Dog Walking in Swan, Grand Rapids, MI

“Melissa was absolutely wonderful with my dog Kitsu. He started showing signs of his health deteriorating and she was quick to inform me and spent extra time with him making sure he was comfortable and well cared for. She was also a great support to me as his health declined rapidly even though I had only met her in person once. Melissa is a true lover of animals and has such immense compassion that I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: I love all animals, and especially enjoy meeting new dogs! At home, I have two senior cats as well as a bunny, and get a lot of joy from spending time with them. Over the years I've lived with dogs, which has given me great dog-sitting, walking and training experience. Since losing my beloved family dog, I look forward to having more time with dogs again! I have a very flexible schedule, and am typically available for early mornings and evenings with no issue. I am also available most weekends and am happy to schedule in advance. I approach all creatures with a calm demeanor and treat them as if they are my own! I believe that trust is built over time, and that our animals deserve love and respect. Like humans, every animal is unique in their preferences and personalities, and I embrace learning about pets in this way during every interaction.

“Gaby is awesome all around and attentive to my dog, Emmy’s, specific needs and personality.She is a very clear and prompt communicator, and goes the extra mile for your dog!”

“Ricardo is amazing! First time using Rover and I absolutely picked the right person. He scheduled a meet-and-greet to introduce himself and get to know my dog. They were completely at ease with each other. Ricardo’s a proactive communicator, provided regular updates, and was always friendly and punctual. I highly recommend.”

About: I am a retired Special Education Teacher. Your pet will get spoiled in my home or yours! I am a compassionate, caring person. I have been providing care for dogs for 4 years. I have plenty of references to back up any recommendation that you made need. My last pet was a puppy named Bella that I provided care for. I watch her 30 hours a week and helped potty train her. I loved her as if she was my own. I was Gramma Lisa to her and we formed a special bond which I do with all the pets I watch. I have had dogs in my life since I was young. I tell my friends that I will know I am heaven when I see my past dogs around me.

“Sara was PERFECT for our girl Freya. She has wonderful energy and our Freya was a happy happy dog!! Thank you Sara!! See you soon!!!”

About: I’ve raised pets from puppies/kittens till crossing the rainbow bridge and have enjoyed pet sitting both at my home and others homes for various different animals. I work 4am-1pm Sat-Wed. I have the rest of my day free for care and play time and go to bed around 10pm. I enjoy the serotonin it brings me after a hectic day of work. At my home we have a fenced in backyard and dog friendly park. I stick to routine and proper care for that specific animal’s needs.

About: I am able to administer pills and clips nails. I can do simple training but do not have professional training experience. No special instruction is silly to me! I understand that this is your fur child and I will treat it like it was my own. I can cook if needed. I can handle dogs of all breeds and ages. I have a German shepherd husky pitbull mix, so I can handle high energy dogs.I can provide the human interaction for your pup while you are away! I loves all pets! I do odd end jobs, this allows me to be flexible and do pet sitting as much I am needed. I am will to drive to your home but no overnight stays. I have my own pup that I need to stay with. I can crate and medicate your pup if needed. I have no problem being at your home for as long as your baby needs me to be. I can transport if a park visit is required I have a large van with a bed for your pup to relax in.

About: I come from a family of animal lovers and as such have had cats and dogs in the house since I was a child. I have cared for the pets of my neighbors, friends, and family for years through dog walking and pet sitting. I have been loving on and training a puppy of my own since March! I’d love to help give your pet all the love and attention they deserve 😊 I am a graduate student at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, MI. Because of this, I have a flexible schedule, aside from set class times, throughout the work week. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, big breeds welcome! I am happy to meet you wherever you are with training, medication, play time, etc. I have a puppy of my own and am totally comfortable with puppies. 😊

“Stephani is amazing! We just adopted our pup not too long ago and she is super shy, but she warmed up to Stephani right away! She’s patient, knowledgeable and caring, can’t ask for much more.”

About: Animals have always liked me, even the ones that "don't like people" have magically liked me and I take that as the highest compliment! I've taken care of a wide variety of pets my whole life, so I'd feel comfortable caring for your furry, scaled or feathered friends like they were my own! My day job is taking care of people as a Physician, so I promise to be kind, trustworthy, loving and patient with your fur babies so they get the care they deserve while you're away. I work remotely with plenty of flexibility in my schedule for drop-in visits, walks or longer stays throughout the Grand Rapids area so your pets can be comfortable and well taken care of while you're away. I am happy to follow any specific instructions for your pets to make sure they have exactly what they need to thrive. Beware, I have been known to give too much love, attention and treats to cute pets...so yours may be spoiled if you choose me to take care of them. I will do whatever is needed for your fur babies while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, meals, cuddles or trips to the park, I'll make sure they are well taken care of. I will make sure your home is left exactly the way I find it and will treat your space with respect while I'm there.

About: I’ve taken care of pets other than my own since seven years old. From family, to friends, to neighbors. Good with pets of all ages, phenomenal at getting stubborn senior pups to eat their food. I am currently a full-time student, with most classes landing in the 8am-4pm range. There is usually a break between, so I am available for mid-day walks/visits! I am available on some holidays. I currently live with my anti-pet parents, so caring for pets in my clients home is ideal. This is much less stressful on the pet, having their familiar environment. I am non-invasive and will respect any requests you have for my time in your home.

About: Ive had/taken care of dogs since I was a young! Love walking, playing and looking after pups. So I believe I would be best to care after your fur baby when you need me too! Pet care currently fits into my schedule cause I got injured at work so I have to take some time off and I need something to do that I enjoy doing! Also in the process of starting a drone business so any bookings go straight to that! Thank you! I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big deal, and I don’t take that lightly. I provide a calm and patient environment and always go at your dogs pace. I stay in tune with their comfort level, needs, and routines. My focus is to build trust with both of you and to make sure your pup feels safe, loved and cared for!

“Breanna is great! She always gives great summaries of the walks (with cute pictures) and is reliable as well as flexible. She's helped our puppy become a better leash walker, too!”
