Dog Walkers in Pleasant Ridge, MI

About: Hi! I'm Jenna. I'm reliable, attentive, and I genuinely treat every dog like my own. I've spent a lot of time around dogs with different personalities, from high-energy ones that need a lot of movement to more sensitive or anxious dogs that need a calmer approach. I pay attention to body language and try to make sure they feel comfortable and safe, especially in new situations. I'm pretty active and love being outside, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and attention. I'm also consistent and detail-oriented, so l'll follow your routine and instructions closely. I'll always send updates with photos so you know how things are going. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some playtime, or just someone calm and reliable, l've got it covered. I work part-time so I am flexible with my availability. I control my own schedule and usually can accommodate last minute pet needs. I can also do regular, repeat schedules. I focus on keeping dogs calm, safe, and comfortable by paying close attention to their behavior and energy. I follow your routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, and any specific instructions you have. I’m confident handling strong or high-energy dogs and make sure walks are controlled and structured. I’m also respectful of your home and will always keep things clean and secure. You’ll get updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing.

“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!!”

“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”

“Ashley was prompt, professional! She is a very experienced pet caretaker, so I felt confident hiring her. Draper loved seeing her and thoroughly enjoyed his afternoon walk with her. When Ashley dropped Draper off, Draper did not want her to leave, it was just so cute to see. As a dog mom, she made me feel 100% comfortable leaving him in her care. This was the first time I have ever hired a walker for him, but have not been able to walk him due to a slight knee problem. I couldn't be happier that I found her. I am booking her again soon for another afternoon walk. I highly recommend Ashley!!”

About: I got started dog-sitting as a teenager, because every family I baby-sat for had dogs as well. I've spent years walking and taking care of dogs, though I've never had one of my own. I love dogs, but through my adult life so far, I haven't lived in an apartment complex that allowed them. I am up for long walks and playtime. I also just moved to the Detroit-area from Kalamazoo, and walking dogs seems like a great way to get to know the neighborhoods.

About: I’ve been around all sorts of animals my whole life, but specifically specialize in dog care. I have three years of experience dog daycare, trained in giving a variety of breeds nail trims and baths, and currently studying to become dog trainer certified. Aside from that experience, I am also trained in dog first aid and cpr. I highly prioritize your loved one’s safety first. I do personally love taking care of senior animals. They go at their own pace and I will always be patient and accommodating for them what ever their special needs may be. No matter what age your furry friend is, or breed, or size, I will treat your pet with the utmost care and love like they were my own. I currently have open availability with a lot of flexibility right now. My times on here will always be current so there is no confusion in availability. I wake up around five every morning and don’t go to sleep until 10pm, so there is flexibility where I can be to help out. I do walk everywhere, but will always show up right on time to make sure your pets are taken care of. As mentioned before I am trained in dog first aid and CPR. Aside from that I am well versed in illnesses or complications your pet may have and will collaborate with you for anything else health related. If things become unsafe for either your dog or myself I will let you know as soon as I am aware of it, and we can go from there together as well. While on walks with your furry friend, they will be my number one priority. I won’t have my head in my phone or take them somewhere that’s not appropriate. If anything is to your dislike, please let me know so we can either work it out or go our separate ways.

About: I have cared for my family and friend’s dogs over the years when they have been in need of a sitter. I love dogs and treat them as if they were my own while caring for them. My schedule is very flexible in terms of care and I am often during the work week as well as weekends. I have experience walking a dog each day over lunch and it is truly the best part of my day! I work from home so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to letting dogs out and walking them during the normal weekday 9-5. When pets are in my home to visit, I create the best environment possible for them. I stick to their owner’s schedule and make sure they are comfortable in my space.

“Kristin was very thorough and thoughtful when meeting our pups. She did a great job walking our dogs and following up with how they did. We would definitely consider booking with her again.”

“Andrea is just the best! I recently moved to town and started a new job where I needed to be in the office, she instantly was able to help me out and has been flexible with my scheduling needs. This is the first time I've left my pup alone during the day and Andrea's consistency, love for Ivy, and thorough reports and pictures gives me such peace. I know my girl is in good hands with Andrea!”

Health, safety and well being of an animal is a priority to me, in my personal life and in the experience I have caring for animals, it is not something I take a risk on and is my priority as a guardian and caretaker, I do not take any chances with possibilities of potential harm or safety of an animal. I also keep extra leashes, bowls, bathroom bags and safety gear in my car at all times just in case. I carry water with me on walks as well for our furry friend!

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I have a pitbull boxer mix named Pepper at home as well as three cats. I am fully experienced with all aspects of their care including walking, feeding, administering medication, spending quality time, and more. I believe in positive reinforcement only and am well acquainted with pets of any age, size, or temperament. I will do everything I can to make time within my weekly schedule to care for your pets. Weekends or weekdays, as well as overnight stays, are fine by me. I believe in patience and positive reinforcement with pets. I am also very respectful of your home and their living spaces and will be mindful of any boundaries set concerning those.

“So grateful to have Autumn coming everyday to walk the dogs and feed them. She is punctual, provides a great report and takes pix every time. She has also been so helpful and added services we needed added on last notice. We feel very comfortable and the dogs love her!”
