Dog Walking Green Acres

“Came on very short notice to take our dog for a walk. Excellent communication and flexibility! Did a true 30 min walk as requested. Definitely recommend”

“Suzanne is great..She was able to walk our dog in the neighborhood weekly and he loved it and he also loved her. She was very kind, professional and prompt.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by and taking care of dogs since I was young. I have experience with all ages, giving medications and with handling reactive dogs. I am currently working full time (4-5 days) as a server/bartender. My shifts are short(4-5hrs) and usually in the late morning or early evening so I always have part of my day to dedicate to your pet. I do not offer boarding services but I am more than happy to visit your pet and make sure they are comfortable, fed and walked if needed. I enjoy interacting with animals and assessing their body language to meet their needs.

About: I’ve been around all sorts of animals my whole life, but specifically specialize in dog care. I have three years of experience dog daycare, trained in giving a variety of breeds nail trims and baths, and currently studying to become dog trainer certified. Aside from that experience, I am also trained in dog first aid and cpr. I highly prioritize your loved one’s safety first. I do personally love taking care of senior animals. They go at their own pace and I will always be patient and accommodating for them what ever their special needs may be. No matter what age your furry friend is, or breed, or size, I will treat your pet with the utmost care and love like they were my own. I currently have open availability with a lot of flexibility right now. My times on here will always be current so there is no confusion in availability. I wake up around five every morning and don’t go to sleep until 10pm, so there is flexibility where I can be to help out. I do walk everywhere, but will always show up right on time to make sure your pets are taken care of. As mentioned before I am trained in dog first aid and CPR. Aside from that I am well versed in illnesses or complications your pet may have and will collaborate with you for anything else health related. If things become unsafe for either your dog or myself I will let you know as soon as I am aware of it, and we can go from there together as well. While on walks with your furry friend, they will be my number one priority. I won’t have my head in my phone or take them somewhere that’s not appropriate. If anything is to your dislike, please let me know so we can either work it out or go our separate ways.

About: I have had dogs since I was born. I have experience dealing with training puppies as well as dealing with senior dogs. I will follow your instructions for care to the T because I know how important it is for dogs to have stable training and schedules. I will take your dog to the park, out on a walk, on a run, or with me around town. In my mind dogs are part of the family and I will treat them as one of my own for as long as I have the privilege to take care of them. I have two rescues, both fixed that get along great with other dogs. I foster for several rescues so i know how to deal with different temperaments of dogs. Your dog will receive the same care as mine and all the same walks/runs/play time. I work from home so I am able to take your dog outside, for walks, and ensure they are getting the exercise they need to thrive. I have a fenced in yard, gated front porch, and a gate on the stairs. The dogs will have full access to the basement (dog proofed) and first floor. Access to the top floor will be for bedtime (if the routine is the dog sleeps in the bed). We also have a playpen and crates here at the house.

“Gary is the best!! He's so amazing with my pups! They love him and really enjoy their walks with him. And, he really helped me out when I found myself in need of a walker on short notice. Can't say enough how thankful I am for him & Rover.com!!”

About: I had a wonderful dog named Miles who passed in 2021. He was my first experience with my own animal friend and it was one of the best experiences of my life. He needed a lot of care in his last couple of years (he died when he was 16) as he had arthritis and other age related issues that required a lot of love and patience. Currently I have a cat named Alice who is a sweet orange cat with lots of personality. I look forward to making some new animal friends! I currently work full time two miles from my house so I am able to come home for a long lunch break when needed. For over night stays a Friday through Sunday would work best for me so that I can provide lots of attention to your pet. I care for my cat by providing her with a stimulating environment. Lots of pets, lots of love, and attention. I would do the same for your beloved animal friend.

About: Hi there! I’m Rhiannon — a lifelong animal lover and former professional dog groomer of 5 years. I’ve spent years caring for pups of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby in someone else’s hands. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or keeping up with your dog’s routine, I treat every pet like my own. Reliable, calm, and attentive — your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I currently work part-time remotely, which gives me the perfect balance to dedicate plenty of focused time to pet care. My flexible schedule allows me to plan my remote work around walks, feedings, and playtime — so your pet always gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s morning, mid-day, or evening visits, I’m able to adjust my hours to fit your pet’s needs and routine. When I care for pets in their own home, my top priority is keeping them comfortable, safe, and stress-free in their familiar space. I follow your routine closely — feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions — so your pet feels secure and cared for just like you’re there. I always treat your home with the same respect I’d want for mine: tidy, mindful, and trustworthy. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and in good hands. With 5 years of experience as a professional dog groomer, I’m confident reading animal behavior and providing calm, reliable care no matter the breed or personality.

