Dog Walking in Park, Detroit, MI

“Rhonda is amazing! She is always timely, respectful and gives wonderfully detailed reports on how their walk / visit went. I would recommend her to anyone.”

“Mary is great with my pitty!! She always did what I needed done and found the time to squeeze him in even in busy days! She does have a bad ankle so due to that we had to switch over so if u have a bigger stronger dog who pulls or is reactive, may be best to find someone else. But otherwise she did the job and walked him even with that ankle :)! She helped us find other options as well and always had tips to help when issues were brought up. She seems to really care about the animals and what they need.”

“Elizabeth is very responsible, very prompt, and very kind. Highly recommended. My dog Ballou is extremely happy and excited when she comes.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — from loyal childhood pets to rescuing animals in need. They’re more than companions to me; they’re family, healers, and honestly, some days I connect with them better than most humans. I understand their need for routine, comfort, patience, and love — the same values I bring from years of childcare experience. As someone who has cared for children professionally, I’m calm under pressure, intuitive to nonverbal cues, and deeply reliable. I know how to create safe, engaging environments, and that carries over naturally to how I care for pets. Whether it’s an energetic pup, an anxious rescue, or a senior dog who just needs a gentle walk and some TLC, I meet them where they’re at. Hi! I’m a college student currently doing my internship at Novi High School, working toward a career in school counseling. I’m also a stay-at-home dad, and in between my family life and my internship, I’m looking to care for pets this summer to fill my cup and earn some extra income doing something I truly love. Animals have always been a part of my life — I’ve had pets since I was a kid, including rescues — and they’ve been a constant source of comfort and joy. Caring for them is second nature to me, and I believe animals deserve the same kind of patience, consistency, and love that I bring to both parenting and working with students. If you’re looking for someone who’s responsible, grounded, and will treat your pet like family, I’d be honored to help. I provide attentive, personalized care that meets each pet’s unique needs. For dogs, that means regular walks, playtime, and positive interaction to keep them happy and active — all while ensuring they’re safely leashed, hydrated, and secure in their environment. For cats, I focus on a calm, clean, and enriched space with fresh food and water, clean litter, and gentle affection on their terms. Whether it’s managing energy levels or giving space when needed, I always prioritize comfort, safety, and trust in every moment of care.

“Miggy loved his walks with Raymond. He had a great time and he took care to make sure he got his exercise. We will definitely be having Raymond walk Miggy again.”

About: Hi! I’m Abby, a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for both cats and dogs. I currently share my home with two sweet rescue cats I adopted in 2020. I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life and understand how unique and particular they can be. In 2024, I spent six months volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I cared for cats of all ages and temperaments. I also have years of experience dog sitting for friends and family, and I grew up with a wonderful family dog who sparked my love for dogs. Whether we’re out for a walk or I’m stopping by to check in, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well taken care of. I’m available full time and happy to follow your routines, send plenty of photo updates, and keep your pets happy while you’re away. I can’t wait to hear from you! I’m leaving my current job in retail so I’m available full time to take care of your sweet kitty or pup! I’m available for walks, overnights and drop ins. I currently have two sweet cats I rescued in 2020 that are 4 and 5 who are my whole world. I will take care of your kitty/puppers just like they are my own.

“Sarah was really good with my dog and sent phot and detailed descriptions of how everything went on the walks. She came to the rescue last minute and walked him for me while I was away on vacation. He did really good with her except for always trying to get his collar on!”

“Shelly made sure to be very quick to respond and to keep us updated every step of the way. When it was too cold to go outside for a walk (single digits!) she switched it up and played indoors. I mis booked the dates and she was extremely understanding and flexible which was so appreciated. Thank you Shelly!”

About: Born & raised in a family with just as many pets as people, I’ve stuck out for getting along with every animal I meet, very well and very fast.

About: I recently lost my two beloved fur babies back-to-back due to old age, and our home feels so quiet without them.

Hourly potty breaks, morning and evening walks, and lots of affection will be part of their daily routine here. Your furry family members will be treated like family in every way.

“Samantha is amazing, she never failed to send pictures and get plenty of exercise with my insanely hyper dog, he just loved her. In February of this year I got into a horrible accident and didn’t wake up for two days, I lived alone and my dog didn’t have anyone, I woke up in the ICU and Samantha was the first one I got a hold of knowing she had a key. She showed and saved my dogs life, my keys were lost in the accident and I had no way to get home. She safely got the key to my family and Obsidian is safe and healthy with me traveling across the United States and happier then ever. I couldn’t thank her enough for being that reliable. I don’t know what I would ever do without my boy.”
