Dog Walking Cohoctah

About: We have a chihuahua mix at home but take care of our neighbors dogs too. Love a good dog walk and playtime! Enjoy cats and taking care of them as well. I have summers off so I am available during the week and some weekends as well. I can be available during most times and can’t wait to play with your pets! Drop in pet care service with no overnight abilities. Happy to stop by and feed, play, or walk your pet. Or just as simple as letting your dog out for a potty break if that is all you need.

About: I don’t just watch pets, I connect with them. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I bring calm, intuitive care that helps pets feel safe, happy, and understood. I’m certified in Cat and Dog First Aid through the American Red Cross, so your furry family member is in capable hands, whether they’re a playful puppy, a wise senior, or a shy kitty who needs a gentle approach. I’m reliable, flexible, and endlessly patient, with a creative touch that keeps pets engaged and stress-free while you’re away. From energetic walks to quiet cuddle sessions, I tailor care to each pet’s unique personality. Think of me as your pet’s new favorite human. I also have a background in video and photography and I take great pet photos :) As a freelancer with a flexible schedule, I structure my days around important priorities, like your pet’s routine. I’m available weekdays and weekends, and I can easily accommodate feeding times, play sessions, and royal check-ins. During drop-in visits, I treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I give my own. I’m reliable and on time, and I stick closely to your pet’s established routine to keep things familiar and stress-free. Whether it’s refreshing food and water, cleaning up, or spending quality time together, I make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and well cared for in their own space.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life. From dogs to hermit crabs, kitties to turtles. But dogs have always had my heart the most! (🤫 don’t tell the others) I am a very calm and steady person and have always had a comforting effect on animals and people alike. Caregiving is something I come by naturally. So when I’m given the responsibility to care for someone, I take that very seriously. And I enjoy it! I will make sure your precious fur child feels safe, loved, and has so much fun! And I’m always happy to provide pictures and updates of their adventures along the way! I have a very flexible schedule at the moment. I’m available at most times during the day and able to move around my own schedule when needed. I love taking them for walks, playing with them and giving them lots of attention. I would very much appreciate knowing what your routine is, or what your expectations are for your pets care. I will stick as closely as possible to what your fur baby knows and loves.

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, which has given me a lifelong understanding of pets’ needs, personalities, and routines. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve regularly dog sat for family friends for extended periods of time, both in their homes and at my own. What sets me apart is the safe, comfortable environment I can provide—my home has plenty of indoor space for pets to relax and play, along with a spacious yard where they can run around and get exercise. There are no children or other household factors that may concern owners, allowing me to provide a calm, attentive, and stress-free experience for every pet in my care. As an online summer student, I have a flexible schedule, reliable transportation, and ample time to provide dependable pet care, walks, visits, exercise, and companionship. I provide a safe, caring environment in my spacious home or yours, with dog walking, feeding, exercise, supervision, and companionship. My ample yard, quiet dirt road, and lakeside location keep pets secure and away from busy traffic.

About: I have always been around animals my whole life and grew up with multiple pets, caring for them since they were babies up until they were seniors. I’m 25 years old, going to school at Eastern Michigan University to become an elementary teacher. I’m very active and love to be outdoors! I love and treat my pets as if they were family and plan to do the same for your fur babies! I‘ve cat sat for my aunt and uncle and have pet sat for my friends and family as well as past clients on rover, and have worked on a farm in the past caring for horses, barn kitties and dogs. I really enjoy caring for all animals and i’m looking forward to care for yours as if they were my own! I’m a fast learner and very dependable so if your pets need any special treatments you could just let me know and show me how you approach it and I will do the same! My late St. Bernard was on heart medication so I know how to trick even the stubbornest dogs to take their pills or eat if they’re old and don’t have much of an appetite as they used to. I have recently moved to the Howell area and live in an apartment, however my complex is super dog friendly and my apartment has a big (unfenced) yard behind it (would have to keep your dogs leashed if they’re boarded here) with many trails! I’m looking forward to hearing from you and taking care of your furry friends 😊🐾 My schedule is very open for the summer, since I’m on summer break before I begin student teaching in late August. I’m available Monday-Friday, as well as some weekends! I frequently dog sit for my friends and family, with most of my experience being with dogs between a year-fourteen years old, and same goes for cats. When I enter someone’s home I make sure to never approach their pets and let them approach me (because I know it can be nerve-wracking for them to meet a new person at times). I usually let dogs out every hour or more if needed and enjoy going for walks with them or playing fetch or any other games to keep them entertained. I follow the instructions given by the parents of our fluffy friends very closely, feed times, medicine times, treat times, etc. If I need to I usually set reminders so I have a backup reminder if needed. Along with caring for their pets I also clean up after them, litter boxes, toys, their outside duties, and whatever the pet parent instructs. I currently just moved to the Howell area and have not gotten a pet of my own yet, however I can pet sit your pets at my apartment if they’re potty trained, or can take care of them at your house as well!