About: I grew up with two cats, fish, a guinea pig and a dog! I started taking care of animals officially when I was 14. My neighbors hired me to either walk their dogs, pet sit during trips, or just check in on them during the day. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats. Some of the neighbors that hired me had me coming back for years every day to either walk there dog, let there dogs out or feed their cat. I also have experience with overnight pet care. Currently looking for a part-time job in Burlington, so my hours are very flexible and I have open availability for all your pet care needs! I always make sure that I understand very clearly all the details for caring for someone’s pet. Every pet is unique and requires different things. I am 100% transparent and appreciate communication. I always make sure to double check everything and I value your pets safety and well being just as much as my own.

About: Besides taking care of dogs the majority of my life, I’ve been working in the animal care field for over 10 years, from pet services to working on the acclaimed television series, “The Dog Whisperer”. I also have the necessary obedience and training skills from working with “Doggie Docs”, a service that creates video documentaries of your popular pet and other services! I have a profound knowledge of proper training procedures and health assessment that ensures your pup will be in very capable and loving hands. I will evaluate individual behavior, nutritional needs, and your dog’s overall fitness then adapt my services. I always strive to provide a safe and fun environment, to the point your pup won’t ever want to leave. I met my first dog when I was about four years old. We called him Yo Yo and he was the most gentle and sweet soul. That was the beginning of the end for me when it comes to my great love affair with our furry friends. Yo Yo would follow me around just to make sure I was okay, and at any sign of distress, he’d start licking me and wagging his tail to show that I was protected and loved without judgement. I was also a huge dog movie fan as a kid. The original “Benji” had such an enormous effect, so much so, when I moved to Los Angeles, I actually sought out the director of the film so I could learn more about dog training. Since then, I’ve had many dogs come into my life, even four simultaneously at one point! I’ve volunteered at animal shelters across the LA and Detroit areas, including fostering dogs. Unfortunately, I’m without a pup right now, but that’s where yours comes in. I get my dog fix while helping their humans? That’s a win-win situation in my book. I work full time, but I have a lot of freedom at my job, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Your pup’s needs will be my primary focus. Sometimes I work from home or at the office, but it’s only a 10-minute drive away. I’m an active person and I thoroughly enjoy going out with the dogs and get a round of running or playtime with them. I also have an extensive DVD collection so if your dog likes classic movies and prefers chilling on the couch, my place will be heaven. I pretty much let dogs get assimilated to my home for a bit before any fun time starts. I'm always with them on an emotional level especially when their owner first leaves them at the home. It must be scary for them, so I try to make them as comfortable as possible. I’m a super laid-back, respectful, considerate guy, and I always strive to be calm and collected. I don’t take this responsibility lightly––dogs are your family––which means they become a part of mine.

About: I got started dog-sitting as a teenager, because every family I baby-sat for had dogs as well. I've spent years walking and taking care of dogs, though I've never had one of my own. I love dogs, but through my adult life so far, I haven't lived in an apartment complex that allowed them. I am up for long walks and playtime. I also just moved to the Detroit-area from Kalamazoo, and walking dogs seems like a great way to get to know the neighborhoods.

About: I have been caring for family, friends and neighbors dogs and cats for 15 years. Walking, feeding, administering treats, administering medications, grooming, vet trips, playing, and all of the snuggles. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the day; Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 6:00 pm with a little weekend availability. I do apologize, but at the moment I am unavailable to care for your pets in my own home, as I have two cats of my own and no fenced-in yard.

About: Hello! My name is Liz ! I work at an Ed tech company and I am a life long dog lover. I have a very sweet 3 old German shepherd mix named Onna who loves to meet people, meet dogs and accompany me on coffee runs! ** If your dog is missing some puppy play dates Onna and I would be happy to schedule a visit or a walk together! ** Growing up my family had black labs and a german shepherd. I have a huge soft spot for big dogs and love to be outside with a dog. I am naturally patient with kind dogs and have good instincts in any expected or unexpected situation that will inevitably come along when pets are involved. I treat all dogs like they are my best friend. Once I get to know your dog I will likely greet them before I say hello to you! I understand that life is busy and your dog is the most loved member of your household so you want to keep them happy, healthy, and well loved and I cannot wait to help contribute to that! I work remotely with a flexible schedule so I am open to meeting with your dog when it works for all of you. My dog and I walk twice a day so if you are open to meeting my dog before hand they can join our schedule! I have a fenced in yard and if you are interested in meeting my dog before hand we’d love to make It a dog play date.

About: I have been caring for both cats and dogs my entire life, personally and professionally. This includes disabled + senior care! I do my best to match the energy & demeanor of each animal; if they are extra active & playful, I’m prepared to keep up! If they are more timid & anxious, I’m very gentle, patient, & soft spoken. I love animals a lot & I’m a natural when it comes to meeting their needs. I have an office job 3 days a week as well as a 4-year old but my time is shared and very flexible. I’m free by 4pm every single day and weekends are open. I have a 4 bedroom house with 2 cats & some gates so I generally keep them separated. My backyard is fenced in as well

“Valerie has been a fantastic dog walker for my pug, Steve. Communication has been super easy, she always leaves great notes (feedback and pictures) and brings lots of positive energy. Steve has been a very happy boy to have another friend to play with. Very highly recommended!”

