Dog Walking in East English Village, Detroit, MI

“She is fantastic! The first day walking the poor lady had to deal with a torrential downpour with a puppy that has never encountered rain on a walk. She went out of her way to text me to ensure it would be ok to walk her in the weather and also even offered to put a doggy raincoat she had on hand on her! She went out of her way to come visit ahead of time and make me feel comfortable and I would 100% recommend her!”

About: I've had plenty of dogs and raise them to by family dogs. I'm good at getting dogs to listen. Love playing and running around with them. I take them to parks, play catch and etc. I'm a Military Vet I find animals to be the center of my peace. I will be loving, nurturing and caring for all animals in my care. I just ask to be notified of any allergies or previous injuries, do to activities that my be planned for that day. I wouldn't want to return you animal to you in an unhealthy state. I am a huge lover of animals, I been that way since birth. Let me care for your animal, and return them with smiles. I'm also learning how to massage animals. I'm a certified massage therapist so, I'm trying to learn the same thing for animals...

About: Growing up with both large and small dogs, I've always had a deep love for animals. I have two large dogs of my own and enjoy taking care of friends and family’s pups. Whether it’s a walk or a mid-day break, I’m here to make sure your dog gets the love and attention they deserve! Working from home gives me great flexibility. I am available all day on Mondays and Fridays, and occasionally in the evenings on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every dog I walk. I ensure that all dogs are kept on a secure leash, and I’m careful about choosing safe, dog-friendly routes. I’m experienced with both large and small dogs, understanding their unique needs.

“Lauren is just incredible. She is very patient with my big puppy who still needs some lease manners and she offered great feedback on how he did, as well as some tips to help him improve his walking moving forward. I can promise Lauren’s time is valuable- I would recommend anyone who needs to know a good person is tending to their dog to get on Lauren’s books.”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both large and small dogs, I’m passionate about making sure every pup feels loved and well cared for. I've been walking dogs since high school and truly enjoy spending time with all breeds and personalities. As a proud owner of two large dogs myself (a large and a giant breed) I understand the special attention, exercise, and affection they need. Your dog will be in caring, capable hands! I currently work a hybrid job Monday through Friday, with occasional in-office or facility visits, but primarily from home. This means I’m mostly available on weekends, and I can also offer weekday drop-ins or daytime care, especially if your home has Wi-Fi so I can work while keeping your pet company! 😊 I believe an active dog is a happy dog! I love taking dogs on walks around the neighborhood, playing fetch, and giving them time to run and explore. But I also enjoy spending quiet time with the more relaxed pups who just want to curl up on the couch and watch TV. Every dog has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one special.

“Heather was awesome! Rocket was super excited to meet her during the first visit and I knew it will be smooth sailing the rest of the way. Great pictures and videos during walks, good communication to let me know how everything went and very quick to respond. Will recommend Heather to anyone that needs their pet walked or watched for a period of time. Thanks for all your help. Very much appreciated.”

About: Ive always loved pets, and I’ve been a foster home for a local shelter for years before, recently moved back to Detroit and I’m looking to help out with pet sitting for some local people! I currently have a very active husky of my own! I’m a young professional who works entirely from home on a flexible schedule, looking to find some pets to care for! I am a very active person that will go on jogs and walks with dogs. I always go off of what the pets needs are. I love giving noggin pats and making sure pets exercise if possible. Keeping pets happy makes me happy, too!

About: I've been lucky enough to wake up to a 4 legged friend by my side my entire life. I've been surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes including cats, golden retrievers, malamutes - I've found my love for them to grow increasingly with each interaction. From being a child where it was enough to simply love dogs to becoming a responsible adult recognizing the intricate needs of all, I am more than happy to provide the detailed love and care your beloved pet needs. Even my hobbies and career revolve around nurturing and caring for other beings - beyond loving on dogs, I am an avid lover of indoor plants (which means I would be happy to water yours!). With my services, you will be able to feel confident that your beloved 4 legged friends are safe and well cared for! I am currently in grad school for School Psychology and take care of my own indoor cats and cat colony everyday with food, water, litter scooping, etc. I am diligent in asking questions and file information to ensure that the visit/stay goes as smoothly as possible. I am a very organized person (former teacher) and also know how hard/stressful it can be to have someone watch your pets! I try to provide reassurance and information through the stay to ensure your comfort. Safety and animal comfort are my first priority!

