Dog Walking Windsor Charter Township

About: As a retired mother with over 40 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a nurturing, dependable touch to every pet I meet. Friends and family have trusted me for decades to walk, feed, and love their pets as if they were my own. I have extensive experience with rescue and senior animals, understanding the patience and special care they often need. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my lifetime of dedication, calm demeanor, and deep compassion for animals of all ages and backgrounds. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I work part-time as a nanny for my nephew, but I still have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to care for your pets. Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine, and I’m available most weekdays and weekends for visits, walks, or check-ins. I’m happy to help keep your pets happy and cared for whenever you need support. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I will carefully follow all instructions and routines to ensure your pet feels secure and cared for. Whether it’s a drop-in visit for companionship or a walk around the neighborhood, I will provide attentive, trustworthy care in a loving environment that helps your pet feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I'm an animal lover looking to spend more time away from the keyboard and would love to spend time taking care of your furry family member! I have 3 cats at home and lost my soul pup in the fall of 2025 💔. I've been on Rover for several years now, I grew up with cats and a dog, and have always been a huge animal lover. I've volunteered at the cat café in East Lansing keeping the cat room clean, performing wellness checks, and giving extra love to the kitties there. I've also volunteered at humane societies in my hometown and near my college by dog walking, socializing cats, and maintaining facilities as necessary. Reach out to me if you have any questions or if you'd like to see if we'd be a good fit! I'm not currently working full time (which will hopefully change soon) so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to meet & greets, drop-ins, and dog walking. I have a large fenced in yard with some wild critters about (bunnies andgroundhogs mostly). I would spend time taking walks, playing, and training along with all the essentials.

“Alex is friendly, kind, responsive, and responsible. He quickly got back to me about a last minute dog walk, and also handled our overly excited puppy with ease.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was around 7 years old! Family friends and neighbors have relied on me to house sit, walk, and feed their pets. I love all animals and enjoy caring for them. I am currently a volunteer at a local animal shelter and have basic first aid training. I work from home most days so I have lots of flexibility. Outside of work hours I am completely free and able to travel to your home. I will tend to your animals as if they are my own. I will provide updates and communicate efficiently. Please provide me any details necessary for caring for your pets!

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who will treat your dog(s) like my own. I’ve had a dog as a pet my entire life, have fostered dogs previously and volunteer with a local pet rescue. I’m available for dog walking, drop ins and play time. I’m reliable and will create a stress free situation while you are away! I’m currently not working and have a flexible schedule. I’m available between 7:00am and 9:00pm. Available 7 days a week for dog walking and drop ins. I understand how important it is to feel confident in the care your pet receives. I have experience handling senior dogs and administering medication. I follow instructions and am detailed.

“Nikki has been great with my young dog. She has walked/dropped in to check on him during two separate occasions when he was healing from surgery or other procedures from the vet. She is great about sending updates for when she is on the way to my house and on my dog’s mood that day. She is very good at reading him and judging whether he wanted to walk that day or just hang out in the backyard. I recommend Nikki for drop in visits or dog walks.”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I've owned and cared for a variety of pets over the years and have experience with animals of different ages, personalities, and care needs. One of the most rewarding parts of my pet-care journey has been fostering. I'm currently a pet care specialist and foster with Capital Area Humane Society (CAHS) and have also fostered for other shelters in the past. Through fostering, I've cared for pets who were shy, energetic, recovering from medical procedures, learning social skills, or simply looking for a safe place to land before finding their forever homes. I also have two dogs who don't currently live with me, but I absolutely love spending time with them whenever I can. Whether it's long walks, outdoor adventures, or hiking local trails, I'm happiest when I have a furry companion by my side. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I work shorter shifts at Capital Area Humane Society, so my schedule allows me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive care for pets throughout the week. I make it a priority to plan my day around the pets I'm caring for so they receive the attention, exercise, potty breaks, meals, and companionship they need. Whether your pet thrives on a structured routine or is more laid-back, I'm happy to work with their individual schedule and needs. Communication is important to me, so you can also expect regular updates, photos, and check-ins while you're away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. My approach is centered on safety, patience, and positive interactions. As a foster caregiver, I've worked with animals from many different backgrounds, which has taught me how to read body language, respect boundaries, and help pets feel comfortable in new situations. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, routines, and household rules. I believe every pet deserves individualized care and attention. My goal is to provide a safe, stress-free experience where both pets and owners feel confident and comfortable. You can count on me to treat your pets with the same love and care I would give my own.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was in college, providing care mostly to dogs and cats, including dog walks, playtime, administering medicine and medical care (including daily shots) to both dogs and cats. Friends and acquaintances have relied on me to care for their pets for up to six months at a time. I work from home and have a fairly open schedule so I’m available to stay in your home or visit your home and pets during the day and can keep them company during the workday as well as on the weekends. I care for pets as though they are my own and have had experience caring for pets on very strict schedules. I honor your wishes in how you want and need for your pet to be loved while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a kid I would help out friend, family members, and neighbors with their pets. I've had a lot of experience caring for all sorts of animals through means of daily check-in's, going on walks, and overnight stays! I am currently a student at MSU with a somewhat flexible schedule during the week and I am available in mornings on saturday and sundays, I am also available sunday nights. I live with two dogs who would definitely keep your dog some very friendly company, they also love cats as well! I love taking my own dog on walks and there is a nice little park very close to my house that I love to walk my dog to.

