Dog Walking in Saint Clair Shores

About: I have owned five dogs and have fostered about a dozen others. I have taken care of dogs for family and friends when they have gone on vacations. Four of my dogs were rescued from the streets and I inherited the fifth. I also had a cat in my younger years. I enjoy hanging out with animals so taking care of other people's pets feels like a win-win. You get peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands and I get to have some furry friends around. I've had dogs for most of my adult life but don't have any right now. My job requires travel at times so I'm not ready to get my next dog just yet. When I'm not traveling, I work from home and it's always nice to have some furry friends around when I'm at home! I have a large fenced yard and can go outside with your dog if that gives you peace of mind. My house is fairly small but there is plenty of room for crates and toys.

“I was in a bind and searched Rober for some pet care recently. My Loki needed some daytime walking while our family members were otherwise indisposed. Nicole had availability, and came to meet us before we sealed the deal. She is very kind, and has a warm way with our pooch. Nicole reliably provided walks for a three-day period in early August, sending photos of my Loki to me while I was working. Our family sincerely appreciated her service. Definitely will try to book Nicole for future walks.”

About: Hi and thanks for reading our profile! My husband and I are both pet lovers with years of experience with our own pets and 5+ years of professional experience. My husband is busy with his full time job these days so I do all of the house sitting and drop ins. Eric does help with boardings in our home. Being a pet sitter is my full time job. My house sitting hours are 6 pm to 6 am with one drop in midday included in the price. Additional drop ins would need to be added to the booking. Dogs boarding in our home are let out every 2 hours at least. Someone is usually always at home to care for your pets. We are very careful with dogs that we walk to keep them accounted for. Dogs in our home are kept gated from our front door to reduce the risk of escape. Our backyard is fully fenced. Dogs that are being house sat/ boarded will be walked daily if you provide an adequate leash/ harness/ collar. Our home is fully fenced in the backyard and reinforced around the bottom for small dogs to prevent escape. We do ask that all boarded dogs be crate trained. This is for their own protection and gives them a safe environment of their own.

“Im so happy I found Katie to watch my dog. She is so reliable and timely. I feel that my dog is in good hands whenever she is there with him. She is friendly and always so sweet and positive. She sends the cutest pictures of their time and walks together. Katie makes sure my dog not only has food, water, and a potty break, but she always goes beyond by giving him treats, comfort, and love! She is prompt with responding and actually cares about the dogs she takes care of. Could not be happier I found her and I can tell my dog loves her!”

“Jillian was a lifesaver! I knew immediately when Zoey met her, we would vibe. I am far away on vacation and she's been a huge help for my family. Being that my dog is a senior, the excellent communication and photos I received has eased my mind. Thank you so much, Jillian!”

“Amber was always punctual and very communicative. She was flexible with times when we needed to adjust Ravi’s walk. Ravi always seemed happy when returning from a walk with her. We will definitely be calling Amber again when we need a dog walker. Highly recommended.”

About: I've been a dog owner most of my life and also have two grand dogs and a grand cat who I care for often. I'm experienced with any age, any sized dog and regularly walk two dogs at a time. When can we meet? I'm looking for a way to meet more dogs when away from my grand dogs and want to walk / and exercise more while providing a trustworthy option for your pet(s)! Inclement weather doesn't matter if your pet doesn't mind it. I'm already an experienced and trusted house sitter, plus dog and cat sitter (and can care for houseplants & yards too). I'll respect your privacy and care for your home & pets like I would my own. I'll provide updates and photos to put you at ease. I truly understand that your pets are your children.

About: Hello! My name is Lucie and I absolutely love pups of all shapes and sizes. From a child, I’ve always had a dog that I’ve cared for of different breeds from Beagle to Elkhound and now a Shepherd/Golden mix. I frequently dog sit for my brother who has an Aussie/Bernie mix. My dog recently suffered a TPLO tear and we’ve had to make significant adjustments due to complications that happened. I learned to help support his 115 pound frame for potty breaks, give shots, and give medications. His surgical team has even joked that I could get a job there once he’s healed up from all that I’ve learned. I work fully remote unless traveling (for which my schedule is blocked). My days are somewhat flexible to meet your families needs. Weekends are also very flexible. If you book with me, I will communicate what times I’m available and can send you photos of your babies. I will take care of your 4 legged friend just like they are my own. Having a very smart and large shepherd myself I’m always on the lookout for things he can get into and make sure everything is picked up so he can’t get hurt or in trouble. Our vet office has consistently told me that I’m one of their most diligent pet parents. Your pets safety and your privacy is always my goal.

