Looking for a dog walker or a pet sitter that provides the same love and care that you provide? On the Go Pet Services offers that and more through individual walking and pet care on a daily, weekly or asneeded basis.My goal is for you and your pet to be happy and secure. I keep my business small to provide for emergency visits, attentive care and thoughtful time together.
I want to help keep you and your pets happy and healthy. If you are away at work, your dog looks for companionship and exercise. Perhaps your dog is older and needs a short break outside. Cats need attention too! Leaving them alone while you are away can be stressful for them and they may be looking for some playtime or a kind pet. On the Go Pet Services will work with your schedule and budget to accommodate most situations.
I am Pet First Aid/CPR certified and can provide excellent local references. I offer multiple day visit, senior and armed forces discounts. In addition, I can pick up or deliver pet food, snacks for a small fee….

DOG DAYS Kalamazoo is a full-time Dog Walking and Pet Sitting company that is locally owned and operated by Michael Machota. Licensed, Bonded, and Insured.
When I met my wife Lisa, we each had one dog. I hadRingo the yellow Labrador Retriever, while Lisa had Nikki the American Eskimo. Ringo & Nikki have since passed away. We currently have two dogs Rupert & Walt. Both are Pit Bull mixes we adopted from Kalamazoo County Animal Services & Enforcement (KCASE). We adopted Rupert in May 2014 and Walt in May 2017. My family has owned both cats and dogs since I was a child. If you re looking for a dog, please visit the Facebook page of Save Our Strays, Kalamazoo County to learn more about adoptable dogs from KCASE. Remember Adopt! Don’t shop!
One of the reasons I started Dog Days was out of a need we have getting someone trustworthy to watch our dogs, Ringo (RIP) & Rupert, when we’re away. We always felt bad going on vacation or up north for a weekend getaway knowing they would be boarded. We wished there was someone we could TRUST to be in our home to take care of our best friends. Bothering neighbors, co-workers, or friends didn’t seem like a good option, so Dog Days came to be. You can go on vacation, have a weekend getaway, or take that extra shift knowing Dog Days will be there.
This is my full-time job, not a side project. Each and every client is important to me.
TRUST
I treat your home and pets as if they were my own.
HONESTY
Dog Days focus is you and your pet. No silly gimmicks.
EDUCATION
Bachelor’s Degree, former Public Safety Officer.
EXPERIENCED
Property management, business, and pet care.
COMMUNICATION
I return phone calls promptly the same day.
DOG WALKING
Do you have a busy schedule or work long hours? No worries if there’s a last minute change of plans, Dog Days is here to help you! I can do midday visits and dog walking on short notice in the Kalamazoo area. This includes a 20-30 minute walk or playtime, feeding/water and administering any medications.
PET SITTING
Going on vacation and don’t want to board your dog or cat? Dog Days is the answer. I can visit your home three times a day to care for your pet. I also do one-way and round trip pet transport. Confirm house systems operational at time of visit. Take care of mail, newspaper, garbage and plants….

Quality Tyme Pet Care Services is a licensed, bonded and insured pet care business specializing in Basic and Overnight Pet Sitting, Dog Walking, Pet Taxi and our Signature Red Rock Dog Walk.
I provide PetParents with peace of mind by offering the best possible care for their Furry Family Members. All pets have their individual personalities. My goal is to always provide the best care for each individual Furry Family Member based on their needs. Similar to my experience as a volunteer at the Animal Foundation, I find myself specializing in the care of furry clients that need additional attention, such as the shy/afraid or those with issues such as separation anxiety. I find it very rewarding when a shy or afraid furry client comes and sits on my lap for hugs and kisses after only a day or two of pet sitting, or a dog with separation anxiety relaxes after a short time. Of course I provide lots of attention and TLC to all of my furry clients and enjoy making their stay-cation the best that it can be. But I do feel that I have a way with those that need additional care.

