“Maryam came out and met Chase and I prior to her first walk with him! She was really wonderful with him and was familiar with our community so very helpful! She allowed time for Chase to sniff her and get comfortable with her while we talked. I appreciate her calm but confident presence! There first walk went great!”
About: I love all dogs very much! I have always had a dog my entire life and I think I always will! I am a very active person so I will play and walk as long as your dog desires! I used to nanny quite often in 2019 and 2020 but things got busy when I got pregnant again so I’m ready to jump back in and take care of your pets! I am available Monday-Thursday 9am-11am and some afternoons sometimes and some Saturdays sporadically. I know how to cuddle, play, run, and love your babies as much as you do! They will be very well loved and taken care of as I have 2 dogs and one kitty of my own and I have 3 kids who love animals! I am a SAHM and pick up my kiddos at different times so I’m on the road a bit which is perfect so I can come and help out your fur babies! I always keep a very close eye on your furry friends and will make sure they are safe at all times! I love to give animals love and attention that they need!
About: I love walking dogs! I have a dog of my own (Winnie) that I have trained. She’s a poodle/schnauzer mix and is a bit of a troublemaker. I am very familiar with high energy dogs and can handle them well. Although my dog looks small, she used to love to pull me on walks. So I’m familiar with handling pullers! I work in the afternoons so I’m looking to fill up my mornings. I love long walks so don’t be afraid to request me for an extended time/distance. If you book me, I’d ideally like to be done walking by 12:30pm so I can be ready for my part-time job at 2pm Mon-Thu. Friday availability varies. I know every dog is different so I’m very attentive to each dog’s needs. I do not rush dogs on walks. I’m very hyper-vigilant so I’m great at accommodating each dog’s needs. I walk with my belt bag filled with treats, extra poop bags, bug spray, sun screen, etc. so I’m ready for whatever comes my way.

I’d love to help keep your pets happy and well-exercised! Send a message anytime! I work a full time job outside of Rover with a rotating schedule, primarily on morning shifts. I also have an hour long lunch break each day. I am more than happy to do drop in visits or walks during my lunch break, as well as before or after my shifts, to ensure your pet is fully taken care of! I have tons of experience walking, playing, and taking care of animals throughout my life. Each animal has its own soul and personality, just like us humans. I am welcoming to all animals needs and behavior levels. However I can help, I am willing to do so. I look forward to learning more about your pet and creating an overall good experience. :)

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Byron Center. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
