Dog Walking in Russell Woods, Detroit

“Mary Kay is wonderful! She takes my dogs on walks and takes pictures of them on their walks. I look forward to having her take my dogs on more walks!”

“Joy is excellent with all animals. She loved and cared for my dog while we were on a 9 day trip. She is trustworthy to stay at my home and walked Ruger and sent us pictures of all the fun and love he was having. I highly recommend Joy to any family.”

“I've known Pam for more then 10 years. She is such a caring, loving person. Very trust worthy and hard working too. Dedicated to what she puts her heart and mind too, she will be the perfect fit to watch your fur baby. Her dog and cat are very loved and spoiled, and yours will be too.”

“Lily has been so awesome with our dog, Kenai! He loves her and gets so excited for his walks with her twice a week. He is already doing better on his walks and seems to be learning a lot.”

“Heather is an amazing young lady who shows compassion for others. She is very caring and loving and would treat your pet like a member of her own family. She will make sure that when your pet is in her care she will keep them safe and protected. Your family member(pet) will be in great hands and you can feel safe knowing Heather is taking good care of them, and did I say she is amazing!”

“Freya is one of the only people I would trust to care for my pets. She has a heart of gold and goes above and beyond. She has been very reliable and given the best care and attention to my furry friends. I highly recommend her!”

About: I am primatologist and welfare animal scientist. Everything I do in life revolves around animals. I have worked with orangutans, gorillas, tamarins, snakes, birds, goats, sheep, fish, dogs, cats and a lot more. I am versed in training, meditation administration and pricing tender loving care to our senior buddies. Do not fret, your babies are in geat hands. I also have a green thumb if you need extended care. I am available day and night as I am currently transitioning in this journey of mine called life. I am available weekends and some holidays too. Even visiting your home I will be able to provide play (and if we talk about your training techniques I may be able to continue your hard work to make it consistent whilst you are away). I mould my care services for all of your pets based on their specified individual needs.

About: I've been an animal lover since I was a young girl and was the family caretaker for my dogs and cats even as a kid. The moment I was able to, I adopted both dogs and cats of my own and they are so loved. I've informally dog sat for my friends and am happy to provide the service more formally for the public! I work full time, Monday-Friday, however, I work remote Mondays and Fridays. I'd love to provide services over a long weekend or would be available in the early morning, lunch, or evenings for a walk. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs of my own to keep yours company. I also have a crate depending on your preference and routine for your pup. I understand the importance of health and would be able to administer any routine medications as needed. I used to foster for a local rescue and have had dogs of all personalities in my care.

“Andrew is a friend and neighbor. I can tell you that I have observed how he treats his own dog, Roo. She is incredibly spoiled and wants for nothing. Beyond that, having known Andrew now for decades, I will say this: any work or any thing he gets involved with he whole heartedly embraces. He takes great pride in his work. You can know that he has an unparalleled sense of integrity. If he says he will be there, he will be there. Highly dependable. If I needed someone to help care for a pet, he would be the absolute, top of the list go to guy.”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs in my family and have experience caring for pets of different breeds, ages, and needs for almost my whole life. I live in a ~950 square foot home with a fenced in yard. I work from home part time and typically have weekends available. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, and overnight boarding. I love animals and signed up for this service to make some extra money on the side, but also because being around animals brings me so much joy! I promise to ensure a safe and loving environment for your pet that includes lots of cuddles! I work full-time, but typically work half the week from home and am able to provide potty breaks and walks when I’m working from home. I also have weekends available for walks, boarding, and overnight care. I have a fenced in yard to ensure your pet has access to frequent potty breaks as well as space for play. My home also has spaced for a crate if needed. There is also a park in my neighborhood for exercise as well.

“Mason was amazing with my senior dog Myles. Mason saved us on very short notice. Would definitely book again.”

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.

“Rachel has helped take care of my pups (all 7 of them!) for close to a decade now, and has done a phenomenal job every time. She is the kindest, most caring, sweetest, hardest working, most animal loving pet sitter anyone could hope to find, and will always put your pet’s health and wellbeing first and foremost in every decision she makes. Our dogs LOVE going to see their “2nd mother”, as they’re always treated as members of the family every time she takes care of them.”

About: I've always had a love of animals and their care my whole life. I took extracurricular activities focused on zoology/animal care in high school, and have been the first one friends and family look to when it comes to animal care, behavior, and taking care of them the best they possibly can be. I’m experienced in giving pets medications, adhering to feeding schedules, taking them out for walks and playing with them, and of course cuddling with them. I've taken care of dogs big and small, old and young, gentle and rambunctious, and I've loved every second of it, so I know I'll enjoy sitting for you and your pets just as much! Pet care fits in my daily routine with my own cat, Luna, who I adopted 2 and a half years ago. I make sure she gets fresh, cool water and a refilled bowl every morning, keep her entertained by playing with her and opening the blinds so that she can enjoy looking outside, and manage her allergies to dust by keeping her out of dusty corners and periodically spraying her coat with a vet-approved spray. In my home, I care for my pet by sectioning off areas of the house that are either a hazard or could aggravate her allergies to dust and keeping it as clean as possible so that she can't get into anything potentially harmful. In a client's home, I would follow whatever guidelines they set so that I can best provide the care their pet(s) require.

“Rory watched my 2 cats and my neighbor’s cat all in the same week. He put so much time and effort into giving them love and attention I knew they were so safe and happy in his care. At the time, one of my cats was a very young kitten and needed extra attention and he went above and beyond providing it to her. He was very respectful inside my home, even watered my plants for me. He is now the only one I trust to watch my babies and any animal would be lucky to have him watching over them. Thank you Rory!”

About: I have loved animals since childhood and spent 2 years working for a veterinarian as a kennel technician. I have experience with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. I raised a beautiful black lab coonhound mix who is currently 8 years old and very well behaved. I am hardworking, reliable and have a fairly open availability. I am at your service :) I have a fairly open availability as I currently work part time. I get up around 5am and stay up late. I am very flexible. I will treat your pet with the same care and affection I give my own pets. I will ensure they are adequately exercised and secure.

“Hannah was awesome! She was very responsive and always gave me updates. My dog really liked her and he became more comfortable around her. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life. Super sad, I just laid to rest my baby of 14years Fiona, she’s in the pictures with our son, she loved to lay next to dad and her bestie our son O while they did push Ups, she never missed a thing. So grateful for the time we had with her. We would love the honor to love on your baby 🥰 I work from home and homeschool our 6yr old son “O”. We start our mornings with a walk around the neighborhood track(we’re usually the only ones out) then pick some veggies or herbs from the garden. After lunch we take another walk for gym class or a bike ride. We also take evening family walks with my husband after he’s done with work (he also works from our home office). We have a fenced in yard, but would never leave your dog(s) by themselves out there. We take your trust in us very seriously and will take every measure to make sure they have a great time while they’re here. My son and I like to color, paint and birdwatch during the day as well. So your dog will be loved and livin it up especially if they like the outdoors, if they don’t no worries they can hang with my husband in the dry house/office. We know how important it is to keep dogs active, loved and fed 😉 We are honored you’re thinking about giving us the opportunity to watch your dog/baby!

“Andrew is so nice always takes my dog on long walks and very reliable!”

“Sharde did an excellent job with our dogs! We hope to use her services again in the future. She communicated quickly and efficiently and sent photos when asked. Pups came home happy and tired.”