I have been pet sitting for over 20 years, I have references available upon request. I don’t have a pet sitting business however, I started pet sitting for friends years ago and then received more clients fromword of mouth over the years. I am just now opening this profile to network and find new opportunities. I have experience caring for all breeds of dogs, large and small, and have experience with cats and other pets, for example, birds, bunnies, and other small pets. I have three cats of my own that I love very much and spoil. I am very reliable and trust worthy and will be open to doing a background check if you require that before starting any job. I work from home as a specialty baker for those with certain diet restrictions as a full time job but, I can make adjustments to my schedule to accommodate any pet sitting job I am working for any given week. FYI, I also make natural dog treats and doggy birthday cakes!
I may be available for over nights in some cases if needed and some weekends, just ask! :)…

Brenda is a fabulous pet sitter! Our very spoiled Shih-tzu loves Brenda, her family, and her two little dogs. I love the approach Brenda took to make our family and dog feel comfortable. First, she met ourpet in our home. Next, we visited her family in her home for doggie playtime. Then we left our dog with her in her home to pet sit for a few hours. That went very well! Last night our dog had his first overnight stay with Brenda and her family. We knew he would be happy as he started to play with her dogs as soon as we arrived, and he didn’t mind that we left. We left confident that he would be happy and well cared for while we were away. Brenda sends pictures and provides updates when she is watching your pet which is awesome! Brenda is very responsive and responsible. She will be watching our very spoiled Shih-tzu again for sure. Brenda is the best and I highly recommend her!!!…

She was very responsible with the instructions we gave her, andeven sent us a photo of him during the evening to reassure us. She was also great with our dog, even though she’s super energetic LOL!

Hello Families!
Like most of us, I have been babysitting long before I was getting paid to do so, and I’ve always enjoyed it. I have 8 years of professional/paid child care experience under my belt and I lovemy jobs! I also have volunteer hours at orphanages and pre-K classrooms, which were very educative and fulfilling. I enjoy the interaction with the children and the flexibility these jobs have to offer a student like myself. I spent some years schooling outside of the States, which has molded me into well rounded, open-minded individual . I display responsibility and reliability on and off the job and an easy-going personality to be around. Previous employers describe me as very sweet, yet assertive with the children. I enjoy being active (i. e. trips to the park, play dates ) but I do see it as my duty to engage them mentally while they are in my care. I enjoy reading to them and doing other age appropriate educational activities….

FAQs for finding pet sitters

How much should I pay a pet sitter in 2022?

Pet sitters made an average of $13.75 per hour as of October 2022 at a national level. Rates will vary depending on where you live, the specific duties that you will need them to perform, and the frequency of their service. Be sure you clearly communicate to your pet sitter what you will need during the interview process so there are no unpleasant surprises.

In 2022 what types of services can I expect from a pet sitter?

Care.com pet sitters offer a variety of services that depend on the type of animal that you have, so you can determine what works best for you and your pet. Here are the most common services:

Pet walker: If you have an active pet that needs exercise during the day, consider hiring a pet walker. They can provide refills of water or food as well as offer some companionship for your pet while you are away.
Pet sitting at your home: This is often a great option for cats, bunnies or guinea pigs who don’t need such intensive daily care, or pets who like a familiar environment and don’t need to take long walks.
In-home pet sitter: It’s a good option for pet parents that need to be away and feel comfortable leaving their pets at someone else’s house. This can work for pets who want more of a connection, need medical care, or get stressed in a kennel environment.

Whether you have someone come to your home or you leave your pet at a sitter’s home, experts advise that you always check for pet sitting certifications, get referrals, do a background check, and check the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS) or Pet Sitters International (PSI) to see if the sitter is in good standing.

Are pet sitters background checked?

Yes, pet sitters on Care. com are asked to complete an annual background check called a CareCheck. Pet sitters who complete this background check will have a badge on their profile displaying the date it was run. While CareCheck is a good start, we strongly recommend that you follow some additional steps for hiring a pet sitter safely, which include interviewing candidates, checking references, and running your own background check. Visit our Safety Center to learn more.

How can I find a good pet sitter?

