Dog Walking in Forest Hills

“Ariel’s the best! She made sure my shy pup got comfortable with her before talking her on a walk, gave her her medications and took her on nice long walks. Highly recommend Ariel, a kind, caring sitter!”

About: Hi there! My name is Averi. I have always been passionate about providing animals with the proper love and care they deserve. I have well over 5 years of experience in dog walking and pet-sitting both in my own home as well as the owner's home. I am also experienced in caring for special needs and senior pets. I currently live in a pet free home where your special little friend will get all of the love and attention they need! My home is located in a pet friendly residential neighborhood, perfect for walks and playtime. In the past, I have rescued two dogs, one with special medical needs. I trained both dogs and gave them a loving environment where they lived happy lives! I am currently a student in college, so I have plenty of time to devote to caring for your fur babies! My schedule is currently very flexible. I am available any day for the next few months. I am available any time for dog walks. I have availability on weekdays as well as weekends. I have a spacious yard perfect for potty breaks and play time. The neighborhood has multiple routes for walks, as well as a park nearby. My home is pet friendly. I do have a large dog crate, if needed. I am open to coming to the client's home, but overnight boarding in my own home is ideal. I am happy to accommodate what you would like for your pet, as my mission is to ensure that you feel comfortable and confident in your decision to have me care for your pet. I can assure you that I will provide your pet will all of my love and care, as if they were my own. It is my top priority and responsibility to take great care of your beloved pet.

About: I truly love caring for animals. I focus on comfort, routine, and gentle companionship - whether that’s a cozy lap buddy while I crochet or read, or a happy walking partner who gets me outside. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. At this time, I’m available for lunchtime and evening care during the week, as well as weekend sitting. I’m happy to discuss your needs and explore options that work best. Privacy and trust are very important to me, so I prefer to care for pets in a way that respects both. I’m happy to welcome well-trained, non-aggressive pets into my home, enjoy walks, and spend quality time together. I generally don’t stay in a client’s home for extended periods.

About: Warning: your pet will be returned to you overly loved and cared for! My goal is to provide your dog lots of 1:1 time leaving them happy and you feeling confident. I have grown up with dogs my entire life. When my 16 year old Puggle crossed the rainbow bridge a couple years back, it was the first time in my life I was without a pet. While I’m not ready to bring another pet into our home full time, I would love the opportunity to love your fur baby just as if they were my own! I have experience with puppies through senior dogs. As a stay at home mom, I have flexibility to walk, play, and cuddle as needed! I have 3 young kids who are eager to give (an appropriate) amount of love to your fur baby. I have a fenced in backyard and gates throughout the house to provide adequate safety while still allowing for plenty of freedom. I am familiar with crates as well if that is something your pet is more comfortable with.

About: I have years of experience caring for animals, from dogs to cats & rabbits. Pet care is an area that I am thrilled to be now pursuing on a higher level. Animals have captured my heart for years, and this is something that will not change now or in the future. I am someone who pays attention to details and always has animal welfare at the forefront of my mind. I do not doubt that I am someone to be trusted with your animals. I look forward to potentially working with you! I am fortunate in that I have a fairly flexible routine currently. This allows for pet care jobs and responsibilities to be easier to take on. I am happy to watch your animals in your home if all checks out. What might it look like? I could stop by once or twice a day (‘depending) to make sure your pet(s) are well and everything is running smoothly. For example, I just wrapped up pet sitting for someone I know in the area & she gave me a spare key for her place. This is just what made sense & what she was comfortable with at the time. She left some realistic instructions for me & all went well. It was a win-win situation. You just need help with dog walking? I am happy to consider that as well!

About: Hi! I’m Alexa, a reliable, organized, patient, and caring animal lover who is excited to give your pets the same love and attention I would give my own. 🐾 I enjoy staying active and would love to take your dog on walks, adventures to the park, or simply provide comforting companionship at home. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐶🤍 I recently graduated with my BFA and am currently living in Grand Rapids with a flexible schedule until further notice ☀️ Since I have a lot more flexibility in my day-to-day routine, pet sitting is a perfect fit for me. I love being able to spend my time with animals, get outside for walks, and provide pets with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Whether your dog needs an active adventure, a little extra playtime, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to make them a part of my daily routine! I am happy to provide everything your pet needs, including playtime, walks, feeding, bathroom breaks, baths, and plenty of companionship. I understand how important it is to come home to a happy, comfortable pet — and a clean space. My own dogs have a habit of getting into the trash when I’m away, so I know firsthand that unexpected messes happen. I’m more than willing to tidy up and make sure your home is left just as you’d want it.

“Fantastic, very reliable. Very accommodating.”

“This was our initial walk for introduction and it could not have gone better. Cooper can be a bit reactive and that did not phase Daniel one bit! At one point Daniel bent over to tie his shoe and Cooper went in for a smooch opportunity! I am thrilled!!!!! The boys are thrilled! Daniel is terrific, kind and patient. Welcome aboard to our pack ?”

About: My family has always had at least one dog throughout my whole lifetime so I had a lot of experience with dogs and exposure to different breeds. Since I moved to college I have dog sat for a couple of different families, so I know how to meet the around the clock needs of dogs. I enjoy going for walks and I enjoy having a companion, so I would love to walk or play with your dogs! I have most availability early mornings and evenings as well as weekends! I work from home usually once a week so feel free to message me even if you have a midday need one day! I enjoy going on daily walks and would love to take your dog with me! I am open to watching your pets overnight, but at this point in time I would be willing to watch your dog in your home! I am also willing to come let your pups out, take them for walks, and even just play with them.

“Tayler has been super helpful, was able to accomodate my 11th hour requests to check in on my dog, feed and walk him. My dog appears to have taken to her quite well.”

“Katie is the best! She is very good with my dog, and very kind and communicative. Thanks so much, Katie! We will definitely always use her anytime and recommend her to anyone.”

About: I have two cats and a crested gecko, so I’m used to complex pet care. As a nursing student, I also have general medical knowledge as well as compassion. I’ve grown up near my grandparents who always have a dog, and over the past several months I have helped care for their mini golden doodle puppy. I work 2-3 twelve hour shifts per week at the hospital, leaving the rest of my week completely open. I’m available any day of the week at any time. I am able to crate your dog in your home, bring them in/outside, and I’m always up for a good cuddle session or some playtime!
