Dog Walkers in Tompkins, MI

“Brooklyn was flexible and easy to work with. I will certainly look for her again next time. We met prior to her scheduled walking of my Pomsky, Razia to give her access to my apartment and discuss details. She is very nice and professional. Thanks, again!”

“Darla uses the full 30 minutes to take my dog Brody on a nice walk so he can experience the outdoors. She takes her time with him and lets him explore and sniff. He always enjoys her and her dog Mila’s visits.”

“Shae was great! She was able to accommodate our last minute request. Had great communication, was punctual and our doggos seemed so happy! What more could you ask for in a sitter!!”

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 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 love all animals. I have my own dog and cats and they rule my house. They are my family and I treat them like family. My family trusts me to take care of their animals when out of town. Your animals will always be treated the same as all animals deserve love, nurturing, and respect. They will be first and foremost. I am very observant and will keep your animal safe as I have done with my own. I will keep them active and happy. I have an environment-friendly home and filtered water. Plenty of room in my house to play. I reward with treats. Messes happen and no big deal, never punish as it just happens. I will abide by all instructions in caring for your animals.

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.

About: I have been the primary caretaker of all the family dogs. Plus plenty of my friends have me dog sit when they are out of town. I am familiar with everything from general feeding to medication administering. I am currently working on my realtors license and am a SAHM. My hours are very flexible as realty allows me to make my own hours. I will treat your pets like I treat mine, and those girls are SPOILED. All the love and cuddles they will allow me to give.

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.

About: Growing up with dogs my entire life has given me a deep understanding and love for animals of all kinds. My experience volunteering at animal shelters has taught me patience, compassion, and how to care for pets with different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like family and strive to create a safe, loving, and comforting environment while their owners are away. I’m currently working part-time at a retail store this summer before I go back to college in the fall. This gives me plenty of extra time and energy to dedicate to caring for your pets. I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals whether that means playing, going on walks, keeping them company, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, loved, active, and comfortable both in my home and in my clients homes. I have a Dalmatian of my own so I’m very familiar with the energy, attention, and care dogs need on a daily basis. I take my Dalmatian on multiple walks every day, play with her constantly, provide enrichment activities to keep her mentally stimulated, and make sure she stays on a healthy feeding schedule. I also have a pet cat that I care for daily by playing with him, feeding him, giving him cuddles, and keeping his litter box clean and fresh.

“I highly recommend Veronica as a dog walker and caretaker. Reliability and responsibility are among Veronica‘s greatest strengths. She communicates effectively with pet owners by providing regular updates and photos.”

About: Walking is my favorite hobby! I’d love to take your pup out with me. I have experience caring for a wide range of pets using Rover since 2021 and off the app prior. My top priority is having a very clear communication on what you need to feel comfortable and worry free while you are away! Having an understanding of what your pup’s routine is very important to me. I would love to meet you and talk through all your pet care needs. Let’s chat. My schedule to walk or to drop in is flexible and I can work with most requests. Please feel free to reach out with your request and we can work together to find a good fit! Your pet is the customer! I am looking forward to working together to make sure your pup gets what they need while you are away from them.

“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’ve owned multiple dogs my whole life, from our current German Shepherd and Siberian Husky to the two pugs we adopted when I was in high school to the lovey dog we found as a kid that we named Scooby-Doo because he looked just like him. I’ve helped care for all of them from walks around the block to feeding time to going outside just for potty and play time. I’ve also helped out a few friends with their dogs since high school while they were away. I’m currently a stay at home mom with a decently open schedule after my kids go to school in the morning and once my husband gets home from work during the week and am available during all hours of the weekend. If you are comfortable with your pets coming to my house I have two very friendly dogs who love play dates if your fur babies play well with others and a big back yard and a fenced in side yard for plenty of running around room or games of fetch. If I’m watching your dog(s) at your home I will follow whatever schedule you have for them on top of making time for play, walks and love so that they don’t feel neglected in any way while you are away. I also am more than comfortable with giving them baths if need be.

About: Been around dogs since birth. I understand dogs better than I understand people. Trained my dogs to do basic stuff within first couple days of having them and won't have a problem doing the same with yours if wanted. Open to any dates at any time of the day. Currently this is my only job to try to get enough experience to open my own board and train My dogs free roam around the yard.
