Dog Sitting Walled Lake

About: I have been a dog owner for a majority of my life and I have done what ever is needed to take care of them. I will feed, play, bathe, walk, give medicine, and take outside to potty. Essentially whatever is asked for me I will do. I currently volunteer with therapy dogs in a hospital and I love it! Would love to bring my skills and passion to animal owners every where. I do work full time however, weekends I am free including Friday evening and I know that may be hard to get as people travel on the weekend. I live in a safe and dog friendly neighborhood! I have a big home they can explore in. I truly watch the animals as when they move I move.

About: Hi, im Winnie! I’m so excited to meet your furry family members. I’ve been a devoted dog and cat lover my entire life and truly believe our pets deserve all the love, kindness, patience, and respect we can give them. I’ve personally cared for my own dogs from the time they were puppies through adulthood, and I’ve also pet sat for friends and clients, treating every pet like they’re one of my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing outside, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care at home. I have a fully fenced 1-acre yard where dogs can safely run and play, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m also a Registered Occupational Therapist and a proud University of Michigan graduate—Go Blue! My healthcare background has taught me to be dependable, detail-oriented, and attentive to each individual’s unique needs. I can’t wait to get to know you and your pet, and I’ll care for them with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work part-time, with Fri-Sun weekends, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care, whether that’s morning walks, midday potty breaks, playtime, or overnight stays. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so daily walks and exercise are something I genuinely look forward to. Caring for animals has always been a rewarding part of my life, and I love making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. Your pet will be staying in a safe, loving, and spacious home with plenty of room to relax and play. Our home has wood floors throughout and a private room available if your pet would ever need a quiet space to decompress or feel more comfortable. Outside, we have a fully fenced 1-acre yard where dogs can safely run, explore, and play. We also live in a quiet, safe, and walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for daily walks and outdoor adventures. Your pet will be welcomed by a home full of caring adults who genuinely love animals.

“Maura was wonderful! Reliable, great communication, and Stormy was in great hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I love working with dogs, they bring happiness to my life! I have 2 dogs on my own that I walk every day. I pay very close attention to my dogs when I am walking them. I treat them as I would my own children. My house is dog safe because my own fur babies love to get into things they shouldn't, which has improved my techniques as an owner. As a dog loving house, there are treats and food available always. I am a big believer in fresh water daily for my pets. I have been around dogs since I was little, I love to care for them and know how read their body language. I started pet sitting for my family and friends. I have a fenced house where dogs can play safely. In my house dogs can be on the couch. I will spend time playing and caring for your dog or cat as well as walking with them.

About: Growing up i’ve always had / fostered dogs and been passionate for animals. Additionally, I have experience working at a pet store. I would love to take my love for dogs and cats and turn it into something I can help others with. I am currently attending college as a commuter but have a pretty open schedule. I am open to nightly stays or just visits and playtime with your pup or cat! I will always keep watch and make sure the dogs are satisfied. If needed I can bathe and walk them, i’ll do whatever it takes so you know they’re in good hands.

“Thanks for taking great care of Skeeter! He loved hanging with you.”

“Charles went above and beyond to make sure that our fur babies were well loved and taken care of, spending extra time with them and coming up with creative ways to keep them comfortable while we were away. My dog has anxiety and he was so good with her, I knew I didn't have to worry because both my dog and cat were in amazing hands! He made sure to keep up with cleaning any messes along the way, and overall was very attentive. We will absolutely be using Charles as our pet sitter in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have been caring for them my whole life. I regularly pet sit for my brother’s three dogs regularly, giving me hands on experience with different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also walked and cared for friends and neighbors dogs, and my experience with shy or anxious animals means I know how to help every dog feel safe and comfortable. On top of that, I have animal nutrition education and pet care first aid & CPR training, so you can trust your dog is in knowledgeable, loving hands. I run my own cat food business and go to the gym daily, which gives me a consistent routine while still allowing me to provide dedicated care for pets. I schedule walks, playtime, and visits around my day so your pets always get reliable attention, exercise, and love. Whether it’s a mid day walk, a drop in, or an overnight stay, I make sure every animal in my care feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I do not host pets at my home, but I am happy to provide overnight stays at your home, where your pet can stay in a familiar, stress free environment.

About: Ive taken care of animals ever since I was a little girl, now I have two of my own. I am currently a stay at home mom to a wonderful 15 month old little boy who just adores his furry brothers. Now that the weather is more ideal and my little one is getting bigger I’d like to start helping families in need again. I have a wonderful 6 year old Great Dane and a 3 year golden retriever. I also have a 15 month old son so ALL I ask is your pets are good with other dogs and children. We have a nice fenced in back yard, and I’ll be home all day with them. I can stop by for a few dog walks a day, please keep in mind my child will be with me so I ask your dog is child friendly and okay with strollers!

About: I have taken care of all different kinds of dogs and cats since I was young. I volunteered at an animal shelter for one year in Denver and supported the shelter with socializing recently rescued stray cats. I helped manage the health needs of both my senior dog and cat when they got older. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to care for their furry friends! I recently moved back to Michigan, and I’m taking some time off from my typical job as a social worker. During this time, I am at home full-time and available during the weekdays and on weekends to help care for your pets. I will be sure to keep them safe and to follow the owner’s instructions as carefully as possible. I will be attentive to the pet’s needs and will be sure to leave the space clean. I am also not afraid to ask for help, so I will reach out to the owner if I’m unsure of anything!