About: After our dog crossed the rainbow bridge at nearly 14 years old, my spouse, Randy and I, have loved caring for family pets intermittently. Being retired has opened up more time to share our love with your dog(s)! Retired couple. Our ranch home is pet friendly with sliding patio door for our fenced yard access. I am a nurse so also comfortable giving medications. We love walking dogs we care for if desired twice per day. We have a fenced yard with trail access for walking dogs if desired twice per day. Dogs are welcome on furniture if allowed at your home. We keep dog towels by our patio access for paw wiping.

About: What truly sets me apart is a lifetime of devotion to animals and the full-time availability that your pet deserves. Growing up in Cuba, I was known for bringing home every stray I found; today, that passion has evolved into a deep understanding of canine behavior and dedicated care. My "Secret Sauce" for Pet Care: • Constant Companionship: Since I work remotely, your pet won't just be "checked on"—they will have a coworker! I am home nearly all day to provide potty breaks, belly rubs, and supervision. • Body Language Expert: With years of experience owning dogs and cats, I am highly sensitive to their non-verbal cues. I can tell the difference between a "let's play" bark and "I’m feeling anxious" pacing, ensuring your pet feels safe and understood. • Communication is Key: I know how hard it is to be away from your best friend. You can expect frequent photo updates and messages throughout the day so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. • Active Lifestyle: Daily walks aren't a chore for me—they’re a highlight. I ensure every dog gets the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need to stay happy. Safety First: The Meet & Greet I believe the best sits start with a solid foundation of trust. I require a Meet & Greet with all new clients before a booking is finalized. This allows us to ensure the chemistry is right for everyone. If for any reason it doesn’t feel like a perfect match, I offer a full refund. Your pet’s comfort is my absolute priority! Because I work from home full-time, my schedule is built around the needs of the pets in my care. I don’t just pop in; I provide a consistent, calm environment where your pet is treated like a member of the family. • Morning: We start with a brisk walk and breakfast to get the energy out before I "clock in." • Workday: While I’m at my desk, pets usually nap by my feet or join me for brief play breaks and backyard potty visits between my meetings. • Afternoon: A mid-day walk or enrichment session to keep their minds sharp and bodies active. • Evening: After work, I may go to a yoga class which is usually about two hours total. Afterwards, it’s all about relaxation—more walks, dinner, and plenty of couch cuddles. In Your Home: • Respectful Presence: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping things tidy and secure. • Minimal Disruption: I focus on keeping your pet in their "safe zone." We’ll go on their favorite neighborhood routes and play with their familiar toys. • Safety First: I am extremely diligent about double-checking locks, alarms, and ensuring no "off-limits" items are within reach of your pet.

About: All my life I have been taking care of dogs, whether it’s puppies or senior dogs. I find dogs interesting and I love watching them in their natural setting. I can definitely tune into your dog’s body language and give them what they need. And my friends and family are always asking me for help with their pets! As of right now I’m available Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday all day! Then Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday I’m only available until two. This will soon change! I don’t offer pets in my home, but I will be glad to come to yours and take care of all your pets needs! If you have pets that require special care, even medication, I will be happy to accommodate that. Or if they just need playtime or to use the bathroom. I’m happy to do whatever you need!

About: I have been on rover for almost 3 years now, I have experience in all care fields (child, adult, and animal), and am also a licensed massage therapist. I have 6 adorable Pugbulls and one cat.I've cared for fish, cats, and dogs. In a 30min time block I can usually walk a little over a mile with a dog, even if they want to stop and sniff around a bit. I love all animals and am always willing to look after new types of animals! Unfortunately I’m not currently taking on new weekly walks, I will update this should that change. Currently my schedule is very flexible and open during the whole week. Should that schedule change I will update this description and let any clients I’m working with know. I have a very flexible work schedule as a massage therapist, if a day isn’t available I will have it updated as unavailable on my rover calendar. I always make sure to allow all pets to come to me at their own pace without making them feel like I’m invading their personal space. This helps them be comfortable with me quickly and feel safe in their home.

“Cathy did so well with our German Shepherd. He pulls us pretty hard on walks, but wasn’t an issue for Cathy. She was prompt and caring and very communicative. Would definitely request her services again!”

Michael N.

“Thank you so much Megan for coming on short notice doing a meet and greet and being able to walk Hazel on the same day. She really enjoyed her walk.”

About: I am currently studying dog training and actively working toward professional certification. I focus on positive reinforcement, reading canine body language, and creating calm, structured environments tailored to each dog’s needs. This allows me to provide safe, thoughtful care, especially for dogs who are anxious, high-energy, or need consistency. Pet care is part of my everyday routine. I keep days structured with regular walks, enrichment, and downtime, and I work from home so pets are rarely left alone. This works especially well for dogs who do better with consistency or need a calmer environment. I provide pet sitting in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in their own familiar environment. I follow your routines closely, including feeding, walks, medication if needed, and enrichment, while keeping stress low and schedules consistent.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. I currently work at a doggy daycare, where I spend my days supervising, playing with, and caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. This experience has given me strong skills in understanding dog behavior, maintaining safe group environments, and making sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I have experience with dogs of all ages, training levels, abilities, and dietary needs. I’m comfortable caring for high-energy puppies, senior dogs who need a gentler pace, and everything in between. Working in daycare has also taught me how to read body language, manage different temperaments, and provide individualized attention to each dog. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and happy while giving owners peace of mind that their dog is in good hands. I treat every dog like they are my own and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work part-time and am an MSU senior and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m available for visits, walks, and sitting during weekdays after work and have more open availability on weekends. Since I already spend much of my time around animals through my job, caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and easily incorporate into my day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs they may have so I can provide consistent and attentive care. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and house rules. I pay close attention to animal behavior and make sure pets are always in a safe and calm environment. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands.

“Great with my 9-month old ! Out walking and playing with her has been a bonus! Highly recommend Heather!”
