“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”
“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!”
“Janice always shows up on time and is wonderful with my dog! She always goes above and beyond just the dog walking requirement and I certainly feel 100% comfortable having her in my house and taking care of my dog. I highly recommend!”
“Jessi knows just what our Hiro needs. Our rescue dog can fearful of other dogs and be reactive. Jessi’s calm confident demeanor helps our dog remain calm and confident so he is able to walk our neighborhood. Jessi has a way with animals!!”
“Tusk was so excited to go on a run / walk with Eric. The minute Eric pulled into the parking lot, Tusk met him at the door, ready to start his walk. Eric and Tusk ran and walked. Tusk came home, happily tired. Eric kept me updated with photos and video. I highly recommend Eric. This was their first walk together. They immediately bonded. I was so relieved.”
“Tera is amazing! She went above and beyond! Met our pup beforehand, was very patient with him as he can be skittish, took him on long walks, and played with him at the park. Our pup looked so happy and seemed very excited when she would come by to walk him! Highly recommend!”
“Our dog was supper happy and calm when we got home after Tori walked him and spent time with him. I can see he had a great time with her! She was also easy to communicate with. I would request her services again in the future, and recommend her to other dog owners.”
About: I grew up with cocker spaniel pups most of my childhood, caring for them from newborn and on! As an adult, my husband and I adopted two dogs and loved them as our children into their old age. I'm adept at given meds and adjusting to older age. We've had pets of all sizes but do prefer to board 80 lbs and under :) My schedule is pretty flexible as I work/volunteer part time! I can make a variety of things work, even if it may be relatively short notice. I have a nice sized fenced in yard that your pups will love running around in! I will care for them like they are my own. I only accept boarding from one client at a time (can do multiple pups from the same home) but I do occassionally take a dog for a day care visit. (Please let me know if this is not advisable during your pup's stay.)
About: I've taken care of neighbor and family pets since the 1990s, mostly cats and dogs. I'm comfortable with daily care, feeding schedules walks, playtime, and helping pet feel calm, safe, and well looked after. I make my own schedule so I'm able to help watch pets almost anytime. Weekdays, weekends, days, nights, all sorts of times. Hit me up! I have a large fenced yard and one dog who gets along well with others. When I'm caring for a pet at its house I'm very respectful of the space.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, and I truly love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to get to know them, understand their needs, and build a trusting relationship. I have experience caring for puppies through senior dogs, including dogs with different routines, temperaments, and special needs. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and using positive reinforcement to help pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. Because I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs, including some last-minute requests. I also love walking and being outdoors, so I’m always happy to have a furry buddy join me. Over the years, I’ve been a trusted caretaker for many pets, giving owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are cared for, loved, and treated with patience and kindness while they’re away. I work from home with a very flexible schedule! Your dog can work with me at my home and will always have someone around to give them comfort. I have a fenced in yard and/or can crate your dog if needed. I have a yappy senior chihuahua, that is all bark, no bite.
About: I have always loved animals ever since I was a child. As soon as I was old enough to do so, I began taking care of my neighbors' cats and dogs when they would leave for vacation or work trips, in addition to my own dog. From there, I began volunteering at the League for Animal Welfare, a no-kill shelter in Ohio. I worked with countless dogs and cats to help train, socialize, and exercise them, and otherwise prepare them for adoption into a forever home. I am responsible, reliable, and dedicated to keeping all pets safe and happy. After owning a large golden retriever and caring for numerous dogs both larger and smaller, I am comfortable and experienced with all breeds and sizes of dogs and cats. Above all, I love animals, and will go above and beyond to make sure that your pet(s) are safe, healthy, and happy.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for nearly my entire life. My neighbors, friends and family often rely on me to care for their pets while they're away. I am definitely and animal person and seek them out wherever I go! I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your critters! I'm available 12:30-2:30 on M/W/F, Tuesday mornings until 1p and after 2, and weekends are pretty flexible. I have a fenced in yard and am able to crate your dog if necessary. I also have space to isolate your critter from the household cats if necessary.
About: I understand how some animals need special care. I have a 14 year old cat that has an autoimmune disease. When he is fed, there is a detailed list of thing’s that must go into his food. I have also cared for a senior cat that needed to eat at very specific times because he was so thin. Every animal is different and as owners we know what they need to have their best life. I do my best to treat each pet just as their owners treat them. I work part time right now and the only days I am not completely available are Tuesdays and Thursday. I can care for your pet Monday and Wednesday anytime and Friday through Sundays anytime if your animals are alright with children because I have a 9 year old son. I won’t be able to bring your pet to my home because I have multiple cats that would be disturbed. I however can care for them at your house.
About: I've always loved animals. My family had dogs growing up, and I now have a dog of my own, so I understand firsthand how much personal attention and routine matter to a pet's comfort and happiness. I have experience caring for dogs ranging from small breeds to large dogs, and I'm comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and daily routines. I always take the time to understand each pet's individual needs and follow their owner's instructions carefully. I also have experience providing cat drop-in visits, including feeding, refreshing water, litter box care, and spending time with them. Whether your pet is energetic, independent, cuddly, or somewhere in between, I'm happy to provide attentive, personalized care and make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you're away. I'm currently working part-time, so I will be home for most of the time and have plenty of time to play with your loving family, and take good care of them.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Ypsilanti. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
