Dog Sitting Swartz Creek

About: Hi! 🤗 thanks for checking me out! I have a ton of experience with animals! I have experience in animal hospitals and doggy daycares alike 😃 Taking care of animals is where my heart is. I’ve always had multiple animals at a time. CPR and trauma experienced. I’m available all the time currently! Which means longer walks, play in the yard, or cuddles! I walk dogs full time so don’t be shy! I can’t watch anyone in my apartment, but I can come to your home or take them out and about! My attitude changes with each animal as I learn them. Most dogs I’m pretty playful with and have a lot of high energy play, some like to just sit next to a warm body on the couch and I can do that too.

“Awesome person!”

About: From a young age, I've had a special bond with dogs. My parents took in neighborhood samoyeds and newfoundlands that had been abandoned by their owners. I grew up with them, trained them, did my best to make sure their home was loving. Since my neighbors knew I was good with large dogs, I frequently dog sat for them. I quickly became an expert in leash technique, engaging play, making sure they were fed right, and just plain being there for them. I don't have any dogs right now (my apartment is way too small) but I know I'll meet that special fluffy guy when I get a bigger place. I'm available nearly all the time, as I'm not currently working and am only doing occasional volunteering in the Bitter Lake/Greenwood/Shoreline area. I have the availability of a tireless assistant! I believe in respecting a dog's boundries while also being very mindful of their needs. From years of experience I've learned to find the proper balance and give the dog the best experience possible.

About: I offer all kinds of pet care, walking, drop ins, box scooping, yard scooping, play time, cuddle time, food/watering, general medication administration, wound care, brushing and much more. I have experiance with domestic animals, pocket pets (hamsters, ect.), lizards, bugs, rescued wildlife and ect. If it can be a pet I more then likely have taken care of them. I love all animals and would love to care for yours anyway I can. I currently have a Dog, 3 Cats and take care of several other animals for family and friends, so im kind of an Auntie to many animals. I live in a large 2 story home, with a large fenced in yard and live in a quiet subdivision in Flushing near the Golf Course. I can keep pets seperate from our other household pets or they are all up to date on vaccinations and are other animal friendly so if you feel your pet would like to co-mingle then that is possible too. You let me know your pets needs and I can usually accommodate a way to adjust areas to suit there needs in my home. No young children or loud environment, just quiet, relaxing space for your pet to enjoy while away from home.

About: I worked at Potter Park Zoo. I have experience boarding, and training dogs. I have the experience to keep your pets both safe and happy. I care for dogs and cats daily as the owner of a boarding facility. This will be another offering for my customers and the community. There is opportune time to attend to in home visits. I will use my experience of owning a boarding facility, which can house up to 34 pet guests, to care for your pets in your home. I will feed, let out and interact and play with them.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have my own puppy, Mika, and I’ve helped care for her dog parents and their litter of nine puppies, which gave me valuable experience with young dogs and the extra attention they require. I’ve also cared for a doodle named Libby, as well as my foster parents’ dogs, Bella and Brutus. Through these experiences, I’ve become comfortable managing multiple dogs, maintaining routines, providing exercise and enrichment, and making sure each dog receives individual attention and care. As a nanny, I’m naturally patient, attentive, and dependable. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I am on summer break from graduate school until I go back the last week of August. I currently have Tuesdays-Thursdays free and Saturdays and Sundays free! I will follow any sort of special feeding schedule, and I am able to crate dogs of they need to be! I have a dog who likes to try and run out the front door so I have lots of experience making sure dogs like her stay inside and safe! I also have 10+ years of cat experience and stick to strict feeding times and cleaning litter boxes!

“I had very little cell service when I was on my trip but it was really nice and reassuring that Makayla was still very attentive and communicative about our pets. I get really anxious being away from them especially with no cell service! But I very much appreciate the pics and communications from Makayla. I def recommended and even book her again for any future trips! Thanks for being affordable and just overall amazing. My family and I appreciate you!”

“Sam was great! We have an active boy cat that we were worried about leaving alone for a week's vacation. Everything went smoothly and we loved seeing the pictures of Henry.”

About: Not only did I grow up with dogs, I have worked as a certified dog trainer at Petco for over a year. I am a trustworthy resource for your dog. I’m currently working part time and have a strict schedule of availability on Monday- Thursday every week. Just beep me if you wanna reach me! I will be mindful of your dogs boundaries, I don’t pet dogs that don’t like to be pet. I will provide your dog with water and food as needed. When a dog shows signs they have to go potty I will let them outside or take them on a walk and clean after them. When dogs get bored I will play with them and keep them entertained with their toys and treats. I practice training tricks to keep their brains happy and stimulated!

