Dog Walking In English Village

About: I am trained in Dog Behavior and Management from my previous job at Camp Bow Wow. I’m bubbly, kind, and patient with humans and dogs. I recently moved away from home where my family dog lives. But when I was home I did all feeding, bathing, walks, playing, and training. I have a fenced in backyard and friendly neighborhood dogs that love to play (if your pup is interested and comfortable). Availability 24/7 for walks.

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. From raising dogs from puppyhood to their senior years to caring for my own beloved cats, I understand the deep bond we share with our pets. My flexible work schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your furry family members, ensuring they never feel lonely. Through my years of experience with friends' pets and on Rover, I have cared for animals of all ages and temperaments. I am well-equipped to handle: Diverse Needs: Experience with high-energy breeds, high-anxiety personalities, and pets with permanent physical disabilities. Specialized Care: Comfortable with senior needs, administering medications (pill takers), and managing picky eaters. Routine Consistency: I aim to follow your pet’s existing routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and separation anxiety. Frequent Updates: I know how it feels to miss your fur babies, so I prioritize sending plenty of photos and updates to keep your mind at ease. Whether your pet is big or small, they will receive the same patient, loving care I give my own. I look forward to meeting your best friend! Due to my flexible job, I am able to care for a pet any time of day. It's pretty rare for me to have time restrictions. I always do my very best to maintain your pets daily routine so to keep anxiety levels down and make sure both pet and parent feel comfortable.

About: I have a tendency to treat all animals as my own, and give them the utmost love and care. Not only do animals benefit from my care, but what I get back in return from animals is just as important. I grew up constantly being around pets, and grew up with dogs. I raised two dogs on my own and they now live with my parents so I currently have no pets, which has left a little hole in my heart! I have a loving home on the third floor of apartment building, where there is much room to play and lounge. I have a fenced-in backyard where there is even more room for fun. There are many areas we can go for walks, and also a dog park just down the street. I am also working from home so have a lot of time to devote to dogs.

“Callie did a fantastic job taking my dog out for walks this week! She is friendly and easy to communicate with, engaging and caring toward my pup, and I would absolutely reach out to her again for pet care.”

“Randi is wonderful and I highly recommend her to other loving pet parents out there! From the introduction to scheduled walks, Randi remains compassionate and caring to my pups! I wish I could take her with me to my upcoming move LOL!”

About: I come from a long line of dog lovers and was taught from a young age how to be both caring and firm with furbabies. I have a very flexible schedule and have plenty of time to dote on your furbaby. With some advance notice we can craft a perfect play date. I treat my furbaby clients like family. Lots of attention and care. Other than a happy dog, you’ll never know I was in your home.

“Great job! I was in a pinch and Jack was able to come walk my little buddy. Gave him an extra long walk in the afternoon! A true animal lover. Would definitely recommend and use again!”

About: CCS Grad Student based West Village. Grew up in a Shitzu home, but I only get to see her on weekends. However, I've been taking care of small dogs and pet-sitting dogs and cats for fam/friends for the last 4 years. I'm a full-time grad student, so aside from evening or afternoon classes, I'm flexible. Morning and/or Evening walking + feeding schedules are no issue. I’m a morning person! I've cared for pets in my own home or their own, and my primary focus is always making sure they are comfortable. Usually, that means trying my best to follow their normal routines.

“Really great dog walker! Have booked with her multiple times and Chloe is always well taken care of while I’m gone. Highly recommended!”

“Melanie did a great job with our dog. She was very communicative, prompt and spent extra time with our pup. I’d request her again for more dog walking and would highly recommend her services.”

“Brittany is amazing and always goes above and beyond! My pup is so lucky to have her!!”

About: Hi there! I've had pets of all kinds my entire life, so I'm very comfortable with all sorts of animals. My mom and I began fostering dogs for a rescue when I was very young so I've also been handling big groups of dogs of all ages for most of my life. My mom runs a local dog rescue and offers training, so she's definitely honed my dog handling skills quite a bit. I love dogs of all sizes, especially big dogs! My own dog at home is not very energetic, so I would love to play with some more active dogs as well. My schedule can be pretty flexible and I'm often on-the-go. Please let me know if there's any special accommodations your pet needs. I'm looking forward to hearing from you! I currently work two part-time jobs with flexible schedules and relatively short shifts, so I'm able to care for pets easily around my daily schedule. I have experience with dogs with a wide variety of temperaments and needs, so I'm able to cater my approach to each individual pet. I'm big on respecting dogs' boundaries, especially in their own spaces, because my own dog is very shy.

