Dog Sitting in Conklin

About: I have 6+ years experience of doggy daycare/boarding industry being a General Manager at a local facility. I would take care of 60+ dogs, senior dogs, puppies, reactive dogs, anxious dogs, noise sensitive dogs, etc. I also have 2 years experience in the vet field as an assistant/receptionist at a vet office and emergency care office. I also have experience with administering medications, cutting nails, & light grooming. I am a stay-at-home mom, so I am home all day including most weekends with my husband, Lucas. From waking up early in the morning to staying up late in the night, I’m always attentive. I have leads and leashes to walk your pet, take them out to the bathroom & even just to play outside! We love going to fields to play ball or just going on nature walks around our neighborhood. This can happen at our house or yours as well! Pets are closely monitored throughout their whole stay with me. I also have the ability to crate your pet during certain parts of the day if you wish, otherwise they will have access to most of our home if they stay here :)

“Kiana is amazing. She’s attentive, loving and communicative. She left great updates on my dog each visit and was efficient in how to care for my dog while we were away. I’d definitely trust her to assist again and refer her to others.”

About: Hi! I’m Ashleigh 😊 I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have a few years of dog-sitting experience, caring for both my own pets and my neighbors’ dogs. I’m comfortable with small and medium-sized dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking, and I’m available during the afternoon (sometimes early morning)and on most holidays. I currently work during the day, but I’m happy to help on my days off and when my schedule allows. I’m comfortable with puppies and senior dogs, and I can care for multiple pets at once. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or just some extra companionship. You can expect regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is in good hands 🐾 Feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your pet! I currently work during the day, so I offer pet care mainly on my days off and when I have daytime availability. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m an animal lover and enjoy spending time with dogs. I make sure to plan my schedule so each pet gets enough attention, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or playtime. I keep my availability realistic so I can provide reliable, consistent care for every booking. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their usual routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel comfortable and secure.

I provide updates and photos after visits so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for 🐾

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and love caring for pets of all kinds.

I recently moved to the area and am excited to connect with local pet owners. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like they’re my own! I will give them plenty of attention, care, and love. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or boarding, I’m here to help and make the experience stress-free for both you and your pet!

I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs. I supervise all interactions and ensure pets are always secure, whether indoors or outside. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins for peace of mind.

About: I am the friends and family dog sitter! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and I could still pet them for hours and not get bored. On average I stay at someone houses for a week while they’re on vacation as well as but not as often a weekend stay. As well as drop in visits to feed, walk or let pets out to do their business. I am great will all breads and sizes of dogs/cats, as well as ages such as senior animals. I personally took are of our 90lb 11 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback after her back legs gave out. So while using a harness I would help her do everything, such as standing up to eat, move around and go outside. I can also do things like trimming nails and bathing them (especially if you unable to bath them yourself). I truly care and feel for every animal as if they were my own. I’m currently not working full time at the moment and have been doing small jobs here and there such as dog sitting for friends and family. I have a great portion of time for spend getting to know and engaging in your pets. I’m available anytime after 9am. I will care for your pets the way I would care for my own and in such continue their regular and daily routine. Including things such as walking them in the morning/night, playing with them and loving them or any other needed or wanted activities.

About: I love all types of animals. I have experience in rabbits, cats & dogs. My family has always had animals, it’s a second nature to me. I am currently unemployed but looking for part time work. I would love to pick up pet sitting opportunities as much as possible. I have a free and open schedule. I do not offer pet services in my home but at the clients home I am more than willing to crate animals or let them out into a fenced in yard to watch them. I am good with rewarding with treats, having play time, picking up poop, cleaning, etc. I am fully capable of the responsibility it takes to care and build trust with animals.

About: Animals have always been at the center of my life. I am now the founder of my own Nonprofit Organization that supports animal shelters across the state of Michigan. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments — including senior pets and high-energy breeds. I understand how important routine, patience, and trust are for animals. Your pet will be treated like family with me. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I am organized, dependable, and used to balancing responsibilities as a college student, athlete, and volunteer. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent care, on-time visits, and plenty of attention. I am available for scheduled walks, drop-ins, and flexible bookings depending on your needs. Safety is my top priority. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow all instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s routine. I double-check leashes, harnesses, gates, and doors to ensure security during walks and visits. I stay attentive to behavior changes and will communicate immediately if anything seems off. I provide calm, structured, and loving care so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away.

