Dog Walking in Metro
Grand Rapids and Kent County
Doggie Latchkey’s daily dog walking service is recommended for every dog, and it’s a must for clients working extra long hours. No one has to tell you how much a walk means to your pet!

Kent County Dog Walker
The benefits of regular dog walking are undeniable – weight control, joint health, digestive health, mental stimulation, improved sleep, and a reduction in unwanted attention-seeking behaviors. Our dog walking services are perfect for those working extra-long hours and for those who are unable to walk their pets themselves.
Doggie Latchkey offers you several dog walking options, allowing you to create your own personalized dog walking package – designed just for you and your pets to choose from:
- You should always consult your veterinarian before selecting any exercise routine for your dog, but the typical recommendation for a healthy dog is 30 minutes of exercise per day.
- Our dog walking services are offered in nursing homes and elder care facilities as well.

We are so happy with Doggie Latchkey! We found them last year and couldn't be happier with the service they provide. Heather, our dog walker, is wonderful with our golden Kona and he is always so excited when she comes for his walks. She wears him out and is willing to play chuck it with him too to get some of that extra energy out. Denise, the owner, has also been wonderful to work with and is very accommodating with our last minute appointments. Would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a dog walker in the Grand Rapids area!

Thank you so very much to Doggie Latchkey!!!! We hired this company to walk, feed, and watch over my mom's dog while she had just moved into an assisted living facility. Shortly after, Covid 19 hit... and they continued to go above and beyond to keep my mom's dog happy and healthy! Without their excellent care and reliability, I don't think my mom's dog could have stayed with her. We have had multiple new challenges during this difficult time in our world... But Denise and all of the employees have been incredible. I do not know what I would have done without them. I would recommend them to everyone and anyone I know! Thank you Doggie Latchkey!!!!!

Doggie Latchkey has been wonderful to work with and wonderful to our best buddy. They are efficient and organized when it comes to scheduling (i.e., daily walks as well as pet sits when we're away from home) and billing. We have 2 steady walkers: Robin and Nancy, both of which are amazing. I feel like both of them genuinely care for our dog. I can also tell that he really enjoys his time with them too 😉 It is especially important to us that when we're away for business, he's comfortable, safe and well-cared for. The luxury of being away from home without having to worry about him makes Doggie Latchkey worth every penny.

Doggie Latchkey Daily Dog Walking FAQ’s
-
Will I meet my dog walker?
Once you’ve completely filled out your and your pet’s information and selected your services and dates you can order your meet and greet through the client portal. We cannot proceed with your meet and greet until this important information has been updated in your portal so that we can match you with an available walker that matches your dates and needs. -
Will I have the same walker every time?
While this is our goal it’s going to depend upon your walker’s availability. This is why we dedicate substantial time into building pet sitting teams. Every one of Doggie Latchkey’s professional walking have been fully vetted and trained to step up when needed. You’ll always have a back up should it be necessary. -
How will the walker access my home?
The preferred method is via a coded lockbox or garage door code. There should always be a back-up means of entry. This information should always be kept up to date in your client portal. -
What if I have to extend my stay?
We always suggest updating this change in your client portal first. After you’ve completed this step feel free to reach out to us by email to confirm that we have your new return date and time. -
What if I have to make a change to my order?
We always suggest updating any change in your client portal first. After you’ve completed this step feel free to reach out to us by email to confirm that we have your new requests. -
What if I need to cancel my dog walking services?
Again, use your client portal to request cancellation. This is the only way for us to process any refund or credit for future services per Doggie Latchkey’s Cancellation Policy.
