Dog Walking in Lasalle Gardens, Detroit, MI

“Mary Kay is the best! She always is thrilled to see my Olive and usually accepts my requests short notice, even same day. And of course, Olive loves her!”

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.

About: I am new to Rover, but not new to pet care! I’ve had dogs my whole life and have become a frequent sitter for animals in my social circle. I've cared for pets across a range of sizes, breeds, temperaments and ages. I used to work as a volunteer and foster through Michigan Humane, and have experience with lots of different pets and situations. I currently live with a 2-year-old Lab mix and a 14-year-old Shiba Inu. Please reach out if there is anything in particular you want to discuss in advance! I am available for walks and drop-ins on most days between 8am - 4pm. My calendar reflects my availability during that timeframe. I can accommodate most sitting requests if your pet can be left alone for brief periods. (If you are looking for evening care on a day marked unavailable, please feel free to get in touch, as I am often available after 5pm on those days, but the app doesn’t allow the calendar to reflect this). When your pet is in my care I treat them like they are my own. I love getting to know their quirks and if you have any specific routines for them that I can help maintain while you’re away!

About: I have always been the first to offer to cat or dog sit for my friends. My own cat needs daily oral medication, so I understand the importance of timely medication. I can't wait to meet you and your pets. I am currently attending online school, so I will have a lot of availability to care for your pets! I'm new to the area, and excited to get myself out there. I'm attentive to animal body language, and know some animal first-aid. In case of an emergency, I'm also capable of lifting up to about 80 pounds.

“Ogee LOVES Naomi. She has been walking him for a couple months now and she and my Mom communicate well if their schedules need to change.”

About: Hi, I’m Stefanía and YES: dogs are my favorite people ❤️ I’ve lived with fur babies my entire life so it is fair to say that I have plenty of experience walking, bathing, grooming (nothing fancy), feeding, playing, and cuddling with dogs all sizes. My boyfriend and I have fostered dogs and have taken care of our friend’s dogs/cats while they’re out of town. I’m a student but I take evening classes, so I can help you out during the weekends, and weekdays, specially at noon in case you can’t make it back home in the middle of the day to let your baby out! I feel very comfortable and happy doing everything dog related. I absolutely love walking, playing and being active with them. I’ll always follow your instructions in how to handle your dog(s) and provide them with a safety environment while having a great time! I understand how stressful it is to not know how your fur baby is doing during the day so I’ll update you directly!

About: For 15 years, I’ve cared for my own pets through every stage of life. Everything from boneless puppy days, anxious rescue transitions, chronic care, and senior routines. Those years have taught me patience, intuition, and how to help animals feel safe. I have a flexible schedule that makes it easy to adapt to your pet’s needs and keep things consistent. **My calendar and availability will be updated weekly on Mondays.** I aim to create a calm, predictable environment. I will stick closely to your routines–meals, walks, meds, and house rules–so your pet’s day feels familiar and low-stress. In your home, I treat the space with care and stay mindful of doors, gates, and any potential risks. (I have my own "Harry Husky Houdini", so I understand an escape artists.) If something seems off, I’ll check in right away. At my home, pets stay in a safe, pet-friendly space with no toxic plants or hazards. We have a doggy door for easy access outside, but all outdoor time is supervised. I never do off-leash time unless we’re in a fully fenced/secure area and you’ve approved it. I tend to communicate often, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel just as at ease, because as a fellow pet parent, I know how hard it can be to be apart.

“Paige was great with Frank! She took the time to meet him before his first walk with her and review his commands and other nuances with that would help things run smoothly. I recommend Paige and will definitely reach out for future walks/help with Frank!”

“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: We took care of our beloved dog for all 12 years of her life. Our house is fully equipped to give your dog a comfortable stay, including a fenced in back yard. And our kids will make sure your dog is entertained and well-loved. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, my husband and I are both gone at work from 7:30am-5pm. So ideally, your dog would be comfortable being alone for an extended period of time if they are with us on those days. All the other days of the week, someone will be home. We have a large house, designated pet area within the home, and a fenced in backyard. We have all the basic amenities to make your dog stay easy on you and comfortable for your dog. We have no other pets currently in the home, but we do have three kids ranging from 3-12 who are comfortable around dogs and have learned how to appropriately play with them.

