Dog Walking in West Douglas, Kalamazoo, MI

“She was amazing! Was able to take us on short notice, loved and played with our dog like we would. She is very communicative, and even gave our cat some love (which was not part of our request). Highly recommend and will be using her again!”

“Jess was great! Always communicated with me and gave good notes so I was aware of everything that happened during the visit. I knew my baby was in good hands. I would recommend to anyone and love to book her again!”

About: I’ve had several years of experience with pets of all different kinds. I used to work for a professional pet sitting company, a dog day care, and currently work at a vet clinic. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, shy dogs, and hyperarousal behavior. I am currently working full time at a local veterinary clinic, and I am pet sitting part time on my days off! I am available on Friday's, some Tuesday's, and some weekends. I do not offer services in my own home as I have two dogs of my own, however I do drop in visits/walks at your home!

“I had a great experience with Jaime! She was quick to respond and worked with me to find a time that suited both our schedules. She arrived on time, was incredibly sweet with my dog, and really took the time to connect with her. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure all of her needs were met. I would definitely recommend her and will continue to use her services moving forward!”

“Madelyn had been walking our dog during the week for the past couple of weeks and we honestly could not be happier!! She communicates beforehand to verify the schedule each week. She is consistent - picks up our dog for a walk same time each day! She provides us with pictures and updates on how the walk went. Our dog Emma can be a little extra (German Shepherd energy) and Madelyn is great with her! We are so thankful we found Madelyn!”

“An absolute wonderful person to watch after your pet! She was so loving toward Charlie and he had an absolutely blast with her while I was out of town. Big thanks to Theresa!”

About: I've loved animals my whole life. I have a lizard which I love dearly, and I grew up with a variety of family pets but I haven’t had a chance to get one on my own. I volunteer to watch my friends and families pets for multiple years, just starting to do it professionally! I hope to utilize this opportunity to get my animal fix while incorporating some exercise! I have experience with senior cats, dogs, including dogs with behavioral issues, as well as lizards, hamsters and the occasional bird or fish. I work another full time job that is a fixed schedule Monday through Friday, so l am capable of working regular hours for your and your pets! This will be a top priority and I am so excited to care for your pet and meet new animal lovers! I have house-sit for multiple friends and family members and I make sure to leave the house as I found it and make sure to abide and respect any house rules!

About: 🦴 hii, i’m jo (they/them)! i like being playful, hiking, and adventure. 🐶 i’m obsessed with dogs and have been caring for them for 15+ years. i have really great boundaries, which i think is crucial in the care i can offer your dog/s. i also match their energy, from snoozers 💤 to zoomers 🎾 i’m able to accomidate dogs that require higher levels of attention, take them on extensive walks (15-30 mins) based on request and mobile ability, and am comfortable adminstering oral and topical medication. i know how stressful it can be to find a purrfect friend for your companion, so please feel free to ask questions before booking! if there’s any special accommodations i can try my best to meet them! i also take covid precautions:) my routine is very flexible, as i naturally prioritize pet care, just as much as my own:) depending on the day, i’m available for quick afternoon visits, setting aside multiple hours, as well as overnight sitting. establishing a trusting relationship is very important to me, whether that be with you or your dog/s. i’m dedicated to finding methods that work best for each individual needs. for example, i can walk your dogs leashed or let them freely wander fenced in yards. please don’t hesitate to communicate thorough desires/accommodations!

About: Hi, I’m Arantza! 🐾 I’ll care for your pets with the same love and attention I give to my two cats and my little dog. I know pets are more than just animals—they’re family and loyal companions who bring us joy every day. With me, your furry friends will be safe, happy, and surrounded by lots of affection. I have free time to help you so that your pet is not alone while you work or study, happy to help. I am currently studying Illustration at KVCC I care for my pets by making sure they have everything they need to feel safe, healthy, and happy. 🐾 I keep them on a regular feeding schedule, make sure they always have fresh water, and give them plenty of playtime and exercise. I also pay attention to their behavior and needs—whether they want cuddles, quiet time, or a walk outside.

“Lynn was fantastic. She put our dogs at ease right away during the meet and greet. She had great communication. We will definitely be using her a lot more for our pups!”

About: Since I was a young girl, I have always had family pets who have quickly become my best friends. I just spent three months back home in FL taking care of my family pup while my parents were away, so with my recent move I am missing him extra :( I have always cared for him whether that be dog sitting while my parents are away, walking & feeding him, or even just cuddling on the couch. I am a sensitive and caring individual and have a sweet spot for dogs, treating each as if they are my own. I am an avid animal lover and fall in love with every dog I meet. Since I do not currently have my own dog, I am always looking to spend time with friends and families pups. As your care provider, I can promise daily updates including photos, calm and patience with dogs of all ages, playtime and exercise, flexible scheduling, overnight stays, and most importantly love and attention to your prized pups. Having recently graduated college and graduate school, I just moved to the city and am currently searching for job opportunities so I have lots of free time on my hands and LOVE doggies! I have lots of experience caring for my own families dogs, along with other friends and families companions. I will ensure your pets are happy and loved as I spend time with them. I also will make sure your home is secured and the safety of your pets is my number one priority while I care for them!

About: I've taken care of many different types of animals. From bearded dragons to dogs and cats, there isn't anything I can't handle. I've been taking care my dogs from puppies to seniors since I was little. I love every single animal as if they were my own. I'm a rising freshman headed to Kalamazoo College currently looking for work over the summer. I have tons of time to take care of your pets and I know I will love doing it too! I have the whole summer to focus on making sure your animals are well taken care of and doing well. I have a large yard at home ( 2 acres) for your pet to play in. I also have lots of experience walking dogs from my own to friends who needed help when they were gone. There is no fence around my yard but a lead can be used if necessary. Almost anything your pet needs I can provide.

About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. My dad used to help help run a rescue for several years, and we had many dogs of varying breeds and ages in our home. I currently have one dog named Alvin who was born in 2022. He is a yellow lab with a lot of energy! I am venturing into the working world, and this is my only role. My availability is wide open and I'm willing to help when needed! I have a small fenced in area under our deck where my dog relieves himself. I go for walks and there is a dog park very close to the house. My dog has extreme crate anxiety, so he isn't created. I am comfortable helping to ensure your pet is created as necessary.

About: My family and friends trust me to watch their animals for extended periods of time. I have experience in dog and cat sitting, as well as administering oral medications. I've been around dogs and cats my entire life. I'm somewhat of a cat doula, after witnessing and aiding the birth of several litters. I love to take walks and be outdoors. I have class from 2-5 on M/W, and 11-2 on TH. Full flexibility during weekends. I need to be back on campus an hour before any class, and I need an hour to get to you after class. I keep homes tidy and tread only where allowed. I'm willing to do small chores and adhere to any rules or rituals your pet is accustomed to. I'm a "pet first" kind of sitter, I won't provoke your little friend. I take time to establish trust and give them space.

“I am so thankful for Wesley! I injured my knee and haven’t been able to walk my dog. I could tell she was getting depressed. Then I found Wesley and he is really nice and so good with my dog. Now when Wesley comes to take her for a walk she is so happy and excited!! I am happy for her :) Thank you Wesley!!”
