Dog Walkers in Lyon Township, MI

About: I’ve always had a dog or cat in my home! Growing up we always had a Golden Retriever :) My most recent dogs were two senior Chihuahua sisters I adopted and one Olde English Bulldog. They have all crossed the rainbow bridge and though I’m not ready to get another pet, I miss having them in my life. One of my seniors had diabetes so I’m trained at administering insulin as well. I’m a stay at home mom of two little boys I share with their dad, though when I have dogs stay with me they stay with their father. For boarding, I live in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of other dogs and great sidewalks for strolls or power walks if needed. I enjoy going for daily long walks myself would love the company. For walks at your home, I never skimp on time outside or if weather doesn’t permit, extra fun and love inside.

“Emi-Lu is definitely the person you want caring for your dog when you are gone. She is thorough, detailed, kind, and compassionate. She even texted me this morning to make sure she could find my key and to ask how long our dog likes to walk. Emi-Lu is the best sitter on Rover!!”

“Lyle did an AMAZING job others both of our dogs - 4 year old GSD and 8 year old Jack Russell Terrier/Beagle mix. He is prompt, kind, trustworthy and best of all VERY experienced. Our dogs were so well behaved long after he was with them. We have since booked 2 additional future occasions and plan to book more. Highly recommended sitter!”

“Rachel was a great help! She walked my dog for week while I was at work and my husband was out of town. Rachel sent pictures and updates each day and was very communicative. We will happily ask her to walk out dog again! Thanks Rachel!”

“Amy came today and helped me out tremendously! I stayed home sick and did not have the strength to walk my dog. We made a pick up adjustment and Amy still came and walked my pup. I'm so grateful!”

Sue S.

“Michelle was very responsive, send us photos of our dog on his walk, and was easy to work with! She was able to accept our booking fairly last minute and we are so thankful. Earl was so happy to have a potty break on our long day of work!”

About: I’ve been around fur babies my entire life, caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I’m comfortable using the intuitive understanding of their needs and behaviors that I have gained throughout my years to adapt my care to match each dog’s unique temperament and routine. I’ve also spent time caring for senior pets for family members, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentleness they require, whether that means maintaining routines, supporting mobility, or offering calm companionship. On top of that, I’ve raised and cared for my own stubborn shih tzu, which taught me a lot about patience and how to handle strong-willed dogs with both structure and love. What sets my care apart from most, I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach, I focus on truly knowing each pet as if they were my own: learning their personality, respecting their routine, and creating a safe, stress-free environment where they feel secure and loved. Clients can expect reliable communication, updates, and the peace of mind that their pet is not just being watched but cared for. As a college student home for the summer, pet care fits seamlessly into a very open and flexible schedule. With ample availability throughout the day and week, there is plenty of time to provide attentive, consistent care. This flexibility allows for adapting to each pet’s routine and ensuring they receive the time and attention they deserve. Creating a comfortable and trustworthy environment is always the top priority. Care is tailored to each pet’s routine to keep things familiar and stress-free, with close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions provided. Walks are always done with safety in mind, using secure leashing and awareness of surroundings. In a client’s home, respect for both the space and the pet’s comfort is key: keeping things clean, calm, and consistent while maintaining open communication. The goal is to ensure every pet feels secure, cared for, and happy, while giving owners absolute peace of mind.

About: I have had pets all my life from our first Basset Hound to our German Shepard/ Rotty mix. I have raised my own two Border Collie Puppies from 8 weeks old into the fantastic trick loving treat eating kiddos they are today. I also volunteered at an animal shelter taking care of cats of all ages and challenges. I am currently working only four days a week so I have extra time to care for your pets! Daily walks are an essential part of my routine and it would be even better while walking your pup! I will do whatever is needed for your pets but I would never treat them any differently than my baby at home. They will have all my attention when I am with them and their safety is my number one priority.

