Dog Walkers in Vernon, MI

About: My home is an Arbnb for dogs! I started training career service dogs when I was 12 years old. Now I like to use those skills to provide a safe vacation for dogs... Here is a look at your dogs stay with me.. During your dog stay they have the option to enjoy some special services that ARE included with their stay. I offer Spaw services such as massage and yoga, Paw Pedicure.. I do not trim nails but I clean the paws & offer a coconut oil rub on their paw pads. Every day activities include daily walk, cuddles, one on one time , rest times & playtimes. I also provide light training techniques such as eye contact & positive responses. Each day of your dog's day there will be an additional daily activity such as Dog friendly food sampling on days I make homemade dog treats. Stuffed bones & bonfire night, pup cups & a movie, evening glow walk & glow ball, & doggy yoga & streches. When boarding dogs I take in consideration breeds, personalities, age & special needs. I provide shorter walks and shorter play times with older or special need dogs. I am very experienced with administrating meds for dogs as well as geriatric dogs. I do have talking dog buttons & have them accessible to the dogs to use for communication. Any special needs or accommodation you need I am willing to provide! I am taking boarding, drop in visits, and other pet services. I have a fenced in backyard. Daily walks and play times are scheduled throughout their stay. I view dog boarding as a doggy ARB & B. They are on vacation too. 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, and shade in the backyard.

About: I grew up and still live on a farm. I have kept dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, rabbits, etc. throughout my life. I will care for your animals as if they were my own. I work from home and know how frustrating it can be to worry about your pets while on vacation. I will send photos and videos of your fur family while you're away so you can stay in touch while you're away. My preference is to care for your fur family in a comfortable environment, their normal home. I am happy to host your fur family in my home, but I already have 2 small dogs, so I think they would be more comfortable if I came to them.

“Thank you for taking good care of Willy Nelson I really appreciate it!! It makes it stress free to know he is being taken care of while my husband and I are at work.”

About: Ever since I was little, I have had pets to take care of! My husband and I currently two labradoodles that are both 2 years old! My schedule is very flexible and so I can dedicate time to being there for your pups throughout the day whether it’s walking, playing fetch or belly rubs! I have a fenced in yard and two loveable and playful labradoodles to keep your dog company! We have two large crates if needed that our dogs don’t use anymore if needed during their stay.

“Makayla did not hesitate to take care of our snoopy. She did a great job both walking and house sitting. We will never hesitate to book Makayla again.”

About: I was a pre-vet student for 2.5 years before deciding to switch to humans. I had dogs from birth until I was 17 when my family dog passed away. I currently own 3 cats and 2 chinchillas! I grew up with a Husky, German Shepherd, and Collie so I am super comfortable with big dogs! I live in a smaller apartment so for me to own/host a dog would be unfair to the dog, but I would love to be able to walk/run and play with dogs of all sizes. I grew up with a dog who was on medication and special food so I am good with handling restricted diets, restricted activities, nail trimmings, and giving any kind of medications. I am currently free any day of the week due to being in maternity leave until September when I return to work part time as a nurse. I follow the rules the owner informed me of. If they require special care I will provide that care. Will keep the secure on leash/harness and keep an eye on them when outside. I leave your home as if I was never there so you don’t come back to any type of mess. I typically bring all of my own food and toiletries.

About: I'm a caring dog owner and have my own hobby farm. I love all kinds of animals but dogs hold a special place in my heart! My husband and I have 11 acres & the dogs love going on walks through the trails and seeing the farm animals along the way. I am attentive to each animals individual needs and love the affection dogs give. I have experience walking many breeds of dogs and have reliable transportation to get to your home on time for potty breaks. I know how much our dogs need human interaction and I think I enjoy play time as much as they do! You can trust me to give your pup the best care possible, whether at your home or mine. Thanks for taking the time to check me out! God bless you! I’m currently working part time so I have lots of time to care for your pet! I’m also very active and love to take the dogs for walks! I have 11 acres and trails to keep your dog active! I also have my own dog who, although older, turns into a puppy when other dogs are around and loves to play.

About: Hi! My goal is to make sure your pet is safe and comfortable while getting the best form of care I can provide. Growing up with animals, especially dogs, has taught how to be a patient and caring person. I’ve built a relationship with my own dog off of trust and want to do the same while caring for your pupper! I’m a focused and detail oriented person and will work to ensure all your specific needs are met. Currently I’m working part time, so I have a flexible and pretty open schedule to take care of your pets. I’m also good with last minute changes and can easily switch around my schedule for what works best for you! I live in a small town with plenty of areas to walk dogs and I also have a fenced in back yard. I have one dog and two cats that do well around other animals, as well as a trustworthy vehicle to take me to your location.