About: Hi! I'm David. I grew up in Michigan surrounded by dogs and farm animals. Labrador Retrievers were the family favorite, however, I rescued a Basset Hound Mix during the pandemic. One of my college jobs was working at a doggy daycare center. I was quickly promoted to manager and ended up rolling out a marketing plan for the business. It was a blast! I live in Metro Detroit (Oak Park) and am currently "funemployed" which means I have all the time in the world to take care of your furry companions! I take pride in my ability to be patient, gentle, responsible, and fun with all kinds of dogs, sizes, and ages. I have vast and diverse experience taking care of animals including dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, horses, and birds. During college, I volunteered at various humane societies and frequently dog sat for friends and relatives. I was also instrumental in co-training a Golden Retriever to be a service dog. That was a highly rewarding experience. My approach to dog care is to start with the owner and get to know the dog through their eyes. I then channel that love and devotion to esteemed care, ensuring that walks are done frequently, food is out at a responsible time, and that enough attention is spent with the dog. I'm an outdoors guy and walk whenever I get the chance, so rest assured that your dog will get a healthy amount of outside time. If you've made it this far and like what you've read, let's schedule a meet-and-greet! I take my pup for walks at least four times a day, and let her roam free in my fenced in backyard. I provide attention and care throughout the day! I'm very respectful not only of my client's pets, but also their homes. I'm very trustworthy and neat/tidy. I've dog sat in many homes both for the day and overnight. I treat other people's property as if it were my own.

About: Warmest greetings! Thank you for taking the time to read about my family and me! My name is Rachel, and I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I grew up with my grandfather who was a veterinarian by trade. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup(s). I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with the pups in my care. Dogs ALWAYS come first in our home. My job is to make sure your pup feels safe, secure, and has the best time while you are away! I’m always excited to take my dogs on a hike, jog, or puppy play date. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood with a wonderful fenced backyard. I have sat numerous dogs both young and old and throughly enjoy pup slumber parties. I love to make homemade dog treats. Let your dog be spoiled by my family and me! I will love on your pup with everything I have. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible.

About: Updated for 2026 :) I’m about 3+ years into this Rover journey and truly enjoy it for so many reasons. We always had a dog growing up and I had two labs and two cats in my adult life who have sense “gone to heaven”. Now in an apartment and not able to have pets, sitting has become extra special for me, giving me that dose of animal love that I’ve been missing :) I also work remote, which ensures your pets have a little extra TLC <3 As far as experience - I’ve been around and love puppies but also know the attention and care that older pets need. They are honestly some of my favorites. Having met and worked with lots of sitters for my own pets in the past, I know the importance of finding someone you can trust not only with your pets but also in your home. From giving medicine, to walks and playtime, rolling in the grass and picking up poop, it all comes with the territory that I’m already so familiar and comfortable with. Because I work remotely, meeting your pets needs and sticking to their schedule should be no problem at all! I’d love the chance to meet and care for the animals in your family! My schedule can be flexible, if needed. I work remote so can be around to give your pets all kinds of love throughout the day! I’m happy to take all the walks or throw toys in your yard to keep your dogs happy - whatever is preferred! Staying on their schedule and making sure they have everything they need will be easy as I have lots of practice with my own at home (cat cuddles included) ❤️

“We are so glad we found Jennifer to walk our dog! She takes great care of him, sends us sweet photos and updates, and has been patient and flexible when we have have had schedule changes. I can tell my dog really enjoys his time with her. We highly recommend her!”

About: I've had dogs throughout most of my childhood and adult life. Currently, I'm a parent to two pit bulls, Ella and Omar. We've been together for the past 13 years. We take at least two walks a day and on nice summer days sometime three. I'm experienced with handling both big dogs and small. I've attended training classes with both of my dogs and I learned that the training is as much for us as it is the dogs! I enjoy giving lots of love and attention to both of them and my wife and I treat them like our own children. They are getting a bit older now, 13 and 12, but they are barely slowing down! If you have active dogs I'm more than happy to go on runs with them or if you've got senior dogs I can do slow walks and/or give plenty of couch potato cuddles too. Basically I love hanging out with furry friends. I work part time in the evenings on Monday and Wednesday from 6-10. In addition to that I'm a freelance illustrator and work mostly from home. Other than that I have a very flexible schedule. For my two pitts I have a fenced in yard. Both are also crate trained and very well mannered. While we are gone they usually have the house to theirselves as they are behaved enough to not make a mess while we are out. They only stay in their crates for short periods of times like when we have numerous guests over or when any maintenance or service people come over. I'm a pretty mellow person that understands dogs all have their own personalities and I do my best to match their energy. I don't get bothered when any messes or accidents happen, as I understand that's just an occasional part of life with dogs and cats. Most of all I just want our furry friends to be happy and comfortable.