“Carly was AWESOME! She is so kind, caring, gentle, and sweet. She loved on my Lucy while I was away and always remembered to send multiple photos of her a day. I will recommend her to all of my friends and I will for sure hire her again soon. She is the best!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for many years including child care at a young age, being there for an animal, child or human is my nature - it comes naturally! I have many skills but pet and child care is just who I am I would not consider it a skill :). Integrating Pet Care into My Daily Routine Caring for my pets is not just a responsibility; it’s a fulfilling part of my daily life that enriches my routine in numerous ways. Here’s how I seamlessly integrate pet care into my day: - Morning Routine Early Start: My day begins with a morning walk, allowing my dogs to stretch their legs and enjoy the fresh air. This not only keeps them healthy but also sets a positive tone for the day. Feeding Time: After our walk, I prepare nutritious meals tailored to each pet's dietary needs, ensuring they start their day with the right fuel. - Midday Check-Ins Playtime: If I’m home, I take breaks to engage in play sessions with my pets, providing them with mental stimulation and strengthening our bond. Quality Time: Whether it’s a quick cuddle or a game of fetch, these moments are vital for their emotional well-being and my own. - Evening Routine Family Time: In the evenings, my pets are an integral part of family activities. They join us for relaxation, watching TV, or even participating in quiet reading time, creating a sense of togetherness. Nightly Walks: Before bedtime, I make sure to take my dogs out for another walk, allowing them to unwind and enjoy the night air. Flexibility and Adaptation Adaptable Schedule: My routine is flexible enough to accommodate any special needs or unexpected situations, such as vet visits or grooming appointments, ensuring my pets receive the best care possible. Continuous Learning Ongoing Education: I dedicate time to learning about pet care, attending workshops, or reading articles to enhance my knowledge and stay updated on best practices. Incorporating pet care into my daily routine not only ensures my pets are happy and healthy but also brings immense joy and fulfillment to my life. Their companionship and the love we share motivate me to prioritize their needs, making every day a rewarding experience. Caring for pets, whether in my home or my client's homes, involves a comprehensive approach that prioritizes their well-being, safety, and happiness. Here’s how I ensure exceptional care: In My Home 1. Safe Environment: - I maintain a pet-friendly space, free from hazards such as toxic plants, chemicals, or small objects that could be ingested. - Designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playing are established to create a sense of security. 2. Routine Care: - Daily feeding schedules are adhered to, with meals tailored to meet the nutritional needs of each pet. - Regular grooming sessions help maintain their hygiene and comfort, including brushing, bathing, and nail trimming. 3. Exercise and Enrichment: - I provide ample opportunities for physical activity through walks, playtime, and interactive toys to keep pets engaged and healthy. - Mental stimulation is encouraged through puzzle toys and training sessions, fostering a strong bond and enhancing their skills. 4. Health Monitoring: - I keep a close eye on their behavior and health, noting any changes that may require veterinary attention. - Regular vet visits are scheduled for vaccinations, check-ups, and preventive care. In Client's Homes Personalized Care Plans: - Each pet receives a tailored care plan based on their specific needs, preferences, and routines as discussed with the owner. - I ensure that I follow the owner’s guidelines closely, maintaining consistency in care. Daily Routine Maintenance: - I replicate the pet's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, exercise, and playtime, to minimize stress during the owner's absence. - I provide regular updates to pet owners, sharing photos and notes about their pet's behavior and activities. Safety Precautions: - I ensure that the home environment is secure, checking for any potential hazards and keeping doors and gates closed. - Emergency contacts, including the owner’s vet, are kept handy in case of unforeseen situations. Companionship and Attention: - I dedicate quality time to each pet, providing companionship and attention to alleviate any feelings of loneliness. - Engaging in activities that the pet enjoys helps maintain their happiness and well-being. Post-Care Clean-Up: - After each care session, I ensure the home is tidy, cleaning up any pet-related messes and leaving the space as I found it.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and truly understand the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for them. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra love and patience, I’ve had hands-on experience at every stage of a pet’s life. I also worked at a dog daycare for over a year, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—managing group play, feeding schedules, and basic training reinforcement. I bring a calm, attentive, and nurturing approach to every pet I care for, and I treat them like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to provide dependable and compassionate care. I currently am in school doing my full-time clinical rotations for occupational therapy. I will have weekends, afternoons, and early mornings available to care for your fur babies! I have a fenced in yard and a 1.5 year old doodle who loves to play! I also have 2 young kittens not even a year old yet who get along with my dog very well. I love all pets and will be so happy to spend time with each and every one of your pets!!

About: I’m majoring in business and I own a long haired chihuahua. I’ve cared for neighbor’s and family’s dogs in the past by walking and dog sitting. I’m on a very flexible schedule, so most times during week days I will be able to walk your dog! I’m excited to take them on walks :) For dog walking, I like to make sure we walk in areas with sidewalks that are safe. I’d bring water to keep your dog hydrated, especially if it is warm out!

“Christina was super to work with and Sadie took to her right away!”
