Dog Walkers in Lathrup Village, MI

About: As a pet parent myself, I know how stressful it is to find someone you can trust to care for your babies. I promise to care for yours exactly the way I’d hope someone would care for mine. I love every animal I meet, as you can probably tell from my photos! I’ve been the proud parent (and pet sitter) of many animals over the years. Dogs (from 4 lbs to 100 lbs), cats (including two rescues with FeLV and “unknown health issues”), birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, and more. I’ve volunteered at multiple rescues and have been watching people’s pets for many years (just recently started with Rover). I am extremely reliable and insured beyond what Rover offers—for extra peace of mind. Your pet’s happiness and well-being is my priority and I can’t wait to meet them! I’m a freelance writer and currently have extra time on my hands. To me, there is nothing better than spending my days with animals. That’s why I have two of my own, I spend my free time with animals as much as possible (visiting/volunteering at different rescues, feeding birds at Kensington, etc.) and now hopefully spending some time with yours! I will care for your pets in exactly the way that you—and your pet—want me to. From walks, to couch cuddles, to playing fetch in your backyard, and more. I will respect your pet/s and your home and will follow any instructions to a T. I have experience with many breeds of dogs and even special-needs pets. I love them all, and I will treat them exactly the way I treat my own pets! I’ll send you pics of our time together, and I can even water a plant or two while you’re gone. Just let me know. :)

“Adam has been walking Bodhi for a while now and the proof of his great work shows up every scheduled day when Bodhi goes to the window to look for Adam just before it’s time for his walk. He just knows his friend Adam is coming to see him! 😂 Adam does a great job, he truly connects with our pup and he’s very easy to work with when we have schedule changes. 5⭐️ for sure!”

“Lonie came to walk my dog Jasper and did such a great job! She spent extra time playing with him in the backyard to help him get his zoomies out, which he absolutely loved. It’s clear she really cares about dogs and enjoys spending time with them. Jasper was happy and calm afterward — thank you, Lonie! Sincerely, Rebecca Freeman”

“Max was great with my German Shepherd, Breezy. My boy can be alot lol, and many people can't handle larger energetic breeds, but Max won him over and seemed to walk him with ease. Breezy was returned happy and tired, which was my goal while I was working. Communication with Max was positive and clear from the start. I recommend!”

About: I’ve cared for family dogs since childhood and now have my own Yorkie! We work from home every day and I’d like to take care of your little bud for some socialization along with Finch. My Rover schedule is matched to my work schedule, best for daytime daycare or overnights on weekdays. Finch and I typically take one walk a day, eat in the morning and night, and have play time and naps during the day. I have a fenced in back patio where your dog and mine can go outside. There is a bell on the door they usually learn to ring quickly and be let out! Maybe they’ll come home with a new skill. We often walk around the quiet neighborhood and to the P Patch. We are in a townhouse with a private entrance and no shared space. Two story house has closed off stairs and dogs stay downstairs. I cover the couch so they’re welcome to lounge in the comfiest spaces worry free!