About: I have worked as a pet sitter in high school as well as a veterinary assistant so I have experience with caring for pets, I am also able to give medications for pets who need it. I have experience with both cats and dogs but have more experience with cats! I have my own cat that I care for and love helping watch family or friends' animals when needed. I am an online student so I have lots of time on my hands to give the best care to your babies! I care for pets in your home by feeding, giving water, attention (play, cuddles, walk, depending on animals needs), cleaning litter or letting pets out, administering medication, and generally looking out for their well being.

About: Hi there! 👋 I’m Corrine, and I’ve spent the past 2 years caring for dogs and cats of all kinds — from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely love spending my free time around them.

“Accommodated a last minute booking. I came home to a tired, relaxed dog that didn't have an accident. What a relief I really couldn't ask for anything better. She also sent some really cute pictures.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for about 2 years now. I usually help family or friends when they go out of town. Im currently going to school online part time and I work at Trader Joes on the night shift. Please let me know 2 weeks in advance if you require house sitting. If I’m in a clients home, I will do what the client says is more better for the dog. Whatever is comfortable for them and what they are used to.

“Erika was great. As soon as my schedule gels I'll definitely book her again. She took the time to let Sunny get used to her and was able to cope with her high energy. I highly recommend her.”

“I am so thankful for Michelle. She is a quality person who took amazing care of my sweet dog on an extended vacation. She is a wonderful communicator, reliable and most importantly took exceptional care of my dog. It allowed me to have a stress free vacation knowing that my dog had a walk and got out in the bitter cold and my elderly parent was not faced with that chore. Thank you Michelle. I am so glad to have met you you’re truly a blessing.”

Heather S.

“Michele helped us last minute. She was awesome with communication and sent us some cute photos on their walk. Thank you again Michele! Teddy definitely appreciated your company. 😊”

About: Hi! My name is Celia A.. An animal advocate at heart! Put your mind at ease knowing your dog is in the hands of an adult who is experienced with dogs over 100 pounds and has experience with all dogs big or small! Our previous dog was a big boy, a rescued 120 lb American Bulldog Mastiff and was not dog friendly, which allows me to be aware and understanding of dogs with different personality traits and different needs- it can be a tough challenge sometimes! We now have a one-eared Pitbull named Willow who is as sweet as they get & truly is always just happy to be here. I regularly volunteer in downtown Detroit with CHAINED, a non-profit for dogs living on chains in Southwest Detroit and also volunteer with DACC going on pack walks to get shelters dogs out of the shelter for fresh air and long walks. My husband & I have adopted 3 cats in addition to our sweet Willow girl. I also have many references from years of dog watching! I'm a full-time Realtor, but have a flexible schedule & just can't get enough time with the animals! I also own a floral design company (Flower Bar Floral Design), which also gives me flexibility to devote extra time to animals when it works best for them! I have a fenced yard on 2 acres, your dog is always welcome to come take a run around the yard to get energy out. As for in my client's home, I am extremely aware of any concerns you address with me and will take them to heart to make sure I provide the utmost care and precautions for your fur babes!

“Alyssa walked our dog weekly and we always knew our dog was in good hands. Alyssa took great care to accommodate our dog’s needs and we appreciated all the pictures she sent to document their time together. Alyssa is great with communication and scheduling also.”

“Kaitlyn was wonderful and very friendly and punctual! She provided walking services for our pup Molly and was great at getting her out walking and playing to break up her day. Thanks again Kaitlyn!”

About: I started dog sitting in 2022 for a coworker at the time, and since then I now have 9 different families I regularly sit for. I have experience with a range of dogs (from Toy Aussies to German Shepherds) as well as cats, which I grew up with, and some experience with fish and birds. I love all kinds of animals and getting to know their individual quirks and personalities! I am primarily doing online classes for school and working part-time. My working schedule can be flexible with advanced notice so I can spend the most time with your pet(s)! Whatever is best for you and your pet is what I provide! I’ve cared for very high-maintenance dogs that need multiple walks a day, special diets, etc., as well as very chill dogs that just come in and out as they please and eat whenever they want. I’m very flexible to provide whatever care the pet requires!
