Dog Walkers in Springport, MI

About: I am recent college graduate and a new high school teacher, so my summers are 100% free. Once school begins, I would be doing afternoon walks or weekend overnights. I grew up with 2 Yorkies and rescued my own 150 lb golden retriever the size of a Great Dane in 2014 (now 9 years old). I have a great deal of animal behavior experience from my own pets both big and small. I have done a great deal of training as well from working with dogs through college getting the basic commands, walking on a leash, and potty training. I also have done quite a bit with my rescue who had horrible manners and mild agression, but he know walks without a leash on all types of property and is a completely different dog. I teach outdoor education and physical education, so I love to go on long walks at the forest preserve and would be willing to run with your dogs, walk them around the neighborhood, or take them to the dog park. I have all types of bowls, backpacks, and water containers so no matter where we go they will have the proper hydration. I am a very outgoing and trustworthy person and would do everything possible to keep your pets safe and happy.

About: I have over 6 years of experience running my own private rescue that specializes in the long term care of disabled and special needs animals. I have a variety of experience from tiny mice to large livestock. I am currently in college pursuing a diploma in dog training and a degree in veterinary medicine! I am currently very flexible with my schedule and availability. I will be able to do weekdays and weekends, pretty much any time of day for drop ins and walks! I always review the pet’s routine, dietary needs, medications, and any specific instructions before the visit. I’m always reachable for questions or concerns during the visit as well! I am also able to provide photo updates when requested!

“Anna was so kind and sweet with our little pup. She was accommodating and accepted our booking kind of last minute, even on a holiday weekend. Thank you for taking care of our girl.”

About: I have had many years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. My background includes dog sitting, daily care, exercise, feeding, administering medications when needed, basic training, and providing a safe, loving environment. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to ensuring every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while in my care. I treat each dog as an individual and work to meet their unique needs and routines. I currently work as a Paraprofessional and will be off for the summer so that will free up my time to dedicate toward pet needs. I have 30 acres of land and location a half mile off the road. I have plenty of area to go for walks with animal for excersice.

About: I’m knowledgeable in breed-specific needs and maintain consistency to keep them mentally and physically happy! I have previously taken dog behavior courses and am familiar with dog body language. I have worked with dogs of all sizes and ages! No dog is “too much!” I am comfortable with administering medications and providing grooming for long haired/high maintenance breeds. I have worked with puppies all the way up to senior dogs so I am comfortable handling all ages. I have a full-time job but am more than happy to fit time in to take care of your lovely fur baby. My typical shift is 8:00-4:30pm M-F. I have open availability on weekends to provide housesitting! If you are looking for constant care (pet cannot be left alone for 4 hours or more), I am happy to provide that however, I do charge a constant care rate if during the work week as I will need to take those days off and I will need to recoup lost salary. For constant care pets, I do require at least a month’s notice ahead of time so I can get that time off to accommodate. I will never take a sit if my work schedule cannot accommodate it—your pet’s care and safety is extremely important to me. I will work with you to decide if I am the right fit for your pet’s needs and routine. Nothing is worse than upsetting your pet’s routine and comfortability! I now offer drop-visits as well! This is great for people who might need someone to check in your fur baby a couple times a day but does not need around-the-clock needs. I am happy to drop in before work (8am) and can drop by after work! If you’re someone who works longer shifts, this is perfect for you! I am comfortable crating your pet if requested but they are also more than welcome to share a bed with me if they are used to sleeping with you! If you have an unfenced yard, I will keep them on leash at all times. If you have a fenced yard, I will stay out and monitor them until they are ready to come inside. Doors will be locked at all times whether I am in the home with your pet or if I’m at work. If you have any home-alarm systems, I will use them as well.

About: I have taken care of many animals. I was raised on a dairy farm and my family has had dogs my whole life. My family currently has 3 dogs. I am currently working part time in Onondaga so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I enjoy spending my free time with animals. I live on a farm so I have plenty of room for pups to run around. I also have a fenced in area if needed.