Care.com has hundreds of profiles for pet sitters, pet walkers, animal groomers, trainers and more. You can search the site to review profiles for the different pet sitters in your area and contact those that fit what you are looking for. You will find a description for each provider sharing details about their experience, the type of pets they can care for, and the services that they can provide. You can also post a job describing what you need and have the provider to contact you through the site.

What should I ask a pet sitter during an interview?

Here are some things that you can cover while interviewing a pet sitter:

Training and experience: Is this person trained or have the right experience? Pets can have a variety of needs ranging from physical or medical, to emotional. Be sure this person is a good match.
Rates and services: Create a list of all the tasks you’d like your pet sitter to perform and then discuss it. This person can determine if they are able to fulfill these needs and what those services will cost.
Emergency plans: Ask if they’ve ever handled a pet emergency and discuss a backup pet care plan.
References: Ask for references and check at least three.
Meet and greet: Schedule a meet and greet so you can see how the pet sitter interacts with your pet, and if your pet likes them too!

How to take good care of your pets

Feeding your pet and buying toys is not enough to take good care of your pets. Domestic cats and dogs need vitamins, a balanced diet, vaccinations, and protection against parasites. For the proper maintenance of a pet, you need to purchase special items for caring for animals. Hair brushes, nail cutters, shampoos, preparations for eyes and ears, toilet products, dental care kits. Constant supervision and care helps prevent health problems that cause stress for both the pet and its owners.

Household toilet

Large breed dogs can be walked outside, but cats, pugs, toy terriers and other small ornamental breeds, as well as old and sick animals, will need a litter box. Fillers are divided into two types:

Clumping: after getting wet, the granules stick together into lumps that are easy to remove with a scoop. A complete replacement of the contents is carried out every 5-7 days.
Absorbent: the filling gets wet, retaining moisture and remaining soft. The tray should be cleaned regularly, completely changing the material.

For cats and small dogs, wood pellets made from conifers are suitable. Wet areas are broken down into small particles, continuing to retain an unpleasant odor. They should be removed by sprinkling fresh filler.

Manufacturers produce materials based on clay, minerals, crop residues, corn and cellulose. Before buying a toilet for a pet, be sure to read the instructions.

Clumping materials are not suitable for keeping kittens. Curious pets often taste unusual foods. Once in the stomach, the clay will stick to the wall and swell, which can cause pain or death.

How to take care of your pet’s coat

The coat of dogs and cats performs a thermoregulatory function and protects the skin from external influences, so pet grooming is a mandatory procedure. Failure to follow simple instructions leads to dermatitis, inflammation, depression and other health problems. In order to properly care for domestic dogs and cats, you need to follow simple rules:

Bathing . Pets, often walking on the street, need regular water treatments. Pets are bathed less often, but they also need an occasional bath. Such care allows you to control the condition of the coat, and special shampoos for cats and dogs maintain a healthy skin condition. Read the instructions before using the tool.
Brushing out . Pet hair care allows you to normalize thermoregulation, improve blood and lymph flow, and protect against damage to the skin. Not only pets with long hair, but also short-haired breeds need periodic combing. If you do not remove the undercoat, it will accumulate and interfere with normal skin respiration, turning into an environment for the development of parasites. Long-haired cats and dogs are combed at least 4 times a week. Short-haired pets need grooming at least once a week.
Shearing and trimming . Hairdressing care for pets with long hair should not be stressful, so before a haircut, a good hairdresser tries to find an approach to restless four-legged animals. Trimming is necessary for dogs with a non-shedding short undercoat. Some long-haired breeds need partial plucking. Such care is practiced by the owners of Afghan hounds, black terriers and representatives of other breeds.
Taking vitamins . Complete hair care should include special additives. Consult your veterinarian and read the instructions before giving the product to your pet.

Eye and Ear Care Instructions

Pet cats and dogs often have eye problems. They may be related to the characteristics of the breed or appear as a result of improper care.

Breeds with folded eyelids, such as the Shar-Pei, need moisturizing in the eyes. Read the instructions before using the product.
Pets with a flattened muzzle need to constantly wipe the area around the eyes to remove secretions.
Cats and dogs with long hair can injure the eyeball even during sleep. Such animals require the services of a groomer.

