Dog Walking Westland

About: I have always had a pet, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rats. I love animals and realize the difficulty in leaving your animal babies with someone you trust while you are gone. I take that responsibility very seriously. I recently retired and would like to include in my day, caring for animals whose owners need help when they are gone from the home. I have a fenced yard, and an easy going home environment. I also have two older dogs, 4 indoor kitties, with a total of six cats. They are all pretty laid back.

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets with different personalities, ages, and needs! At home, I have a Beagle, a Great Dane, a puppy, and cats, so I'm very familiar with everything from energetic puppies and large breeds to older pets who prefer a slower pace. I also have experience caring for special-needs animals, including my own visually impaired cat who has had an eye removed. I understand how important patience, consistency, and individualized attention are when helping animals feel safe and comfortable. I'm also a registered nurse, so being attentive, dependable, and recognizing when something isn't quite right comes naturally to me. I treat animals like family and want every pet in my care to feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away! I work full-time as a school nurse with a regular Monday through Friday schedule, so I'm primarily available during evenings and weekends! One of the perks of working in a school is that I have increased availability during school holidays, breaks, and summer vacation! I keep my Rover calendar updated to reflect my availability and appreciate advance notice whenever possible. I understand that plans can change, though, so don't hesitate to reach out! I may also be available for later evening visits (after 8 PM), even if they aren't listed on my calendar. I love spending time with animals and am happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet's needs! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities! I believe in following each pet's established routine, including feeding schedules, medications, training methods, and household rules. I'm comfortable working with a variety of personalities, behaviors, dietary needs, and medical considerations. I have experience administering medications, including oral medications, eye ointments, ear drops, and subcutaneous injections. As a registered nurse and the owner of pets with special needs, I understand the importance of being attentive, patient, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. Communication is incredibly important to me! The more you can tell me about your pet's preferences, triggers, routines, and unique quirks, the better I can provide a safe and comfortable experience. I'll treat your home with respect and your pets like family!

About: I have been a regular pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers since I was a teenager. I have experience with large or small dogs, elderly dogs, cats, and pets that need medication or other accommodations. I have experience with dog-sitting for up to two weeks at a time. This has sometimes included, but is not limited to, administering medication, cleaning up messes inside and outside, walking, feeding, and bathing. Ensuring the safety, health, and happiness of each pet I take care of is my top priority and it is one of my favorite things to do in the world! I work full-time Monday-Friday, so I am only available for pet sitting beginning after 6pm Friday-Sunday. If there is a need for a drop in visit or walk after 6pm during the week, please reach out to me and I may be able to do that. I am unable to have pets at my house because I live with a family member’s dog that does not do well with other animals. Please give me any and all instructions! I will make sure to follow any routine that I can for your pet to be comfortable. I will provide as many updates/photos as requested.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have experience with small dogs and big dogs. I have gone through puppy kindergarten classes with my dog as well. I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, Guinea pigs, birds and bearded dragons. Pet care fits into my routine as I am pretty flexible on weekends, so that I can let them out frequently. I work as an instructional assistant for an elementary school. I can care for animals before and after work as well as my lunch breaks. I follow the school schedule and get holidays and breaks off as well. I prefer staying in the clients home so that the pets can stay in their comfort zone and as close to their normal routine. With that said, I am also very flexible. I can stay in the home, offer drop in visits or care for them in my home. Whatever the client prefers.

“Steph was wonderful. Definitely would hire her again!”

About: Hi! My name is Susannah, and I'm a 24-year-old animal lover living in Indianapolis with my husky and orange cat. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all sizes and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets every day, I regularly help care for my family's three large dogs and two cats, so I'm comfortable with both dogs and cats, including larger breeds. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and cat care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring outside, or simply relaxing with company, I'll tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide reliable, attentive care. I'm happy to accommodate your pet's routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medication (if needed and instructed), and lots of attention and affection. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. I'll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, fresh water, meals on schedule, bathroom breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I strive to create a calm, positive environment so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you're away.

“Jill is absolutely amazing. I’ve used her twice now, once for a week long trip and today for a walk after I had to work late. Both times she’s been communicative, friendly and professional. I’ve never had to worry about my dogs well-being when they’re with her and she truly cares about what’s best for you and your dogs. 10/10, I can’t recommend her enough.”

“Bee was great with Evey! They were communicative and showed up in the agreed time frame. Evey was happy to have some long afternoon walks and came home both times worn out which I appreciate!!”

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a kid, and animals have always had a special place in my heart. I have a gift for connecting with pets I'm meeting for the first time — even the shy or standoffish ones tend to warm up to me quickly. I raised my own dog for 13 years, guiding him through anxiety issues from puppyhood all the way into adulthood, so I understand firsthand how much patience and consistency can matter. I know how important feeding schedules and medication routines are, and I make sure they're followed carefully and on time, every time. Through pet sitting apps, I've cared for a wide variety of dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs — nothing has been too much to handle. I lead with patience, adaptability, and a genuine love for animals. A quick note on availability: between my work schedule and time with my daughter, I'm away from home between 9am and 6pm daily. I'm a great fit for pets who are comfortable being on their own during that window, and I'll make sure they're well cared for and comfortable before and after. I'm also proud to be LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome clients from all walks of life. Building trust is everything to me — I want you to feel confident that your pet (and your home, if I'm house sitting) is in caring, capable hands. I am generally open to anything my time slots provide. Overnights should not be an issue but will need to be talked about prior to booking. I do NOT have have a place to house dogs so currently I am only a house sitter. Please let me know if you have any questions! I used to care for 2 dogs and a cat while i was with my wife but now i just have the cat. The cat is very much self sufficient, although she does revel in all the pets that we have to offer, but the dogs take more work! I love to take dogs on walks in the various parks around where i am living and will do the same for yours! If you have favorite spot let me know about it!! I can incorporate a walk there for your pups if you would like!

About: I have been around and grown up with pets for my 28 years of life. I have experience with puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, also fish, farm animals. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was a teenager. I enjoy making sure your fur babies are happy, safe, and stress free while your traveling or away! I am currently working a full time job but I only work 14 days a month. I am able to be away from home for extended periods of time due to not having children or many home responsibilities that my spouse cant handle! I always will provide timely potty breaks. I am able to clean up any messes made in the home to the best of my ability, I will be sure to stick to any schedules given to the best of my ability and if im not able to offer them I will inform the client so they can choose how to proceed! I treat others home like my own and ensure the best outcome possible!

About: I grew up around untrained dogs, not afraid of any animal. I had two cats of my own and raised them from kittens so I’m great with cats!! I am nice and patient and have never been one for caging in animals unless it’s to travel to appointments, so your little loved ones will always be free to wander with me. I like to give them freedom to explore. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. I like to play a lot and encourage activities. I try to put on interactive games and toys are highly encouraged to bring! I do freelance work so if I’m pet sitting your baby will be the number one priority! Open space apartment, I like to be outside a lot so I will spend a majority of time allowing your pet to be free and safe if they’re an outside animal. We have local shops within a mile that allow cats so if you’re open, I can allow your pet to go for outdoor time.
