Dog Walking Royal Oak

“Kat is our new FAV! She is such a kind person and huge animal lover. She took care of our pup for us last minute, and sent lots of pictures and messages. She also arrived early and stayed a few minutes late to let our dog cool down and relax after their walk. She made sure to ask us all the questions and took detailed notes during the meet & greet. I couldn’t recommend her enough, so amazing!!”

“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!”

“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!!”

“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”

“Robyn was equally wonderful with my high energy pup as she was with my very shy pup. She was very communicative which I appreciated. Will certainly use her again in the future!”

“Renee is fantastic! She communicates clearly and always keeps us up to date throughout the week. Gibson has a great time when she stops by, and we love keeping up with the stories and pictures from Renee’s visits/walks!”

“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.”

About: Hello! I’m an experienced pet sitter with several years working in a kennel environment and as a groomer. I also enjoy fostering/training dogs for local shelters! I have experience with behaviorally complex dogs as well as working and giant breeds. In addition to professional experience caring for dogs, I also have three personal dogs that I train, show, and trial with in sports! I work from home, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’m generally not out of the house for more than an hour or two each day. I want your dogs to feel at home here! My three bedroom home has a fully fenced yard and is set up to be safe and comfortable for pets. Dogs who prefer to be the only pet are welcome to solo access to the back yard and one on one time in the house with me! Safety is always my first priority, so all dogs are crated for meal times and when unsupervised/over night. Please note that we have one adult cat in the house! While she is very dog savvy, I’m happy to ensure she is in a separate space if needed.

About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds and sizes since I was a kid. I work at a dog daycare and boarding center where I take care of all kinds of dogs with various needs and administer medication if needed as well. Im working part-time and my schedule is flexible so I can be available for pet care at any time most days of the week when needed. I can show up to your home and take your dog on walks or let them outside either on leash or in your yard if it's fenced in. I can feed dogs and cats and play with them to get out some of their energy. If your pet needs medication or vitamins I can administer those as well from my experience doing so at my job.

About: Hi, my name is Carla. I am a 29-year-old Occupational Therapy grad student, marketing professional, and animal lover! I’m located in Royal Oak centrally close to a lot of neighborhoods. I am looking to pick up work to get some time outside more and make some extra money for school. I have always had a pet in the house! Growing up I had a cat and a dog that I was responsible for. I’ve lived with dogs recently, and I currently have my own cat. Unfortunately, I am not able to offer boarding or care at my current apartment, but I am happy to do overnight stays if needed in the client’s home. I have a pretty flexible schedule because I work full-time online so if I needed to work from a clients house or take my lunch break to do a dog walk all of these options are very easy for me to navigate. I would like to do a few dog walks or pet check ins a week, including weekdays or weekends and potentially an overnight once or twice a month . I will not be having pets at my home, but I am very mindful of pet safety whether that be on a walk or at a client’s house. I will ensure to know the temperament of the animal before I arrive. If the animal is afraid of me, I will contact the owner and reevaluate the situation so as to not add additional stress on the animal. As a general rule of thumb when walking a dog if another dog is approaching us, I will cross the street and I always make sure that if I am taking the dog out outside, they are on a leash or in a fenced in area.

“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!!”

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 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.

About: I’ve grown up with yellow labs my whole life, so caring for dogs has always come naturally to me! My current lab is 6 years old, and my previous lab lived to 16, so I have experience with both energetic puppies and sweet senior dogs. I know every dog has their own personality and pace, and I’m very patient, attentive, and loving with all ages. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or just relaxing with company, I’m happy to match their vibe. I genuinely love being around animals and making them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Expect lots of playtime, attention, and photo updates :) I’m currently a student and on summer break, so I have a very flexible schedule and lots of availability!

Pet care fits easily into my routine, especially during the summer when I love spending time outside enjoying the Michigan sun and nice weather. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. In a client’s home, I do my best to keep their normal routine the same, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I’m very attentive, patient, and respectful of both pets and homes, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos!

About: Growing up, my dog was my best friend. The family dog was always just that, part of the family. My wife and I recently got our first puppy, and we couldn't be more excited to have all that love and fur running around the house. I work in software and my current role is work-from-home and part-time, so I have lots of time and flexibility to help out neighbors and make some new dog friends along the way. I'm available weekdays and weekends any time after 10am. I will treat your pet and your home like my own. I'll work to earn your trust as well as the trust and affection of your dog. I'm a huge proponent of positive reinforcement training methods and will make sure your dog is loved and supported along the way.

“Suzanne is great..She was able to walk our dog in the neighborhood weekly and he loved it and he also loved her. She was very kind, professional and prompt.”

“What a great week of walks. Kevin is beyond a dog walker. He goes above and beyond just walking. He loves the dogs as if they are his own and actually takes time to get to know my dogs. Kevin is very communicative at all times. He has been on time to all the scheduled walks. My girls already love Kevin and get so excited when they know he is coming.”

About: I have cared for animals my whole life. From the time I was a child taking care of my own dog until now. I have experience taking care of small animals like Rodents to even larger animals like horses. I am not afraid of any challenge your pet may have in store for me. Working in an animal shelter has also given me some medical experience so if medications need to be offered that is not a problem. I recently arrived back to the US from study abroad in Europe and I’m looking to fill my time giving care to your pets while I settle back into life in the states! I treat pets with the same love and respect I show to people. There is no request that is too much because these are our babies and they deserve the very best.

“Danielle was great! Friendly and sweet to my pup. She also helped me out when I’m in a bind recovering from a surgery. Really appreciate the whole experience.”
