“Ashley has been amazing with Dudley. Her promptness and thorough report makes me feel so at ease on the days she walks him. He’s always so happy to see her and she is very sweet with him.”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with my 16-year-old family dog, who had medical issues as she got older, and I helped care for her before she passed away. My family now has a puppy who I’ve helped train and care for, so I’m comfortable with dogs at different stages of life. I also have experience caring for cats, including feeding and looking after them! I volunteer at the Humane Society of Huron Valley as a dog walker, where I spend time with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I also help care for cats at the shelter, including cleaning their cages and feeding multiple cats at once.I’m a senior at the University of Michigan and live on campus, so I have a flexible schedule, a car, and can accommodate different pet care needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and love getting to know each pet! I’d love to meet your pets and help take care of them! As a full-time student, my class schedule varies day by day, but I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week to spend time with your pet and provide attentive care. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to keep them comfortable by following their established routines as closely as possible. I provide fresh food and water, regular walks, playtime, and any special attention they need. I’m respectful of your space and will keep you updated on how your pet is doing with plenty of photos, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Casidy did a great job walking our dog 3 times this week. Her communication was excellent, she was very punctual, and she took great care of our dog. We recommend her without reservations!”
“Stephanie is absolutely fantastic! She is 100% reliable and went above and beyond what she was hired to do. I cannot recommend her highly enough and will hire her again when needed!! if I could give her 10 stars, I would.”
About: I absolutely adore all animals, especially dogs! I have been caring for and house sitting dogs of all breeds since I was 15 years old. Throughout my experience, I have cared for both puppies and senior dogs making sure to adapt to each dog's unique personality and needs. I have grown up and lived with dogs my entire life, so I understand the importance of providing them with love, attention, and exercise. I am highly attentive, reliable, and committed to satisfying both the pet’s and owner’s needs. I am currently a student; however, I have a very flexible schedule, and can tailor my schedule towards the needs of my clients. I can work weekends. I am a focused and hard worker and will make sure your pet is cared for to the best of my ability. I love all animals and want to make sure that their needs are met through exercise, love, and care.
About: Growing up I lived with several dogs (big and small, some who required extra care) and babysat friends' dogs as an adult. I now live with my orange tabby cat, soda. I have several years of healthcare experience with direct clinical (human) patient care. I can identify and act in the event of a crisis, and am a calming attentive caregiver always. If nothing else, I'm far from faint-hearted. I am currently available every day and although I’m planning to attend UMich full-time in January I still anticipate having time each day to care for pets. Soda is a sweet and social 7lb tabby. He loves to be held and carried around the house. Building routines with soda has been a joyful insight into his personality and thoughts, be that our morning coffee time (no coffee for him, but he likes the smell), grooming, or finding a comfy spot to hide from the vacuum. I adore his curiosity and am grateful to be there with him when he needs me. Soda’s trust that I can be a safe place for him means the world to me. I know how important that trust is between all pets and people, and the trust you place in me to care for your pet is so important. I understand each animal is different and would love to know what quirks and routines are important to you and your pet.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for year and have enjoyed every minute of it. I have had dogs growing up ranging from large dogs to my current dog being a mini English bulldog who I adore so dearly. Over the years I’ve primarily done over night home sitting for days at a time and walking a consistent group of dogs. I’m currently a college student on summer break, so I have a lot of availability and time off, especially on the weekends. I am always willing to find a time. I am able to be as active and down to a schedule that any pet needs to be. I make sure to make sure both the pet and owner are comfortable with someone trustworthy and caring.
About: I have taken care of my diabetic dog for 11 years. I have used that experience to provide better pet-cares to many pets. I will care for your dog not just like a pet, but as a member of the family! I'm currently a full time student, but a lot of my classes start at 12 to 2 on many days. I come home right after classes most of the time, so I'll always be able to take care of the potty and food without a problem! I currently live in a studio with a bit of open space for dogs and cats to stay. I am also very open to having pets on the bed if the owner would be happy with that!
About: I've helped watch dogs of all kinds since I was 13. From my own dogs, neighbor's dogs, friend's dogs, and even office dogs, I've kindly help make them feel comfortable with attention and care. I like to prioritize play with dogs to help their mood and tire them out if needed. My friend's family have previously entrusted me to care for their pets for over week long periods on several occasions. I'm currently in between jobs, so I have time and flexibility to care for your pet at a schedule that best suits your needs. I can actively engage in play with your pets or just keep them company. I am open to any specific instructions that will help me to provide care for your pet. Dogs have been my best friends throughout my life, and I care and treat other dogs just as a best friend too.
“Leask is an outstanding dog walker! He's friendly, caring, conscientious, reliable, and an excellent communicator! My husky bonded with Leask immediately. Highly, highly recommended! If if I could give more than 5 stars I would!”
