Dog Walking In Martin Park

“Valerie has been a fantastic dog walker for my pug, Steve. Communication has been super easy, she always leaves great notes (feedback and pictures) and brings lots of positive energy. Steve has been a very happy boy to have another friend to play with. Very highly recommended!”

About: In a fast paced environment it is easy to overlook our place in the world as animals. Being in close contact with other beings can create connectedness and a sense of place in nature. Simple tasks like dog walking may seem beneath most people, but I see it as an act graciousness and a chance to connect to other beings. As a walker or sitter my goal is to consciously occupy space with your pet. This, for me, means accommodating and changing as situations seem fit. I would also like to stay conscious of any owners wishes and feelings regarding the service I may provide and remember that it is only a service if it works to make their and their pets experience more comfortable.

About: My love for animals runs deep, beginning with my fifteen year old yorkee, Riley🐾, and my two year old kitty, Daisy🌸. I can provide the endless energy needed for puppies and the gentle patient care needed for senior dogs with health problems My day job is only part time, so I have plenty availability for pet care!! Even early mornings (starting at 6am), late nights (10pm latest), or anytime in between😋. I always respect the boundaries of pets and match personalty. Whether your fur baby is energetic and upbeat, or shy and unsure (cats included😉), I will care for them with love and patience.

About: I've had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both dogs and cats as well as smaller pets like hamsters and fish, so caring for animals has always felt second nature to me. I currently live with three cats and am very comfortable with feline routines, personalities and special needs. I also have experience with small and large dogs; from growing up with a Chihuahua to caring for an American Bulldog, so I understand how different sizes and temperaments require different approaches. I am attentive, patient, and always focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for while you're away. I currently work Tuesday-Saturday in the afternoons (typically from 3:30pm-8pm with the occasional later nights). I am available in the mornings for check-ins, quality time, play time, feedings, and walks and I'm happy to help pets start their day calmly and on a schedule. I communicate clearly if my evening availability changes and always prioritize routines and consistency for the pets in my care. Safety, trust and comfort are my top priorities. I provide care in your home so pets can stay in a familiar environment, keeping their routines consistent and minimizing stress. I follow all feeding, walking and care instructions closely, maintain a clean and calm space, and pay attention to details to ensure your pets safety and well-being. My goal is to make both you and you pet confident and relaxed while you're away.

About: I've taken care of dog's of every kind since I was 14. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on to walk, feed and bath their dogs.i have had 3 dogs and I currently have a senior cat and thinking about getting a dog. I loveed dogs since I was a little girl and still to this day. Sizes does not matter to me I have experience with all size of dogs.

I also have a dog park by me.i will make sure your dog is safe in my care and make sure nothing will happen to your dog.

About: I have had a passion for pet care since the age of eleven when I created a pet walking and boarding business within my neighborhood. This business gave me access to assist more pet care opportunities and cultivated a deep compassion for the well-being of the animals in my care. Since then, I have pet sat and walked over 50 dogs and 10 cats, many who are returning clients. I have had the privilege to care for a wide range of small and large breeds of dogs, puppies, kittens, and senior pets. I can confidently assist with pets who have medical conditions and am excited to learn how to best serve your pet and you. Some of the services I have provided to other clients include: walks, engaged play, long term care, specified preparation of food, administering oral and topical medications, transportation, vet trips, grooming, and bathing. I am more than happy to adjust my skills in whatever way will maintain your pet's happiness and your peace of mind. As an anxious pet parent, I enjoy sending updates, pictures, and videos to mitigate any worries you may have while away from your pet. I have a hybrid work schedule and will work with your schedule to prioritize your pet and their unique needs. I greatly appreciate notice with changes to walks/visits but work well with adjustments. I have limited availability for boarding at my home currently. For animals that do come to my house, I spend time beforehand pet proofing to ensure a safe stay. In your home, I do ask instructions are left on how to maintain your space to your preference so there are no disturbances when you return. I can work with whatever parameters you have, especially in regards to entering/exiting the home and shared spaces. Walking safety is important to me and I won't leave the house without a collar and appropriate leash, poop bags, and water if necessary. When it comes to letting pets out in fenced yards, I keep an eye on them to ensure they don't eat anything they shouldn't and that their environment remains safe. Unless specified, your pets will not interact with other animals to keep reactivity levels low and to lessen any stress.

About: My family always had cats and dogs while I was growing up and I’ve also lived with animals on and off throughout my adult life. I wanted to use the down time that I have to care for local animals. I love both cats and dogs! Aside from some freelance work I’m doing on the side, I have ample availability to help care for animals while I’m in the job market for a new full time role. Currently only able to house sit in clients homes as well as drop ins and dog walking if nearby where I’m currently staying in Detroit.

“Surya is great. I first booked her for walks at very short notice when my scheduled walker had unexpected surgery. She stepped in immediately and was dependable and conscientious. Thank you, Surya!”

About: Grew up with pets but can’t have my own right now. I’m looking to help others and get to have be around pets part time! I am self employed with flexible hours every day of the week. I go on daily walks so having a dog by my side would make them even better! I’m kind and gentle and pets gravitate towards me. I’m great at problem solving and always love to send photo updates of your fur babies.

About: I’ve been surrounded by and taking care of dogs since I was young. I have experience with all ages, giving medications and with handling reactive dogs. I am currently working full time (4-5 days) as a server/bartender. My shifts are short(4-5hrs) and usually in the late morning or early evening so I always have part of my day to dedicate to your pet. I do not offer boarding services but I am more than happy to visit your pet and make sure they are comfortable, fed and walked if needed. I enjoy interacting with animals and assessing their body language to meet their needs.

About: Hi there! My name is Grace. I was a dog owner for a long time, and now I'm hoping to meet some new dogs and help you out in the process. I love to jog, and would be happy to take your dog for a run. I love to play fetch or whatever your dog's favorite game is. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I'm trained as a paramedic, so I'm responsible and cool-headed during emergencies. I love all dogs, but rescues and those scrappy-looking mutts hold a special place in my heart. I have experience with larger breeds as well. There's no dog too big or small for me! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I can devote as much time to your animals as you need! I am available on short notice. I love to stay active, so I love going for walks or playing with animals. I live right across from a park with tons of space to run and play.

“Hi highly recommend Greg! I was fortunate enough to not only book him last minute so my pup could get in a walk, but also able to do so on New Years Eve. My pup was obviously quite fond of him because he didn't want to stop playing with Greg once he brought him back home from the walk, and he continued to bring over one toy after the next to show him. I look forward to booking him again in the near future.”
