Dog Walking Howell

About: Your dog isn't just a pet—they’re family. As a devoted dog owner myself, I know how hard it can be to step away. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to your dog’s unique personality, whether they need extra patience, steady structure, or just a calm companion. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. I treat every home with complete respect and treat every dog with the same love, vigilance, and gentle care I give my own. You’ll get clear communication and daily updates with photos so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. Because I have a flexible schedule with dedicated evening and weekend availability, pet care isn't something I squeeze in—it’s a central part of my day. Mornings & Daytime: I keep a predictable daily rhythm, allowing me to stick precisely to your dog’s established feeding, walking, and potbreak schedules without rushing. Evenings & Weekends: My peak availability is during evenings and weekends, making me a reliable choice for dinner feeds, bedtime routines, long weekend walks, or overnight stays when you need to be away. Dedicated Attention: Whether I’m visiting your home or providing house-sitting, your dog receives consistent, undivided care. I plan my routine around their needs to ensure they get plenty of exercise, companionship, and low-stress downtime. In My Home: Friendly Companionship: I have two friendly dogs who love new playmates and a fully fenced-in yard for safe, outdoor play. Flexible Options: If your dog needs crate time for resting or sleeping, I can easily accommodate their usual routine. In Your Home & On Walks: Home Security: I treat your home with total respect—locking up securely, keeping spaces tidy, and following all house rules. Safe Walks: I use your preferred leash/harness setup, stick to secure routes, and monitor pavement conditions to protect sensitive paw pads. Strict Safety: I follow your specific feeding and treat instructions—no unapproved foods, ever. You’ll get regular photo updates so you always know your fur baby is safe, happy, and well-cared for!

“I can’t express in words the amazing job Shoshana did. I never heard of Rover before and wanted to try it out. Shoshana came out early just to meet my dog so they could know each other. Shoshana came to walk her for the booking and treated my dog like she was her own. Her love and affection for an animal that is not hers is unbelievable. I only wish I knew about Shoshana sooner. I look forward to the next time I can use her service because I know my dog is in good hands with her.”

About: Hi my name is Micaela and one thing about me is that I adore animals! I love all animals so very much. I also feel that I work really well with them. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. Most of my dogs have been big dogs so I’m pretty good with handling any challenge that’s thrown my way. I’ve had more aggressive and protective dogs as well as laid back dogs and I’ve loved all. I’ve also worked at local shelters in my hometown and felt that that helped me gain more experience working with varying animals. I trained a couple of my dogs from a young age and though I’m not certified I felt that I did a pretty good job. I’m very patient and very genuine. I also watched my dogs whenever my parents would go on business trips which was quite often so I’d say this is the perfect job for me! I’m a college student but have majority of my classes online so my schedule is pretty clear. I love being outdoors and in nature so dog walking is right up my alley. I also love just chilling at home so I have no problem with that as well. I will always be respectful of others space especially if they are allowing me to stay in their home and watch their animals. I would say I’m a pretty neat person and don’t mind cleaning up if anything is needed. Genuinely it makes me happy to help others around the house if necessary. I used to babysit for a while and would always tidy up when I could find the time. I recently moved and now live with my grandparents and mom. We also have a chocolate lab who’s very energetic and loves to play. We have a fenced in yard and a conservation close to our house so there’s plenty of space for the animals. We love having dogs in the house.

“IMolly was great. Very communicative and conscientious. I left her instructions and she followed them perfectly. I was very nervous to leave my senior dog with anyone but Molly was great. She rcommunicated after each walk and took some cute pictures as well. I was able to have fun on my day trip knowing that Molly was there to take care of my dog. I would definitely use her again.”

She is a rough collie, or as many people recognize, a lassie dog!

“Jules provided amazing care for our Golden retriever during a recent out of town vacation. It was the first time we left our baby in the care of someone outside the family, but we were comfortable every step of the way! From meeting Jules, to the great updates along the way (including pictures!) it was a perfect experience. Highly recommend across the board!”

About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with two pups of my own and over three years of hands-on experience volunteering with a dog rescue. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience. My experience includes daily walks, basic training, handling dogs at public events, and fostering. I’m also comfortable recognizing and supporting basic medical needs. Your dog will be treated like one of my own—with lots of care, attention, and love. I currently work in an office setting so my availability is mainly Friday-Sunday and if needed after 6PM Monday-Thursday for a potty break or walk. I care for my dogs in various ways based on their needs. I utilize crate training/treat reinforcement/basic commands and do my best to remove any negative habits where applicable.

