Dog Walking Lathrup Village

“Gary is the best!! He's so amazing with my pups! They love him and really enjoy their walks with him. And, he really helped me out when I found myself in need of a walker on short notice. Can't say enough how thankful I am for him & Rover.com!!”

“Samantha was very kind and caring to my sweet old boy Loukas. She was also very accommodating with my schedule and logistics as we were only in town visiting. I would gladly trust Samantha with Loukas’ care again”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have grown up around a large variety. I’ve pet sat and dog walked for friends and neighbors over the years off and on. I work from home during the week and come a go a bit on weekends. I wouldn’t ever be gone more than 8 hours for any animal. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. I’m very attentive to pets in my home and make sure that they are in safe environments with everything they need. I am very respectful in other people’s homes and make sure the pets are well taken care of. If boarding at my home, I did just get two roommates who live upstairs and one of them has a cat who is friendly with dogs. There is a door to separate the upstairs as well.

“Lizzi was amazing! I had an injury to my leg and could not walk my almost 8 month old German Shepherd for three days. Lizzi took such great care of Maverick. She came two times a day to walk Maverick and he loved her. She is professional and very knowledgeable about dog training and her confidence was there too which made me feel at ease right away. I would definitely hire Lizzi again. She was a life saver for me.”

About: As a dog owner myself, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s pet. I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I enjoy staying active and would love to help give your dog the exercise and attention they need throughout the day.😊 Pet care fits easily into my daily schedule.

(Weekends: upon request) Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll always pay close attention to your dog’s behavior, surroundings, and individual needs during walks and visits. I provide a calm, caring, and safe environment where your pup can feel comfortable and well cared for. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide so you can feel confident knowing your dog is in good hands.

About: Loving care for family dogs has been a daily fundamental for years — excited to provide a safe happy and playful environment to all our furry friends! I have loved caring for neighborhood dogs and cats for years. I’m finding myself with more time for walks now that my dog Sadie is spending more time around the house… eager to be an enriching and fun loving caretaker for furry friends! Yard is very spacious and fenced in. Close attention during play and daily exercise activities are paramount to me. While walking I prefer to be extra cautious, aware of surroundings without ear buds in, carrying water and reward snacks with us.

About: Caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other pets, so understanding their personalities and needs comes naturally. I've walked and cared for rescue dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels at the dog shelter I've volunteered in. I've also dog sat for friends and family over the years, and have even helped care for Rover clients' dogs on behalf of friends who were sitters. These experiences have taught me how important it is to provide not just basic care, but patience, consistency, and lots of affection. I treat every dog as if they were my own, whether they love long walks, energetic playtime, or simply relaxing with good company. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners complete peace of mind through reliable care and regular updates. I'm employed full-time, but I have a flexible hybrid work schedule and can work from home when needed to provide attentive care for your pup. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine, and I intend to make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. An added bonus is that my wife, who's an even bigger dog lover than I am and has owned dogs throughout her life, is home during the day. That means your pup will have extra companionship, supervision, and lots of affection while staying with us. On weekends, we're both home and can dedicate our full attention to keeping your dog active, happy, and comfortable. The best care comes from keeping pets comfortable by following the routine they're already familiar with. I'll stick to your feeding schedule, walking routine, potty breaks, playtime, bedtime, and any special instructions you provide. If your dog has medications, dietary restrictions, or favorite toys and activities, I'll make sure those needs are met. I enjoy playing with dogs, going on walks, and making sure they get both physical activity and time to relax. I also know how reassuring updates can be, so I'll send regular photos and messages so you can see how your pet is doing while you're away.

About: Hi there 👋🏼! My name is Jess and was a vet nurse for 4 years, worked at a dog kennel for a year, and interned in wildlife rehabilitation. I also have farm animal experience and grew up pet sitting for family and friends. Whether it’s a puppy, senior dog, cat, or even unique pets, I’m confident caring for them. I can handle medications, special needs, and all personalities with patience and love. I had a cat for 16 years and currently have an Akita/Belgian Malanois mix, Paddy, who keeps me on my toes. She is dog aggressive and is high energy. She has taught me so much and built my confidence in caring for pets with similar personalities! I do dog walking and drop in visits & keep my calendar updated! I'm excited to get to know your pets and care for them like they are my own 🐾💜 I’m currently available for walks/runs 3–4 times a day. My schedule is flexible, including most weekends. I’ll update my calendar to reflect my availability! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines and instructions closely to ensure pets feel comfortable and safe. I provide feeding, exercise, medication administration if needed, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. I also make sure to keep the home tidy, report any concerns promptly, and give updates so owners feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