About: From early on in life I have always been an animal lover. I was the one bringing home injured birds and stray dogs/cats when I was a kid. My mom was supportive of that passion and helped me help so many animals over the years. I have personally only adopted animals from rescues and my current dog is a rescue. I volunteer time to local rescues and bring supplies to local shelters. I care for neighbors animals and homes when they go out of town. I am always very nervous about new people around my animal and home, so I always make sure to treat clients like how I would want to be treated. I really enjoy giving people one less thing to worry about. I am openly available. Besides the occasional errand, I am always home, so nobody will be left home alone! We are up with the sun and stay up late! We are on 9 acres with river access, a quiet country road and plenty of places to lounge or run! It is not fenced in.

About: I’ve taken care of big, small and medium dogs of all different breeds for three years. I’ve even cared for cats as well. My family has always ran to me with their animal needs and I have bathed, fed, walked and have had genuine play time with every single one of them. I currently work full-time but get home around 6 pm everyday. I can do nights and do not work weekends at all. I’ll have plenty of time for your pets! I will leave your dog/house looking better than when I arrived. I will go above and beyond for your fur babies as I have one of my own, and couldn’t imagine them not having the best care!

About: I would make a great sitter for you because I genuinely love spending time with all animals ,and I have a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. My passion for animals drives me to create a nurturing and safe environment for them, where they can feel comfortable and happy. I’m Working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time with your animals, but I do work so I would be gone for a couple hours. I’m pretty flexible with times. I also don’t work on holidays It's essential to conduct drop-ins on the dogs they care for to ensure their well-being and comfort. Regular visits play a crucial role in maintaining the dogs' daily routines, which can significantly reduce stress and anxiety for the animals.

About: Hello! I’m a passionate, aspiring dog trainer with a special love for German Shepherds. I recently raised a litter of puppies, which deepened my understanding of early puppy development and the importance of critical socialization. That experience sparked a stronger interest in training and caring for dogs during their most impressionable stages and beyond. I’m currently expanding my hands-on experience and would love the opportunity to care for your dog—whether it’s through boarding, walks, or helping with basic training and structure. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely dedicated to each dog’s unique needs. Whether you have a playful pup or a more mature dog, I’m here to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment. Let’s give your dog a happy, enriching experience! I’m currently doing pet care full time with aspirations of starting my very own dog training program one day. I’m soaking up all of the experience I can get right now. My backyard is secured by a 6ft wooden privacy fence and features a 900sqft barn which has multiple crates for dogs of all sizes. My house is dog friendly as well being completely puppy proofed.

About: I've had a dog for the past 5 years ( shiloh ) she's a German Shepard! She is wonderfully and well trained also is fixed. she does love to greet people so she might jump. I've also dog sat for many years as well and I worked for a dog company back in 2017 where I took care of daily task as well as medical needs when necessary, and worked along side pregnant and and birthing mothers. I have had a couple cats growing up, none to call my own though. So I am also acquainted with the care of cats and kittens as well as shiloh was raised around all types of animals and children of various ages so we are comfortable saying there should be no issues with her. However we can make other accommodation for her if you don't feel comfortable with another animal in the home. One final note I have 2 children a 1 year old and a 3 year old. I hope you enjoy my profile and to hear from you soon! I have a 5 year old German Shepard who lives full time with me and my children at home. I know how to give medication, shots aswell as cut nails and bathe but I do not feel comfortable trimming or giving the dogs a hair cut. I don't have a fence, i do have a little yard but I have harnesses and leads to walk and take the dogs out side to play. I do have a crate available if needed my dog is trained as well as crate trained. Shiloh ( my dog ) love the company of other fur babies to run around as play with. My two children are also in love with animals but I do have a vary large second living room and attached mud room that I can limit off for dog access if it would make having a dog stay here more comfortable due them not being used to children!