About: I had my family black Labrador, Buddy, for one semester of college, and it was one of the best semester in college. I love being active outdoor with Buddy, showing Buddy new things and places, and teaching him new tricks. I have watched dogs of every kind over long and short period of time for friends who go home for breaks. It brings my lots of joy to be close to furry friends. I hope to keep your dog day exciting while still respecting your dog’s individual personalities! I am a first-year medical school student. My schedule is very flexible, so I can accommodate for yours and your pet needs! My personal time is entwined with pet care time. When I watch my friends’ pets or my Labrador, I would go on jogs and walks my work-out. I am happy to tailor meal time depending on your’s preference for your fur baby. I also worked on my dog’s training while I’m on break between classes. Before accepting booking, I would love to have a short meet and greet. This way you and your pets could get to know me and determine if I would be a good fit!
“Brianna is amazing :) My dog is pretty reactive when it comes to other dogs and Brianna was very patient with her. I love how attentive she is and the updates are very consistent. I trust her a lot and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker.”
About: I’ve been babysitting and pet sitting since the age of 13 and have stuck with it as a summer job, now year-round gig ever since. I am now a 20 year old college student residing in Hartland. I can truly say there’s nothing I haven’t been able to do/learn. I’ve developed a pretty sturdy routine and enjoy getting to know my clients, their family’s and their pets. I’m very flexible and try my best to fit everybody in and make sure all my clients needs are met and more! My goal is to be a reliable pet sitter to all of my clients. Pet sitting and Babysitting is my full-time job right now and I have a lot of flexibility. Most of my families are currently out of town so I’m looking to fill up my schedule for the next few weeks. My clients typically tell me what they need done and we have a meeting a couple days or a week before they need me to come by. I do, of course, have my own pets and volunteer at dog and cat shelters in my spare time. My family has been fostering dogs through the shelter we volunteer at for over two years now and we have two cats. Typically a care routine is established through me and a client having a meeting or conversation over the phone. Every pet is unique and everyone’s standards are different. I usually just inquire with my client and create a plan that works the absolute best for their needs and their pet.
About: I have taken care of a wide variety of dogs, including puppies and senior dogs, large and small breeds. I used to own guinea pigs and also have experience caring for rabbits and cats. I am home from college until June 24th, and available every day of the week until then! My day-to-day schedule this month is very open and flexible. While I can’t care for pets in my own home this summer, I am more than happy to do anything from just a short walk to being with them in your home for hours. I am very considerate of your space and any special requests.
About: I am an animal lover and genuinely love caring for all pets. I like to spend as much time with the pets I care for and make sure they are well-loved while their family is away. While caring for them I offer lots of cuddles, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. If at all possible, I do like to meet the pet and family beforehand so that the pet and owners feel confident and secure in their decision, not all dogs are created similarly so I like to make sure that the pet feels comfortable with me before a stay or a drop in visit. I myself have three poodles and am proud to call them my fur babies. I have a extensive experience raising and training poodle puppies(0months-6months) with programs such as puppy culture, ENS, no jumping, no biting, potty training, crate training, and behavior rehabilitation, leash/walk training. With this experience, I have become very intune with dog/puppy body language and communication styles of individual breeds and individual communication styles of different dogs (each one is different afterall). I do my best to research my client's breed so that I can best serve their pups specific breed's needs during the length of my stay or for any other service I offer. I can't wait to meet you and your pup! Currently an Aerospace engineering student and working part-time. Most of the time I would be staying with your pet and studying. There are times throughout the day that I would need to leave for work, lectures, or grab lunch with a friend. My schedule is fairly flexible and can be adjusted to meet your needs. *Please note that I am an engineering student at the University of Michigan. There will be times I will be away 6+ hours due to professor schedules, class times, and project meetings. Caring for pets in their own homes, I make sure that all basic needs are met and do plenty of cuddles and play with the pet as well. Additional care is done at the dog and owner's request, a fee may be added depending on the request. *Additional $10-$15 daily fee may be added for very needy pups *Note there is a half day fee for 3+ dogs added per day of the booking *Any dogs not under direct ownership of the client booking will need to pay full day fees

Tori does an amazing job with Valentino every time! I’ve rebooked her many times because she is dependable, caring, and takes such great care of him. Valentino absolutely loves her, which means everything to me. I always feel confident knowing he is in good hands with Tori. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and wonderful dog walker!
V went beyond the call of duty with Adam. She returned for a second visit to check to make sure he wasn't ill. She took the dirty bedding and put in the wash. She sat with him patiently and gave him lots of cuddles. She indicated he was fine Thank you for giving Adam such wonderful care I appreciate your kindness and compassion.
Micheal did a great job being patient and accommodating with my at times stubborn, senior foster dog! He showed my foster pup lots of care and helped me balance work and my foster pup with his help. Communication was good, for example one day I changed my dog’s food so I was worried how he would do that day, and Michael provided updates quickly. Thank you Michael!