Good care and following product instructions will help protect your pet’s eyes.

Nail Care

For pets that walk regularly outside, nail care is reduced to regular checkups. Domestic cats need constant care for the growing stratum corneum. For pets who do not leave the apartment, you can buy scratching posts. They need to be taught from the first days, otherwise the animal will adapt a chair, wallpaper or carpet for caring for its claws. If there are not enough scratching posts, you will have to cut the overgrown claws once every 3-4 weeks. For sphinxes and Persians, due to the rapid growth of the stratum corneum, the frequency can be once every 1.5–2 weeks.

How to care for the ears of cats and dogs

The following products are available for caring for the ears:

Sanitary napkins.
Cotton buds.
Powders for long-eared dog breeds.
Liquids that dissolve old dirt.

Pets are sensitive to improper care. Liquid products should not flow into the ears, cause allergic reactions and discomfort. Be sure to read the instructions before using the drug.

Animals depend on us, and there is no escape from that. It is in the power of each owner to make the stay of a four-legged friend in the house joyful.

What you need to know about small breeds of dogs

Small dogs are undoubtedly very cute. But if you think that’s all they have to offer, think again. Small and miniature breed dogs may be small in size, but they are still dogs. They have all the various traits found in larger breed dogs, but in a tiny way. This does not mean that small breed dogs do not have their own special characteristics. If you’re wondering if a small dog is right for you, this article will tell you everything you need to know.

Pet Health

Protecting Cats from Fleas and Ticks

Fleas and ticks are dangerous parasites that threaten the health of cats of any age. In order to protect your pet, it is necessary to carry out timely treatment from blood-sucking insects.

Pet Care Policy

April 11, 2022

When a pet appears in the house, the way of life changes dramatically – habits, routine of life – everything undergoes changes. So that both you and your pet are comfortable, read the rules for caring for pets.

A visit to the veterinarian

Every pet needs a regular check-up with a veterinarian, since their life expectancy is much shorter than that of humans, and there are just as many diseases. This is especially true when it comes to purebred pedigreed pets. Moreover, for babies, a basic examination once a year is sufficient, but for cats and dogs older than 5 years, a more advanced examination is recommended, which includes:

Abdominal ultrasound
Blood test – biochemistry and general
X-ray of the spine
ECHO-kg heart
Urine and stool tests

In order for your pet to visit the doctor without being stressful, it is necessary to accustom him to traveling by car and being in a carrier (for cats) in advance.

So teach your dog to drive with you from an early age and even trips to the veterinarian will not be associated with unpleasant procedures at the doctor.

Train your cat to be carried beforehand. This will help to put her inside without any problems already in adulthood, she will not run away from you at the sight of a bag.

Try to find a doctor for your pet who will find a common language with the animal.

Vaccination

Vaccination is one of the most important rules for animal care. An adult animal needs to undergo the procedure once a year, kittens and puppies are initially vaccinated in the first few weeks of life. After the first visit, the veterinarian will create a passport for the animal, which will contain detailed information about the pet, the type of medication that was supplied to him, and write out a vaccination schedule.

Dogs need to be vaccinated to prevent a range of diseases:

Rabies
Leptospirosis
Plague

Cats vaccination protects against:

Herpes
Plagues
Panleukopenia
Leukemia

Address book

Identification data that is usually indicated on the collar is a prerequisite, especially when it comes to a young active kitten, puppy or dog of an active breed – Jack Russell Terrier or Laika, for example. With the help of this data, you can always find out who is the owner of the animal and return it home. Ways to keep your pet safe in this way are as follows:

Collar tag. This may be a metal plate engraved with the contact details of the owner and the name of the pet.
GPS collar. A sensor attached to the collar transmits the location data of the pet to a special application that can be downloaded to your smartphone. With it, you can easily find your pet, wherever he is. It is better to choose models with a waterproof sensor, in case of unauthorized swimming. But a significant disadvantage of this method is that the collar can fly off and get lost.
The most optimal option is a combination of the above two methods with a microchip implanted under the skin of the animal. The device has the size of a wheat grain and does not cause any inconvenience to the pet. A special scanner, if necessary, can read all the information about the animal – name, age, owner’s name and address. The main thing is to update information with data in time if they have changed.

