“Almost always available! Even at the last minute. Goes about and beyond for our dog! Truly amazing service! Thoughtful and great communication.”

About: Hi, I'm Bradley! By day, I'm a pilot, which means I naturally bring focus on safety, communication, and extreme reliability to everything I do. But when I'm on the ground, my real passion is hanging out with dogs. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and understand that every pet has their own unique personality. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs a long walk or a shy rescue who needs a patient, calm presence to feel safe, I tailor my care to exactly what they need. My goal is to give you total peace of mind while you're away. Because of my aviation background, I'm a stickler for routine, text updates, and keeping your pets safe and happy. I can't wait to meet your pup! I currently am on an extended break from work so I will be available almost all the time. I update my schedule frequently, so my availability is always accurate. Safety and providing an enjoyable experience are paramount for me. I understand every dog is different and like to provide a tailored experience for my clients. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. I treat every dog as if they were my own, which means double-checking doors, using secure leashes in all public or unfenced spaces, and strictly following any medical or dietary routines you have. I adapt entirely to your dog's comfort level.

About: I have had pets every since I was born. I have had three dogs all ranging in energy levels. I was able to successfully walk all three, the calm one, the fiesty one, as well as the agreesive one. I love all animals especially dogs and cats. I currently am in school, however classes are online so I am very flexible with when I am able to walk. I should be available almost every day. I care for my pets by always making sure they are fed the right amount at the right time, always have clean water, and that I am taking dogs our to the bathroom every 3-4 hours to avoid any accidents.

About: I’ve taken care of family pets and my neighbors pets since I was 16. I’ve been a pet parent myself for over 10 years now. I know how important your pets safety/happiness/and comfort is. I take watching your pet extremely serious, my philosophy with Rover is to treat your pet(s) like I do my own. I work a low pressure job from home so I’m home 24/7. This means I’m able to be around your pet and give them all my attention everyday. Most importantly that gives me the freedom to focus on the well being and comfort of your pet. About my home: - very spacious ranch style home. - no stairs, plenty of room for your pet to run around. • VERY LARGE fenced in yard. - I allow my dog Leo to spend as much time as he wants outside. Sun bathing and fetch are his favorite. •I live in a large safe neighborhood. -No major roads and safe environment. Walks are a must! I will treat your pet like they’re my own.

“Alexandra is very sweet, she takes good care of my dog and meets her needs very well. My little dog is feisty and not easy to work with at times, so I’m very grateful for her!”

“Samantha is Amazing. Drake suffer from anxiety & fear. Instantly Drake took to Samantha, which lets me know that Drake feels safe with her!! I mentioned to Samantha that I would like to someday take Drake for a walk on a trail or to a park. She told me about a trail she knew & asked if she could take Drake there for his walk today and I said that would be awesome. After their time walking on the trail, Samantha sent me photos of the walk and let me know that Drake had a great time exploring new things and that he was a good boy. Over the last 6 months, Drake has been in training to develop skills to help cope with his anxiety & fear. Thank you so much Samantha for the patience and love you showed Drake today!! Taking him on trail walk with good behavior lets me know that his trainings working!! You will definitely be the 1st person I contact to care for Drake in the future!!”

About: A great dog walker is someone who not only loves dogs but understands their needs, temperament, and energy levels. They’re patient, reliable, and always focused on keeping dogs safe and comfortable during their walks. This is where I come in! As a dog owner of 10 years I have a keen awareness of dog behavior and can help handle different situations, whether it’s dealing with a nervous pup or a playful one. I will keep owners updated on their dog’s well-being. I am passionate, trustworthy, and dedicated to ensuring each walk is a fun and enriching experience for the dogs in my care I currently work from home full - time. However, I have a flexible schedule to where I can walk a dog in the mornings, during lunch, and in the evenings. I am available on weekends for any time that is needed. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run. Dogs are welcome in all parts of my home - including laying on the couch and making themselves comfortable.

