Dog Walking West Bloomfield

About: 🐶🐱 Every time I see a dog or cat, I can't resist wanting to pet them & they always make my heart melt! I have been caring for my own cat for 11 years and have nearly 4 years of pet-sitting experience with dogs, cats, and fish before joining Rover. I enjoy feeding pets, taking dogs for walks, playing with their favorite toys, administering medication when needed, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I've also had the pleasure of staying overnight in pet parents' homes to ensure their pets remain comfortable, safe, and well cared for while they're away. In addition to pet sitting, I am a licensed Real Estate Salesperson in New York. My flexible schedule allows me to continue providing dependable and attentive care for pets, which is something I truly enjoy. Just a heads-up: I am deaf, but communication is easy through text messages, the Rover app, email, or live transcription apps. I am committed to making communication smooth and stress-free for both you and your pet. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away. If you have any questions, special requests, or care instructions, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I'm currently working part-time and flexibly. I can do house-sitting or drop-in visits to take care of your pets. 😊 ***(Drop-in visits depend on the distance & location).*** I always follow the owner's instructions and routines to ensure the pet feels comfortable and safe. I take them out multiple times a day for playtime and spend quality time with them to make sure they’re happy and well cared for.

“Destiny was very responsive and loving with our new pup and easy to work with. She was available on short notice and I really appreciated her gentle approach.”

“As usual, Elizabeth was absolute magic with my two dogs. She has incredible empathy, and the dogs adore her. She also goes above and beyond to keep my house in immaculate condition. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

About: I have always had dogs since I was about 3 years old. No matter the size or breed, I love caring for 4-legged friends! I currently have 3 dogs, Phoebe, an adult pit mix, Petunia, a young shepherd mix, and Phillip, a Great Pyr/Great Dane mix…all adopted from Austin Pets Alive!. I have specific experience volunteering (walking dogs, cleaning, etc.) at a humane society where the majority of adoptable dogs were larger and of the American Staffordshire Terrier breed. I have also regularly watched my friends' dogs when they have gone on vacations. I believe positive reinforcement goes a long way, particularly with food motivated pooches. I’m available most days and times without issue! I do request as much advance notice as you can provide but am open to same day bookings when my schedule allows. I have a fully fenced yard to provide a secure space if they are coming to my home. I am very comfortable taking them on neighborhood walks if they are comfortable. I only use non-retractable leashes and positive reinforcement (treats and affirmations) to engage with your dog. I’ve taken dog CPR training as well.

“Brittani is a professional and amazing person. Mackenzie enjoys her walk and i appreciate being able to rely on her. Shes terrific.”

About: I've had several dogs in my life, smaller and larger dogs. I had a cocker spaniel mix when I was a kid, a collie when my kids were young, and most recently a German shepherd. Each had their own personality and I have special memories of each one of them. I have taken care of older dogs and younger dogs. I can handle the energy of younger dogs and the needs of older ones. We have always seen our pets as members of the family and I hope you will allow me to see your dog in the same way. I have friends that I have stayed at their house for a couple of weeks to spend time with their dog while they were on vacation. We went for walks twice a day and had a lot of time playing together. I work remotely in my job so I am happy to work from wherever is needed to take care of your pet. My schedule is flexible and I will work hard to accommodate the schedule of you pet. If you just need someone to come to walk your dog or just spend time with your cat, I have the flexibility in my day to do that. My first goal is to make your dog or cat comfortable with my visit. If I'm staying in your home, I will follow the routine you have set to do just that.

“Kim is fantastic! She is reliable and very pleasant! She is very good to our boy and he absolutely adores her. I highly recommend Kim's services.”

“Joey was fantastic with my dog! He made sure that she was well-fed, walked, and had plenty of fun every time he visited her. He constantly kept me up to date with report cards and pictures. I would happily ask Joey to watch my dog again the next time I am out of town!”

About: When I was in middle school, my science teacher went to the Philippines for the whole summer. I took care of her mices, dogs, guinea pigs and more. Growing up in Iowa, I have been around many animals including dogs. Also I have had friends who traveled to Europe and they had to leave their poodles, black labs and many more and trusted their dogs in my care at their home for a month or two weeks if needed when I lived in Washington state before moving to Honeoye Falls. When I dog sat, I made sure I gave medicine as instructed to the dogs as needed. I played with them, took them hiking, the beach, cuddled on the couch and learned about what they liked and don’t like and what makes them happy. I made sure that their owners were happy as well. When I was asked to come and dog sit again, the dogs would be waiting at the window waiting for my arrival. These dogs were sure happy to see me when I came back to dog sit them! I have plenty of time to play with your pups 🐶I would be available for boarding on the weekends and week days after 4pm. I would be happy to give lots of love and attention/play to your fur babies! I have a fenced yard and have two fur babies who love to socialize. I also love to spoil your dogs too! I work from home twice a week and can pet sit on the weekends as well! As for dog sitting in the client’s home I would treat your place with respect, love and care. Anything you need I will make sure that your pets receive it. I will also communicate and send pictures!