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life. Small, medium, and large sized dogs, young and elderly dogs, dogs with low energy levels and dogs with high energy levels. I used to pet sit for my neighbors as well, including one neighbor who had two mastiffs and a dalmatian, and another neighbor with a chronically ill dog prone to accidents. I loved them all! I love to go on walks during my free time, so I’d love to walk to visit your pet, or take them along with me. I work part time on a flexible schedule and can easily fit most visit schedules into my day. I take the time to earn an animal’s trust, and go at a speed they’re comfortable with. If your animal wants me to pet and lay with them and brush them and play with them or anything else, I’m there! If your pet is more lowkey or independent, I check in on them and make sure they have everything they need. I look to care for your specific pet, not just check in and call it a day.

“Katie was super friendly and great with the pups, and was so patient even when my puppy gave her a hard time. She sends photos while she’s there and is great with communicating with you. She rocks!”

About: I have taken care of my family dog before she passed for 12 years. I currently own two guinea pigs and care for them everyday. I have had numerous dog walking jobs and have dog sat overnight for the same family for years. I have taken care of dogs of all ages! I currently work part time and attend school fully online. My work hours are typically from 5-9pm 2-3 days a week, so I have plenty of time to play and spend time with your pups! My home only has two caged guinea pigs so no worries about other animals interacting with yours. I will respect all wishes and directions when visiting your home and I have had plenty of experience with this.

“Laura was very engaging and loving toward Otis. She communicated well for the brief time that she was with Otis. She made sure that he was comfortable and gave him a great walk around the neighborhood. We will hate to see her go, but her assets will do her well in her career.”

About: I have personal involvement caring for a household pet. I am an experienced feeder, bather, walker, and more. I know exactly what it means when a dog gives me the “potty look.” I love making new furry-friends while making connections in my community. I’m currently working a part-time job where I am scheduled during the week. I am available to work on weekends and evenings, in addition to week days which vary depending on my part-time schedule I’ll keep on eyes on them at all time, keep them from danger, feed them, take care of them with love and affection. I’ll be attentive to your needs to the pet.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and fish (my own) and for neighbors, friends, and family. I’m attentive, reliable, and very communicative, and I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I follow feeding schedules closely, provide walks and potty breaks as instructed, administer medication when needed, and crate pets if requested. I aim to keep each pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I have open availability and keep my calendar updated regularly. For longer or extended care needs, I appreciate 12–24 hours’ notice so I can plan accordingly. On Mondays and Wednesdays, my evenings are limited, but I’m available mornings and afternoons on those days. I’m otherwise flexible and happy to coordinate to make sure your pet’s needs are fully covered. I will make sure they are fed in a timely manner and they take their medications if needed. I can crate your dog as well.

About: Hi! I’ve fostered both dogs and cats throughout all four years of college, including caring for sick pets and administering medications when needed. Animals have always been a huge part of my life—so much so that my family genuinely thought I would grow up to be a veterinarian. I’m currently a medical student and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and truly love providing a safe, calm, and affectionate environment for them. I’m home all day and able to give your pet full-time attention. I live near the DIA, so frequent walks and plenty of outdoor time with your furry friend are a given. I live in a cozy, clean apartment in a very walkable area near the DIA. My building is extremely pet-friendly and even offers dog treats in the lobby. I provide a calm, safe environment and give each pet plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I follow owners’ routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs, so your pet feels comfortable and at home.

About: Hello! My name is Avery ..... I have had dogs all throughout my life and plan to keep it that way! As a kid I grew up with with two beagles, a chocolate lab, a pit bull, and most recently a rescue shar pei/ lab mix. I love seeing every animals personality shine through and spoiling them with love and attention. Each one of my dogs has loved the outdoors (almost as much as me) and had lives full of adventure and exercise. I have also lived with cats and love them (through my previous roommate). I love animals of all breeds and sizes and would love the chance to meet yours! I am a current student so my schedule is semi flexible at the moment. Currently unavailable/working Tuesday evenings (although i pick up other shifts when im able). I try my best to keep my calendar updated to reflect my availability, please reach out if you have any questions! I am super active and would love to spend time outside walking with your pet if you' like and the weather allows! If not we can spend time in-doors playing.
