Dog Walkers in Union, MI

About: There has never been a time in my life where I was not a doting caregiver for at least one dog in my home. I am proficient in any tasks included in caring for any canine! This includes poop scooping, accident clean-up, brushing, adhering to feeding and walking schedules, and more. I am also open to, and comfortable with, medical situations such as administering medications or accommodating the needs of a disabled/older dog. Above all else, I challenge myself always to allow dogs, and all animals, to find a space of comfort around me. I volunteer several times a week caring for dogs at local animal shelter, and I will soon be seeking employment there. This opportunity has allowed me to gain experience being comfortable with dogs of varying sizes and temperaments on walks and maintenance. I'm currently home from college for the summer, and right now work part-time in pharmacy, and part-time at the animal shelter while making time for Rover bookings. With that being said, my schedule is pretty flexible! Both my workplaces are very understanding that my schedule can be odd and adjustments can and will be made to provide the best care possible for your pet(s). Due to the presence of one dog who does not like strangers at my home, I only offer dog walks and drop-ins currently! I have worked in a variety of home environments and am willing to work in any situation. My phone is on at all times for owner concerns, and I am willing to send pictures of the animal at request! I strictly follow rules and guidelines pertaining to animal care, and aim to make it a comfortable and positive space for me, the animal(s) and the owner at all times.

“Nikki’s genuine passion for animals is evident in my dog’s reaction every time they see her. Just the simple act of coming to the house to get them makes them ecstatic. They can hear a car as soon as it enters our driveway, and when they see her car, they start barking and howling and wanting their leash on. Just the little bit of time she spends with them has really changed their activity level at home. Nikki is their new friend and they love her so much.”

About: Ive taken care of cats and dogs for friends and family for 9 years and currently have 5 of my own! Three of which since they were babies and two rescues! I currently work 5 days a week, but my hours vary and can work around whatever you may need! For at stays at my house, my fiance is usually home when I am not! I have a fenced yard and plenty of open space inside as well. All of my animals have been socialized their whole lives and love meeting new friends!

“Irene is a good communicator and is flexible. She walked my dog the day after I booked her and I appreciated her for doing it on short notice. She clearly loves dogs and is looking to pursue a career working with them. She is patient and kind and I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”

About: Ever since I was 9, I have taken care of dogs and cats from ranches to homes, and from walks to simple home care visits. I and currently PRN and going to school during the week days, with the PRN my availability may vary but more than likely I am available. My classes are only in the mornings with only one being in the afternoon, which gives me plenty of time with your furry babies. I am a great problem solver and will always work in the best interest of your pet. If I am unsure about anything that can possibly hinder your pet's safety I will always ask you. I want your babies safe and you stress and worry free.

“Thank you!”

About: I love both dogs and cats. I have 3 cats of my own whom I love very much. I’m happy to help with your pets! Book with me and you’ll be happy you did!! I’m currently working as a in person home care aide. My schedule is usually always different but I have a lot of open availability and plenty of time for your pets! I’m also enrolled at SMC to get my associates in social work. I am happy to spend time with your pets anytime I’m available !! I have many days off where I would be available all day. I have a 3 cat household. Reliable transportation to get to your pet and room at my place for any overnight stays. No fence but leashes work.

About: I've lived around dogs for most my life, with a range of sizes and needs. From small Pugs who snore the night away to Great Danes who think they are still a puppy. Have a high energy pupper who needs someone to keep up no worries. Currently I work part time until August 19th when I go back to the classroom. But until that time I'm mostly available all week long. I'm mostly looking at doing walks and check ins at this time as I have a number of home projects that would make boarding difficult.

“Victoria was so attentive to my puppy and provided a BUNCH of pictures and updates. I was very nervous leaving my puppy with someone new for the first time, but Victoria was understanding and made it as smooth as possible. Jasper was in a great mood and slept really well that night after we got home. Will definitely be rebooking with her for regular walks.”

About: I love dogs and cats-my two pets are just like children. I have always had a pet and I enjoy wet dog noses, puppy breath, and kitty purrs! I will treat your fur-babies just like family and make sure they are happy and cared for. I am reliable, responsible, and trustworthy, and I keep a very organized schedule. I took a long break from Rover due to training and activities with my own dog, COVID shutdowns making everything difficult, etc. I will be offering services during the times of early mornings, evenings and weekends as I do work a full-time job during the weekdays (during the day). I can provide trusted care for your pets-dogs on a leash, monitored playtime, and poop pickup for dog potty. If a pet has pottied or jumped water/food I can clean that up also.

About: Now in Elkhart, IN! I first started out in the dog world working in doggy daycares. I started to realize there’s a huge amount of wonderful dogs missing out on fun simply because they don’t fit daycare or dog park standards. I was watching dogs get turned away for creating problems out of boredom or stress due to the chaotic environment. I saw owners leaving confused and dogs leaving misunderstood and even labeled. Every dog deserves to be out and about! That’s when I started my own walking/exercise business out of St. Charles MO. Six years later and we’ve had a BLAST! I provide customized outings that cater to your dog and what they love most. Outings build confidence, burn energy, enforce good behavior and teach new skills. We explore a variety of activities like biking, hiking, swimming, dry land mushing and frisbee. We have fun with strengths and work on weaknesses. I am looking forward to bringing the fun to the dogs of IN! 2 hour field trips are available at $50/outing I offer three different services: neighborhood walk, field trip and day care - on the go! Neighborhood Walks consist of exploring anywhere within walking distance of your home. They can be booked for 30mins - 1.5 hr. Field Trips allow for more exploring, more exposure training and more intense exercise. We will drive to a park away from home. These outings are 2hrs. $50 first dog; $35 each additional Daycare -on the go! is the full package. We go all over! This is a 5hr day from time of pickup to drop off. Daycare - on the go! is a group outing where your dog will meet and build a relationship with two - three other day camp dogs. They spend the day together as a group hiking, swimming, biking, exploring, playing and training! My daycare dogs have more park patches than most people! Solo daycare options are available as well in case your dog does not particularly enjoy other four legged friends. $80/dog I have been so incredibly lucky to run my dog Field Trip and Daycare - on the go! business for the past six years successfully and safely in MO.