Neutering or castration

The next important rule for pet care, although it is neglected by breeders for known reasons.

Timely spaying of a cat significantly reduces the risk of genital cancer. And the absence of estrus minimizes the risk of pet running away from home.

Neutering a dog is a versatile way to reduce aggression, long absences from home and also help prevent testicular cancer.

Balanced nutrition

Proper drinking regimen and healthy nutrition are the key to longevity and excellent shape of a pet. When choosing food for a dog or cat, it is important to rely on

Peculiarities of breed
Was the pet spayed because such animals require a special type of food
Age – Kitten food cannot have the same composition as adult cat food.
Presence of chronic diseases. If they eat food must have a specific composition.
Any food should be balanced and contain proteins, fats, “correct” carbohydrates and fiber.

If, for any reason, you need to change food, remember that according to the rules of care for pets, this should be done only after consulting a veterinarian.

Hygiene procedures

Mandatory rules for pet care are

Timely bathing. Cats no more than 1 time in six months, dogs as they get dirty.
Combing wool and combing it. Especially in long-haired breeds, it is important to do this regularly, in order to avoid the formation of tangles.
Teeth cleaning
Nail clipping with special scissors.

Safety and comfort

It is important to equip your pet with a comfortable place to sleep and rest. For cats, this can be a house, for dogs – a booth or a comfortable bed.
For a cat, it is necessary to choose the right size tray and filler.
It is important that there are no exposed wires in your home. Puppies and kittens love to chew on them.
It is best to remove poisonous houseplants out of the pet’s reach.
If a cat lives in the house, and the floor is high, there must be protective nets on the windows.

Socialization

For a dog, this is one of the most important rules for caring for pets. Regular walks, the intensity and duration of which depends on the characteristics of the breed, communication with other dogs is the key to mental stability and emotional health.

It is very important for a cat to spend time with his owner, affection and attention, which must be given to the pet on a daily basis.

Animal Care: debunge myths

It’s hard to say where pet myths come from. Perhaps they are invented by those who have never had four-legged friends. Maybe these inventors are just trying to find a decent explanation why they do not dare to get a cat or a dog? However, as soon as you have a pet, all myths will be smashed to smithereens. And you can start right now …

Should cats be fed fish and milk?

A cat drinking milk from a saucer – such pictures are found in magazines and in videos. Naturally, when we meet plaintively meowing felines on the street or at the entrance, the hand reaches out to pour milk into a bowl. However, here you should say “stop” to yourself. The fact is that cats are lactose intolerant by nature and from milk they will easily have intestinal upset. Only kittens who are breastfed drink milk!

The same goes for fish. Do not forget that the ancestors of cats were African wild animals, which were even afraid to approach the water. They did not have the habit of catching fish, they ate rodents and small animals. A man introduced cats to fish, and as a result, cats on a fish diet develop urolithiasis, which is especially susceptible to neutered cats. In addition, parasites appear from raw fish, the thyroid gland is disrupted and allergies develop.

Cat + dog = ?

Everyone is familiar with the phrase “they live like a cat and a dog”. From this we can conclude that animals cannot coexist together. However, this is not true.

Milena Novikova

Inveterate cat lady

“If you introduce a cat and a dog to each other not at a respectable age, when it is difficult to change their habits, but in early childhood, they will easily make friends. Of course, for this you will have to make some efforts. For example, to unite pets in the game, to prevent jealousy and rivalry between them, to gently extinguish aggression and direct the energy of animals in a useful direction. The cat and dog should have their own secluded places where they can relax and be alone. Another tricky trick is to place the cat’s bowl of food on the towel that was used to dry the dog. So the dog will be associated in the cat with pleasant emotions during meals.

By the way, Labradors get along best with cats due to their good nature.

Should I get up at 5 am?