About: I’ve been a dog pal of every kind since I was in high school, for my family, friends, and neighbors. Whatever you and your pup may need, I am here! I work part-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule with lots of time to be present with your pups. I am free on the weekends for boarding, and I can be available any time during the week. Dogs are the embodiment of unconditional love. I do what I can to reflect that unconditional love back to them that they give so freely.

“Samantha was GREAT! She is the sweetest person and communicated really well with us. She brought Callie on a long walk and took some super cute pictures along the way! It's obvious that she loves dogs ◡̈ We will definitely be requesting her again!”

About: I have spent years caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I genuinely love building trust with every pet I meet. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a calming drop-in visit, or simply making sure your pet feels safe while you’re away, I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. My experience includes volunteering with Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter and Stafford Veterinary Hospital, where I worked alongside animal care professionals and gained hands-on experience with dogs of different temperaments, medical needs, and backgrounds. Those experiences taught me how to read canine body language, stay calm in stressful situations, and always put an animal’s comfort and safety first. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. I’ll treat your dog like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve every visit. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make your pet’s day a little brighter. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I do my best to accept last-minute bookings whenever possible and understand that plans can change unexpectedly. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a drop-in visit while you’re at work or away, I’m committed to providing reliable, consistent care. My goal is to make scheduling easy and ensure your pet receives the attention and companionship they deserve. I believe pets are happiest in the comfort of their own home, where their routine stays familiar and stress is kept to a minimum. During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and, of course, lots of attention and affection. I take the time to understand your pet’s individual personality and routine, whether they prefer a long walk, a game of fetch, or simply a quiet companion. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and always follow your instructions carefully. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while giving you complete peace of mind. You’ll receive regular updates and photos after every visit so you always know how your furry family member is doing.

“There are not enough nice things I can say about Jessica! She was great with Keyser! Keyser is a senior and can be a little tricky to care for. But, he bonded with Jessica instantly and we knew he was in great hands! We highly recommend Jessica!”

About: Lover of all dogs, I enjoy spending time with them as they provide so much happiness in my life! I've had a dog since I was 13 years old, and neighbors have relied on me to take care of their dogs in the past. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure I have dedicated time in the morning, midday, and evening for walks and playtime. I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so regular walks and engagement are something I already prioritize. I would love to walk your dog when you don't have time. I can make sure your dog spends quality time outside and stays active throughout the day. During the week, I can stay organized with scheduled exercise and quality time so your dog feels comfortable and cared for. I’m also flexible and can adjust my routine depending on your dogs energy level and needs, whether that means longer walks, extra playtime, or just more companionship.

About: I love being outside and enjoying nature especially with a pup! Our setup at home is perfect for pets and they’ll get ample attention during the day as I a remote worker I have a flexible work schedule which allows me multiple breaks during the day!

About: If you’re looking for a dependable, loving sitter who will treat your dog like family, you’ve come to the right place. I have years of experience dog sitting, house sitting, and caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, enjoying daily walks, keeping up with playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I believe pet care is about more than meeting basic needs, it’s about building trust and creating a positive experience for both you and your dog. I take the time to learn each pup’s unique personality, routines, and favorite things, so they feel comfortable and cared for from the moment we meet. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive. I’m the sitter who gets down on the floor to play, remembers your dog’s little quirks after just one visit, and sends plenty of photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is having a great time. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and providing the same level of care and attention that I would give my own pets! I am currently employed in the Howell area with my schedule varying but flexible. My work day starts in the afternoon/late afternoon into the evening.

Most people I dog sit give me a list of rules and instructions for caring for their furry friend as well as staying safe.I have experience staying at clients’ homes, so I can do this.

About: Hi! My name is Rachel and I am the biggest dog lover. I have a yorkie, Layla who I love very much. I would love to meet new dogs and care for them! I am very soft and gentle when it comes to dogs because I want them to feel comfortable. I am also good at evaluating dogs’ body language so I can accommodate to their needs. My goal is to make your dog as happy as it can be, keeping them well fed, hydrated, and active through walks. Having a dog myself made me fall even more in love with dogs and I can’t wait to meet more dogs and care for them! :) I am currently working part time in the mornings and early afternoons which makes me available to care for your pet in the middle of the afternoon and evenings! I take care of the pets by listening to what the owner wants for their pet. I make sure the pets are comfortable where they are and I am gentle. I understand some dogs are shy and I come into every home aware of that and I try to let the dogs slowly warm up to me. I make them feel as safe and cared for as possible. Feeding and walking is as consistent as the owner wants it :)
