Dog Walkers in Suttons Bay, 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: I’ve been dog walking, pet sitting and doing home check ins for friends family and coworkers since I was 10. Love getting out in nature on long walks or checking in on your pets if you have to be away all day! My 3-4 day work week allows me free time on Monday- Wednesdays for walks and check ins. I’m available most mornings! Occasionally available for house sitting or boarding. I have a large, tidy house where your dogs will be able to roam worry free. I live on a quiet street surrounded by woods and a park nearby, perfect for long walks and lots of trees to sniff without having to worry about street traffic.

About: I grew up with several large and small dogs in my household, and I also began watching dogs about 8 years ago. I began overnight sitting around 4 years ago as well. I have also been cat sitting for about 3 years, and have a cat of my own! I am comfortable administering prescriptions to all pets, as well as regular care (potty breaks, clean ups, brushing, interaction, litter boxes, walking, etc). I have worked with pets of all size variations, and am happy to work with yours! I am a full-time bedside RN on night shift, so I work 3 nights a week for 12-hour shifts. My schedule changes weekly, but I would never accept a job that I am not available for. I have great flexibility due to only working 3 nights a week, as I often switch back to days after a stretch, or can stay on nights if preferred. I am happy to watch your pet overnight at your home. I am comfortable with most services, including but not limited to: walking, going outside for potty breaks, cleaning up after pets, cleaning litter boxes, administering prescription medications, brushing pets, feeding pets, and more. If something is needed for your pet that is not listed here, I am willing to talk about it and see if it is in my scope!

“Karen was awesome. So friendly, she put me at ease right away, she obviously loves dogs. She had great communication and was punctual picking up our dog for his walk. He looked like he had a fun time. I would not hesitate to use Karen again.”

About: Dogs are the best and my 3 at home always keep it interesting. I have been around every dog stage of life from new born puppy to Rainbow Bridge. I work from home M-F during the day but have a lot of flexibility during my days. Open most weekends as well. Am a planner by nature but can likely squeeze in last minute requests or needs as well due open schedule. I prefer detailed directions from owners as all pets are so different! I would love to spend enough time with your pets to bond/connect and get to know their personalities.

About: I have pet sit for my family and friends for many years! I would love to care for all animals and your best friends :) I work full time as a nurse but only work 3x a week. willing to work around my schedule to take care of your besties:) My home is very clean and lack of clutter. I have carpet but its easy to clean:) I am excited to take care your friends.

“Meera had a great walk with Alexa today! Alexa came to my rescue when, unexpectedly, I wasn’t going to be able to exercise Meera. With almost no notice on my part, she showed up on time, communicated promptly and clearly, and was lovely with my puppers. Meera is now having a much happier day because of Alexa!”

About: I have had dogs and some cats most of my life...i cannot see my life with out them...I love them all..I will love yours too..

I do not have the room or the fenced in back yard or the time since I work full time...

About: I have a 6-year-old Great Pyrenees named Nala, a sweet and loyal guard dog, so I have experience and comfort interacting with all sizes, big and small. I also have two boy cats, Widget and Panko, whom I adopted 8 years ago. I love animals! Over the years, my friends and family have entrusted me with the care of their pets (and home) whenever they're out of town. I work in the field of film, which is typically 3-4 projects a month, so I have pretty open availability for pet care in the days between. I like to ensure that both pets and pet parents feel taken care of, whatever is needed to feel comfort and trust and not have to worry about anything. Beyond the essential needs, I like to go above and beyond by including whatever unique interactions, games, treats, routines, training needs, or other fun things the pet(s) are engaging with at that time.

“Jonathan. So professional efficient on time loving and gentle with our Jayda. Jonathan is my Number 1 choice in the future. It was a pleasure and also calming to know Jonathan was taking care of our baby!! He left us notes on their walk and how Jayda enjoyed them! Thank you Jonathan!”

