Dog Sitting in Coopersville

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.

About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of them until they were old. I am good with pets loving and stern.I will care for all animals like they are mine. I currently have a part time job where I work in the mornings. I am usually free after 3 and early mornings. I have plenty of free time now that it is summer. I have a fenced in yard where your dog can run. I have a dog friendly house where they can’t get in to anything that may hurt them. I can keep them company and provide toys as well.

About: I have had dogs in my life since I came into this world! Dogs are my life and I love every single doggo I see. Fun fact: I’m that dog-loving nut who asks complete strangers on the street if I can pet their babies! Then I promptly start talking to the dog as if he’s my best friend in the entire world who I haven’t seen in 20 years (who am I kidding? Of course every dog is my best friend!) I have owned dogs in adulthood and have successfully trained them utilizing positive reinforcement training as well as click training. I slowly get to know the doggo and meet him/her on their level. I enjoy taking my own doggos (Margie the border collie and Lilibet the corgi) to the dog park and on walks up and down our steep hill! I know how to wear out the excited ones and embrace the couch potato ones :) I have multiple nicknames for my dogs and chances are, your dog will inherit a nickname from me :) I will love on your furry friend like they’re my own. I currently work a flexible full time job for a company I love! I am able to work from home at least 1 day a week and have every other Friday OFF, along with extended holidays. I am able to stay in your home and care for your animals like they're my own! If you live within 10 minutes of 49512, I am able to provide lunch break playtime! I have been very in sync with animals, especially dogs, since a young age. I can tell when a dog is stressed, moody, ready to play; I can recognize the “let-me-out-to-pee-lady” face. If a pup needs to be leashed, I’ll be right there with him until he’s ready to go inside. I’m diligent about closed doors, locked gates, scanning for fence holes or potential escape routes, and I never EVER leave a dog unattended while outside. If you’re baby is staying at my home and needs to be crated, I have a quiet area in my home in a separate suite where he can chill out and relax. All chemicals or poisonous items are kept in a cabinet above our washing machine and nothing is left on the ground. Our cat litter is in a special litter box that is impossible for sneaky poo snack cravers to get into. If your friend doesn’t much prefer cats, we have a private apartment suite on our lower level where we can hang out cat-free!

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 :)

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.

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

“Kristina gave exceptional care to Contessa. She gave dedicated attention and reassurance to a rather anxious senior dog. She is a trusted sitter.”

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life, which has made caring for them second nature to me. I have two dogs of my own, all of whom I've helped trained. They each have unique needs, including daily medication and diet preferences, so I'm very familiar with managing a variety of routines and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve dog-sat for family, friends, and neighbors over the years. I’m comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I'm especially patient with dogs who are still in training or adjusting to new environments. I've also volunteered at several local animal shelters, where I spent time walking and working with dogs who required extra care, structure, and patience, many of whom were strong pullers or had behavioral challenges. These experiences have taught me how to stay calm and confident in any situation, and I always prioritize a dog's safety, comfort, and well-being. Whether your dog needs a long walk, extra cuddles, or a specific care routine while you're away, I'll make sure they're cared for as if they were my own. I'm a college student, and I work as a Nurse Technician at a hospital two days a week. Despite my busy schedule, I'm highly flexible and have availability throughout the week and some weekends. Pet care is something I enjoy, so I'm happy to make the time to be there for your pets. When caring for your pet in your home, I will stick to your pet's routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding them at specific times, taking them for walks, or ensuring they get plenty of playtime. I'll provide lots of attention and affection to keep them feeling secure while you’re away. If your pet needs any special care, like administering medication or following specific instructions, I’m more than happy to accommodate. I understand the needs of pets that require extra attention, as I have dogs of my own who need special care. I'll keep a close eye on your pet's behavior, and I’ll always reach out if anything unusual comes up. I’m also happy to send pictures to keep you updated and help you feel more at ease!

About: Hello! My name is Emily, I’m 20 Y/O and have been around dogs and cats my entire life, and have had many family and friends trust me to take care of their pets for vacations/trips! My favorite part of the day is coming home to my dog and cat waiting for me at the door! Giving them and receiving some much needed love after a long day is the best way to wind down! I can always make an AM and PM stop/stay nights if needed, however midday sometimes varies! Let me know your preference(s) ahead of time and it should be just fine! I love and can work with all dogs including big dogs, high energy and “sassy” cats, and am good with crating animals if needed.

“Abigail was great, she responded quickly and was able to take a last minute booking. She sent tons of cute photos during her time with my pup which was much appreciated. Would book again!”