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for years. I am also a Licensed Practical Nurse (for humans)! I have cared for neighbors, friends, friends-of-friends’ pets and am very trustworthy and caring. For most days, I’ll be home all day. I am pet-sitting and occasional babysitting at the moment so I will be there for your pet! I feed, walk, play, cuddle and give lots of love to all the fur babies and will do whatever else is requested (light housekeeping, vet appointments, etc.)

“Stella is a happy pup after a walk and some loving from Stephanie. Stephanie was great, giving us a heads up on arrival time and Stella was excited to greet her.”

“Christine has been AMAZING with my two babies. They love her dearly and I truly feel they are safe with her. I knew Christine was a perfect fit when my baby Mia, who’s standoffish at first let Christine pet her and Mia loved it. I’m so happy having Christine as a someone who cares for my babies. Thank you Christine😊”

“Stephan has been great!! Wonderful communication on his schedule and status of our pet. We could tell right away that Stephan is an animal lover 😀”

About: I have had dogs my whole life.. I worked in a kennel and as a dog groomer, where I got to spend time with many different breeds of dogs. Friends have asked me to stay with, feed, walk and drop in on their pets. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of areas of time to play with your pets! I am available to dog walk and drop in during the week and Saturdays after 12. I would love to discuss if you need someone to house sit overnight! I will care for pets by following the routine that they are used to and treating them with love, kindness and respect. I want to create a calm environment for them and let them know they are safe with me. I will also treat the client’s home with respect.

About: I provide care for dogs in various formats such as sitting, walking, and boarding and more. If your dog likes to pick up the pace during a walk I am sure to match it, as I experienced this with a German Shepherd. Through experience, I assisted the Mini Dachshund on my profile in developing his skill of rolling over on command. I will value getting to know you and your dog. I know that with my experience with numerous dog breeds, I am a good fit for the services I offer. I will take care of and love your dog as if they are mine. I have flexibility with my schedule and am able to drive to your dogs appointments if as needed. If your dog has closer interval schedules or attention needs for health, I have the availability. I will care for your pets according to the discussed schedule and will follow that throughout the booking and or if the client wants to provide a sheet for the information.

About: I have experience dog sitting for various breeds and sizes, providing attentive care and companionship. My responsibilities included daily walks, feeding, administering medication, and keeping a safe environment. My goal is to create a comfortable and happy atmosphere for each dog while giving their owners peace of mind while they’re away. I am a graduate student studying for my masters degree. With only classes to work around I will work to take care of your pets around my schedule. I make sure to take into account an owners wants and needs. Whether it is my own home or a clients I will ensure that your pet is well cared for and taken care of.

About: Hello! My name is Jahlea and I have always had animals in my house, those with and without fur, including fish, axolotls, hamsters, guinea pigs, a medium-sized terrier mix rescue dog and 2 large labradors. I have cared for and have loved my pets with all of my heart and I plan to do the same for your big and little ones as well. I have over 12 years of experience caring for various animals including bunnies, bearded dragons, dogs, cats, and fish. My specialty is caring for dogs and cats including those that are needing medicine (by injection or pill), are seniors, or have special needs. I am also a frequent petsitter for foster dogs so I have lots of experience with dogs that have emotional and behavioral issues and the patience and care it takes while they learn what it means to be loved again. I look forward to setting up a meet and greet with you and your furry friends! I will make sure that your pets feel comfortable and safe just as you would and I cant wait to give them lots of love!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. We have always had at least one dog in the house if not more. In the past 6 years I have helped my parents to puppy train twice. I love dogs unconditionally, but I am not afraid to show a little tough love when needed. I’m currently going back to school and attend a lot of local sporting events but I still make it a priority to take my dog for a walk daily. Whether we fit in a walk before I leave in the morning or in-between class and a game, I know how much she loves her walks. I also make sure to give her ample play time when I am home. I make sure that whether the pet is in a fenced in yard or not I am always keeping an eye on them when outside. I always respect the clients wishes regarding their animal being on furniture, in what rooms, and such on.
