Dog Walking Wayne

About: I have 10 years of experience as a veterinary assistant and working in a shelter. My home is run by 4 cats! I am very knowledgeable in dog behavior, as well as in the care of both young and old fur friends. I have extensive experience walking dogs of all sizes, so no worries there! I am very flexible, and available at almost any time. I understand you want someone you trust, and is consistent, to be your go-to for looking after your family member. You know your family best. It is my job to make you feel secure with trusting me with such an important task, and to follow all instructions given. As well as to inform you if anything needs to be adjusted, and providing clear communication with you when/if any issues arise.

“Lauren was very quick to respond and able to work around our schedule to meet! She gave an awesome report so we knew Webster was well cared for while we were gone! Will definitely book Lauren again in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs for friends throughout the years. I have experience doing drop in visits, walking dogs, feeding/watering as well as administering medication, letting dogs in and out to use the bathroom, and cleaning litter boxes! I’m currently working part-time, so I have a lot of available free time to take care of your pet(s)! I love playing with and interacting with animals, and would be happy to take the extra time and give the extra attention to keep your baby safe and happy while you’re out! I will take every precaution to keep your pet happy, safe, and healthy. With my cat in the past I would always be the one having to give “difficult” or complex instructions for his care, so I understand firsthand the work it takes to care for a pet and follow the more intricate instructions.

“Rhonda is amazing! She is always timely, respectful and gives wonderfully detailed reports on how their walk / visit went. I would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I am a stay at home mother that loves dogs. I have an 9 year old daughter who loves dogs as well. I am are offering up my home in Westland to hang out and care for furry friends. I have a large yard and no other pets. I would love to host your dog/dogs at my house anytime. I can give them lots of love and attention. My daughter and I enjoy walking the dogs. We love playing in the yard with them. Previously I have owned a pug, and a lab. I have been a dog lover my whole life. If you are interested in considering me to watch your pups please feel free to reach out to me. Have a wonderful day!

About: With 20 years of pet care experience, I offer your furry friends a loving, stress-free home away from home. My spacious indoor and 1/2 acre yard provide ample room for play and relaxation, perfect for dogs of all sizes. As a no children household your animals get my undivided attention and personalized care, ensuring tail-wagging happiness every visit! Currently retired, tons of free time. Wide open schedule and extremely flexible! Any week days and weekends and availability for overnights for your long trips away I have a 1/2 acre completely fenced yard and large spacious home with pet friendly furniture and a relaxing environment with no kids inside the home and no animals of my own.

About: My very first job was starting a dog walking business with my sister and best friend when I was 13! I would walk up to two dogs at a time, feed them their meals, spend time with them while their owners were away, and play with them! I now have two of my own dogs that I adore and love spending time with. Throughout the years, my love for dogs and animals has only grown! I have been completing Rover services since May of 2026, and have fallen in love with it as a full-time job! I am available Monday through Friday, and the times are very flexible, as well as weekends as needed. I am looking to see more dogs weekly, so reach out to see if the times works! At my house, we have a fenced in yard, so my dogs roam freely. While on walks, they use a harness and a leash. I am comfortable with putting on all harnesses and prefer to walk a dog with a leash, but if the dog is trained well enough to not need one, I am comfortable with that as well.

“Finding someone I trust to walk/hang out with my dog every day was a huge deal, and Kodi has been amazing. My dog absolutely loves their walks, and I always come home to a happy and relaxed pup. Kodi is super reliable, always on time, and very flexible with changing schedules. It's such a relief knowing my dog is in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Jackie is GREAT! She is punctual and very sweet with my pups. She took the time to learn their personalities which is helping them feel safe and comfortable. I highly recommend Jackie for your pet care needs.”

“Unbelievable service. On time. Flexible. Reliable & Trustworthy. Cleans my dogs paws when they get dirty from walks. Sophia usually doesnt take to strangers. She loves Kristina and gets excited when Kristina visits as if they were besties. Most importantly Kristina loves her and treats my dog is if Sophia were her own. Strongly recommend”

About: Hi! My name is Lynne, and animals have been a big part of my life for over 30 years. I have extensive experience fostering both dogs and cats, including those who are fearful, shy, or even feral. This has given me the patience and understanding to work with pets of all temperaments and personalities. I currently share my home with two wonderful dogs and two cats, so I know what it takes to keep pets happy, healthy, and loved. Whether it’s going for walks, offering playtime, or just providing comfort and companionship, I truly enjoy being around animals and caring for them. I am also comfortable administering medications if needed, and I always treat pets as if they were my own—with lots of love, attention, and respect. I retired from my career last year. I worked in healthcare finance for 26 years. I want to fill my time with something that I really love. My dogs are welcome on all the furniture and are with me all the time. I will care for your pets in the same manner.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life — I’ve had both dogs and cats in my home since birth, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. Currently, I share my home with a Standard Poodle, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and two dog-friendly cats who are all well-socialized and used to visiting pets. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I’m always happy to arrange a video call or an in-person meet and greet beforehand — whatever helps give you peace of mind. Why pet parents choose me: • Your dog will enjoy a comfortable, home-like environment with plenty of love and attention — not long hours outside unsupervised or crated unnecessarily. • I only board for one family at a time, which allows me to give your pet individualized care and attention while also limiting exposure to unfamiliar animals. • I work full-time from home, so your pet will rarely, if ever, be left alone. • As a Rover customer myself, I know how reassuring regular communication can be. I’m happy to send frequent photo updates and check-ins while you’re away. • I pride myself on being dependable, reliable, and attentive. Whether it’s boarding, walks, or drop-ins, you can count on me to be punctual and fully committed to your pet’s care. • I do not require crating for dogs who are not normally crated at home. I want your pet to feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible during their stay. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and completely at home while they’re with me — and for you to feel confident knowing they’re being cared for like family. I work full-time from home Monday - Friday, but I am able walk and care for pets on my breaks and lunch hour. My work schedule is extremely flexible. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether that means belly rubs, head scratches, cuddles, treats, playtime, or simply quiet companionship, I’ll tailor my care to your pet’s individual personality and needs. And if your pet prefers their space or is more independent, I’ll always respect their boundaries and comfort level. For drop-in visits, I’m open to watering plants, taking out trash, bringing in mail etc. in addition to caring for your pet(s). Just let me know what you need done!

