me. I am currently a full time student. If you need me on weekdays please let me know because I have different schedules each day. Notes: I am pretty much available for the summer! My apartment is pet friendly. There's a big field next to my apartment. There is a lot of puppies in my neighborhood so your dog won't ever get lonely. There's also dog waste bags everywhere near my apartment, so your dog can potty anywhere. For cats, I have cat toys in my apartment because I have 2 cats but they currently live at my parents house, for potty I might have to buy the sand or if you could provide one that would be awesome!

“Jackie has cared for my dog several times as i travel a lot for work. She handles my pup with great care and even sends me pupdates of their activities! I can tell my little pup is happy with her.”

“Barb is amazing!!! Every time she gets home, Lola gets super excited because she knows is time for her walk! Barb is sweet and very kind with my baby!! 100% recommended!!”

About: I have been dog-sitting for five years now. I would say I’m a very patient person as I teach dance to young children. I am very hardworking and trustworthy person. I’m currently finishing a degree in dance and marketing! Following my college graduation, I will be available during the day until I go to teach dance. My schedule varies each day and sometimes varies week to week, but I always have my morning available. I am definitely a morning person! I keep my home and my own spaces very clean and organized. I really don’t like clutter which makes for safer environments for your animals.

“Erin is a wonderful pet owner and dog sitter! She has had dogs all her life, and now has one of her own. She adopted him from an animal shelter in Illinois and he was a bit naughty at first. His stubborn and smart terrier tendencies coupled with his medicore training was not the ideal mix. He began his journey with her as a very energetic and a bit aggressive pup. Her first interaction with him he actually had one of his 'episodes' where he gets aggressive when he can't get his way. Nowadays you never would've known he even had the capability to do that; he rarely every lashes out and he knows many tricks-he even knows how to dance! He almost always comes when he is called and listens to what he is told 9 out of 10 times. He is also one of the most spoiled dogs I have ever met and hates being away from her-he even has a doggy life jacket to go on kayak trips with her. I would reccommend Erin as a dogsitter to anyone! ”

“Maggie is the best!! Our dogs were staying with my elderly parents while we were out of town and needed to be walked everyday. Maggie came to our rescue and walked them daily and gave them VIP treatment! Maggie is a dependable, professional loving care giver and we would definitely call her again to care for our dogs!!”

“Jordan was wonderful with Emma (Labradoodle)! Emma needed short walks 2x/day and lots of cuddles and reassurance during overnights! Emma LOVED spending time with Jordan - and was so excited to see jordan every time she came to visit! Jordan asked questions to assure Emma had what she needed and kept me informed about how Emma was doing with pics and daily updates!”

“They are a very loving pet owner. Their dogs are looked after well, consistently get to play with other dogs and go on adventures inside and outside of their home. I would definitely recommend them to watch your dogs.”

“Heidi loves all animals. She takes her dogs on walks and to the dog park often. She has had many different types of pets that have lived long lives.”
