Dog Walking Scio

“Betsy was very reliable as well as roll with the punches. Our dog didn't eat her breakfast so Betsy allow her to eat before walking. Se sent us pictures while we are away. I would highly recommend.”

About: I grew up caring for my family’s two rescue dogs in Hong Kong before moving to Ann Arbor. When we first adopted them, they were timid and fearful around humans. Through patience, consistency, and daily walks, I helped them slowly build confidence—step by step—into the happy, adventurous pups they are today. That experience taught me how important calm, understanding care is, especially for shy or sensitive dogs. Every dog is unique, but all dogs deserve safe, happy walks tailored to them. Does your dog prefer a slow, relaxed stroll, or are they more into a full-on sniffari? Let me know their personality and walking style so I can make each walk enjoyable and stress-free. I work from home, which allows flexibility, though my availability can sometimes be limited due to other commitments. Please feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to discuss your needs and do my best to accommodate requests. I do occasionally travel back to Hong Kong to care for my dogs when my brother is away for work, which may mean limited availability for short periods. I know this may seem like a lot, but it’s simply because I deeply love and care for my dogs—and I promise to treat yours with the same patience and attention. I currently do not have a fenced yard and is working to save enough to build one. If you’d like me to do drop-visits, I will treat your home like my own.

“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!”

“Thanks!! If you pick him up and carry him to the road he’ll be more likely to walk. But I just wanted someone yesterday to check in and feed him and entertain him even more than “walk” him so it was perfect. He LOVES to just lay on grass.”

“Ashley has been amazing with Dudley. Her promptness and thorough report makes me feel so at ease on the days she walks him. He’s always so happy to see her and she is very sweet with him.”

About: I have owned two dogs as pets. One lived to be 17. My dogs I have owned were both spunkie and lots of fun! I also worked in Illinois for a local dog walking/sitter company. I would walk my dogs for 20 I do walks in all kinds of weather. I had 2-4 dogs a week. Frankie a male dog and Ginger an older arthritic dog; they were my regulars. I would end every visit with petting and a treat. I really love my dogs and took very good care of them. Every visit ends with a text to the owner including a cute photo and information on whether the dog peed and pooped. I also volunteer at the Huron Velley Humane Society. My son has had all kinds of animals so if you have a bearded dragon or hamster I am familiar with many different pets. I love the flexibility. I enjoy getting outdoors and I love animals. This is a great combo for me. I’m recently stopped working this will a great way to fill my days. My dog gets a lot of love. I believe the best part of dogs is they are simple they just need attention and love. The last two dogs I had I gave lots of petting and hugs. Dogs also need stimulation whether it be playing fetch or using a Kong or some other activity an owner may have I like to incorporate that into my visit.

“I would definitely recommend Brandon. He was on time and sent updates during the walk. Great walker”

About: I've been caring for pets my whole life, and have been a trusted sitter for family and friends for many years. I've also been a volunteer for the Humane Society since 2019, helping socialize and train some of the most challenging shelter dogs and cats. I have experience with large and xl dogs, senior animals, and puppies and kittens 8 weeks and older. I grew up in a family that adopted all sorts of pets, from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, horses, parakeets, and one very majestic iguana. While I don't currently have any pets since my last elderly fur baby crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I look forward to adopting again in the future from a rescue organization. I'm a freelance grant writer, which means lots of flexibility to meet your scheduling needs. I can do drop-in visits and overnights at your home, and will happily send you as many photos as you like. Your trust and your fur baby's well being are my top priorities. I always make sure to follow any instructions or rules you have for your home and pets.

About: I currently work at a vet tech. I’m hoping to pursue veterinary school within the next couple years. I have a cat, dog, and tortoise of my own. I love taking care of animals. I’m willing to be flexible with rates too. I have experience sitting independently. New to Rover though! Im working part-time so I have plenty of flexibility with my schedule and will do my best to accommodate your fur babies. They’ll be treated like my own! I cannot provide boarding unfortunately as I don’t have a house. However, I am definitely willing to come sit and do overnight stays if you live a reasonable distance from me.

“Tanu is so great with Walter - he took to her right away and they've had some wonderful walks in the neighborhood. She is sweet, caring and understands the dog's needs.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats since I was very young. I’ve always grown up with a pet living in our home which has given me the opportunity to gain much experience with how to care for different animals. I currently have two lab retrievers! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! :) I am currently taking classes at WCC which is what I spend a majority of my time on. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m sure we can figure something out! I make sure to take in any information given to me by my clients to make sure they are 100% satisfied. I will be sure to pay close attention to the pets and make sure that they are properly cared for!