About: I have owned cats my entire life and our family currently have 6 cats (2 are my daughter’s). We have a Miniature Australian Shepard named Rooney! In the past our family had a Brittany Spaniel named Sydney and a Maltese named Jeter. They have all taught me something different, not to mention that just when you think you KNOW everything about animals, you learn something new! 🤣🐾 When it comes to experience, I have my 18-year old daughter to thank for introducing me to the pet care field and helping to grow my experience with farm animals (horses, goats, pigs, donkeys, sheep, chickens, ducks, and the occasional stray barn cat🥰🐾) as well as cats and dogs. Going along with Emma made me realize that this is something I want to do all of the time! So whether you have cats, dogs, caged animals/reptiles, or more, I’d love to help take care of them while you are away. Giving you peace of mind while making your pets feel safe and loved is my number one priority. I take pride in being a kind, honest, and trustworthy adult that would love to earn the loyalty of your commitment as one of your regular pet sitters. Your pets are as important to me as they are to you while you are away. I will check, recheck and then check again to make certain every step has been followed to ensure that your loved ones are well cared for, while looking out for anything that might be “off”. You can’t be too careful and sometimes an animals’ “signs” for need or distress can be quite subtle. So I never just pop in and out, but rather I facilitate well-visits! That means carefully following your detailed instructions and care notes. I always welcome as much input from you, along with a Meet and Greet prior to caring for your fur babies, so you can introduce us, help create trust, and provide me with the important details of your day-to-day routine. This helps me to best provide routine and structure (mixed with lots of spoiling and extra treats) for your little ones. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies! 🥰🐾💝 I work full time as a teacher and tutor during the week, but Friday evening and weekends are wide open for helping you take a weekend getaway or enjoying an all-day getaway without your fur baby being left alone. I know how hard it is for me to leave my pets. The few trips I’ve taken were only possible because of caring neighbors that watched our cats/dog and sent lots of pictures for reassurance! ❤️ I am a rule-follower and will use your detailed directions to take care of your fur/feather/hair babies just as you describe! It’s my main goal to make your pets feel safe, loved and cared for while giving you peace of mind so your absence is a treat for both of you! 🎉🧁🍭🦴🍖