The need to wake up with the first roosters in order to walk the dog scares off many potential dog lovers. Especially owls, for whom early awakening is like death. But not everyone knows that it is not at all necessary to adapt to dog Wishlist, but you can fit any dog into your schedule. You need to be patient, because each canine individual has different characters and needs. And of course, consider the breed of dogs. For example, a Chihuahua, Spitz, Yorkshire Terrier, Pug, Pekingese and Chinese Crested Dog do not need to be walked every day, they can do their “things” in the tray. Bulldogs also calmly endure rare walks – increased activity is generally dangerous for them, and besides, they can be accustomed to the tray. But huskies, collies, any shepherd, dalmatian, retriever and other large breeds need to move more, so they are suitable for athletic people. If you don’t walk them enough, they will start active activities in your apartment, for example, they will try to tear the floor or start an unplanned “redevelopment”.

In general, choose a dog according to its temperament for your lifestyle and character!

Dog and loneliness

Representatives of the cat family love loneliness, because cats and cats are introverts by nature. The dog is an extrovert, she loves communication and dialogue, so, of course, dogs endure loneliness much harder. If you spend a lot of time at work, but at the same time your cherished dream is to have a devoted four-legged friend at home, take a closer look at the appropriate breeds. Easily stay at home working dogs – Bernese Mountain Dog, Pyrenean Mountain Dog, Bullmastiff and Great Dane, as well as hunting dogs – Russian Greyhounds, Irish Wolfhounds and Greyhounds. True, after work you will have to rehabilitate yourself in their eyes, for example, take them out for an active walk. Quietly wait for the owner after a working day and decorative breeds of dogs – Pekingese, Shih Tzu, Japanese Chin, pug and Chinese Corydalis. And what is very important, they will not destroy the apartment and will behave very dignified, as befits true ladies and gentlemen. Just be sure to compensate for your absence with communication with your pet and a pleasant walk.

What do pets smell like?

Many people are prevented from getting a cat or a dog by the fear that unpleasant odors will appear in the house. You do not have to worry about this, because there are breeds that practically do not smell and are suitable for especially sensitive people with a delicate sense of smell, as well as for allergy sufferers. For example, dogs that were specially bred to live with humans are lapdogs, poodles, continental spaniels – papillon and phalene, shih tzu, Brussels Griffons, Portuguese water dogs, schnauzers, labradoodles, basenjis and terriers. Despite the fact that they do not shed and do not smell, no one has canceled the proper care of animals. Even a poodle will develop an unpleasant odor if left unwashed and fed cheap food. In addition, a foul-smelling animal is an alarming symptom of a pet’s health problems, so take your dog and cat to the veterinarian as a preventative measure and pay attention to the strangeness of their behavior.

Hypoallergenic cats include Sphynx, Devon Rex, Cornish Rex, Munchkin, Peterbald and Siamese cats.

Nelli Sukhanova

Veterinarian

“Be sure to brush your cats and dogs teeth so that they don’t get plaque and bad breath. To do this, purchase a special long-handled toothbrush and edible toothpaste, since animals do not know how to rinse their mouths. Periodically show your pets to the dentist – this is a must-have rule for caring for animals.

Warm nose and chew toys

A special category of myths is not related to the care of animals, but to their behavior and characteristics. For example, for some reason, some dog owners believe that if the dog has a warm nose, this is a sign of illness. Calm down, a warm nose is just a warm nose. Maybe the dog just woke up – usually such noses happen after sleep. Do not panic, do not make hasty diagnoses and do not call an ambulance.

Someone else figured out that dog chew toys cause animals to switch to your shoes or other items. In fact, they need to satisfy their natural chewing instinct, and if there are no toys, your new shoes will seem very attractive to them. In addition, dogs need gum massage and jaw development, so you definitely cannot do without such toys.

The myth of nutrition

It is believed that dogs eat everything, so you can give them leftover food from the owners’ table and they will be satisfied with life. It’s a delusion. Dogs are not piglets that gorge themselves on compound feed and grunt happily. For the full development of the animal, a balanced diet with proteins, fats, carbohydrates and fiber is needed.