About: I grew up on a farm and I was the one responsible for feeding, walking and the safety of the animals. Trained puppies of all breeds. I have previous vet assistant experience. I have experience with grooming long haired breeds and administering medicine. I check daily temps outside to make sure pets don’t get too hot on walks. I have experience in noticing signs of bloat and know how to intervene. I will always let you know the minute your pet seems a bit “off”. I lost both of my Golden Retrievers due to age and now I fill my home with helping others and their pets which shines light into my life! I am currently working but my work is really flexible with my schedule. If I pet sit your dog or cat, they come first always. I have a fenced in yard and a river walk near by for daily exercise. I am used to medicine routines for cats/dogs as well. My pets have always been on flea meds and UTD.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life. I grew up with two beautiful Huskies who were part of my family throughout my childhood. Caring for them taught me responsibility, patience, and how to truly connect with animals. Since then, I’ve had experience dog sitting for others, providing love, attention, and dependable care to pets of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply spending quality time, I treat every dog like my own. Im currently on vacations and have everyday free. I want to have a summer job while I have fun and this is the best way I can think of. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment, whether it’s their home or mine. I follow routines closely, keep areas clean, and never leave pets unattended. Building trust is key. I give them the love, attention, and structure they need to feel secure

About: I managed a pet store for 7 years. Handling dogs helping a groomer. I checked them in for appointments and checked them out for pick ups. Depends on what is needed. I work part time. I also work around my bookings. I’m very flexible. When I dog sit I make it all about the dog and treat them as if they are children. I prefer your home. I care for them by whatever directions or schedule you prefer if there on a routine or not. I love your dogs as if they were mine.

About: I am a senior at 65 years old who is available for different time frames to assist you with your pet care needs, dependable, responsible. I can do visitations for your Dogs n Cats, no overnight stays or in house sitting. Thank You~! Currently, at home I take care of my 2 adults cats and one kitten now 10 mths old. Spoiled, very well loved, and cared for. I was a prior dog owner over 65 years of 3 dogs who lived long healthy lives. My cats are indoors, they have a rolling pet crate/pen used outside at times when weather permits. I live rural so its not safe for them to be indoor/outdoor cats. I had dogs all of my life and 3 dogs who were my babies for very long time. A lab for 16 years. A bassador for 13 years. And as a child 4 different dogs. All were well cared for even when having to move to an apartment after a divorce my dogs were often sent to doggie day care and also we visited pet parks as frequently as possible.

About: Hi there!! I love both dogs and cats, and look forward to taking care of them. I've had many pets growing up. Habló Español también. As of right now I am available and flexible on time as school is out. I have been trying to find a second job, and would much rather prefer this to be my 2nd job as I enjoy going on runs with my dog and hanging out with my furbabies (I also have 2 cats). Why not make money while having fun and meeting new furbabies? I live near downtown Elkhart (heading towards Bristol). I live in a very safe and quiet neighborhood where there is plenty of space to walk, run, and enjoy a large field of grass (if allowed to be off leash).

About: I am a Registered Nurse. I am finding a lot of free time on my hands and would love to give your pet(s) extra attention throughout the day. I have one dog of my own, she is a GSP and her name is Frankie. I usually only work three days/week. Other than that, I'm usually hanging out with my dog! Safety is my number one priority. Unless the yard is fenced, I will have the dog(s) on a leash. If a dog is crated, their collar will come off once in the crate. I will always be supervising play time. I have one very energetic dog, she usually wakes me up. We immediately go outside to go potty then we eat breakfast! She usually follows me wherever I go. She’s my best friend. Safety is my number one priority. Collars come off in the crate. Always leashed outside. Nothing dangerous is left lying around the house. At least 30 minutes of chill time after eating. Etc.

About: I have been a pet owner and animal lover all my life. In High School, I worked at a veterinary clinic taking care of all the animals in the kennels. I enjoy house sitting for people and spoiling their fur babies! I am a writer & illustrator, so my schedule is very flexible. Loving on animals is a part of my everyday life. You can count on me to take care of your home and pets as if they were my own. I will drive to your home and take care of your pet(s) according to your instructions. I have experience caring for senior pets (cats and dogs) that require medication. So, you can depend on me and have peace of mind, while you are away!

About: I’ve been around and taken care of animals since I was 8 years old! I grew up with as many as 4 dogs and 5 cats at once! I’m a preschool teacher looking to have a fun side gig; taking care of your pet would make my week so much more fun. Hope to hear from you soon! I have 3 cats in my apartment currently and they are all my little babies! They will sometimes get to go out on balcony with supervision and one of our cats likes to go outside for walks!

About: I’ve always been around animals, and my family has owned several pets since I was around 12; everything from german shepherds to frogs and fishes. I’ve helped train, care for, and love all of our animals. I know what it takes to discipline, but also care for pets, while creating an environment that your animal is comfortable in. My outside experience mostly includes dog sitting for friends and neighbors, though I do not discriminate when it comes to any 4-legged furry friend! I currently work part-time nights and am in nursing school. This allows me to have most weekends off, a couple of days off during the week, and most nights. Creating safety and trust with animals is always key. With new animals, I’m always sure to let them sniff me out and feel the vibes before we move along with anything else. I am able to supply treats, leashes, or garbage backs if needed when walking dogs.
