Dog Walkers in Solon, MI

About: I've taken care of animals all my life. I grew up with cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, you name it! Now, I'm lucky enough to have a cat and a dog of my own, and enjoy helping take care of others' animals as well! I'm currently working full-time from home, which makes it super easy to run out for drop-in visits and dog walks. I'm free most weekdays during the day, or in the evening around dinner time. I'm happy to plan around whatever your pets need! I will follow any and all directions when it comes to taking care of others' pets. I know every animal is different and has various comfort levels when it comes to meeting new people. I'm happy to do whatever is needed to make animals feel comfortable, so that we can get to playing/walking in no time!

“Christine is amazing and has been such a great help for me and my dog. I couldn’t have done it without her and am so thankful for all of her support. She treats my dog, Kade, wonderfully — he’s always happy and tired after his walks! I’m incredibly grateful for her care and will continue using her services. She has truly been such a blessing for us!”

“Kara was amazing when I needed a last minute dog walker. She came everyday on time and communicated when she picked Moose up and dropped him off. She even wrote notes about the walk! I could not have found a better/sweeter friend for Moose that week! Thank you Kara!”

About: Dogs are the best and my 3 at home always keep it interesting. I have been around every dog stage of life from new born puppy to Rainbow Bridge. I work from home M-F during the day but have a lot of flexibility during my days. Open most weekends as well. I am a planner by nature but can likely squeeze in last minute requests or needs. I prefer detailed directions from owners as all pets are so different! I would love to spend enough time with your pets to bond/connect and get to know their personalities.

“Grace has been great with my almost 6 month old puppy Scout! She makes sure he gets the playtime he needs in the middle of the day. Grace is very trustworthy and would recommend her for watching your furry animals!”

About: I have had the fortunate experience of taking care of dogs since I was 9. I have dog sat for neighbors and have dogs in my family. I have taken classes for dog food aggression and have taken care of puppies under the age of 8 weeks. I have experience with giving dogs medication and elderly dogs. I believe that I can be a great asset to your family, especially the ones with fur :) Pet care is every day for my normal life. I am very familiar with time management and have no issue fulfilling planned visits or stays. I keep a very clean and routine household for my animals. I believe it is important to follow the direction of the animal owner's routines and requests. This will only help the animal feel more comfortable with adversity and limit unnecessary stress levels.

About: I'm a kind, enthusiastic and sensitive animal lover who treats every pet as if they were my own. I genuinely love getting to know animals of all kinds, and have taken care of my own and others pets for over 20 years. I love all pets, but senior and special needs dogs have a unique place in my heart. I also have experience with chickens, ducks and goats! I know that leaving your pet in another person's care can be nerve-wracking, so I go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and informed while your pet is in my care. I am happy to arrange a pre-care meet and greet so you can get to know me before your trip, and I can provide frequent updates (with photos if you want them!) while you're gone. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so it is easy for me to schedule visits and provide customized care according to your pet's needs. I prefer to care for animals in their own homes where they are most comfortable. I ask plenty of questions beforehand to make sure that I understand each pet's routine, needs, preferences, and their favorite games, treats, toys and snuggle spots :)

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. Due to this and my friendly attitude towards furbabies, I have had neighbors, friends, and co-workers trust me to take care of their pups and kitties since I was 14! I love bonding with new furry friends of all ages. Snuggles, walks, and playing fetch are my specialties! I am currently an online college student, so I am flexible with my pet care hours! I am happy to adhere to any schedule your furbaby needs! Morning, afternoon, and evening, I am happy to make sure all of their needs are met. I try to keep pets on the most normal schedule possible in regards to their feeding, outside time, sleeping, and cuddles. I try to keep an eye on them at all times, so I can make sure to meet all their needs and keep them from missing their owners too much. I have always spent the night at all of the houses that I have pet sat at in the past.