About: I've taken care of dogs both large and small breed since I was a kid for myself as well as other family members. Beyond dogs, I grew up raising cattle and have had various small animal pets as well. Currently have a Black Lab (Cruz), who is a gentle giant. I work full-time, but I'm willing to spend my lunch break with your pup. I also have the ability to care for your pup in the evening if needed. Walks, drop-ins, etc! Just let me know how I can help. Each pet has its own "vibe" in my opinion. Prior to caring for your pet, I would ask some questions to help me better understand THEM and their needs. When it is time to take care of them, I would do my best to ensure that they know I'm safe and simply want to be their buddy. Some pets aren't so trusting at first (grew up with a Black Lab like this), so it may take time....and that is perfectly okay. My goal is not to overload them, and let them warm up to me at their own pace.

About: Hi! My name is Hope. I’m very excited to start this journey and meet new people and their dog/cat companions. I love animals so much. I grew up with animals all my life- including dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, goats, frogs, turtles, rats, rabbits, birds, etc! All animals are a blessing! I have some experience with training, would not consider myself a pro lol. I do volunteer to New Hope Pet Rescue and I dog sit for Denise Rose. I love helping people as well, I just love helping in general such as cleaning, babysitting, dog sitting, etc. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your companion! I’m currently working at 4pm-10pm on Wednesday through Sunday. My schedule is flexible outside of work and even during work hours sometimes. We can always work something out. I enjoy this job very much and I love helping. My home is in the country, I don’t have a fenced in yard but I do have a fenced in area where my goats used to live (they aren’t here anymore). I do have two dogs, two cats, and a cockatiel. I have no problem leaving your companion out of a cage even when I am gone or I can cage them-whatever you prefer! I just let them hang out and go outside whenever they want. I also have some leashes and a tie out. I normally just leave a bowl of food and water out all the time but if you have a set schedule when they eat that is fine too, I can do that.

About: I can travel. I have dealt with medications. Great at juggling more than one pet! Attentive!! Responsible. Happy pets! Happy owners! You won’t be disappointed! I am working part time. I’m hoping to make pet care a larger part of my occupation. I’m available more than most people with jobs. I ensure they have a healthy routine. Consistency is important to me for walks and meals. And giving them lots of love! Always being cautious!

About: As a retired mother with over 40 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a nurturing, dependable touch to every pet I meet. Friends and family have trusted me for decades to walk, feed, and love their pets as if they were my own. I have extensive experience with rescue and senior animals, understanding the patience and special care they often need. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my lifetime of dedication, calm demeanor, and deep compassion for animals of all ages and backgrounds. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I work part-time as a nanny for my nephew, but I still have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to care for your pets. Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine, and I’m available most weekdays and weekends for visits, walks, or check-ins. I’m happy to help keep your pets happy and cared for whenever you need support. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I will carefully follow all instructions and routines to ensure your pet feels secure and cared for. Whether it’s a drop-in visit for companionship or a walk around the neighborhood, I will provide attentive, trustworthy care in a loving environment that helps your pet feel at ease while you’re away.

About: Hey everybody! My name is Alex and I am very grateful and eager to be apart of a business that helps dogs and their loving owners. I have come to learn that pet care is quite important in my ten plus years of experience with dogs. Years ago, I was a partner in an organization that rescued dogs from kill shelters and then found them safe and loving forever homes. SO I am no stranger to dogs and good quality care. If you have any questions for me in terms of my experience or services, please do not hesitate to call. Any age from little rambunctious pups to easy going older dogs, I am happy to oblige to making life easier for you and your dog!

About: I have had a dog pretty much growing up and one in my adult life. I have taken care of my parents cat during the summer while they are on vacation. As of now, I’m pet sitting part-time. I make sure that pets have fresh food and water every morning. I also take them outside every couple of hours to do what they need. I love to have your dogs outside as much as possible. A fenced in backyard would be ideal, but I also love going to local parks give your furry friend some exercise.

About: I grew up with cats and have 2 and 5 year old dogs currently. I love having friends pets over for weekends, play dates, and getting outside for walks. I hope I can share my passion for animals with you and your family by helping you out. I will love your fur baby like it’s my own. I work during the day, but would love to help you out in the afternoon/evenings. I am also available during the weekends for check ins and overnight stays. I will take care of your pets like they are my own. I am comfortable administering medicine if needed. I will keep their litter boxes clean and fresh throughout my time. I will also play and love your animal with lots of pets.

