Dog Walkers in Traverse City, MI

“Megan walked my dog a couple days ago week while I was at work during the school year and it was the biggest help! She is super flexible and understanding when schedules changed. Loved having the peace of mind knowing Lief was taken care of on my long work days. Would absolutely recommend Megan! :)”

About: I have worked among various dog breeds and environments, including; house visits, check-ins, walks, as well as a frequent volunteer at the local humane society. I currently work in property management in TC! I am a native to the area and have always had a huge passion for animals and rescuing! I currently spend my time off with my dogs, at the shelter, or at my properties! I have a flexible job which allows me to stop in throughout the day! Currently, I have two dogs. We spend a lot of time hiking, playing outside, going on walks, and playing with our favorite bones. We love peanut butter treats and snuggling with mom. We love to meet new friends, so we will do an occasional trip to the park here and there!

“Thanks Allison for getting the walk in even with the rain!”

About: I have had pets for my entire life. Growing up I cared for strays and found loving homes for them. Animals alway have my heart. I am currently working part time. And I am wanting to incorporate caring for pets in my off hours and of course on my days off. For my pets I have an invisible fence in place to keep them in our yard. I take my pets on a daily walk to help keep them healthy.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover! I’ve grown up around cats and dogs and have always been my friends and families go-to pet sitter. I love all animals as if they’re my own! I’m currently working part time, so I have open availability to walk your pups. I am reliable and typically good on short notice. My M-F schedule slightly differs day to day, but availability is generally 8a-11a and 2p-8p. I am a cat mom, however always grew up with dogs. I have two cats who are endlessly spoiled, which I learned from our spoiled dogs growing up.

About: Cat person for life. I currently have four, as well as an Australian shepherd. I used to travel a lot for work, so I understand how stressful it can be making sure the four legged babies have everything they need when away. I’m here to help any way I can, whether it’s giving a medication or helping with the potty stuff! I recently left a demanding corporate job and currently am very flexible - morning, evening, during the week or on the weekend! **Due to several issues with owners not being on time for drop off or pick up, I want to add that when accepting a booking, the time is very important as well as the day as other appointments may be on my schedule that day. It is very important that the drop off and pick up times selected are accurate for smooth transitions.** I would care for the pet as instructed by the owner. I understand all animals have their own personality and preferences and their owners know best. I also want the owners to feel comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands while they are away!

About: I’m easy to talk to and flexible with my availability. I understand life happens and you may need care suddenly or cancel care unexpectedly. I can walk and feed 2-3 times/day. I have experience administering medicine to senior and puppy dogs. I have been a dog owner to a corgi who lived a happy 16 years and more recently to a pitbull mix puppy. I can handle various food preparations, energy levels and routines. Since moving to Michigan, I have 5 years experience dog sitting for 4 families in Traverse City during holiday breaks, weekend overnights, and unexpected potty breaks. I keep houses very clean and tidy anytime I stay overnight. I send daily pics of their animals, communicate clearly everyday that I spend with their fur babies, and respond quickly. I have a degree in Sociology, Multiple subjects K-8 Teaching credential from California and Michigan, 12 units of art from community colleges, and 20 years experience working with children and animals. I used to only be available for holiday breaks and weekends while teaching but I have recently been open to anytime to set my own schedule. Since I do have a puppy, I would ideally have a set weekly or daily routine with you so I could take care of my dog in between. I am open to what your needs would be first. I can crate train, feed, walk, replenish water, play, socialize, train with treats and administer medicine when needed in your home. My apartment building only allows my pet so I can't offer boarding at the moment.

About: I worked with Gentle Hearts Pet Sitting and Dog Walking in the Highland and Denver area for a year. I have about 20 years of personal pet care experience. Neighbors, family members, and friends have relied on my for pet care. I have had experience with all kinds of domestic animals of various sizes. Daily I care for my own cat and several times a week I pet sit, including exercising and walking a friend's dog. Occasionally I will help care for a domestic chinchilla. I care for my client's pets as if they were my own, whether their home or mine. Feeding, watering, exercising, playing, calming, and cuddling are all examples of how I would care for my client's pets.

“Tabitha is been walking my 85 year old mother's labradoodle for about a month. Tabitha has been very kind to my mother and has taken great care of Cocoa. I always get updates about their walks and what business Cocoa has done. Tabitha has also been very dependable through the sub-zero weather we have had this winter. She always shows up with a smile and is happy to be there.”