“Rachel is great! It's not often we need a pet sitter to drop in, but when we do go away for a trip I feel comfortable leaving my babies in her care.”

About: I thought I would grow up to be a veterinarian. I love to sit and enjoy my time with Dogs. Animals my passion and I love and enjoy all of them! I’d love to use my strengths and education with 15 years of hands on animal handling skill and training to cater to the needs of your pets to comfort your companion while you're away, I can assure you the pet owner they’re living their best life in my care. I send tons of pictures and show love care and compassion. I have been an animal handler and curated for 15 years, comforting and catering to your companions. I would love to be that trusted person you book when it comes to your pets needs and overall bliss! I have open availability. Taking new clients! I handle dogs and cats every single day! I have a wonderful dog named Charlie (really my mom’s dog) and have been handling a multitude of breeds for 15 years. Learning all different kinds of personalities. I have come accustomed to understanding animals in a way that serves me and can serve you comfort and overall peace and joy knowing your companion is in the best care possible. I love being an animal handler and specializing in dogs specifically. I have curated my skills and know how to really be there for your pet in a way that matters. Every day and every action will add up in your overall animals life quality and I know how to do things for your pet that will matter later down the line, when you don’t have time to. I do! Communication is huge for me and your pet! Your pets schedule and goals are my mission and I don’t miss out on sending tons of update pics and what we have planned for the day! I care for dogs in my clients home. I do not host in my home. But the ultimate focus when I’m at my clients home is paying attention to your dogs behavior. Separation anxiety is a huge trigger for dogs not eating and becoming unhealthy and creating unhealthy habits and I do everything in my power to distract the worry and bring play and fun and most importantly comfort. Your dog will learn how to communicate with me very quickly and once I can assess their needs, wants and desires then they tend to feel heard and more at peace with their owner being away. Creating or sticking to a schedule and incorporating healthy dog play and walks is important. A healthy dog is an happy dog! When I come back they are joyful! I love that feeling of creating a good relationship with your pet, And with YOU!

“I needed someone on very short notice (on Christmas Eve) to let my old girl Lola out for me at night to save me from having to leave family Christmas party and drive 30 minutes both ways. Kellie came in clutch! Quick responses, and followed instructions precisely. Will definitely book again in the future.”

I do not have a fenced yard, but do live on a dead end street, if your dog were to stay here.

About: Welcome! I have over 20years experience working with dogs. I like to look at my pet boarding as an Airbnb for pets! I am a former service dog trainer. I am currently enrolled in dog training courses through Rover. I will be completing a Veterinarian Assistant program this summer. There is always someone home or available. I work & study remotely. I do provide talking dog buttons. If your dog uses them let me know & we will have them available with words your dog uses & hopefully learn some new ones! Anything that is trending that promoted positive life quality for dogs I usually have on hand or am incorporating it into use Each day I incorporate daily walks, cuddles, & basic training. Basic training is eye contact, leash & buddy walking. I provide one on one time for the dogs each daily. I make sure no dog feels left out. In the summer months their last night of boarding they get a special walk to the ice cream store to enjoy a pup cup & extra one on one time. On weekends in the summers. I am outside most days . The dog/s can enjoy ice bowls, kiddie pool, water sprinklers and shade in the backyard. In the summer I offer water play daily! They have free will to come in & out of the house into the fenced in yard all day! In the fall & winter months the dogs can enjoy outside time by a warm outdoor doggie bonfire. There are areas they can romp in the leaves & explore. I also incorporate daily walks weather permitting. On colder days or rainy days we have a rainy paw day. If the dogs are open to it they can enjoy some doggy stretches, Spaw services such as coconut oil rubs on their paw pads, homemade doggie treats, and dog related movies and cuddles!

About: I absolutely adore spending time with dogs and giving them the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while their families are away. Whether it’s energetic daily walks, playful park adventures, or calm drop-ins with plenty of belly rubs and treats, I make sure every pup feels happy, safe, and loved. With my flexible schedule as an Audiologist Assistant and Pilates instructor-in-training, I’m often available for morning, midday, or evening walks and can accommodate last-minute needs. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels (including seniors and high-energy pups), and I’m comfortable with basic medications, special diets, or following any custom routines your dog needs. Pet parents can count on me for frequent photo and text updates so you never miss a moment. Safety is my top priority — I always use secure leashes, check for hazards, and follow your instructions to the letter. I’m a mom to a sweet little girl and believe in treating every pet like part of the family. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, enthusiastic dog walker who will give your furry friend the best care possible, I’d love to meet you and your pup!