About: I have a Bachelor’s degree in Zoology, and took a course in undergrad on the behavior and biology of dogs. During my time in college I fostered dogs of all ages, sizes, backgrounds, and behavior types as a volunteer for a local rescue for 4+ years. I am well versed in reading the body language of dogs, and reacting appropriately to keep everyone as safe as possible in any given situation! I currently have a senior mixed breed dog who I fostered and adopted. He used to struggle with leash reactivity, so I know how to best handle a dog with this sensitivity, and have a positive reinforcement take on all things dog. I worked in an emergency veterinary clinic for 2.5 years during undergrad as well, and am well versed in what to look for if your pup doesn’t seem quite right. I am available most hours of the day, any day of the week for your needs, and am very flexible in times and dates if need be. As I mentioned in my main biography, I am well versed and trained in matters of reading body language effectively and quickly, and handle situations proactively to ensure the highest safety possible. If a safety situation does arise, I am prompt and alert under pressure.

About: I have worked among various dog breeds and environments, including; house visits, check-ins, walks, as well as a frequent volunteer at the local humane society. I currently work in property management in TC! I am a native to the area and have always had a huge passion for animals and rescuing! I currently spend my time off with my dogs, at the shelter, or at my properties! I have a flexible job which allows me to stop in throughout the day! Currently, I have two dogs. We spend a lot of time hiking, playing outside, going on walks, and playing with our favorite bones. We love peanut butter treats and snuggling with mom. We love to meet new friends, so we will do an occasional trip to the park here and there!

About: I’ve always had a family dog, so caring for pets has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been a nursing assistant for almost three years and I’m currently in nursing school, which has taught me to be attentive, patient, and reliable. I’m very active and love long walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, attention, and love while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, so I can plan my days around walks, drop-ins, and spending quality time with pets. I’m also in nursing school, but I’m organized with my time and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to. This means your pet gets consistent attention, plenty of walks, and lots of love while you’re away When I care for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep everything as normal and comfortable for them as possible. I follow their usual routine, can give pills if needed, and make sure they get plenty of long walks along with regular potty breaks. I’m happy to do overnight stays and always spend real quality time with pets, not just quick visits. I send daily updates and photos, and I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love caring for them! I’ve had big dogs and small dogs and love them all. I miss my dogs from back home so caring for some while i’m in college seems like a good opportunity :) I’m a full time college student but will be available as much as possible! Between classes, afternoons, mornings, and weekends, I will make it work with the free time I have outside of class! My pets at home get a daily walk! Every afternoon we walk the nature preserve near my house. I will make sure your pet is cared for and gets plenty of time outside or playing.

“Madison was fantastic! My pupper loved her so much! The walk was perfect and she followed all the directions I left for her perfectly! Will definitely book again when needed!”

“Olivia has been great with my working line German Shepherd. He’s very high energy and can be a handful sometimes, but she handles him with patience and confidence. He loves his walks with her! Highly recommend :)”

About: Passionate animal lover with extensive dog experience. Former Equestrian, athlete, rescuer and dedicated caretaker. Energetic and nurturing, I’ll be your pup’s 2nd best friend! :) I'm currently working part time, as a house cleaner. At the moment, it's only about two times a week. So I'll be very available for your pup! I'm always free in the evenings for overnight stays. Additionally I try to be active everyday, so I would love to take your pups for walks and runs! I'm free in the mornings/afternoons for playtimes and fun as well. I will follow your house rules to a tea and treat your pups as if they were my own. I understand every dog is different in their own way. Whether in care or personality. :) But I will love them all the same! When walking or running with your pups I like to keep them where they feel familiar, and I will never exceed or go below the amount of exercise you tell me they need. Regarding overnight care, I am a very tidy and organized person that will never cross the boundaries you lay out.

“James took excellent care of our boys! They really loved their walks with him and he makes sure that everybody does their business and everyone is happy! He also made sure they had their water bowls topped off before he left. James is the best!”

About: I used to work at a vet clinic, so I am good with emergencies and handling special instructions. I am professional, organized, communicative and trustworthy. I work from home 99% of the time, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I’ll hang out with your pets as long as needed. What you say goes and you know what is best for your pet, so tell me what you need and I’ll happily make it happen.

“Bailey is very well organized, communicates well, is on time when scheduled and quite knowledgeable about caring for dogs. Our dog already loves having her come for play and walks. We recommend her highly.”
