About: I completed the Dog Walking Academy in November 2018, provided by TipTopTails Training in Kalamazoo. Also completed Pet Tech CPR, First Aid and Care in November 2018. Having recently retired from WMU, I am looking forward to spending time with your dog(s) or cat(s) and earning some extra income. I have been a dog owner all of my life, my husband and I currently have one American Staffordshire Terrier rescue named Mazzie who is three years old. I am available to come to your home to visit with and care for your pets, I am not able to house your animals at my home during the day or overnight. Eventually, these services may also be available. I have experience with dogs who need daily medications (insulin, seizure meds) or those with chronic issues. I am available to care for your pet(s) in your home while you are away for the day or on vacation. I am retired from WMU and have fairly open days and evenings. I am not able to do overnights at this time. I have had many dogs and right now we have adopted a new rescue dog, a Staffordshire terrier who is about 3 years old. For that reason, I do not bring your animals to my home, I come to you.

“Reliable and professional.”

“Jess stands out as the biggest, most compassionate animal lover I've ever known. She has a heart for all living creatures and treats them with kindness and respect. She did a wonderful job with our pups! They had a great time with Jess!”

“McKenzie has a true heart for animals. I think she’d have them all live with her if she could. Our dog is a bit aggressive and she handles him just fine. She just pours out so much love on animals. Your pets will be in great hands if she takes care of them for you. She is respectful and trustworthy.”

About: I've had different kinds of pets since I was 8. I have taken care of rabbits, cats, dogs, fish, and turtles. I always have a thing when it comes to animals, I really enjoy their presence. I'm very playful with animals and I always make sure that the animals I take care of are comfortable and happy being around me. I am currently a full time student. If you need me on weekdays please let me know because I have different schedules each day. Notes: I am pretty much available for the summer! My apartment is pet friendly. There's a big field next to my apartment. There is a lot of puppies in my neighborhood so your dog won't ever get lonely. There's also dog waste bags everywhere near my apartment, so your dog can potty anywhere. For cats, I have cat toys in my apartment because I have 2 cats but they currently live at my parents house, for potty I might have to buy the sand or if you could provide one that would be awesome!

“Barb is amazing!!! Every time she gets home, Lola gets super excited because she knows is time for her walk! Barb is sweet and very kind with my baby!! 100% recommended!!”

“Jamie is great with my two dogs. One of my dogs is super shy and the other does not believe in personal space. Jamie has patience with each of them for them to all have a good time playing or just hanging out.”

“Grace was willing to come a long way for a trial walk and then realized it was too far. She was friendly and able to handle my larger dog and nervous smaller dog.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid My grandmother was a dog breeder and my step dad is a veterinarian. We are active in our house, we do dog walks, and play in the backyard. Your dog will be everywhere my dogs are. I have two Weiner dogs and a Aussie English shepherd. I don’t have any kids or cats in the house. I’m very knowledgeable about dogs and dog breeds. I do prefer to just watch one family’s dogs at a time. I’m currently working out of the home for my small business. Therefore my schedule is completely flexible. I’m willing to give dogs rides to and from home, if needed. I don’t have any children or responsibilities that could affect my ability to care for your pets. My dogs get walked everyday we have playtime in the backyard. Your dogs go and do what my dogs do. They’ll never be locked outside or mistreated. If your pup stays the night they sleep with me and my dogs unless they are crate trained and that’s how you want them at bedtime. A good routine is important for our pets and I’m committed to helping keep that.

“She’s good with animals. She takes good care of her two dogs and two cats and four children. She would be good at this.” Type of work”

About: I have had the opportunity to bring peace of mind to dozens of loving pet parents over the last 4 years. I have watched pets during housesits, in my own home, and sometimes just for a walk! I have taken care of many senior dogs and have the experience required to provide them with proper love and care. I’m currently back in Kalamazoo ! I’m very excited to navigate the pet community here and meet new pet families in need of experienced care. I prefer housesitting, but I will be available for regular check-ins. I am very flexible and receptive to whatever style of care you find suitable for your pet! I have had multiple experiences with plant sitting, pet sitting, house sitting, and I work well in new situations. A lot of empathy goes a long way, and that is something I always keep in mind as I work.

“Elliott is a very caring individual. He is responsible, timely, and detail oriented. He has experience dog sitting for family members. He is absolutely pawfect!”

“ Dominique is a gifted animal-caregiver who takes extra special care of our dog Harley. She is dependable in her work, and loving in her interactions with our dog. We trust Dominique to walk our dog and have had her stay overnight with Harley when we have gone out of town. She is a trustworthy person and our dog's best friend!”

About: I have a pup of my own. I enjoy taking care of animals in my spare time away from work and home. I have two children that keep me busy and help me with our pets and I like helping others with their furry friends I am available Mondays and Tuesdays right now from 8:30-3:30 my schedule fluctuates because I work in healthcare but I am available when or if you call for whatever needs you may have on those days. I make sure they are in a clean and healthy environment. Ensuring the animals are comfortable and following the rules of their owners while still showing the pet with respect and love. Sticking to the routine given and staying consistent
