Dog Walking in Royal Oak

About: Hi! I’m Kat! 🐾 I've spent much of my life around & caring for animals, I’ve assisted in volunteer work at a shelter working with animals of all type & size! I have experience with animals with: special needs, medical conditions & special diets. Pet care & well being is my priority, I want to ensure a happy and comfortable experience for you & your animal companion. I'm now exclusively working in animal care & services! My schedule for booking is updated regularly, if there is a date that is unavailable or booked out, please reach out. I may be able to open up my schedule for you! 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 & leads, cooling collars for warmer days, bowls, bathroom bags, and safety gear in my car + on me at all times during our bookings. I carry water with me on walks as well for our furry friend!

About: Hi! I specialize in puppy care, separation anxiety, and brachycephalic breeds. Having a Bulldog of my own has taught me firsthand how to handle the unique needs of smushy-faced dogs — from monitoring breathing to keeping them cool and comfortable. For anxious or velcro dogs, I provide a calm, attentive environment with plenty of reassurance. Puppies get the extra patience, structure, and supervision they need to feel right at home. 🐾 I work remotely full-time, which allows me to be home throughout the day. I do have occasional meetings during the week, but they are typically under 1.5 hours and scheduled in advance. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches of time. I can accommodate morning, mid-day, and evening walks and potty breaks. I’m happy to communicate my schedule ahead of time so you feel fully comfortable. I am fully attentive to the animals. I can provide multiple water/feeding bowls, cooling mats, toys, can give dogs medicine, and lots of love! I guarantee I will respect all boundaries and follow all your directions.

About: As a 4th-year medical student, I currently have a very flexible schedule and would love to spend that time caring for your pets. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and experienced—I’ve cared for bunnies, a dog, and now two cats of my own, along with prior pet-sitting experience. I’ve also used Rover for my own cats, so I’m familiar with the platform and committed to providing the same great experience I would want for my own pets. My calendar reflects the days I’m unavailable, but I’m otherwise open and happy to work with you. Just message me with any needs—I'll do my best to accommodate you and care for your pets. I am unable to care for pets in my own home, but am happy to care for them in your home with attentive, dependable care.

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.

“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!”

“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!!”

“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.”

“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”

“Otis loved, Kevin! He was also extremely attentive and made sure that Otis was cared for and loved. He also made sure Otis got the most out of his walk and enjoyed every second of it. Would highly recommend and will use Kevin again for future walks ☺️”

“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!”

“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.”

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.

“Myranda is a great dog walker, eli loves her! She is always on time she makes sure Eli is safe while also getting some great exercise! Can’t recommend Myranda enough to take care of your best friend!!”

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.

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.

“Alana did an excellent job wearing out my dog! He was exhausted when he got home! I feel like she did a great job and he was safe and well looked after. I would recommend Alana to anyone!”
