Dog Walking Hubbard-Richard

About: I love all animals and grew up with dogs, both rescues, one big one small. Although I don’t have a pet of my own now, Rover gives me the chance to give care and spend time with the furry friends that give us unconditional love. I’m currently working freelance so I have the flexibility of making my own schedule, and time to spend giving attention to your pets and whatever needs they have. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe in their own space. My first priority is to make your dog or cat feel comfortable with me.

“Our dog is a little wary of strangers and he loved Jeannette right away!! He greeted her like family the first time he met her and I immediately felt comfortable having our dog in her care. She is a total professional and gives us such peace of mind. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was a child as my family had a farm when I was growing up. I have also rescued most of the animals that I’ve had and wish to rescue way more in the future. I’m currently enrolled in Schoolcraft community college studying nursing. I don’t have a job at the moment and have a lot of time on my hands so I would love to take care of your precious babies I actually will not be able to take care of your pets at my house as I do have some pets that don’t get along with other animals so I wouldn’t want to take the risk but I would love to come to your house and take care of your pets and walk them and look after them exactly how you want me to

About: I've been around dogs my whole life, my parents raised seeing eye dogs, and I helped with training and daily care from a young age. In my teens, I helped my mom run a small dog-boarding business out of our home, so I'm used to dogs with all kinds of temperaments and routines. Over the years, I've often been the go-to friend for dogs that need a little extra patience or understanding, whether that's a shy senior or a high-energy handful. I recently lost my own pup, and while l'm not ready for another full-time, I miss having a dog around and love being able to offer that care and attention to someone else's. I'm currently working on fixing up my very old duplex so I'm home, tinkering around most of the time, and my schedule is flexible. If you're worried about your pet being in a construction zone, not to worry! The living area is safe and segmented from anything that might be hazardous yet intriguing to your pet. I have a partially fenced yard, perfect for supervised play. Living in midtown means that there's plenty of interesting things to smell along walks. I can crate your dog if needed, and you're welcome to bring their own if that makes them most comfortable. I have quite a few house plants in my space, so please let me know if your pup is prone to chewing on them and I will move them out of the way for their visit.

About: I’ve had multiple years of experience with senior dogs, pets needing help with medication, or energetic pets requiring lots of play. I have two cats myself. I’m a musician with a flexible schedule so I can make time whenever they need me. Happy to do over nights or pop in visits. Ive found it best to try to keep animals routines and schedules as regular as possible from what they’re used to to minimize their stress.

“Hanan is AMAZING! She has taken our 5 year old German Shepherd Kudo on walks as well as watched her overnight in our home. She is dog-reactive, and it feels so good knowing we can trust Hanan to keep distance from other dogs on walks & keep up with the training we are doing, while keeping Kudo safe. We always feel comfortable knowing Hanan does a great job caring for her, giving her lots of love & play, and making sure she is safe. Hanan communicates quickly and sends great updates with photos - you really can tell she loves what she does. Thank you Hanan!!”

“Azariah is the best! She accommodated last minute and my girls loved her! They are dog reactive and have to be walk separately and Azariah had no problem either. She’s the sweetest and communicated well with me. 10/10 will recommend and will be using her again”

“Lauren went above and beyond today! My keys weren't accessible at my house so she drove all the way to my work and grabbed my other set, just so zig could get her walk in. She's truly the best!”

About: My name is Ariel! I’m an attentive and responsible pet lover residing in Corktown. I am a registered nurse with an extremely flexible schedule. I have 3 years of experience with many happy, repeating Rover clients. My clients and their pets mean a lot to me! My goal is to put your mind at ease while you’re away, and treat your pets like they are my own. Please don’t hesitate to provide me with any and all detailed requests for your furry friends! My full-time job as a registered nurse means my schedule changes weekly. I have a lot of flexibility, and can usually accommodate irregular schedules. Feel free to message me and work out plan that best fits you and your pets’ needs. I’m more than happy to be accommodating to your special requests - don’t be afraid to ask! I’m patient and willing to take the extra time to work with slower senior pets as well as rambunctious young pets that may need a little more direction.

About: I have cared for pets of all sizes and ages since I was a child. My love for animals has led me to be a reliable caretaker for any pet! I’m new to the Detroit area and looking for pet care opportunities. My schedule is flexible and wide open for any time of day you need. I am a trustworthy and timely worker, guaranteeing I am always there for your pets needs. I promise to always treat your pets and home as if it were my own!

“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.”

About: I have a family dog of 12 years that I helped my parents train. I have also fostered multiple dogs including senior dogs who were on medication and needed more attention. I am currently a 2nd year Physican Assistant student at the University of Detroit Mercy. I am entering my clinical year, meaning I will be working different shifts each month for an entire year. Due to my very diverse schedule, I would be able to pick up shifts as needed and can be flexible from month to month. I live in an apartment complex in Midtown Detroit. The complex has a large gated fence around it that many dogs go out to. My apartment is about 500 square feet and is suitable for small to medium sized dogs!

“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 worked at an animal shelter for about a year and a half, where I learned a lot about caring for animals. I became familiar with dogs’ and cats’ diets, learned how to understand their body language, and gained experience administering medications when needed. I’ve also owned dogs for most of my life and have always believed them to be incredibly loyal and loving companions. I am currently enrolled in a veterinary assistant program. Most of my classes are online, with the exception of Fridays, when I attend classes on campus. I am generally available Monday through Thursday for most of the day, as long as I am given advance notice. I am also available on weekends when needed, with advance notice. My pets at home are very spoiled, so I plan to treat your pets the same way! I always want to make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, care, and love while they’re with me. I also enjoy going on trail walks or taking long walks in general, so I’d be happy to have some furry company along the way.

“Thank you for being the bright spot in Lopsie’s day! We both appreciate your dependability and thorough care 💕”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our dog received. From the very first walk, it was clear how much genuine love and patience you bring to what you do. Our dog absolutely adores you..You go above and beyond in every way, from thoughtful updates and photos to making sure our dog felt safe, happy, and well-exercised. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our Missy was in such capable and caring hands.Thank you for treating our dog like your own. We truly appreciate you and feel so lucky to have found you”

“Marissa is amazing!! During our meet and greet, she was very attentive and asked thoughtful questions that showed me she is well-versed in dog behavior. Her communication is prompt and friendly, and I could tell my dogs adored her!!”

About: I love all animals! I have about 3 years working at a fear free animal hospital where we only used low stress handling techniques. My love for animals has grown from having my own. I have had dogs, cats, lizards, fish, and other small animals. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I am looking to expand my list of regulars! I am currently working part time and get to design my own schedule! I can give your fur babies all the attention they need and give them all the time needed! Thanks to my past experience in daycares, I am able to read dogs very well. Whether that’s from reading when they’re anxious, excited, or over stimulated.

“Karley was awesome walking our super energetic dog who was cooped up due to injury. She went above and beyond walking and playing with him!”

Rebecca G.

“Aaria was great with Potato! That is saying something because he can be a piece of work, and always try to get away with pulling and refusing to walk with a new walker. She's been very responsive and professional as we set up a few services / stays for the coming weeks. Looking forward to having Potato with her more!”
