Dog Walking Atlas

About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, chinchillas, and hamsters. Including grooming, cleaning up after, administering medicine, feeding, etc. I have cared for animals from the moment they are born until old age. I have worked with animals with a wide range of personalities. I am a graduate student at Oakland University so my schedule is fairly flexible. I am currently doing Rover full-time and look forward to meeting your beloved pets. I will love and care for your animal as though it is my own. I will also respect all house rules and make sure your pet is fed, getting enough exercise, and update you regularly. I will stay and play with your pet it will never be a check in and leave.

About: I have over two years of hands-on experience caring for dogs through both a professional doggy daycare setting and pet sitting for families. At the daycare, I work with dogs of all sizes and temperaments in group play, making sure they stayed safe, social, and well cared for. I also have experience working one-on-one with more aggressive or reactive dogs in private play settings, so I understand how to read behavior and handle different personalities with patience and care. I’m not currently working this summer, so I have plenty of flexibility for drop-ins and let-outs throughout the day. I’m currently looking for a part-time job, but i’ll still have consistent availability for pet care. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure pets get the attention, potty breaks, and routine they’re used to! I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their own space. I follow all instructions you leave for feeding, potty breaks, crates, and routines. I take safety seriously doors locked, leashes secured, and pets supervised during let‑outs. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, and I always make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.

About: My experience lies with all kinds of pets. From cats and dogs to the more exotic chinchillas. I have cared for pets of all ages from puppies to seniors. I have many years of experience in caring for the medically complex pets so administering medications is something I am comfortable doing. The weather is not what matters to me. Your pets care is my highest priority. I am currently working part time so I have a fairly flexible schedule to care for your pets. I look forward to helping you and your family. Safety for all is my number one priority. Happiness for both you and your pet is my number one goal. I will aide by the house rules and your instructions for caring for your pet.

“Daisy suggested to me the other day that Harley is not a huge fan of walking in the dark so I got her a glow-in-the-dark collar and it was a huge success for my dog. It alleviated her anxiety during their walk. So thank you Daisy for being such an amazing dog walker, that you made an observation that helped make my dog more comfortable on her walks. We appreciate it! We also appreciate the detailed reports on her adventures and the cute pictures you take ☺️”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have my own puppy, Mika, and I’ve helped care for her dog parents and their litter of nine puppies, which gave me valuable experience with young dogs and the extra attention they require. I’ve also cared for a doodle named Libby, as well as my foster parents’ dogs, Bella and Brutus. Through these experiences, I’ve become comfortable managing multiple dogs, maintaining routines, providing exercise and enrichment, and making sure each dog receives individual attention and care. As a nanny, I’m naturally patient, attentive, and dependable. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I am on summer break from graduate school until I go back the last week of August. I currently have Tuesdays-Thursdays free and Saturdays and Sundays free! I will follow any sort of special feeding schedule, and I am able to crate dogs of they need to be! I have a dog who likes to try and run out the front door so I have lots of experience making sure dogs like her stay inside and safe! I also have 10+ years of cat experience and stick to strict feeding times and cleaning litter boxes!

About: My name is Ashley. I am a Mother of 2 teenage boys, the wife of a US Soldier, a USMC veteran, and a long time pet mom. I know how difficult it is to leave your pets with a sitter or boarding. It’s hard to tell who will be kind and good with them, while you are away. I have sit for friends and family. I have taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, reptiles, sheep, goats and horses. I am comfortable with administering medications. I can come meet you and your pets ahead of time. I will send updates and photos throughout your time away. I hope you will allow me to help with your animals! I teach most of the year but I am off work for the Summer. I have an open schedule throughout the day. I can not sleep overnight, but I am ok with early morning care. I make sure to have a fun and playful environment with my pets. They also get a lot of cuddle time with our family. My animals spend a lot of time outside and at the dog park. If your pets need extra attention, extra playtime and extra cuddles, I can handle that too.

“Great communicator!”

About: I have been around pets my whole life. I had a beagle that was 2 when I was born so I grew up helping care for her. I have cared for turtles, fish, and a chameleon. Currently, I have a cat that I have raised from birth. I have helped my aunt with her two golden retrievers when she needed someone to take them out during the day and feed them while she was at work or away on vacation. For the past two summers, I have cared for my uncle's 12 year-old chocolate lab when their family is on vacation. She is a senior dog that needs a little more care and consideration. I am a recent high school graduate and my summer is open. I am attending Mott Community College in the fall, so I am also not going away to school. I plan to provide service to the client at their home. I currently live at home, so I can't care for animals at my house.

About: Hi! 🤗 thanks for checking me out! I have a ton of experience with animals! I have experience in animal hospitals and doggy daycares alike 😃 Taking care of animals is where my heart is. I’ve always had multiple animals at a time. CPR and trauma experienced. I’m available all the time currently! Which means longer walks, play in the yard, or cuddles! I walk dogs full time so don’t be shy! I can’t watch anyone in my apartment, but I can come to your home or take them out and about! My attitude changes with each animal as I learn them. Most dogs I’m pretty playful with and have a lot of high energy play, some like to just sit next to a warm body on the couch and I can do that too.

“First time ever having someone else watch my baby, I was sooo nervous!! But we love Rachel!! And he was so comfortable with her!! So thankful we found someone we can trust!!”