About: Why Pet Parents Choose Me 🐾Trusted by repeat local clients - References available. 🐾Known for being reliable, caring, and communicative. 🐾Certificate in Cat and Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) 🐾5 years of experience as a Veterinary Assistant 🐾Fostering experience, including raising bottle-fed kittens and fostering a DACC rescue dog who was once on death row - who now has the happiest forever home! Hi, I’m Monica DeSpain— a lifelong animal lover, experienced pet sitter, and proud pet mom to one sweet senior dog and three quirky cats. I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years, and I truly love what I do. My background includes 5 years working at two veterinary hospitals as a veterinary assistant, volunteering at the animal shelter, and fostering pets in my home. These experiences gave me a strong foundation in animal care long before I officially started offering pet sitting. Since August 2024, I’ve been providing trusted, compassionate pet sitting services to families in the Grosse Pointe area. ​ I also currently run a small online business from home, which gives me the flexibility to offer weekday and weekend visits, dog walking, and personalized drop-in care. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets — not just for feeding and potty breaks, but for love, attention, and consistency. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level — and I meet them where they’re at. Whether it’s energetic play, gentle senior care, medication routines, or just being a calm presence, I tailor every visit to your pet’s unique needs. My schedule is flexible and I do my best to accommodate yours. Let’s work together to plan for your pets needs. I should be able to accommodate most schedules. I will care for your pet with the same loving, caring and kindness that I have for my own pets. Most animals find me easy to be comfortable around.

“Jeannette did such a wonderful job over the weekend! Gus had a blast and she sent so many pictures and gave us all the details. Will be booking her again!! :)”

“I had a regular walker cancel for a life interruption last minute on my midterm test day and Lukis was wonderful. It was as if they were Kronk’s caretaker for months. He was happy and I had no worries about him while I was testing. I would definitely go to them again for any caretaking needs in the future.”

“Annie loved her walk with Abbey! Abbey was very friendly, & knowledgeable! We'll definitely book again & recommend her!”

About: Hello! My name is Avery ..... I have had dogs all throughout my life and plan to keep it that way! As a kid I grew up with with two beagles, a chocolate lab, a pit bull, and most recently a rescue shar pei/ lab mix. I love seeing every animals personality shine through and spoiling them with love and attention. Each one of my dogs has loved the outdoors (almost as much as me) and had lives full of adventure and exercise. I have also lived with cats and love them (through my previous roommate). I love animals of all breeds and sizes and would love the chance to meet yours! I am a current student so my schedule is semi flexible at the moment. Currently unavailable/working Tuesday evenings (although i pick up other shifts when im able). I try my best to keep my calendar updated to reflect my availability, please reach out if you have any questions! I am super active and would love to spend time outside walking with your pet if you' like and the weather allows! If not we can spend time in-doors playing.

About: I have grown up always having a houseful of animals. This included cats and dogs as well as small rodents (mice, hamster,ect) and livestock. Now I have two dogs, two cats, and a hedgehog. I have owned my dogs for 13 years and the cats became part of the family a couple of years ago. My experience with animals ranges from daily care needs to caring for an animal with other needs. I am also patient with animals that are still learning or have slight behavioral issues. Currently, I am a full time student completing my degree online. I have open avalibility for your pet care needs. I am even open to a "daycare" situation. I have two dogs and two cats at my own home. The cats have their own space if needed and my dogs would love to have a friend to play with. I also have plenty of room to give any animal alone space if needed. I have a fenced yard and live walking distance to a park. I am open to board your furbabies while you are at work during the day or overnight if needed. If you prefer your babies stay at home I can offer potty breaks and walks during the day. I understand the struggle of finding good care for furbabies when you have a demanding schedule! I am open to services that work for you!

“So glad that I hired Breanna for walking my son Chico! She sent pics and regular updates, and was so kind. I felt very comfortable leaving Chico in her care. Would definitely recommend!”