“Bridget is super friendly and always leaves notes and photos on chips report cards. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I have been on Rover for 2 1/2 years and have loved every minute! I started caring for animals in highschool, feeding them, playing with them and even changing diapers. As I got older I started hosting dogs in my own home. I have watched all kinds of dogs and try to accommodate whatever needs they have. I like to play with them and give them the love they need while their parents are away. I offer boarding, drop-ins, and doggy daycare services! I signed up for this because I love animals and I cannot get enough of their adorable personalities. Thank you for looking over my profile and I hope we will get to connect! :) I work from home so I am able to walk/ play with the dogs frequently and to attend to their needs. My personal dog goes out typically every 2 hours. My current dog is a doodle and requires brushing every other day. I go for frequent on-leash walks usually 2-3 times a day. We also have a fenced in yard that I can let the dogs play in throughout the day. In the evenings we play ball in our house which is very open. I am willing to walk, play, brush, and care for your pups in any way possible. :)

About: I have experience working at VCA’s across the US. I can handle any type of pet in any type of situation. I will love and care for your pet as though they are my own! I am currently in nursing school full time at Wayne State, I am looking for other ways to be of service in my own life. I have a large fenced in yard your pet would be very comfortable roaming. I am familiar with various harnesses and collars and how to use them correctly for walks.

About: I have cared for animals large and small for over 30 years. I bring vibrational medicine, animal massage, and vibrant play and attention. I am skilled in administering medicines, caring for animals with any special needs, and creating a safe soothing environment to ease both pet and owner. I am a vibrational medicine woman, beekeeper, and writer with my own business. I create my own schedule, with much more availability in the winter. I have a large trusty van to carry animal friends of all sizes. I am committed to partnering with pets and pet owners on individual best care plans. I am flexible and solution oriented. My hearts intention is to create the best experience for all involved.

“My pup was very happy during the meet and greet and loved her walk. Emily was thorough and detailed with everything and made me feel so comfortable during the whole process”

About: I've taken care of my personal pets for 50 years or more, a rabbit, a turtle a guinea pig and lots of dogs and cats. I just recently lost my little Toby due to congestive heart failure in March so I have decided to love and adore other people's fur babies. I'm currently retired and have lots of time on hand to devote to new animals. I live in a safe and friendly environment which allows animals to feel safe and secure. I have a fenced in backyard for them to roam and play freely or a home that's pet friendly. I have time to devote to all pets needs.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs ever since I was 11. I have two dogs myself who are spoiled rotten and I can’t wait to love on and care for your dog too while you’re away! I am able to set my own schedule and I primarily work from home. I can definitely move around my schedule to help meet you and your dogs needs. All I ask is that you reach out in advance:) I currently don’t offer bringing your dog to my home at this time. My senior dog is not welcoming to new dogs. However, my young dog is very social, so if you’re interested she can come and play with your dog as well.

About: I am a pre-vet student with hundreds of hours of pet care experience. I have worked with animals of all shapes and sizes. I would love to share my love with your fur babies. I am currently taking a gap year from schooling to get more animal experience so my availability is very open. I can care for pets any day of the week. I am great with handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am able to crate dogs if needed and am confident in my ability to keep your animals safe as it is my number one priority.

About: Caring for fur members of the family is a very important job! I have cared for my neighbors dogs and attended to their specific dietary needs, specific routines and giving them lots of love! I've dog sat for a week at most and also cared for my neighbors dogs after school while in high school. I am a proud fur mama of two dogs, one small and one large. Taking care of my fur family comes second nature to me, it is a joy to be able to care for the worlds greatest creatures! Animals do not have hands and can't speak like we can, so it important the water bowl is always full, they are fed when hungry and given the right amount of exercise. I will be able to accommodate you and your fur babies needs in any way possible!

“Consistently punctual, attentive, and great with communication. My dog is happier and more relaxed thanks to their excellent care.”

About: I've taken care of pets all my life; from dogs, cats, birds, to exotics like sugar gliders and snakes. I've always enjoyed the different personalities of pets, and caring for them makes for a pawsitively happy day. I am currently a stay at home mother of four. Since they are getting older, I've flexibility in my schedule to share and care for pets. We believe in boundaries, rules and routines. If your pet is accustomed to a specific routine, then ensuring that's achieved, and your pets needs are met, is our goal. We use fencing, crates, and harnesses as appropriate.

About: I have fenced in backyard with room to run around. I'm a very loving person towards animals, they have a certain way of always making you feel special. I grew up with a golden retriever and she was the sweetest. I've had fish as well and care about them like I would a dog or cat. I now have my own puppers. She is a 3 year old German Shorthaired Pointer who loves meeting new dogs! I have been dog sitting for many years for family and friends. I used to stay at the owner's houses but now since I have my own dog I ask that the dogs come to my house. I am home most of the day. I love playing outside, going for walks and cuddling up with the pups. I love to meet new dogs and love learning about their breed and their personalities, they're all so different! Leaving your pets with me will guarantee them a fun safe time! I currently work full-time at home so I'm able to be with the dogs if they come to my home. If dog walking is what you need, I have an hour long lunch each day and can come after 4pm as well. I have a large fenced-in yard and a young dog to keep your pup occupied. I have extra kennels at my house if needed, as well as a gate in my hallway if for any reason I would need it. I have many dog toys and treats to keep your dog happy as well. Daily walks are a must, weather permitted.
