“Valerie is the best! My puppy loved her. She’s very experienced, caring and responsible. Lucy is training to be a therapy dog and Valerie did an excellent job using the specific commands Lucy is being taught. Also, Lucy is a challenge at five months and 50 pounds.

“Hi highly recommend Greg! I was fortunate enough to not only book him last minute so my pup could get in a walk, but also able to do so on New Years Eve. My pup was obviously quite fond of him because he didn't want to stop playing with Greg once he brought him back home from the walk, and he continued to bring over one toy after the next to show him. I look forward to booking him again in the near future.”

About: I've raised dogs as small and stubborn as Shitzu's and as big and smart as German Shepherds. I love dogs and will treat your fur baby better than many.

About: I have always been a dog and animal lover. I used to watch my neighbors’ dogs when they would go on vacation. I always had my own dog growing up- first a yellow lab mix and then an adorable little beagle. I have my own dog who is 9, Frankie, & I love to care for her. I have many years of experience volunteering at animal shelters and socializing dogs. When I lived in Seattle, I cared for a friend’s dog when she would be out of town on the weekends for work. I am available this summer to help care for your dogs because I’ll be studying for the bar (!) every day, so help give me a break from studying. 🤪 My sweet girl is pretty low energy and loves to hang out in the back yard, so she is pretty low maintenance, but of course I love to just hang out with her and care for her. I’m excited to hear back and have the opportunity to interact with some great dogs! I have experience caring for puppies, high-energy dogs, low-energy dogs, on-leash reactive dogs, senior dogs, and many breeds and sizes. If this is your first booking on Rover, feel free to use my code for $20 off: https://www.rover.com/sit/cassiw30987 I am available most days all day because I’ll just be studying all day this summer. I am available on the weekends and short notice as well! I will update my availability for when I’m not free though. I will respect what you want me to do based on what your dog knows. Essentially I will follow the routine for however you prefer the walk or drop in visit to go!

About: Hi! I'm David. I grew up in Michigan surrounded by dogs and farm animals. Labrador Retrievers were the family favorite, however, I rescued a Basset Hound Mix during the pandemic. One of my college jobs was working at a doggy daycare center. I was quickly promoted to manager and ended up rolling out a marketing plan for the business. It was a blast! I live in Metro Detroit (Oak Park) and am currently "funemployed" which means I have all the time in the world to take care of your furry companions! I take pride in my ability to be patient, gentle, responsible, and fun with all kinds of dogs, sizes, and ages. I have vast and diverse experience taking care of animals including dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, horses, and birds. During college, I volunteered at various humane societies and frequently dog sat for friends and relatives. I was also instrumental in co-training a Golden Retriever to be a service dog. That was a highly rewarding experience. My approach to dog care is to start with the owner and get to know the dog through their eyes. I then channel that love and devotion to esteemed care, ensuring that walks are done frequently, food is out at a responsible time, and that enough attention is spent with the dog. I'm an outdoors guy and walk whenever I get the chance, so rest assured that your dog will get a healthy amount of outside time. If you've made it this far and like what you've read, let's schedule a meet-and-greet! I take my pup for walks at least four times a day, and let her roam free in my fenced in backyard. I provide attention and care throughout the day! I'm very respectful not only of my client's pets, but also their homes. I'm very trustworthy and neat/tidy. I've dog sat in many homes both for the day and overnight. I treat other people's property as if it were my own.

About: In a fast paced environment it is easy to overlook our place in the world as animals. Being in close contact with other beings can create connectedness and a sense of place in nature. Simple tasks like dog walking may seem beneath most people, but I see it as an act graciousness and a chance to connect to other beings. As a walker or sitter my goal is to consciously occupy space with your pet. This, for me, means accommodating and changing as situations seem fit. I would also like to stay conscious of any owners wishes and feelings regarding the service I may provide and remember that it is only a service if it works to make their and their pets experience more comfortable.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to help with walks, playtime, and feeding i am currently working part time so my schedule is flexible. I am available on weekdays between 2pm-7pm and available on Saturday between 11am-3pm Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I create a calm, trustworthy environment where dogs feel secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Since I was 10 I've taken care of dogs of all sizes and enjoyed it mainly larger dogs since they are easier to handle.

I have a large yard with a well kept fence and multiple rooms in case your dog needs their own space. Well be outside most of the time.

About: Hi there! My name is Grace. I was a dog owner for a long time, and now I'm hoping to meet some new dogs and help you out in the process. I love to jog, and would be happy to take your dog for a run. I love to play fetch or whatever your dog's favorite game is. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I'm trained as a paramedic, so I'm responsible and cool-headed during emergencies. I love all dogs, but rescues and those scrappy-looking mutts hold a special place in my heart. I have experience with larger breeds as well. There's no dog too big or small for me! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I can devote as much time to your animals as you need! I am available on short notice. I love to stay active, so I love going for walks or playing with animals. I live right across from a park with tons of space to run and play.
