Dog Walking Whittaker

“Marla is amazing! Very dependable dog sitter and went above and beyond for my dog every day. My dog felt super comfortable around her and came out of her shell. Highly recommend Marla for your pet sitting needs!”

About: I have been around animals my whole life! I grew up helping my parents take care of our dogs and cat, and currently have rescued two of my own. I also volunteer at the animal shelter every week :) My current availability is Monday and Tuesday 8 pm-10 pm, Wednesday 8 am-12 pm and 8 pm-10 pm, Thursday all day and Sunday after 5 pm. My Friday and Saturday schedule switches each week due to work, but I am most likely available. My schedule is pretty flexible so if these times don’t work just shoot me a message and I’m sure we could figure something out! I am very flexible and open to doing whatever is needed to keep your pet safe and happy while you are away! I would love to hear from you about how to best take care of your baby :)

“We were very happy with Greyson, who walked our dog while we were away. She was on time every day and spent the time walking and playing with our dog. Very trustworthy. Our dog really enjoyed spending time with Greyson. We will definitely Greyson again!”

“We have 100% confidence in the care Larissa takes with our dogs. She treats them like the individuals they are, and they quickly fell in love with her. She's sensitive to our more reactive dog's needs, and it's obvious that she is solely focused on the dogs during their walks. The reports after every walk are a great touch.”

Alex M.

“She took good care of my boys and made me feel very comfortable with her level of communication.”

Shannon F.

“Michael was great to communicate with and took care of our pup on last minute notice. We would love to work with him again!”

Joan L.

“Jaime was amazing with my dogs. He made sure he took time to understand their needs and what my expectations were. He was great with communication and punctuality. My dogs are a little unruly, but Jamie handled them like a rockstar. Would recommend Jaime for pet sitting or dog walking - can tell he really cares about the well-being of the pet.”

“Rani is a sweet gal with a willing spirit. She was patient with my dog and successful with the walk (my dog was putting her head down and not wanting to go forward) It was the perfect midday break. Sweet Pea got a walk, human company and potty relief. I’m so glad we found Rani to help. I recommend her wholeheartedly”

Carol S.

“Lauren has been wonderful with Ike. She is very responsive, communicates clearly, and is always patient with him. Since Ike is a shy boy, I really appreciate the time and effort she puts into helping him feel comfortable. With each visit, Ike has become more relaxed and confident around her, which speaks volumes about her caring and gentle approach. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, horses, and all sorts of pets for most of my life. From Great Danes to Shih Tzus I love all the puppies! I have a miniature bernedoodle and a Shih Tzu currently that I raised from puppies and they are very well behaved. I have watched an older dog who needed liquid IVs and pills and everything went well with him. I currently have three dogs at home. I work part time and can schedule work every week based around what I am doing, so I am pretty much always available as long as it’s about a week in advance. I can be at home as much as needed! I have three friendly dogs (two don’t like to play much but one loves to play) at home and no cats in the house. We do potty breaks every couple of hours which consists of just letting the dogs out in the yard which is not fenced in. Whenever I watch dogs at the house, I am always certain to take the dogs out on leash. If the puppers aren’t the best on leash that’s alright as well, I just use a harness or whatever the owners provide.

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m a lifelong animal lover and the proud dog mom of Bella Rose, my rescued miniature dachshund. Caring for Bella has taught me how important patience, consistency, and gentle attention are, especially with shy or nervous dogs. I treat every pet like I would want someone to treat Bella. I’m attentive to routines, feeding instructions, medications, comfort levels, and all the little details that help animals feel safe. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddling, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll adjust to what makes them happiest. I’m also an English student and writer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet genuine, one-on-one attention. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m an online English student and writer, so my schedule is flexible and I spend most of my time at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I already plan my days around caring for my own dog, Bella, so making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved is a normal part of my everyday life. I follow each pet’s normal routine and all instructions provided by their owner, including feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I keep pets supervised, double-check doors and leashes, and never leave them outside unattended. In my home, I introduce pets to Bella slowly and carefully, and I can give them separate spaces when needed. I keep my apartment calm, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of attention and rest time. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I currently have a small dog with diabetes and need to give her insulin every 12 hours. Both of our babies have a health care plan with our veterinarian and all vaccinations are up to date. They both love taking walks in the park and riding in the car. My other dogs previous to these were 15 years old plus. I love dogs and dogs seem to love me too. I have a fenced in back yard and a large house. Our babies normally have run of the entire house. I would love to work in the Humane Society although, I would want to take them all home with me. It also saddens me to see commercials with the neglected animals and the conditions that they are subjected to. I wish that I could save all of the dogs that are neglected. I have taken care of dogs since I was thirteen years old. I have also taken care of friends dogs when they are gone on vacation. I will be retired and will have time to spend with the dogs that I will be caring for.

“Allison has been great walking Katy daily and keeping me updated via the Rover app. She is very responsible, friendly and prompt.”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a kid, but I had my first dog 19 years ago. I am very comfortable scooping poo, litterboxes, cleaning up vomit, and checking for abnormal bowel movements and eating habits that may be from stress while you're gone. I'm great at reading a dog and cat's body language, so I am patient about letting them control the speed at which we get to know each other. I love going for walks, and am used to handling dogs on leash that may get reactive to people, dogs, cars, etc. I've worked with horses in the past, so I can handle a large animal getting excited. Most importantly, I want your dog or cat to have fun! let's play! I work freelance from home, so my days are very flexible. I can do mornings, midday, and evenings very easily. Mon-Sun, and most holidays I am in the Ann Arbor area I will ask where your pets favorite safe spaces are in their home, where they like to hide, where they're favorite treats and toys are. If your dog just needs to romp in their backyard, I'll follow whatever your home procedure is if they need to be cleaned up after or not. I'll also keep an eye out for indicators of stress: vomit, accidents inside the home or outside the litterbox, scratches or bites on furniture, destroyed toys, etc.

“This was our first time working with Lauren and Cris. They communicated extremely well, came on time, and followed our instructions for our dogs perfectly. We would recommend them and will definitely reach out in the future when we need help with our dogs!”

“Vinny was great with my dogs and my pets all seemed to like him, including my cats. He knew a lot about dogs and was able to walk and care for my two very well.”

Blanca & Cal V.

“Louisha is a very nice person. She came over the day before our trip to Cedar Point and met Lucy, our dog, and myself. She asked great questions about her routines and specific needs. I was nervous using this app and who I would find but she had great reviews and she has them for a reason. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets. Lucy loved her too! We will certainly use her services again.”

About: We provide boarding for your cat or dog in a family-based environment. We try to keep a structured and caring home environment for pets while their owners are away. Our goal is to keep the experience for you and your pet as safe and stress free as possible. Additionally, I have First Aid and CPR Certification for cats and dogs. I am also Fear Free Certified. Being Fear Free Certified means I was trained to look at subtle signs of stress in dogs and cats before they escalate. As well as techniques to make interactions with dogs and cats less stressful. My husband works from home, and I'm also at home with my children. During the school year I do drop off and pick up for the kids. My husband is home at this time. Therefore, dogs are generally always supervised, although there may be brief periods of time we are all out of the home. We have an area designated for the dogs in our home. This helps reduce the risk of escaping and helps keep them more safe. We also have a fenced in backyard. However, we always supervise interactions in the backyard between dogs or when the dogs are alone.

“Ash is simply great. Flexible on days when we have last minute schedule changes. Consistent day-in and day-out; rain, snow, or shine. Would very highly recommend if you are looking for a walker!”