“Lauren did an amazing job with my pup Robin! She was so gentle and attentive with Robin. Lauren took the time to make Robin feel so comfortable before they took off on their walk. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone that is looking for a kind and nice person to take care of their pets!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and there's nothing I enjoy more than making pets feel safe, loved, and right at home while their families are away. To give some insight on my experience, I have volunteered at my local humane society, caring for both dogs and cats. I then spent some time as a kennel attendant at a dog boarding facility where I cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs. That experience alone taught me the importance of patience, routine, and attention to detail, especially when it comes to special diets and individualized care. Over the years, I've also been the go to pet sitter for friends and family, caring for dogs and cats of all ages. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra cuddles, I'm happy to match their routine and make sure they feel comfortable. At home, I'm owned by my sweet gray cat, Misty. Keeping her happy has made providing constant love and companionship second nature. When your pet is with me, they're not just being watched, they're being cared for like one of my own. I can't wait to meet your furry family member!! 🤍 I'm currently working full time in the restaurant industry. 90% of the time my schedule is 4pm-11:30pm Fri-Teu leaving some midday and late night availability. Please don't hesitate to reach out if your request falls outside of my availability as I may be able to accommodate if there's enough time ahead. I look forward to meeting you and your furry pet! 🤍 I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where every pet receives personalized care based on their routine and needs. I carefully follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, ensure plenty of exercise and give endless affection. In clients' homes, I respect their space, maintain their pet's normal routine, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and that hands-on experience is what I bring to every walk. I understand dog body language, pacing, leash manners, and how to read when a dog needs a break or a bit more activity — not from a course, but from years of actually living with dogs day to day. I treat every walk the same way I would for my own dog: attentive, on time, and focused entirely on their safety and comfort for the full duration. Whether your dog is high-energy, a little nervous around new people, or just needs a steady routine, I adjust to what they need rather than running a one-size-fits-all walk. You can expect clear communication before and after every visit, so you always know exactly how things went. My schedule is flexible throughout the day, so dog walking isn't squeezed into a narrow window — it's a real part of my daily routine. That means I can offer consistent mid-morning, afternoon, or early evening walks, and I'm also able to accommodate last-minute requests or changes in timing without it being a scramble. If your schedule shifts week to week, I can usually adjust to match it. Safety is the first thing I think about with every walk. When I arrive, I double-check that all doors and gates are secure before I bring your dog out, and I make sure the leash and collar or harness are properly fitted before we leave — no slipping out mid-walk. I stick to routes I know well, avoid off-leash areas unless specifically asked, and keep a close eye on other dogs, traffic, and anything that could startle or spook your dog. I always carry water on hot days and adjust the pace or length of the walk based on weather and how your dog is doing that day. Before I leave, I make sure your home is exactly as I found it — doors locked, lights as they were, nothing out of place. If anything ever comes up during a walk, you'll hear from me right away, not after the fact.

About: In our home every dog is a priority to us. We schedule activities around their needs and energy levels. We love to play outside, go for walks around our neighborhood and snuggle before bed. Our puppy is very high energy and loves to make new friends. The dogs will be in a safe environment, with a fenced yard, and will be given a bed time snack! We allow animals on all furniture within our home and in our bed to sleep at night, we also have a pallet dog bed available in our room. We are available most nights and weekends and are willing to keep your pup for an extended period of time. We would love schedule a day to meet you and your dog soon!

“Alexandria is great with our two very different dogs! Herbie is older and loud and Lola is young and energetic but quiet. Even in the current deep freeze she got them out for me (despite Herbie’s protests)! Thank you 😊”

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was little. My parents got a puppy when I was born and we grew up together. I now have two fur babies of my own, a dog named Nala and a cat named Barbie. I currently work a full time job as a preschool teacher so I have time to care for your fur babies on the weekend the most or on the weekdays at 5pm. It would be best suited for me to care your babies at their homes. I would make sure to get a good idea of what their daily routine looks like at home so I can keep them feeling comfortable and relaxed.

About: My name is Alexis I am a 21 year old animal lover. I worked at the humane society of Huron valley and have for about 1 year previously and previously worked at a boarding facility for cats and dogs.My current job is a vet receptionist/ vet assistant at VCA of Hamburg. I have experience with just about every kind of animal that you could keep as a pet. I have experience feeding them, cleaning their kennels/cages, medicating the dogs (we do not medicate the cats where I work), walking them and some small bits of clicker/leash training as well. I would love to care for your fur baby! My availability is I am free the full day on Tuesdays and Sundays otherwise it would be around my work schedule . Every other day of the week it would have to be after I get off of work, typically I am off between the 6pm-7pm range. It is my full time job to take care of animals, it is something I have always had a passion for and I was lucky enough to make a career out of it. I would not be able to provide boarding as I live in a small apartment with 2 cats who are not fond of dogs. In your home though I am willing to pretty much do whatever you would like, I’m comfortable crating animals, walking them, cleaning up after them….etc

About: I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I focus on providing consistent care, following routines closely, and keeping owners informed every step of the way. I work in education with summers free and much flexibility. I am happy to provide care at the time of day your pets need it! My home offers a safe and clean environment for pets. I have 3 cats who get along with other animals. In others’ homes, I offer respect for the space and reliability to follow instructions.

“Friendly, professional and always on time! Everything you want in a dog walker!”

About: I currently work as a veterinary assistant part time which I am incredibly passionate about! I love working with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, reptiles, exotics, rodents.
