Dog Walkers in Springfield, MI

“Anna is great with my aging beagle. Some days my beagle wants to do a lot of walking and sometimes she just wants to sunbath in the grass and Anna is accommodating in either scenario!”

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!

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 am currently attending KCC in Battle Creek and have classes from 8am-1pm Mondays and Wednesdays. My Tuesdays and Thursdays are very open as I only have 1-2 classes those days. Fridays and Saturdays I do morning chores at a horse farm in Hickory Corners but am still available in the afternoon. 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.

About: Hello! My name is Arica. I have been taking care of pets for many years. I love animals, especially dogs. I don’t have any kids and most of my time is spent at home. I do have a job but it is all remote and I can control the days and hours I work. I will treat your fur babies like my own and will make sure your house is looking as good as you left it. If you agree to let me take care of your babies I will do the best in my power to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Message me if you have any questions. Thank you 😊 I work for a company that is remote. I have full control of the scheduling and when I work. So there would be no problem fitting it in to my routine! I make sure to treat them like family. I take care of the home as well. I would follow all of owners guidelines for walks, crating, and administering medication. Always making sure your pup is safe, having a tight hold onto leashes when walking!

“Olivia was dependable and understood the training practices we are using with our dog. She is experienced and very capable of handling our dog. She is a very pleasant person. I will reach out to her again if I need a dog walker.”

“Could not recommend Chrissy enough!! She did such a good job walking my dog Howie the past week and a half. She sent detailed updates and pictures. Howie would pave by the door when he knew Chrissy was coming… 11/10!!!!”

About: Hi there! I’m Gracyn and I’ve been a proud pet parent for over 10 years. I have spent a good chunk of my life training and taking care of my lovable fur-babies. I am a part time student with lots of extra time! I couldn’t imagine a better use of my free time than getting to meet all new types of dogs and cats! With this free time, comes undivided attention to your furry friend. I am able to be there for your pet at any hour of day or night, and will be treated just like my own. I’m able to fit my schedule around a special need a pet might have, as well as experience in taking care of a pet who needs special attention. In addition to my free time, I can have flexible hours when it comes to dog walking. I have spent years walking my own spunky Siberian Husky, and have experience with every type of collar. Walking a hyper Siberian Husky is no easy task, it has taught me patience and positive reinforcement. I look forward to brightening up my day with meeting all new pups!!

About: I care with love, patience, and presence. I’m experienced with both playful pups and senior pets, and I treat every animal like family. Reliable, calm, and faith-rooted. Your pet is safe with me. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my week when I’m not waitressing, serving in student ministry, or at church. I have a flexible schedule and love spending my free time caring for animals with presence, love, and joy. 🐾 I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their routines closely, giving lots of love and attention, and keeping their space clean and secure. I respect your home like it’s my own and send regular updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. 🐾

About: I am a huge animal lover who grew up with cats, dogs, horses, “pocket pets”, and reptiles. For the past 6 years I worked as a veterinary nurse at a vet clinic. I am now working from home and have dedicated my life to animals. I have fostered over 500 cats and dogs that were homeless and at risk of euthanasia, and I have a dog of my own. Rory is my Golden Retrievers. She loves everyone and everything, every new pup she meets is an opportunity to make a new best friend! She welcomes our boarding pups with open paws ❤️ I understand how stressful it can be to leave your precious fur babies in the care of another individual, and I am hoping to make that less stressful for you! I can guarantee your animal will love our walks and time together, and I am always happy to send updates and a report on how each visit goes to put your mind at ease! Plus we live on three acres, one of which is fully fenced in which is a lot of fun for the pups to run in! We also love going to hikes and walks on trails and love to take our boarding pups along if the owner approves of walks and hikes. I pay close attention to detail, follow instructions well, and your animals well-being is of the utmost importance to me. I live on three acres. One acre is fully fenced in and I have two friendly pups that love other dogs that will help keep yours company! We do not leave dogs outside unattended and we do not leave dogs that are unfamiliar with each other loose together when someone is not monitoring them. Therefore, I do prefer that dogs are crate trained if they are coming to board in my home. When I board a dog, I am at home for majority of the time they are with me (as I feel the benefit of Rover is that your pets are in a home setting not a kennel). However, if I need to run to the grocery store, etc. I must be able to safely crate any dog. We go for daily walks and hikes as well, and love to play fetch! For house sitting, I do not offer constant care. I can offer a midday drop in on the days that I am off, a dinner visit, and then am there 10-12+ hours overnight. I have visits for other clients throughout the day and pets at home that does not allow for constant care. Rest assured, your pets will receive a lot of love and attention. I have a fully fenced secure yard on an acre of land. Dogs are not left outside unattended ever. We take safety very seriously and animals in my care are treated as my own. I do require all dogs be up to date on vaccinations and prescription flea/tick prevention at least a month prior to boarding. I require proof of these vet records prior to boarding. This is for the safety of your pet, current boarding pets, and future boarding pets. Thank you for understanding! We do have a cat in the home and are able to keep them separate from your dogs if needed. However, this is a bit more difficult during extremely busy times of the year (such as major holidays since they are a bit more hectic).