About: I’m a single mother of two, running and outdoors enthusiast, and lover of 4 legged friends. I live one mile from work and have a flexible schedule to be able to accommodate multiple quick trips home if needed. While working, your pet would never be alone more than 4 hours. In my home pets are allowed on the couch and in bed with me. I have a partially fenced back yard with room to run. I live in a neighborhood setting with sidewalks making walks ideal. I’m 5 minutes away from Owosso’s bark park. My two daughters love dogs as well and have grown up with dogs in the home. I look forward to the chance to get to know you and your dog. Thank you.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life, I worked in the vet field for over 4 years in various aspects, I currently am a Dog Bather at a local groomers. I currently have 2 dogs (one of which is in service training) and a cat, I used to have lots of reptiles as well! I'm never afraid of any dog and welcome them with open arms. I currently work part time Wednesday - Saturdays pretty consistently, but my days don't start until earliest 830am and I'm normally done between 4-5 (unless we have a late day scheduled). Sunday - Tuesdays are my off days outside of doctor appointments and any other extra curriculars I do ☺️ I do only offer in home services as my older dog is a bit of a rough player and my younger is in service training and I can't take the risk of him being injured. In you home, I will stay with you pet overnight if that is what makes you the most comfortable. They can sleep with me or be crated, whichever is preferred by you. Feeding will always be on schedule and meds can be administered as needed (I have a lot of experience keeping meds straight for my own dogs). A daily walk will happen (distance dependent on dog and weather) and we will play in the yard and enjoy lots of cuddles and belly rubs!! While I love spoiling my own babys, I'll make sure to keep everything as consistent as possible for you!

About: Hi, I’m Katie! I’ve been around dogs my entire life—26 years and counting—and I’ve had two of my own for the past 8 years. They’re energetic and full of personality, so I’m very comfortable with active pups who need extra attention, exercise, or playtime. Whether your dog is high-energy or more relaxed, I’m committed to providing safe, loving, and personalized care. I understand how important routines and trust are, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule. That means I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care—whenever your pet needs me. With no other job commitments right now, your dog gets my full attention, and I take that responsibility seriously. When caring for pets in your home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I’d want in return. I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, routines, crate use, or special care needs—and always keep things clean and safe for your pet. I keep a calm, consistent environment so your dog feels comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they get the playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles they need—and I’ll send regular updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.

About: I grew up in a family full of animals! Everything from dogs and cats to horses or reptiles. I’m currently raising my 3rd service dog through a guide dog organization, so I’m getting training experience through that as well. I’m a recent graduate from Michigan State University and I’m currently working a part time job. I have time throughout the week for drop in potty breaks or walks depending on the day, most weekends I’m free most of the day on the weekends. I have been offering a variety of levels of care for animals for several years, I have no problem giving any medications, specific schedules, going on as many frequent walks or potty breaks depending on what fits your furry friends the best. I love every one of my clients animals as much as I love my personal pets. I enjoy getting to know their personalities and how to help them best feel comfortable. I prefer to do a meet and greet before overnight visits so your furry friends will feel more comfortable with me in their space.

About: I’ve owned several different kinds of dogs from big to small. I have 9+ years of experience pet sitting for neighbors and relatives. I am studying Animal Science at Michigan State University because animals are my passion and this would be a great way to exercise my love for them and earn some extra money! I am willing to go above and beyond for your pet(s). I currently work an extremely flexible part time job at a golf course so I am extremely open with days and times needed for pet sitting. Pets are family, therefore they should be treated that way! Due to my extensive experience with a wide range of species of pets, I am extremely familiar with what it takes to keep pets safe and comfortable. I have taken college courses in animal behavior, therefore I am extremely familiar with reading an animal’s body language and interpreting that.

About: I have had a dog almost my entire life with short breaks in-between, I have always taken care of my animals and before I was old enough to pay I'd tag along for vet visits ! I've always been the person to call for animals in my family, most recently I've watched my neighbors cat upstairs for 4 days or I've watched my step sisters medium sized dog for her multiple weekend away trips and lastly of the more recent I house/dog sat for a close friend of mine for a week with her two dogs! I'm not shy with bigger dogs I had a Pitbull/Lab mix and I now have a German Shepherd who has allergies that we take care of! I'm currently working part time making donuts overnight so I would be able to stop by after my shift ends early morning (typically 6:30-7am), after I wake up (early afternoon so 2pm), then evenings before my shift(before/ around 8pm) ! I'm available most days besides Sunday/Mondays with give and take! I always make sure pets are fed on time, they're taken out multiple times a day, even taken on walks when needed and of course playtime! I also do not mind having to give animals their oral meds or maybe some cream on the skin or medicine baths!