About: We are a doggy dog house. Our girls are rescue dogs from age of one now into their senior years. Our home is perfect for the pups: Large fenced in backyard. One story home. Freedom to sleep wherever they want. This home environment is the best for your baby. I am home a lot. My schedule revolves around dog sitting. I may go to the gym or grocery store but for the most part there is no where I need to be. I have a large fenced in back yard. Lots of room to play. I have two dogs of my own Miley (boxer) and Remi (pug).

About: Being in the military my schedule may fluctuate but don’t be afraid to ask if I can fit it in my schedule and I’ll be honest with you. Pet wise I’ve owned anything from a hermit crab to a Australian shepherd, German Shepherd, parrot, cats and rabbits. For all services I provide I ensure the best service with consistent updates on your pets well being. I love pets of all shapes and sizes and I can match the energy to any dog or cat. A happy pet is one who is stimulated and I promise you will not be disappointed. I’ve had many dogs of my own and currently live with a 2 year old husky, my roommates. If you have any questions, comments, or special requests feel free to reach out and I’ll reply swiftly.

About: After spending 15 wonderful years taking care of my beagle Bailey, I know how important it is to find someone who will love and care for your dog as much as you do. I’m currently earning my Master’s degree online in Mental Health Counseling while completing clinical work, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m able to dedicate quality time to walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding routines, and companionship. I’m reliable, organized, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in an apartment community with a dedicated dog park just a short walk from my home, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. I also have access to my mother’s home, which features a large fenced yard and pool area with no resident pets, offering additional space for supervised outdoor play if appropriate. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and preferences to ensure every pet receives personalized care and attention.

“Thomas did a great job walking our dogs and making sure they were taken care of while we were gone for the day. We'll definitely book Thomas again in the future!”

About: I am 33, and I have had a wide range of pets my entire life including dogs, horses, and rodents! I currently chicken-sit, dog visit, bird watch, and occasionally have cats grace me with their presence. My dog is 2.5 years old and generally goes with me to tend to the animals, but I can leave her at home if that is a deal breaker! I live my life so Lady can have a very full one. We go on walks, hikes, or runs every day in any type of weather (Thanks to Michigan). My schedule is all over the place but it allows for me to be flexible. Let me know if I can help! I currently work 30-35 hours a week during the summer and I have winter months off. My summer work generally starts around 3:00 and goes until 10 so I have my mornings and early afternoons free. I treat everyone's house like my own! Trust and respect make up the foundation of my life and line of work. These pets are my family and will be treated as such -if you like your family ;)

“Daisy suggested to me the other day that Harley is not a huge fan of walking in the dark so I got her a glow-in-the-dark collar and it was a huge success for my dog. It alleviated her anxiety during their walk. So thank you Daisy for being such an amazing dog walker, that you made an observation that helped make my dog more comfortable on her walks. We appreciate it! We also appreciate the detailed reports on her adventures and the cute pictures you take ☺️”

About: I've been taking care of pets for about 10+ years now. I've had cats my whole life and have had dogs for 4 years now. I worked as a veterinary technician for 4 years as well. I can bathe, walk, feed, give medicine to almost all pets! I moved from California to Michigan and would love to get to know more of your fur babies! I am currently walking from home and almost always need a break. Therefore, spending time with more animals is always a big relaxer for me! I love my fur babies more than anything. Their needs always come first. Therefore, I will put your babies needs first as well. I can play with them, take them out, and do almost everything possible to make sure they have a stress free time with me.

“Tyler and Andrea took my 13 ½-year-old Lab for walks twice a day, morning and evening. Even though the agreement was for 30 minutes, they often walked an extra 10 minutes since my lab is very slow. They were always punctual, communicated clearly, and showed great patience. Walking Veera is not easy at his age, but they never complained and cared for him with kindness. Thank you for taking care of our fur baby while we were sick — it gave us such peace of mind.”