About: Hi, I’m Megan — a lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet care provider based in beautiful East English Village. I live with my two friendly, well-socialized dogs who enjoy the company of other calm, respectful pups. I provide a personalized, low-volume boarding experience from my home, where your dog becomes part of our little pack. My services are designed with your pet’s comfort and safety in mind. I only board one guest dog at a time, ensuring constant supervision, individual attention, and a peaceful, low-stress environment. Whether you’re looking for drop-in visits, a walk while you’re at work, or overnight care, I treat every animal like one of my own — with affection, patience, and professional care. I provide updates with every visit, and I’m happy to accommodate custom routines, feeding schedules, and medication administration when needed. Let’s schedule a free meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a great match! Caring for animals is a natural part of my daily life — I structure my routine around it. With two dogs of my own, I’m already up early for walks, feeding, and snuggles. I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, plenty of supervision, and lots of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit my boarding and walking services to just a few clients at a time, I’m able to give each pet my full focus without being overbooked or rushed. Whether I’m doing a drop-in visit, hosting a pup overnight, or stopping by for a midday walk, I plan my calendar so your pet gets reliable, unrushed, high-quality care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities — whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting them in yours. BOARDING AT MY HOME: When boarding in my home, I provide a calm, structured, and low-stress environment by only accepting one guest dog at a time. This allows me to give each pet plenty of individual attention and supervision throughout the day. I have two friendly, well-socialized resident dogs who are used to having guests and do best with other well-mannered pups. I take time to carefully introduce everyone, and I require a meet-and-greet prior to first-time bookings to ensure everyone is a good fit. My home is pet-safe, clean, and set up with cozy resting areas, a large and securely fenced outdoor space, and plenty of enrichment opportunities like walks, playtime, and snuggles. I also follow the pet’s routine as closely as possible to make their stay feel familiar and reassuring. FOR DROP INS I aim to maintain your pet’s routine in their own environment, minimizing disruption and providing consistent care. I refresh water, follow feeding and medication instructions closely, and always leave your home secure and tidy. I also provide visit updates with photos so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Building trust through consistent, compassionate care is what I do best. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them, they’ll be treated like family.

About: I have been working with dogs & cats professionally for 12 years, most recently working in the foster and adoption's office at the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society where I specialized in management of dog behavior cases and senior pets. I was a foster parent for hospice and special needs cats for 4 years, so I am comfortable with a wide range of medications, symptoms, and care - including injections. Prior to working in rescue, I was a full time dog walker for 6 years, and have experience with dogs who may require more precaution and management on walks for issues such as leash reactivity, dog-dog aggression, or stranger danger. I am an advocate for positive reinforcement based training methods, fear free handling, and consent based interactions. While pet sitting is certainly a fun job, it has never been something I take lightly - leaving your best friend/family member with an unfamiliar person can be incredibly scary, so building trust is something I care about deeply. **Note: If you are in a difficult financial situation, I do sometimes offer sliding scale pricing. Depending on the needs of your pet, I am open to discussing price adjustments outside of what I have listed regarding drop-ins, additional pets, etc. - at a meet and great we can talk over care details and come up with something that works for both of us. I recently returned from a work exchange in Southeast Asia at the end of December, so as of now pet sitting is my main gig. My schedule is currently quite flexible, however I cannot commit to sitting dates that are more than 6 weeks in advance. Given my background working with a wide range of pet personalities, safety is always my #1 concern when it comes to interacting with any animal; I am well versed in body language, anxiety disorders, & safe handling techniques. I love to know any and all information about your pet before beginning care so that I can ensure that we are both comfortable. I have really seen it all when it comes to behavior so I don't judge, but I do feel it is extremely important to discuss if your pet has a bite history, known stress triggers, handling sensitive body parts, or other behaviors that may pose a safety concern to me, your pet, or your community. I take your notes, advice, and requests very seriously when it comes to equipment, routine, and diet - only utilizing the tools you provide, unless otherwise discussed. Given my beliefs surrounding humane handling and positive reinforcement, I am not comfortable servicing clients where using aversive equipment such as shock collars is required (I would be happy to provide resources on some alternatives).
