Dog Walking Yates

“Erin is so good with our Goldendoodle Toby. He’s very energetic, and Erin takes the walks in stride, letting Toby get all that energy out. Would highly recommend Erin for your dog walking needs!”

“Shelby really looks out for my lil guy, going above and beyond to make sure everything is in order when she comes to pick up Rogue. I appreciate her always willing to do the extra little things while I’m away to take good care of him :)”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities. I have an 11-year-old maltese of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Growing up, I also helped care for family, friends’, and neighbors’ dogs, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, energy levels, and temperaments. Whether your dog needs a fun walk to burn off energy or a drop-in visit for potty breaks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, or just some extra company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s unique routine and needs. I know that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, so I’ll always provide updates and photos to help you feel connected and give you peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend! I’m currently on a career sabbatical, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’ve been spending my summer outdoors, walking local parks, exploring nature, and enjoying time fishing. Staying active and getting outside with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, a drop-in visit while you’re at work, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule whenever possible. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big responsibility, and I don’t take that lightly. During every drop-in visit, I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that’s feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, administering simple care instructions, or simply providing companionship while you’re away. I’ll treat both your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would my own. Communication is important to me, so you can expect timely updates, photos, and a summary of each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Amy is fantastic. She’s very reliable and friendly and totally has a connection with my dog! She doesn’t balk at the inclement weather walks.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, and I would love to make life easier for busy people. I am incredibly reliable, punctual, and experienced with dogs of all sizes. Whether your pup needs an energetic midday walk, a quick backyard potty break, or feeding and fresh water, I treat every pet with the exact same love and attention I give my own! With my kids in school and working part-time, I am available until 1:00 PM on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I can also do Monday and Wednesday evenings from 5:00 to 7:00 PM! I have a sweet 9-year-old Boston Terrier who loves other dogs. For outside time, we use a secure tie-out ground leash under direct supervision. I always closely monitor all pets, keep my home completely dog-proofed, and prioritize keeping your pup happy and safe.

About: The number one thing in life that brings me joy is caring for animals. I currently work as a nurse and I’m working on completing my masters. I’ve cared for animals of all shapes and sizes, and used to rescue senior dogs. I am happy to care for either cats or dogs (or both!). I currently have 2 Newfies that help keep me on my toes, and I’ve had many cats throughout my life (most recently a Maine Coon that passed at age 20).I’m happy to assist with walks, play time, boarding, etc., please reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I am working part time on Saturdays and Sundays, so I am free during the week for pet care services. I can do up to 3 drop in visits per day depending on distance. Dogs are like toddlers, so you always have to be watching (especially the puppies), so I am very attentive to their needs and wants. I love taking them outside and playing or going for walks. I match your pets energy level, so if they can go for a long walk, we go for long walks and vice versa with shorter walks for older dogs.

About: From anxiety-ridden dogs to rough-playing kittens, I am the person to care for your pet! My approach is to understand your pet's personality, then strive to make them feel comfortable and secure. I am a recent college graduate and doing freelance work from home. This gives me so much flexible time to care for your pet, weekday or weekend! I am a non-smoker, non-drinker, and I treat my clients' homes like my own. I am patient and understanding, making sure every pet I watch feels safe and secure. As a pet owner myself, I know how much pets are missed while the owner's gone, so communicating with you, the pet owner, is a priority.

About: I am a true animal lover! I’ve had pets since I was little that I’ve helped take care of and have looked after pets for my family and friends. Having pets of my own that I love and care deeply for gives me a deeper understanding when it comes to someone else’s. Walks, play time, potty breaks or time spent loving on your furry friend is my helping goal. I have an open and flexible schedule, can care for your pets while away at work. Walks to tire them out, outdoor potty breaks, or playtime inside / out to ensure they aren’t bored or restless while you’re away. I’m open to walking any size dog however long needed and ensuring they’re properly cared for after the fact. I’m comfortable leashing and harnessing, as well as recognizing when a dog is ready to relax.

About: I’ve fostered and cared for 100’s of dogs. I own and love a few of my own. I have experience in all breeds, big and small! I work during the week but have time on weekends and some week nights to check in on your pets and take some doggies for some walks. My yard is fully fenced in with a 5ft fence. I live on 3/4 of acre. I foster dogs regularly so there are always different dogs in my home.