About: I’ve taken care of all different types of dogs my whole life. I’m very athletic and will walk/jog if preferred. I’m very reliable, friendly and professional. I’m currently in school and have a job but my schedule is always open on the weekends and always after 2pm on the weekdays. Sometimes open availability throughout the week All pets need supervision so you can always rely on me being nearby at all times. Routine scheduling is also very important to me as well.

“Misty was great! She cared for my two dogs for an evening at her house which has a fenced yard so they could be outside much of the time, which they love. She was very loving and caring, and took great care of them. Highly recommended!”

About: I worked with a dog walking and house sitting agency while out of state from 2022-2024. The walks and sits became part of my own self-care and it felt so special to be trusted to look after others’ fur babies. I am detail oriented, a strong communicator, and aim to understand exactly what your pet needs and wants. I also have two dogs of my own and love them to pieces. I do have a full time job as a clinician and thus can work anywhere as long as I have wifi! My schedule can fluctuate depending on cancellations and emergency sessions, however I am great at planning ahead and communicating so I never miss walks or appointments. House sits are great for me so that I can attend to your pet during the day while I work remotely. I also do not have to stay overnight in your space if you do not want me to - let’s talk about it! I will do my best to be flexible and accommodating. I work remotely and thus during house sits can have eyes on your fur baby at all times. I am always on the look out for what a dog could get in to and handle those situations proactively. I also stay very mindful of weather, heat, and asking for clarity from you about how I can expect your dog to be and being on the lookout for any deviations from their usual.

About: Ive been caring for cats and dogs all of my life. My first job was at a vet office. I have pet sat for family and friends and I'm ready to care for your fur baby! I am a stay at home mom of two boys who also love pets. They are gentle and kind to animals. I am flexible for nights and weekends or drop in visits. I have a large fenced in private backyard for your pup to run off some steam and do their business. My first floor is designed for easy clean ups in case of accidents.

About: Hi! I’m Katie, and I’m a lifelong dog lover with plenty of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I currently have my own 10-month old yellow Lab, Moose, who keeps me active and has given me even more experience with training, playtime, walks, and all the fun (and chaos!) that comes with having a young dog. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for multiple dogs at once. I’ve also fostered two German Shepherds for several months until they found their forever homes, and later fostered two Pit Bull/Lab mixes through No Dogs Left Behind. I also regularly help care for my parents’ two Labs, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple dogs and making sure each one gets the attention they need. I’ve even participated in the Leader Dogs for the Blind 5K for several years to support their mission. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time with the pets in my care. Depending on the service, I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, feeding, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I know every dog has their own routine and personality, so I’ll always do my best to keep their normal schedule and make them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love while you’re away! I work from home full time and work on Mountain Standard Time, which gives me a flexible schedule and makes mornings especially convenient for walks, drop ins, and spending time with pets. Since I work remote, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day while still maintaining a consistent work schedule. I’m available Monday through Friday and have more flexibility in the mornings and throughout the day. I also spend a lot of my free time with my own dog, Moose, so I’m very comfortable incorporating walks, playtime, and outdoor activities into my routine. On weekends, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, working out, hanging out with Moose, watching sports, and getting outside. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs to make sure they feel comfortable & cared for! I live in a spacious, gated apartment community in a quiet and pet friendly environment. While I don’t have a private yard, there are several walking trails nearby, as well as a dog park within my neighborhood, giving dogs plenty of opportunities for exercise, fresh air, and playtime. I’m very mindful of safety when caring for pets and always keep dogs leashed and supervised while outside unless they are in a designated, secure dog park. My apartment community has safety regulations in place, and because not every building is pet friendly, there is a comfortable number of dogs throughout the community without feeling overcrowded. My own dog, Moose, lives with me, so I’m experienced with maintaining a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for dogs in an apartment setting. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, house rules, feeding instructions, and any special care needs to help both pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care.