About: I have had dogs and cats in my home since I was a child. I have always taken the best of care of my pets. I worked for the Humane Society at one time, but my heart almost broke with love for all of those animals. I always wave and speak to animals, a little corny, but true. You will not find someone who cares more about the well being of your pet. I have also welcomed pet visitors into my classroom frequently. I am currently off for the summer because I am a teacher, so I have lots of time to love and devote to your pet! I have a fenced back yard that allows for running and playing. My own children love pets also. I have two dogs and two cats of my own.

About: Pet enthusiast looking to share my love and compassion for animals in exchange for fair rates. I have ample room so prolonged pet watching be it overnight or long-term is available. Flexible rates for weekly, biweekly or monthly. Your Fur-baby will be in wonderful loving hands. I am a independent contractor so very flexible schedule to give the care that is needed to your pal(s). Can set aside ample time for him or her. I provide care that is aligned with how a pet owner would want their pet taken care of. I treat pets like the fur mamma I am, with loving compassion and patience knowing that a pet is a part of the family first and an animal second respecting each individual's own set of needs and natural behavior. I am going to school for vet tech so boarding and taking care of pets is not jus a gig it is a passion and a lifelong love.

About: I love animals! Dogs are my favorite, especially big dogs! Their love is unconditional so I try to match their excitement to meet a new person they wanna love! I have had animals all my life, from dog/cat to exotic to farm animals. I love them all and am willing to help with whatever you'll need! Cats, rats, dragons or fish/axolotl's. Ive even fed roaches to a lizard petsitting a neighbors house! That was icky but i did it🤣 I am a stay at home mama, my kids are in school and so when my farm chores are done, Id love to take care of your babies to earn extra mula :) Who wouldnt want to get paid to play with animals?🤣 One of my dogs is super protective so Id have to go to their home, but I could play, throw the ball, go for a hike etc. Whatever the owner tells me the dog likes, we can do! :) I dont mind. Ive had a great dane that fetched three times just wanted to cuddle and Ive had german shepherds who fetched a million times and didnt want cuddles! So whatever the owner tells me, ill respect of them and their furbaby🫶🏼

About: My fiancé and I just moved to Eaton rapids not too long ago, we recently got our puppy in June and he is a wild guy. His name is Loki and he is a lab mixed with German shepherd so he’s got quite the personality. He loves people and other animals but sometimes can be a little extra crazy when he’s playing. If you have specific requests to keep them separated if I look after your fur baby I can. I currently have a job right now but I am looking for other jobs to take on for a little while, trying to save some extra money for my wedding next year! I have a friendly dog he just can get a little crazy and jumpy when’s he is playing. If I need to I can keep the pets separate so each have their own space. I do live in the city but I have a decent amount of yard for the dogs to run around or walk around on their leash.

“Owen was fantastic with Murray. He took the time to make sure Murray (and me) was comfortable with him before his walk and even sent pictures during the walk. I would definitely recommend Owen.”

About: I have been taking care of different breeds of dogs including Boxer, Pit bull, Chihuahua, Shih Tzu, Werner dog, Labrador, Pomeranian, Saint Benard, Pugs, Bull dog. From playing, walking, bathing, brushing, feeding and watering, to pick up a half n acre of poop. I love animals and taking care of them and if you can’t take care of your fur baby or don’t have the time to play with them when needed. I’d be more then happy to lend a helping hand. Im currently unemployed looking for an animal job. So I can be there whenever you need me. Whither that’s a week day or the weekend just reach out and let me know. I have a fenced in yard. And in my house there are 2 dogs and 4 cats. One of the dogs and 2 of the cats are mine. My chihuahua likes to go out to go potty and have her outside zoomies about every 4 hours and after she likes to play a bit after coming in before going off and doing her own thing. Then there is Buddy and Albert my 2 cats. Buddy is old and snuggly and demands a clean litter box so I’m very good at scooping right away. Albert is still very young so he’d much rather play then cuddle, so I tend to play with him for about a half n hour before he’s to tired and wants to go play in a box by himself.