“Great communication and shows a lot of patience with my little guy, who is a bit anxious and likes to bark”

About: I've been pet/house sitting for eight years now via word of mouth. All sizes of dogs, cats, and even bearded dragons. I believe part of why I can connect with animals well is getting to know each pet's personality and individual needs. I'm experienced in daily walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning, basic medication if needed, and plenty of love/attention. I understand how important routines are to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I'm committed to that reliable and attentive care. I'm more than happy to update you with as many photos and messages as needed for your peace of mind. Lastly, in case of an emergency or even simply needing a resource, my sister works at a vet clinic I can always contact. I'm currently between jobs after moving and have an open calendar. I'm working on securing a part-time remote job that I can work around your pets needs with. Pets will be cared for in your home by not merely following instructions but also paying attention to detail, maintaining routine, and building trust with them. I'll make sure they have a safe environment, fresh water, and a clean/tidy space, making your time away from them as stress-free as possible. Exceptional pet care goes beyond meeting the bare minimum. I always emphasize caring for that pet's needs, so whether that's cuddles, playtime, long walks, or simple quiet companionship, I'm happy to match their personality/energy to create an enriching experience. Every owner, pet, and house is treated with respect and professionalism.

“Excellent dog walker! Mendongexue came twice a day. She was consistently on time, very sweet with Rosie, and took her on unhurried walks. Lovely and professional.”

“I really appreciate Brianna taking the time with my dog! She really has great communication skills! I get confused easily and she explains very well. She is always there when we need her. I feel she loves Ruger like he was her dog!”

“Stephanie is absolutely fantastic! She is 100% reliable and went above and beyond what she was hired to do. I cannot recommend her highly enough and will hire her again when needed!! if I could give her 10 stars, I would.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family didn’t have a dog of our own, so I became the go-to dog sitter in my neighborhood. I would walk, play with, and care for other people’s pets whenever I had the chance. That early experience turned into a genuine passion for understanding dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their family was away. As soon as I had my own home, I adopted a puppy and fully committed to raising and training him with love and respect. I’ve trained him to walk off-leash, respond reliably to both vocal and hand signals, and comfortably travel on airplanes. Through this, I’ve gained hands-on experience with structured training, consistency, and reading dog behavior. I treat every dog like part of the family. My own dog gets multiple walks a day, regular playtime, and a lot of affection. I bring that same level of care to every dog I watch. I’m especially attentive to a dog’s energy levels, routines, and personality, making sure they get the right balance of exercise, structure, and affection. What sets me apart is a combination of experience, attention to detail, and genuine care. I’m comfortable with active dogs who need exercise and engagement, as well as reinforcing good habits and basic training. My goal is always to make your dog feel at home and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home full-time, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day and available to meet your dog’s needs whether that’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just companionship. During work hours, I structure my day so dogs are never left unattended for long. If I’m in meetings, I have comfortable dog beds in my office so pups can relax nearby and still feel included and at ease. Outside of that, I build in time for walks, outdoor play, and engagement throughout the day. I provide a safe, structured, and flexible environment tailored to each dog’s needs. At my home, I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, along with access to nearby parks for longer walks and exercise. I can also use long leads when appropriate to give dogs more freedom while still maintaining control and safety while playing at the park. I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality and comfort level. My own dog is an active doodle who requires a lot of exercise and stimulation, so I’m already in a routine of providing consistent activity, enrichment, and supervision. Visiting dogs can join in on walks and play if they enjoy social interaction, or I can provide more one-on-one attention if that’s what they’re used to. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of stress to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. Cleanliness, supervision, and clear communication with owners are always top priorities so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands.

About: Whether your dog needs a midday walk or your pets need a check-in while you're away, I'm here to provide dependable, compassionate care and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality, energy level, and individual needs. During walks, my focus is on your dog's safety, exercise, and enjoyment, whether that's a leisurely stroll, an energetic walk, or time to sniff and explore. For drop-in visits, I'm happy to provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of affection. I'll also send updates and photos after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets. Currently working from home so I am able make time for walks and drops in near by throughout the day. From 20 minute to hour visits. I keep a constant eye on our surroundings while on outings. For walks and drop in care visits I give your pets the same love and safety actions as I do my own dog.
