Dog Walking Lake Orion

About: I have been a part time dog sitter, cat sitter, house sitter, etc since I was 10 years old. I've also been a volunteer at my local animal shelter since I was 15. I've taken care of old dogs, young dogs, energetic dogs, couch potato dogs, friendly dogs, shy dogs, big dogs, small dogs, you name it. I've been doing this a long time and I've gotten really good understanding each pet and their individual needs. Every dog is different, and I love them all. I also have experience with dogs who need medications and ear drops, and I am Red Cross certified in Pet First Aid! I provide pet care full time, helping owners have peace of mind when they have to leave their buddies behind for a trip, or to go to work, it makes me happy knowing I can help out people and animals who could use an extra set of hands. I have an active personal life, always making plans friends and family, but offering services on here allows me to plan my leisure time around times I'm needed for pet care. Firstly, I want to say I understand meeting people online and inviting them into your home can be very anxiety inducing, and I want to reassure you that with me, your pet, your house, and your belongings are safe. If you have ANY questions or concerns, please let me know. I'm here to help answer anything that could cause you worry. Your pets are part of the family and I understand staying safe is a priority. When I personally am trusted to stay in someone's home, I usually stick around the same area of the house out of habit. I keep food where it belongs to prevent mishaps, and keep things off the floor to prevent injuries of their me or pets. When going for walks I like to stick to trails or sidewalked areas that have decent cell reception, just in case. I keep treats with me, extra bags, and have a phone holder for my wrist so I can have a hand free, especially for dogs who get excited from wildlife and could suddenly pull really hard anytime. I keep a pop up bowl and a bottle for water breaks. Before going for longer walks I touch test the path in case they are too hot. I also have experience putting jackets on dogs in the colder months.

“Christina always showed up on time. She sent a text on the rare times she had to change her schedule. She was able to handle Izzy without issue.”

About: With 14 animals of my own and over 5 years of pet sitting experience, I truly understand every pet’s unique needs. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every animal like family. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or specialized care, your pet will feel right at home with me. What sets me apart is my deep, hands-on knowledge of animal behavior and genuine passion for giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I currently don’t work anywhere else which gives me plenty of time in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends to focus on pet care. Since animals are a huge part of my life already, caring for pets naturally fits into my daily routine. Whether it’s evening walks, weekend stays, or afternoon check-ins, I’m flexible and committed to making sure your pet feels loved and well-cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space and routines. I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, walks, medications, or playtime—and keep things clean and calm. My goal is to make your pet feel like you’re still there, providing peace of mind for both of you.

About: **Currently lowering my rates as a temporary promotion while I build up my clientele! I have years of local pet care experience!** I’ve been watching pets since I was a teenager. I love animals and am very experienced. I love playing and cuddling with them. Whatever their energy level is I am happy to match. I have two dogs at home. Rosie is a springer so she has a lot of energy. She requires lots of walks and cuddles. Emma is a senior and she takes daily oral medication. They both require lots of attention so I am very experienced helping with animals that have specific needs. I am very attentive to what your pet needs. My dogs are super high maintenance so any level of care needed I am prepared for in making sure your animal is happy.

About: For the past ten years, I have cultivated my love of animals through fostering dogs and cats, working in a vet clinic, and keeping pets of my own. I am comfortable handling a wide range of breeds and sizes, understanding behaviors and body language, and working with different needs to cater to specific situations. As a student, I have some classes throughout the week, but on my off days I am available to walk or house sit your pets! Client and pet safety and comfort is my top priority. Depending on an animal’s history and specific needs, I am able to provide exceptional care catered to the pet.

“Kristina, is so reliable ! Always Able to accommodate my dogs even last minute! I get lots of pictures with every walk and updates on how the boys did. I would to anyone !!”

About: I have always been an animal lover but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I used to have a dog of my own and now love every opportunity I have to get to dog sit for friends and family! Volunteering at the local rescue center has also contributed to my dog care experience. I would love to have the opportunity to care for yours too! I am currently working but do school online which gives me the flexibility to learn form anywhere! I am the best fit for those looking for drop in visits and could be flexible to stay overnight as well I would love to help facilitate as much comfort in their home and stability in their routine as I can while you’re away. Please feel free to let me know how I can make them as comfortable as I can!

“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 have 5 years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels.

I always prioritize secure walks, supervised care, and maintaining each dog’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and am experienced with dogs and cats. I have 2 senior dogs that I’ve had since they were puppies (a Newfoundland and a Basset hound), and 3 senior cats, so I’ve gotten pretty good at taking care of older animals with health issues, including giving meds orally and topically. I also have 2 cockatiels and a canary! I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for a few years. Now that my youngest is in kindergarten, I have time during school hours to work. I’d love to use that time taking care of your pets! I am careful and observant. I will always verify that your dog’s collar and leash are on securely before we leave the house. If you have a fenced in yard, I’ll ensure the gate is closed and latched, and I’ll watch to make sure your dog doesn’t get into anything it’s not supposed to.

About: I have had dogs all my life. I feel they are part of the family and treat them with love. Ear scratches are my specialty. I am an empty nester and have a very flexible schedule to let out your pets or give them walks with lots of sniffing to stretch their legs and tire their minds. I follow your instructions to make sure your pet is safe and attended at all times. Unless your yard is fenced or using an invisible fence, I will keep your pet leashed for their safety.

About: I truly wouldn’t be describing myself without mentioning animals. I have grown up with Akitas and Alaskan malamutes, so I’m definitely a big dog lover! Of course, all breeds and sizes deserve special love and care. I have experience in training puppies, as well as senior care. I am very willing to accommodate for your fur baby, to ensure the best experience possible. Being around animals makes me the happiest! I’m looking forward to raising the bar for pet care. My current schedule is quite flexible! My work hours are non-traditional, and I am pursuing my degree online which allows me to do what I love—watch dogs!! For these reasons, I am confident that I can meet your pet(s)’ schedule and needs! I have access to plenty of outdoor space. My home is large and cozy! I offer a safe, loving, spacious environment where your pet(s) can thrive.

About: I’ve had a dog my entire life and absolutely love spending time with him. I’ve been watching over neighbors’ and friends’ pets as well, taking them for walks, feeding them, playing with them, and giving them lots of love while their families were away. When I leave my pup, I want nothing more than to know he’s in good hands. I’d love to be that reassurance to you! I work part time, so I will have plenty of free time to do whatever will make your pet feel happy! I have reliable transportation to ensure prompt arrival times. I have one friendly pup to keep your pet company. He’s getting older, so he is super chill and loving. I have a large, soon to be fenced in, yard to play or endless parks in the area to take on a nice walk!

About: Hello! My name is Kate and I live with my husband, Joe, in Lake Orion. Our home is set on a dirt road in a small neighborhood. We have a fenced in yard, and plenty of space for dogs to run and play. We live a slow, laid back lifestyle. We both love to be outside, and spend many hours outdoors running, swimming, biking, or hiking. We are both animal lovers, so your pup will be welcomed into our home like he is one of our own. We do have two dogs (Gus & Opie), and two cats (Bandit & Beanie), both get along with other animals very well. I grew up with dogs my whole life and I have been dog-sitting for about 6 years. I own my own business, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I can easily modify my days to accommodate your dogs typical schedule at home. I do my very best to make them feel as comfortable as possible when staying with your dog whether in my home or at yours.
