Dog Walkers in Whitmore Lake, MI

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have always watched my friends’ dogs or stopped over for visits/walks. I love spending time with furry friends and am happy to help you in any way!! I am currently a full time RN, but only work 3 days a week so I have a lot of free time to help you with your pet! I have a 1.5 year old male, goldendoodle who I cherish time with very much. I hope to make your pet as comfortable as possible with all your favorite recommendations and tips!!

“Ashley has been watching my dog Zoey for the last 2 years, and we recently got another puppy this last year, and they both love Ashley! Buddy is a pretty skittish pup but took very quickly to Ashley. She takes excellent care of my dogs and has paid attention to all the directions I have for my dogs while in and out of the house. Ashley is a great option when it comes to pet care. Animals just seem to love her instantly!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. It’s important to establish trust for a well working pet relationship and to not deviate too much from their routine. I will adapt to your style of dog/cat parenting and go above and beyond to ensure the happiness of the pooch or kitty. I have trained all my fur babies as puppies and enjoy each stage of their lives. Your pet will always be safe and treated as my own. I am available Monday -Friday 9am to 2:30pm. Weekends can be scheduled in advanced. I am around most holidays during the school year. Summertime schedule may vary but will advise in advance of any changes. Best way to care for your pet will be for you to tell me exactly what you expect from my services. Communication is key. For example, my dog is crate trained and I used to be a stickler with my children to not take her out of her crate because it is her “safe place.” My dog is extremely well trained with no potty accidents however she does have submissive peeing since pup so I know how to maneuvering around this initial excitement. I use her crate (with the door always open) as her “apartment”. What most people view as a negative can be turned into a positive bc dogs also need a place to decompress from children and overstimulation. I will follow your rules and the need of your pet. Photos and check ins are a given! If I were to leave my pet with someone I would want the same!

“Vini has grown up and taken care of a handle full of dogs while growing up and knows what it takes to keep them happy and having fun! He’s kind and patient with every dog and he will be the same way toward yours!”

About: I've been dog sitting for years and also have a large Lab/Dane mix and would treat your family member like my own. I will make sure that your dog is properly cared for while in my care. I work full time with Thursday and Fridays off, I am available on other days after 4pm. I also would be available for drop ins before or after work when I can. I would care for your pet as if they were my own. I love dogs and I will make sure that whether I'm walking your dog or doing a drop in, that I will make it an enjoyable experience for you and your dog.

“I’m so happy that our family found Kat! She is kind, patient, professional, responsible, and takes good care of our senior Frenchie while we are at work. Kat always leaves a detailed note after each visit and includes lots of pictures for us to enjoy! I know that Rosie is in good hands with Kat!”

About: We've both had dogs all our lives and since we don’t currently have them at the moment we LOVE spending time with them! I have watched multiple family and friends pets when they go on vacation and really enjoy having the company of animals for a few days! I have somewhat of a hybrid schedule depending on the week, and Nick works remote daily so depending on what your pet is use to we can work around it. We know some people got their pets during Covid, and are use to someone being at home while others are use to both owners going to work. So based on the situation we can figure out what’s best! If we were to leave it would be less than 4 hours while watching your pets! Based on the schedule you provide we will try our best to follow it as closely as possible! We do our best to follow your pets normal routine! It's all what is best for you and your fur baby! Just let us know. We realize everyone has a different schedule and will do our best to accommodate!

About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking for nearly 10 years. My mother frequently dog sat in our home when I was a child, and I began pet sitting outside of the home in high school. I have worked with many breeds and needs of both cats and dogs. I also have experience in wildlife foster care. I am a dance instructor and traveling competition judge, but in my free-time I love spending time with pups! Dog walks in the morning/early afternoon on weekdays are where I have the most availability, but overnight pet care can be fit into my schedule on occasion as well! I want to keep your pups on their usual routine as much as possible. Taking detailed notes on their day-to-day life can help me to follow their habits and keep your time away as easy on your pets as possible!

“I cannot recommend Melissa highly enough for any pet-sitting needs! When my dog, Joy, developed a minor medical issue, Melissa's care was nothing short of exemplary. She went above and beyond in ensuring that Joy received the attention and treatment she needed, handling the situation with both professionalism and a warm personal touch. It was clear from her actions that she treated Joy as if she were her own, which provided immense peace of mind. Her dedication and affection towards animals is truly remarkable. When Joy sees Melissa, she runs up to her so happy to see her again! Without a doubt, Melissa will be my first call for any future pet-sitting needs. Thank you, Melissa, for your exceptional service!”

“Amy is a very dependable and kind animal lover. When I'm at work, she takes over as the caregiver for Daisy She adores all dogs and cats. She loves to cuddle, pet and play with them. I highly recommend Amy as a caregiver for your pet.”

“Lindsay is a kind and loving person. She loves animals and is the type of person that has stopped when she sees an injured animal in the road and finds the right rescue center to care for it. She has her own dog which brings her great joy, but also goes to the shelter to visit and care for animals up for adoption. Lindsay would take care of others pets as if they were her own! Elaine Yusko”

“Susannah's love and care for pets is unsurpassed. She treats the animals under her care, as if they were her own. I highly recommend you consider Susannah as her combination of passion for pets, and highly affordable pricing are the best!”

“If there is one friend I call to watch my pup, it is ALWAYS Danielle. She has truly been the most reliable person that I have entrusted to watch my child (because that is what my puppy is to me: my child). I never feel bad asking for her to watch him over night or check on him during the day if I get caught up at work because I know she loves spending time with my pup as much as I do. Even when I was sick and too weak to take my pup on long walks she felt bad for him and came over and took him for a good long walk and stayed and played with him after so he could get his energy out. Danielle would be an amazing asset to Rover because I know how much she cares for dogs and how responsible she has been whenever I asked her to take care of my baby. I never have to worry about my pup when she is with him because she always arrives earlier than I ask her to check on him and stays longer than I ask to her watch him (not to mention all the photo and video updates she sends me when they are together). Danielle always goes out of her way to ensure my baby is well loved and cared for and truly treats them like family, and I couldn't ask for anything more in a dog sitter.”

About: Allow me to take care of your four legged friend. Your dog will enjoy running and lounging in the open areas. After plenty of fresh air and outdoor exercise he will enjoy a sleepy snooze on one of the many cozy spots that he will find in a quiet home. Take the stress away from leaving your loving pet and let me take care of him while you are away.I like to do a " meet and greet" to see how the dog gets along with me and my own dogs. I do not have a breed preference. Of course I would like to know if the dog has any health concerns or behaviors I should know about, the dog's. My daily routine is wake up let animals outside. Then feed. Then I take care of myself. Relax, go for a long walk with them or run. I am free most days and weeks. I have 30 acres of fence in yard. I have a horse pasture I made it where the dogs can't get out they also have a indoor area where they can relax in shade. And water 24/7.

“Thank you Kelly! I will be using her again, I admit at first I was a little weary of this site but she is a breath of fresh air. I Highly recommend her. Diamond was very well taken care of. Thanks again.”

“Kim made me feel so much better about having to leave our dogs behind on our family vacation. I knew they were in great hands and getting lots of attention!”

“Camille is an exceptional caregiver for my beloved dog, Mila. From the moment they first met, it was clear that Camille had a special connection with Mila. Her genuine love and affection for dogs shine through in every interaction. Camille goes above and beyond to ensure Mila's well-being and happiness. She is incredibly attentive to Mila's needs, always making sure she has fresh water, nutritious meals, and plenty of exercise. Mila adores their daily walks together, and I can see the joy in her eyes when Camille arrives.”