About: I am a new pet sitter ready to help families. I understand what it is like to need someone to watch animals for vacations, day trips, or long work days. I do not have the community to watch my dog, so I want to be the community to help watch your dog. I have a 15 year old dog and a 2 year old puppy. I have seen all stages of the dog experience and I am ready to help others out. I have a hybrid job that I can have the flexibility to check in on your animal throughout the day or even work from your house for a house sit. If needed, I can rearrange my in office days to work remote to best assist you. I am committed to giving your pet what they need. I am prepared to take your dog for a walk, taking them for a car ride, or ensuring their food bowl is around. I love playful dogs and will be happy to take them outside to burn some energy as well.

“Nadia has been great to work with. Very communicative. My dog looks forward to her weekly walks.”

About: Dogs and cats and lizards, oh my! I’ve done it all. For the first 18 years of my life I’ve had experience walking dogs, house sitting, and raising my own pets. Then I began working at a summer camp where I was partially responsible for taking care of our reptile family - crested geckos, bearded dragons, and ball pythons and were just some of the cuties I got to take care of. Since then I have taken care and owned cats, dogs, and lizards of my own and on the side have house sat and loved many family and friends pets while they’re gone. I even have experience with some medical administration such as insulin shots to a feisty cat and pills to the dog I currently own. I can’t wait to get acquainted with your family member :) My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most any time a pet needs taken care of, including during the work day and weekends. I have three dogs, one cat and a crested gecko currently who are all very loved and spoiled by myself, my husband and our almost two year old. We’ve taught all the dogs recall, leash training and how to be gentle around young children. Our cat is an old man with feline herpes, one of our dogs needs daily oral medication and the juvenile gecko gets extra attention as he continues growing.

About: I’m very shy but open quick when I’m around more. I do have a dog and 2 cats myself who are my everything. I don’t have alot of skills with disabilities if they have any I’m a currently working full time and I am on second shift. But I am home when I’m not at work. I rarely go out anyway. Trying to do what I love and animals are everything My dog (koda) roams my house. He was crate trained his first year when I got him but does so well when he roams he’s feed twice a day goes out every 2 hours or so when I’m home he plays and normally goes to my parents house to swim

About: Former federal employee and defense contractor (over 25 years)/deferred retirement. I've been boarding, house sitting, dropping in, walking, and running with dogs since COVID. I also provide cat care. Open to other duties as assigned (mail collection, plant and/or pool/spa care, garbage/recycling, snow clearing, etc.). Prices are adjustable, and willing to trade services for a handy person. No routine here. I have a pit bull at my disposal whenever I feel the need for additional security. House sitting radius is unlimited -willing to travel; drop ins or walks within 10 miles please. Safe neighborhood. I have a .5 acre lot, but only the yard around my pool is fenced in (less than half the lot). Good safety latches on the gates; pool safety cover off-season that dogs are not allowed on. Recently purchased a kiddie pool for the dogs. Dogs must stay on leash during a meet-n-greet at my house, as Rover does not cover those. There will not be any other pets or children present while boarding. I may only be able to adequately supervise 1 dog at a time around the open pool. Bi-level home with carpeted stairs. It has been marked, so if that’s a potential issue, please look elsewhere. 4-wheel drive Jeep, so snow is not likely an issue to get to your fur babies.

