Dog Walking Howell

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!

“Natalie is so reliable, thoughtful and understanding. She has been such a gift to our family as I recover from and injury, and during our work from home schedules. I 100% recommend her. She’s incredible!”

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.

“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 always had a big heart for animals since I was a little girl. Constantly helping with my family’s dogs and now that we’re all older and on our own, my siblings still choose me to help oversee care for their dogs when they’re out of town. I have past experience as a vet assistant (little over a year.) With this I have learned just how different each dog, or cat, can be and therefore I can approach care that is best fitted for them :) I’m a flight attendant so I’m gone 4-5 days at a time but tend to be home an average of 15 days a month. With this type of schedule it allows me to have plenty of free time to keep myself active and having a little friend to walk with would just add to it! I’m currently just a cat owner but do go take care of my siblings and parents dogs. They all have big yards that allow for them to play catch with a ball or just sniff around. Also have good areas to walk each of their dogs to keep them moving!

“On time every time. Karlysse took him for a long walk. My doggie looks happy in his pictures.”

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: With years of hands on experience caring for a variety of pets, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their unique needs. From my own furry family of 3 dogs, 4 cats, a bunny, and a horse, I’ve learned the importance of being attentive, patient, and nurturing. My studies in Animal Science at CSU have further equipped me with the knowledge to care for pets with expertise and compassion. Whether it's administering medication, providing enrichment activities, or simply offering companionship, I ensure that every pet under my care feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I'm home from college for the summer and currently working part time Monday through Wednesday and Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. I have lots of availability on my days off, and even on the days I'm working, I'm happy to stop by before and after my shift for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, potty breaks, or anything else your pet needs. I’m also flexible and happy to accommodate different schedules or specific care instructions whenever possible. In caring for pets at clients' homes, I prioritize creating a comfortable and familiar environment for them. I follow a detailed routine based on your pet’s specific needs, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care instructions. I ensure that their living space remains clean and safe, and I offer plenty of attention and enrichment to keep them happy. I also maintain open communication with you to update you on how your pet is doing and address any concerns promptly. My goal is to provide seamless, loving care that makes your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you're away.

About: I've had dogs, cats, and other animals in my life forever. I've pet sat for many years, have experience with administering many types of medication, love all types of animals. I will be gentle with your pets and treat them with the upmost respect. I am flexible and willing to travel up to an hour. I am a stay at home mom with a 10 month old. I have a lot of time on my hands and a baby that likes to stay busy. I will gladly drive within an hour to pet sit, walk, give medicine, feed, exercise, house sit, water plants, etc. We also love to go on walks! I am unable to keep pets at my house. I am happy to drive out once or twice a day to check on your pet. I will play, spend time, talk to them, feed, clean up, give treats, go on a walk, give medication if necessary, and send you a photo/video.

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: 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.

“Katie is great with Shasta. She is always quick to respond even to last minute requests. She even put my trash out for me I was so appreciative.”

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! 🎉🧁🍭🦴🍖

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have always been surrounded by them at home. I also have experience caring for pets of family and friends. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, and I enjoy giving each one the attention and care they need. I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to give your pups the attention they need. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with open availability throughout the day. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow their regular routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. For dog walks, I always prioritize safety and tailor the walk to their energy level. I treat every pet with love, patience, and respect.

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. I am highly familiar with medication administration including injections, as well as aftercare following surgery, and I have lots of enrichment ideas for your pets to have a blast while theyre in my care! I treat every animal as if they were my own- with the utmost care, I hope to leave you feeling stress free while your baby is taken care of❤️ I currently work part time in Mason as a veterinary assistant. I plan to start veterinary nursing school in the fall so for now I have availability throughout the week for drop ins, walks, or even some overnight stays I do not have an environment at my house for dogs such as a fenced in yard but I do know of wonderful dog parks!

“My husband and I were looking last minute for someone to walk our dog while we were out of town for a few days. Kimberly responded to our inquiry very promptly and set up a meet and greet with us. She was very professional and friendly and sent us photos and visit summaries after each walk. She even stayed to throw the ball for him inside when it was pouring outside, so he could get some more exercise. We will definitely contact Kimberly again and would recommend her!”

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

“Grace does really well with Rocky. She takes great care to make sure he goes to the bathroom, enjoys his walk, and has water in his dish before she leaves. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”

I can accommodate your pets' needs throughout the day. I am also available on short notice. I can handle large and small dogs alike. I will make sure they get the exercise and affection they need while also attending to the basics. Weather it's going for a jog or a walk, I will make sure your pet is safe and happy.
