Dog Walking Saline

About: I have been working in clinical veterinary care for 4 years now. As I'm going back to school to complete my vet tech license, I'm looking for more flexible work that can still fulfill my love for working with animals and providing them care. Having worked in many different kinds of veterinary clinics, including overnight in patient care, I can provide high levels of care even to pets with medical needs. I am comfortable administering all kinds of medication, even to difficult pets, and am comfortable with injections and glucose checks. I can also handle bath times, nail trims, ear cleanings and more! If you need assistance with any of those things, I'm also happy to come help. Simply book as a drop in. I believe deeply in meeting pets where they're at, and learning each pets unique ways of communication and their preferences to make them as comfortable and happy as they can be. I am going to school primarily online, so I have a very flexible schedule to attend to clients' pets needs, whenever they may arise or be required. I meet all pets where they're at! I believe all animals' boundaries should be respected, and I try to learn them up front. I have 3 cats, all with different feeding needs, and an elderly dog, so I'm a master at juggling difficult feeding times and home zoos in general.

“Hope is absolutely wonderful! She is very patient, kind and willing to work with my dogs on their behavior issues while walking (pulling, weaving, barking). I cannot thank her enough and would most definitely recommend her.”

“Met with Alise for a meet and greet and she was flexible, personable, punctual and our picky dog loves her! Can't wait to have her come more often!”

Andi K.

“Ray was a great dog walker for Hiro!!”

Kathy M.

“Our dog was supper happy and calm when we got home after Tori walked him and spent time with him. I can see he had a great time with her! She was also easy to communicate with. I would request her services again in the future, and recommend her to other dog owners.”

About: I’m currently healing after a double mastectomy and waiting for reconstructive surgery in the fall. Animals have been a huge source of happiness, comfort, and healing in my life but even more so throughout my journey. I have two cats and two guinea pigs, so I understand the love, patience, and attention pets need to feel safe and cared for. I enjoy spending time with animals of all kind, whether it’s taking dogs on walks, giving extra cuddles, or simply making sure they feel loved and comfortable while their owners are away. I also enjoy walking my elderly neighbors’ dogs and helping care for them when needed. I’m patient, gentle, dependable, and truly treat every pet like family. Everyone loves puppies and kitties! I do too but I find senior dogs and cats interesting because of their personalities. I would love the opportunity to provide a safe, loving, and comforting environment for your furry family members. 🐾 I am available any day and any time. I am very flexible with being available for you. I wake up quite early to tend to my own so I’m an early bird. I’m available to come to your home so your fur babies are comfortable. Scheduled feedings and walks and regular cuddles. I enjoy talking to animals also :) I have a lot of plants at home - I have a green thumb, so watering your plants is included!

“Jaime did a great job walking our old girl. She needs some special attention and he was able to provide that for us. We’re very protective of our dog and he made us feel at ease. Communication was also very good.”

Robert B.

“Hanaa was great! She was very patient and kind with my stubborn and shy pup.”

Maia F.

“Jessie came to watch our Juno 3 days in a row. She overcame obstacles (eg door being locked) and stayed longer to ensure our puppy was well being taken care of. Most importantly, our puppy loved her. Jessie sent us a long report card and tons of videos/pictures after her walk. Highly recommend, will hire again.”

About: I've grown up with dogs since I was a child, and have helped care for all of my family's dogs, including walking, feeding, and dog sitting for them. My parents currently have a rescue dog, who is more skittish and requires additional consideration when I've cared for her. I've also dog sat for neighbors while in high school and college, as well as dog and cat sat for co-workers through the years. I currently work in education, so I have the summers off, and have lots of time for pet care. I also currently have two cats, one is a rescue and took a lot more time to feel comfortable in our home, and the other I've raised from the time he was a kitten. I will give your dogs the same care and concern I've given my own pets. I currently work in education and have summers off, so I have lots of availability, including morning, afternoon, and evening, for pet care. I live locally and can easily get to most neighborhoods nearby. I can come to your home, walk your dog, do a play drop in, and sit with your dog and/or cat indoors or outdoors, depending on what they like!

“Great! She was very understanding of my shy/timid puppy!”

Sunhay Y.

“My dog (and I!) LOVES Maura! She takes great care of him on their walks, is super communicative, and is always very responsible and punctual. I’m so glad we found her! She’ll be our go-to sitter!”

Michelle S.

“Janice is a must if you have a puppy. We have a very energetic puppy that can be hard to walk, but Janice does the best job walking him. She’s a dog expert and shows our little guy so much love and kindness. She’s also very quick to respond, always gives wonderful updates, and is timely. The best.”

Farah S.

“Sophia does a great job and gives our high-energy dog a good work out! She’s also very kind and good with him. We needed a dog Walker for the short term and she’s been a huge help.”

Madonna W.

“Melissa was such a huge help - she responded to a last minute booking and walked and fed Lena for me while I was stuck at work. I greatly appreciated all of the pictures and would definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and I love taking care of them! I have experience with walking them, feeding them, and keeping them company :) I plan to work part-time this summer, but I don’t have anything set in stone yet. Other than that, I don’t have many conflicts. I will probably be free most days and evenings of the week. You can trust me to care for your pet in almost any way they need. I am thorough and will always make sure they are healthy and happy in my care.

“Meredith took a good care of my dog! She is friendly and gives nice photo updates! Also our dog loves Meredith so much! Highly recommend her!! Thank you very much~!”

Hong P.

“Jessi knows just what our Hiro needs. Our rescue dog can fearful of other dogs and be reactive. Jessi’s calm confident demeanor helps our dog remain calm and confident so he is able to walk our neighborhood. Jessi has a way with animals!!”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and am a proud dog mom to my two pups, Julian and Max. Having my own dogs has taught me how important patience, routine, and understanding each dog’s unique personality are. I treat every pet I care for like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is part of my daily routine with my dogs, Julian and Max, including feeding, walks, playtime, and ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine, providing feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of affection, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in any home.

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a kid, but I had my first dog 19 years ago. I am very comfortable scooping poo, litterboxes, cleaning up vomit, and checking for abnormal bowel movements and eating habits that may be from stress while you're gone. I'm great at reading a dog and cat's body language, so I am patient about letting them control the speed at which we get to know each other. I love going for walks, and am used to handling dogs on leash that may get reactive to people, dogs, cars, etc. I've worked with horses in the past, so I can handle a large animal getting excited. Most importantly, I want your dog or cat to have fun! let's play! I work freelance from home, so my days are very flexible. I can do mornings, midday, and evenings very easily. Mon-Sun, and most holidays I am in the Ann Arbor area I will ask where your pets favorite safe spaces are in their home, where they like to hide, where they're favorite treats and toys are. If your dog just needs to romp in their backyard, I'll follow whatever your home procedure is if they need to be cleaned up after or not. I'll also keep an eye out for indicators of stress: vomit, accidents inside the home or outside the litterbox, scratches or bites on furniture, destroyed toys, etc.