About: I've had my dog business for 5+ years and I devote my time to special dogs during the day or on weekends. I cared for my two dogs until they passed away. Now I have time to devote to other dogs who need my support. I have time in my life to care for your lovely dogs, walking them during the week and watching them for overnights on the weekends As my yard is not fenced in, I prefer to go to clients home to help out. I have a reliable vehicle and could come and visit

About: I love dogs! have been dog mama to 3 labs and a little 6 pound rescue guy - currently can’t have my own so would love to fill my heart with your furry pal when you’re away. I’m very active so enjoy walking / hiking / running with a dog. I work very part time - remote- so my schedule is super flexible. Can walk your dog, visit your dog, stay at your home to watch your dog. At this time, I do not have any pets. I would walk / run your dog on leash. Love to take on hikes at the park if they are other dog friendly.

About: I have dog sat for younger, older, and more hyper dogs. I have also done some cat sitting. I have no problem dealing with puppies too. I am out of school for summer so I have a lot of time on my hands. I’m available almost all points in the day. I am capable of keeping a dog on the leash or in a yard. I can also keep a dog in the crate if needed.

About: Hello! I am mother to one huge Great Pyrenees dog, 2 cats (one cuddly, one cranky) and one human. I have taken care of animals my whole life starting with my own dogs as a child. Later I became a professional pet/home sitter as a side job. Now I take care of my own and my friends pets. I have experience with all sizes and ages including the elderly and ailing. My last three dogs (Jack Russell, medium sized mix, Great Pyrenees) were rescues and I understand the intricacies involved with pets who come from bad situations. I love love cats as well and have taken care of my own for the past ten years. I am currently working full time in education so my summer availability is wide open. During the school year weekends are available for walks and 1or 2 night stays in your home. Pets love their routines! In my house we stick to a pretty standard schedule of two long walks a day with a lot of potty breaks in between. In your home we'll stick to your schedule so your pet can be the most comfortable without its parents. I love long dog walks and play and snuggles too. Cats make their own rules (lol)! Cat snuggles are always welcome and my cats love short play sessions. Maybe yours do too?

“Sara was so great and helped me out last minute. She was very responsive and took great care of Archie.”

About: I'm a college student and I love animals. Throughout all of highschool I volunteered at an animal shelter once a week and volunteer for the summer when I home from college. Volunteering at the animal shelter helped me learn how to read dogs body language and care for dogs of different sizes with different personalities. I enjoy taking care of animals and connecting with dogs. I'm a full time college student during the school year getting my BSN. I’m currently home for the summer and looking for a flexible job. I love spending time with dogs and cats! My priority is the pet's safety and happiness. I have lots of experience working with different animals in shelters and dog siting through friends and family. I would care for the pets by doing whatever the client needed me to do and leaving the house better than I found it.

About: I am and always have been an avid pet lover, so I will treat your baby with the love he/she deserves. I’m skilled in bathing dogs if that’s ever needed. I’m also very good with puppies, and relatively good with senior pets and giving them the love they need. I work part-time at Wendy’s on Division at varying times, so we will have to discuss when I can walk if you live in Traverse City. I will always be able to sit though. I’m respectful of the surroundings of the animal, and I will make sure they are comfortable around me, as well as the human that loves them.

About: Ever wondered what it would be like to have your own personal national park? Now your furry friends can enjoy the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and their own private park like setting with over 80 acres of leashed exploration and even a few fenced in acres for off leash play. I am a retired professional with a desire to cater to animals who are accustomed to getting individual attention year round and expect their custom treatment, cuddles, and meals to be routinely available even when the rest of their service humans are not. I have a have a senior golden retriever who is slowing down at 12.5 and we are simply more active than he currently requires. I enjoy getting to spend all day with animals and am opening up our special place to our furry local friends. Rest assured that I will care for your animal family beyond how anyone would care for a human family member. I also understand that the pet's safety and security are paramount to the quality of the experience for both the pet and their family. Also, belly rubs on demand.
