Catherine Adamo

Owner

Catherine started walking dogs in the summer of 2015 a few weeks after graduating from Wayne State with a Masters in Social Work. The plan was to walk dogs in her neighborhood of Royal Oak to make some extra money while she started looking for jobs in Social Work. A few weeks later, she realized she was in for a bit of a career change and Royal Oak Dog Walkers was born.

In 2019, Catherine relaunched Royal Oak Dog Walkers under a new name; the Loyal Dog Club. With the relaunch, she added new services in addition to walking dogs. Together with her team, they are able to cater to a dog’s every need including walks, let outs, poop scooping, pet transportation, and overnight dog sitting. In the future, she hopes to expand her service area and open a dog park exclusively available to members of the Loyal Dog Club.

Experienced with all breeds and sizes. Your pets care is my #1 priority. As long as I can remember dogs have always been a part of my life. I have always had a special attachment and bond to them. They will get the best treatment and will be cared for as if they were my own. I also have experience with special needs dogs as well as administering medication and shots.

Dina Anthony

Dog Sitter – March 2021

I am a stay-at-home mom with a passion for animals. I have five children and currently have five pets (2 dogs, a cat, a bird, and a chinchilla). Although I have a degree in elementary education, I worked at the humane society and a boarding kennel throughout my college career. After exiting the workforce to care for my growing family, I continued to work with a boarding kennel and received my certification of pet CPR and first aide. I stopped working as my children were young. Now that they have grown a bit, I am looking forward to caring for animals once again. My pets have all been rescues and socialized from very young. My pets, children, and I are all looking forward to having your pet come and be a part of our active family while you are away from home. The more, the merrier and we hope to see you soon.