About: Throughout my life I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages from newborn pups to pups on the other end of their walk of life. Friends, family, and family friends often call on me to take care of their pets while out of town. I'm working part-time at the moment at a doggie daycare. I have a very flexible schedule, so plenty of time to play with your pups! Giving meals, potty breaks, medicine as needed, mental stimulation, physical activity, and any other specific requests. For work, I have learned dog body language and I observe it, acting appropriately.

About: I grew up around pets. I am very active & can be energetic with your pet. I can play & run (if needed). I love to be around and to spend time with animals. I am very aware of how to take care of an animal. I can spend a good bit of time taking care of them as long as it fits into my schedule! I am flexible with my visits and can come multiple times a day if my schedule doesn’t conflict that day. I work full time, but I have flexibility with having to be in the office so I am able to work with most pet schedules. I also don’t work on the weekends and am usually in town. I can play with pets for hours or just be there to make sure they’re taken care of if they’re more of a shy and/or lazy breed.

About: Ever since I was a child, I’ve had a deep love for animals of all kinds! I’ve grown up with dogs, birds, and a family cat at one point. Over the years, I’ve watched family, friends, peers furr babies. As a proud United States Army Veteran, integrity is incredibly important to me, and I bring that same dedication and care to everything I do. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a leisurely walk, or some well-deserved cuddles, I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry loved one and give them all the love and attention they deserve. I currently own an 7 month old Australian Shepherd Cashew “Cash” Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I work from home and only need WiFi. This flexibility allows me to provide your pet with plenty of attention, care, and time throughout the day! I currently provide pet care by visiting your homes, ensuring your pets are comfortable and well cared for in their own comfortable environment. While I don’t offer in-home sitting yet.. I’m hoping to add that option in the future . just working on convincing my fiancé! 😅

About: I've loved dogs ever since I can remember! I've helped some at a vet clinic and cared for dogs there. I have had my own dog who was a senior. I am very comfortable with, and have a soft spot in my heart for seniors. I actively dog sit acquaintances' dogs. I am very active and will love to run and walk your dog! I am not currently working, so I am home and happily willing to give 24 hour care to your pet. I have the extra time to spend playing with, walking, and snuggling your precious pet! I have a chain link enclosure with a high quality dog igloo, and I can easily crate your dog if needed, as well! While my yard is not fenced, I am home much of the time and am able to take your fur baby on long walks and playtime.

About: I’m Kristen, a Behavioral Science major and a passionate dog mom for over 5 years. I currently care for my three lovable pitties — all with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Through them, I’ve gained real-life experience with leash training, enrichment, socialization, and managing multi-dog dynamics. I’m especially familiar with caring for velcro dogs (like mine!) who love close companionship and need that extra level of emotional support and attention. My Bachelor's in Behavioral Science helps give me a deep understanding of animal behavior. I use positive reinforcement techniques to build trust and encourage good habits. I'm great at reading cues, responding to their needs, and helping them feel comfortable and safe — I always aim to make dogs feel safe, seen, and loved. Whether you have a shy pup, an energetic walker, or a dog who just needs some love and company, I'd be honored to help care for them like they're my own! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize dog walking throughout the day. I spend a lot of time with my own dogs and love incorporating dog walking into my daily routine — it gives me time outdoors, keeps me active, and most importantly, lets me spend time with even more amazing pups! A lot of my work is pet-focused, caring for dogs is already a huge part of my life — both online and off. Whether it's a morning stroll, midday energy burn, or afternoon walk-and-sniff, I’m able to reliably fit your dog’s needs into my day with full attention and love. As a dog walker and sitter, I treat every pup and every home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I know how important it is for your dog to feel safe and understood — and for you to feel confident they’re in good hands. Before each walk, I take time to greet your dog calmly, check their mood, and ensure they’re comfortable and ready to go. During walks, I stay alert, follow your dog’s pace, and make sure their walk is safe, enjoyable, and suited to their needs — whether that means getting some energy out or taking a slow, sniff-filled stroll. If I’m entering your home, I’m always mindful of your space and your dog’s routine. I follow any instructions you leave (feeding, water refills, post-walk routines, etc.) and always double-check things like locked doors and leashes for peace of mind. My goal is to make your dog feel happy, secure, and loved — and to make you feel fully at ease while they’re in my care.