About: I have over 6 years of experience working in kennels caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. Along with several family friends and people in my community that I have sat for many many times. I have special training in providing medications in any form (Pills, ear/eye drops, topical medications, insulin injections, etc) and training/experience working with dogs of all temperaments (anxious, aggressive, energetic, reactive, etc.) I have a true passion and love for working with cat and dogs but am at not a point in my life where I can get on of my own, so I would love nothing more to spend some time with your fur baby! I am currently finishing up at school at Michigan State University but am commuting from my hometown for this semester. Fortunately I only have to be up in East Lansing for a couple of hours 2 days a week, and I am investing the rest of my time into my online classes. This has left my schedule pretty open for the upcoming months and I will be spending majority of my time with your pet during their stay! For those interested in boarding, I do live with my parents and a sibling, but they all love to have furry visitors and your pet is guaranteed to get an abundance of attention! When I care for someone else's pet I truly treat them as my own. I have great relationship with all of the clients I currently sit for and their pets. My main goal when sitting is to make sure that both the owner and the pet are entirely comfortable while they are in my care. To do this I try to create a very open line of communication and send frequent updates and pictures and make sure to ask questions rather than guessing how to care for someone else's pet.

“Jennifer was very accommodating on short notice, easy going, and communicative. Very pleased overall!”

About: Over the past eight years, I’ve been a dedicated pet sitter for all kinds of animals—dogs, cats, and even owned chameleon. I’ve made sure pets are safe, well-fed, exercised, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ve handled everything from giving medication to keeping high-energy dogs entertained. I’ve also worked with exotic pets, and making sure their environment stays just right. I take pet sitting seriously and always focus on being dependable, communicative, and giving each pet the care it needs. I will gives your pets all the love and care they need! I currently work part-time, but I'm committed to providing your pets with the attention and exercise they need. On Tuesdays, I'm available before 9:00 AM and after 3:00 PM. For the rest of the week, my schedule is flexible, and I can accommodate pet care appointments throughout the day. As a dedicated dog walker and cat sitter, I want to make sure pets maintain their regular routines, providing familiar care in the comfort of their own homes. For dogs, I offer regular walks tailored and ensuring they receive the necessary exercise to keep their tails wagging. For cats, I adhere to their feeding schedules, keep litter boxes clean, and offer companionship like playing and cuddling. I also administer medications as needed and maintain clear communication with pet owners, providing updates and addressing any concerns.

About: Hello! I’m Amy and i’m 21 years old. I’ve had dogs since I was about 5 years old. I’ve also had a couple parrots and have taken care of other pets along the way. I really love being around animals and taking care of them especially going on walks. Walking benefits me and the pets so there really is no down side. I am in school, I will be graduating soon. I have a part time job as well but would love to care for pets whenever possible and hopefully help out a you busy pet owners ! I would like to mostly take the pets on walks outside so the home environment won’t be an issue :) It is a safe place though.

“Thomas did a great job walking our dogs and making sure they were taken care of while we were gone for the day. We'll definitely book Thomas again in the future!”

About: home full time!!! Nail trims available during boarding or day care For an extra $10 per dog! Hi everyone! I’m Marielle! I’m very experienced with dogs especially but cats too! I’ve done just about every job you can do with animals, from managing a doggy day care, to working in grooming salon, to being a veterinary assistant. I have worked with animals professionally for 10 years and counting! I do have a few pets of my own right now, I have an Italian greyhound who is just my baby and a cat Theo who pretty much leaves all the dogs alone. I have no problem with any breed or any size dog, and know how to handle timid and anxious animals as well. I am extremely loving and treat every animal as if they were my own! please be advised that even though this is my full-time job, I am in enforcing a new policy, which states that I am only allowing pick up and drop offs between 7AM and 10 PM. If you need to pick up or drop off before or after these times, I will have to add an additional fee or you can book for an extra night so i can have a regulated schedule. I am home full-time so my days revolve around the dogs although i still have to leave my house for errands an appointments so pet must be able to be crated for when i do have to leave for everyone’s safety. I treat every animal as if they were my own. Safety wise I do prefer if they can be crated for a few hours when I am not home as some animals can get anxious in new places and start getting into things that they shouldn’t and potentially harm themselves. I do not have a fenced in yard at the moment. I still take dogs out for potty breaks and walks 3 times a day.

“Shareen does such a good job with our 2 Standard Golden doodles. One is a very EXCITED Puppy and she handles her so well. Besides walking our girls, she truly cares about our dogs. She goes beyond and above for them and us. You must give her a try, you definitely will not be sorry!!!”

I currently am taking the summer off of work, so I will have all the time in the day to care for and play with your pets! I will regularly let your dog out. If needed, I have experience with e-collars and how to properly use them. I can also crate your dog.