“Molly has stopped in a few times over the past few weeks to walk my dogs and both get super excited when she arrives.”

About: I have grown up with dogs, and have years of experience volunteering at humane societies. I have handled dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, and I love them all! I am currently going back to school and have availability on most days, although it does vary by semester. Animals are a huge part of my life and I cherish the time I get to spend with them and strive to provide them with the best possible care. It can be stressful when their owners are gone, so making their experience special and something to look forward to is important to me. Pet safety always comes first. I make sure animals are secure in their leash, do not escape, are kept at a distance from other animals (unless socialization is requested), and do not ingest anything dangerous. I am careful about keeping germs from spreading between pets and will always wash or sanitize my hands before touching your pet, will sanitize any toys I bring, and only use clean towels if they are necessary. Cat and dog body language is a special interest of mine, and I make an effort to interpret the signals of your animal and adjust my behavior to make them more comfortable if necessary. I believe in being gentle, kind, and encouraging with my tone of voice and actions. Pets pay a lot of attention to people, and can be sensitive to their reactions. For dogs: -I will follow your instructions for any walks/feeding/playtime -Unless instructed otherwise, I like to let dogs make a lot of the decisions about where we go on a walk and have lots of opportunities to stop and sniff. Smells are so important to dogs and are a major way their brain stays active and enriched. -I can handle strong pullers and fast walkers. -I am happy to reinforce any training goals or commands that you are working on with your dog if you would like. -I supply my own poop bags. -I have a couple of kong balls that I will bring (sanitized between dogs) if you are ok with your dog playing with them at our visits. I find for ball-motivated dogs, it can be a useful distraction and also a fun way to make their visit more exciting with a novel toy. -If approved by the owner, I bring 100% chicken treats that I can use to make them more comfortable or reward good behavior. -I will keep you updated on the appearance of their stool to make sure you know if anything is out of the ordinary for them. -I monitor how much panting and heavy breathing a dog is showing in the heat, especially in short-faced dog breeds. -If we walk through mud or rain, I bring a towel to wipe paws and towel off before coming inside. -I am experienced with elderly dogs and am careful of their joints and hips when handling them or asking them for certain movements. -I have experience with reactive and resource-guarding dogs. I pay extra close attention to any body language and the dog's individual cues in these cases, and have protective gloves if they are necessary in an emergency. For cats: -Cats have a very special place in my heart. They are all so unique, which makes getting to know each individual so rewarding. -I approach each cat at their comfort level. Sometimes a cat needs to watch me in their environment for a bit until they feel ready to come close. Some cats can be enticed by play. Some are won over with brushing or petting. Some will not be comfortable to come out for anyone except their person, and that is fine! -If approved by you beforehand, I can bring some of the many toys my personal cats have no interest in (washed before hand) to give them some novel enrichment while you're away. -I can also offer them some 100% chicken treats if you give the ok beforehand. -I have experience giving oral medication, subcutaneous fluids, eye or ear drops, brushing reluctant cats, removing mats, nail trimming, and retrieving cats from hiding places if necessary. I recommend doing a meet and greet session before our first visit, but if you provide me with instructions, I am also comfortable with visiting an animal on short notice. I look forward to meeting your animals! I'm in school and my schedule will vary somewhat each semester, however I currently have lots of availability. Let me know what times you need! I am happy to follow any instructions provided. I will take dogs out for walks for as long as is requested. We will walk close to the dog's preferred pace. I do not allow the dog to interact with other people or pets unless otherwise indicated. I may give the pet a treat at the end if you approve ahead of time. I leave the home in the same condition as it was when I arrived, barring any other requested tasks. If I take your pet for a walk on a muddy day, I will clean them after with my own hypoallergenic pet wipes. If I notice anything amiss, such as a limp while walking or other possible health concern, I will notify you immediately.

“We’ve recently contacted Kacie for over night stays but also for walks. She is kind and very responsive. I’m excited for our pup Kiki to be in such good care. Thank you Kacie!”

About: I love all animals (especially a pit bull) I own a mello & a crazy, so it’s my specialty! I have two dogs, one that is 11 and the other is 3. I’m a real estate agent full time, and on my spare time what’s a better way to spend it then hanging out with other animals :). Before I got into real estate I was a full time vet tech. I have a fenced yard at home, I have a dog that is 11 in diapers. Your pet would be treated like it was my own.