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Nicole treated our dogs like family—spending plenty of time with them and sending regular updates with photos. It gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend and will definitely book with her again!”

About: Current Availability: Monday-Friday: 3pm-9pm, perfect for 2nd Shifters! I also offer overnights as "daycare"! Weekends: Open Availability. I have been a pet owner and lover for the last 30+ years with most of my experience with dogs, cats, and horses. My experience includes all species of household pets (limited experience in reptile care), livestock, and most birds. I have had cats my whole life and have rescued, fostered, and even hand-raised kittens. I do not discriminate based on breed so your pitty-pals and other "aggressive" labeled dog breeds are welcome. ❗IMPORTANT: I require a Meet & Greet with every animal I care for. This is a personal as well as professional preference to ensure safety and quality of care for the animal. I do NOT do sudden drop-offs so please plan ahead to ensure you have time to schedule a M&G before service starts.❗ I'm currently working full-time Monday thru Friday 5 am-2 pm in Kentwood, MI. Depending on your location, I can be available for walks or drop ins as early as 2:15 pm. I will only board one dog at a time, and up to two cats. Boarded cats will be kept in a separate bedroom away from my own to ease stress. Long-term boarding for all animals may be possible and considered on an individual basis. I currently have 2 dogs and 4 cats in the home. Both dogs are females, one spayed (rescue) and one who remains intact with plans to spay July 2026 when she is 2. I do not have a fenced in yard so boarded dogs will have to be on a leash or 20ft. longline (not tie-out) while outside. I'm in a community offset from major roads that allows me to walk dogs safely and I live only a few miles from Grand Ravines Dog Park. I am planning on adding a few Sniffspots that I can utilize if preferred.

About: I have cared for other's pets since I was around ten years old, and have been a dog mom since April 2019. I have extensive experience with dog and human reactivity, anxiety, and a variety of annoying behaviors. As long as I (a 140lb woman) am physically able to keep the dog and others safe, I am comfortable with their temperament and quirks! I work typical full-time hours (7:30-4:00), and am occasionally free for a lunchtime visit. Always feel free to reach out for exact availability for a given time! I will make the most of our time with training, brain games, and physical exercise. I will follow the owner's instructions for any special needs or requests.

“Rish is nothing but amazing. I was nervous because of my difficult dog. She took pictures and you could see the joy in their faces. Will rebook in the future!”

I currently volunteer at a local shelter to take dogs hiking every week and would love to help get your dog the exercise they need and deserve. As a life long animal lover I’d love to take care of your furry friend! I am currently a senior at GVSU and am looking for a flexible work opportunities! I am available most afternoons and evenings. I go on regular hikes/walks in my free time and would love to bring your dog along! I have many designated walking and hiking routes planned to accommodate different dog temperaments. From friendly playful dogs to dogs who would prefer their own space I can keep them safe.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have extensive experience in caring for my own animals (dogs, cats, and rabbits). I also was trusted to watch neighborhood dogs for day check ins and overnight stays. I have experience in caring for elderly dogs with specific dietary restrictions! I’m currently job hunting which leaves my days and nights almost completely free to be with your animals! I’m free for overnight stays as well as daily check ins. I am unable to have animals stay at my apartment due to its small size and my cats. But I have years of experience caring for animals in their homes, I feel confident in my ability to keep your pets happy and well cared for.

About: Hi! My name is Rebeca and I’m a huge dog lover. My husband and I recently welcomed our miniature Aussiedoodle puppy, Luna, into our home, and caring for her has made us even more passionate about dogs. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very attentive to details and routines, so if your dog has specific feeding schedules, training needs, or favorite activities, I’m happy to follow them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing, I make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I would love to meet you and your pup! 🐾 Since I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Pets in my care receive regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of companionship. My daily routine already includes caring for my puppy, so adding another dog to our routine fits very naturally. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel safe and relaxed. Because I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest time. I’m comfortable caring for puppies and understand the importance of structure, patience, and positive reinforcement. I also have a puppy at home, so maintaining a safe environment is already part of my daily routine. I make sure all spaces are pet-safe and always supervise interactions to ensure every dog feels comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow all instructions to keep pets comfortable and maintain their normal routine. Communication is very important to me, so I always send regular updates, photos, and messages so pet parents feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

“Above and beyond!! Kari was awesome! She even cleaned up after my little trouble maker! So thankful!”