“Mat was a lifesaver for us when we were heading out of town and needed a dogwalker, he was new to our family but made us feel confident that our little dog was in great hands. We will definitely reach out to Mat for his help in the future!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve been caring for pets since I was 8 years old and currently have a dog of my own. I know every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I’m happy to provide loving, reliable care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and have a flexible schedule. I am a social worker and am on the road a lot so I have plenty of flexibility to drop in and see pets in the mornings and evenings. I have many years of experience taking care of animals so I am familiar with walking dogs, feeding, crating, and love playing with pets! Caring for pets is a huge passion of mine.

About: I've had dogs throughout most of my childhood and adult life. Currently, I'm a parent to two pit bulls, Ella and Omar. We've been together for the past 13 years. We take at least two walks a day and on nice summer days sometime three. I'm experienced with handling both big dogs and small. I've attended training classes with both of my dogs and I learned that the training is as much for us as it is the dogs! I enjoy giving lots of love and attention to both of them and my wife and I treat them like our own children. They are getting a bit older now, 13 and 12, but they are barely slowing down! If you have active dogs I'm more than happy to go on runs with them or if you've got senior dogs I can do slow walks and/or give plenty of couch potato cuddles too. Basically I love hanging out with furry friends. I work part time in the evenings on Monday and Wednesday from 6-10. In addition to that I'm a freelance illustrator and work mostly from home. Other than that I have a very flexible schedule. For my two pitts I have a fenced in yard. Both are also crate trained and very well mannered. While we are gone they usually have the house to theirselves as they are behaved enough to not make a mess while we are out. They only stay in their crates for short periods of times like when we have numerous guests over or when any maintenance or service people come over. I'm a pretty mellow person that understands dogs all have their own personalities and I do my best to match their energy. I don't get bothered when any messes or accidents happen, as I understand that's just an occasional part of life with dogs and cats. Most of all I just want our furry friends to be happy and comfortable.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and would be honored to care for your furry family member. I had my beloved Toy Poodle, Chopin, from the time he was just 3 months old until he passed away this past July at the age of 16. He was such a huge part of my life, and I miss him dearly every day. As Chopin got older, he developed various health issues and needed medications and extra care. I became very comfortable administering medications and paying close attention to changes in his health, comfort, and behavior. Caring for him throughout his senior years taught me how important patience, gentleness, and individualized care are. I’m not quite ready to have another dog of my own, but I would absolutely love the opportunity to spend time with dogs again. I would be so happy to meet your pup, get to know their personality and routine, and care for them with the same love and attention I gave my own dog. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or a senior who needs a little extra TLC, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and care. I’d love to say hi and hopefully become a trusted friend to your dog! 🐾❤️ I’m a stay-at-home mom with a fairly flexible schedule. I’m generally available in the mornings and early afternoons, and I’m happy to work with your schedule when possible. I’m typically not available after 3:00 PM. I prioritize safety, comfort, and following each pet’s normal routine. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs, and I’ll make sure your dog is supervised and in a safe environment at all times.

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities and needs! I’ve spent over 500 hours volunteering at an animal shelter, where I walked large, strong, and reactive dogs and learned how to work with dogs with a wide range of behavioral challenges. I also have personal experience managing strong, reactive pitbulls in my own family, so I understand the importance of patience, reading body language, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. I’ve lived with multiple shelter dogs with behavioral quirks and fostered a shelter dog with behavioral challenges for eight months, giving me experience with the consistency and understanding that some dogs need to feel safe and comfortable. I am also experienced with giving medications. I’m comfortable with dogs who need a little extra patience, space, or understanding, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also have experience caring for both friendly and more temperamental cats, along with previous pet-sitting experience. Whether your pet is energetic, nervous, reactive, independent, or just a little quirky, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own! I am a grad student, so my schedule varies from week to week. However, I do my best to be flexible and communicate clearly about my availability. I am happy to coordinate with you ahead of time to find a schedule that works for both of us! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their usual routines and following their owner's instructions closely. I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are in good hands while you’re away!

“julia came on time and loki went right out with her - kind of unusual because he is often reluctant to go with someone he doesn't know. i am very appreciative that i didn't have to walk him today. i would definitely call on julia again”
