Dog Walking in Kentwood

About: I have over eight years of experience caring for pets of all kinds—different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and ages. From energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra TLC, I’m comfortable adapting to each animal's unique needs. I’m also experienced in administering oral and topical medications safely and confidently. In addition to pet sitting, I worked as a professional dog bather for a year, which gave me hands-on experience handling dogs in high-energy environments. I currently work at The Pack as a dog care specialist, where I support dogs in group play, monitor behavior, and ensure their safety and well-being throughout the day. Whether it's daily walks, cuddle time, or more specialized care, I bring patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals to every visit! I work full-time, but my shifts are typically 5–6 hours a day, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide pet care before and/or after work. I’m available for morning, evening, and some midday visits depending on the day. On my days off, I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. When caring for your pets, I treat their space with the same respect and care as I would my own. I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication routines, or house rules—to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety at all times by keeping a close eye on pets during walks or playtime, making sure doors and gates are secure, and monitoring for any signs of stress or illness. Building trust with both pets and their people is incredibly important to me, and I take that responsibility seriously. I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel reassured and connected while you're away, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands!

About: I'm a devoted lifelong animal lover who's cared for cats and dogs since I was 7. My fur babies are my children that I love more than anything! I'm very committed and look forward to meeting you and your pet(s) to care for and love them like my own! My schedule is flexible, so I'll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet(s)! I have availability on weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby(s) company and feel welcome! I can easily crate your pet(s) if needed. For any stay at my home, I need to do meet and greets beforehand to ensure it's a good fit for everyone. I hope this is ok with you. This applies to new, prospective clients only.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and started caring for them on my own when I was 10. I’m now 30 and have lots of experience with both dogs and cats, as well as some exotic pets. I currently have one dog and one cat who I adore. I’m comfortable giving medications since my own cat takes daily pills for a chronic condition, so I understand the importance of gentle, reliable care. I truly love animals and always enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s playtime, walks, or just hanging out. I’m currently working from home and have flexible hours, so I can be pretty flexible about when I’m available during the weeks! I’m usually busy on weekends but I don’t mind a weekend request. If I’m available I will be there! At home I have backyard space at my townhouse where I can take my dog/other dogs out to use the bathroom! When I’m on my lunch break I can take dogs for walks around the block to get some exercise in for both myself and any dogs I’m watching 😊 When I go to clients homes I am happy to play with the pets, spend some time with them, and take them on a fun walk to burn off some energy!

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My sister worked at a zoo, so our home was basically a mini-safari—dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and the occasional surprise guest. Growing up around such a wide variety of animals taught me patience, respect, and how to read their personalities. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or a bit of both, I know how to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently a stay at home mom caring for my 6 year old son who is recovering from cancer. This job will allow the flexibility and meet the “out of public” requirement as our family needs to avoid illness while he recovers. Other than a 2-3 hour clinic visit twice a week, I am home and available. I have a fenced in yard back yard and a mostly quiet neighborhood where kids can play in the street safely. I have 2 cats and a rabbit of my own. All 3 are indoor animals with free range of the house. My rabbit has his own little house in our living room that he can safely retreat to when he’s not out for play time. A perfect space for any curious pet visitors we may have as they won’t be able to access him and cause any ruckus. If I am coming to your home, you can expect more than just a quick feed and potty break. Owners leaving can cause anxiety and stress on a pet. I have the time and heart to offer love, playtime, or needed snuggles and comfort your pet might miss while you’re away.

“I would highly recommend Maelee. She has walked Scout multiple times now and is always on time and a great communicator. Plus the cute pictures after the walk are always an added bonus 😊”

“Rachael is very reliable, she’s always on time and spends more time with my dog than she has to which shows that she really cares and wants to make sure my dog is well taken care of while I’m at work.”

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and now take care of my own 2 pups! I trained one of them on my own when he was a puppy. 8+ years of experience dog walking and sitting. I work hybrid and am very flexible to be able to walk, drop in or watch your pups overnight. Mornings work best for drop ins/walks but again, flexible to your and your dogs needs. I have two very friendly pups that would love more company. Fenced in back yard with a park/walking path in the neighborhood for plenty of exercise.

“Becki was reliable, always texted me and went above and beyond for both my dogs! Would recommend for sure!”

“Lisa did a flawless job again she showed up perfectly on time took care of our fur baby and everyone was much happier for her visit. We would use her again and again.”

About: Ever since I was born, my family and I have had dogs. I grew up with dogs and always consider them to be a member of the family. I have had a cat for about 6 years now and have fallen in love with cats as well (and animals in general)! I've become good at picking up signs to how the animal is feeling and love to assist with training activities. I have open availability to best fit your pet care needs. I'm very flexible and am currently only working part time. I can provide the care you need, when you need it! I can easily provide your animal with the best scratches, cuddles, exercise, and anything you may require! I enjoy long dog walks and have no issues feeding or checking on your animals if needed. I love to build a relationship with clients and their animals to help put you at ease.

“Layla had such a great time with Ellie! I appreciated the pictures she took on their walk and also the amount of time she spent with my dog. Will definitely rebook!!”

About: Hello, I have always loved animals! Having the opportunity to grow up with dogs, has led me to adopt in my adult life. My experience ranges from miniature Chihuahuas, to American Akitas. I have a deep understanding that all dogs are vastly different including temperament, needs, abilities, and so much more. I will always put the safety and needs of your pet as my first priority while in my care. I hope to have the opportunity to care for your pet. I also have experience caring for other animals such as birds, guinea pigs, and reptiles. I am currently working toward attending dog grooming school, I am hopeful to gain more experience working with animals on my days away from work. I offer services for walking. walks can be taken in your neighborhood/surrounding streets, or in designated doggie areas in the neighborhood if requested to do so.

About: Having been surrounded by animals for the majority of my youth, I was gifted with a passion for creatures of all kinds. Early on, I was tasked with petsitting for family members. I have now started pet sitting for family friends, colleagues, and others. I am looking to expand my reach, looking for more opportunities to give my time to this passion. I am a college student studying Biology at GRCC. I have weekends and Fridays off. When I am not at school, my schedule is pretty flexible. After class, I have quite a bit of time, perfect for dog walks, check ins, or anything your pet may need! When house sitting, I do not mind staying over on weekdays. I will still have school, most classes being 3 hours long, with the exception of my Tuesday class which is 6hrs. If you have questions on when my classes get out, what my schedule may look like, or any thing else, please feel free to reach out! Safety and communication is number one for me. I have always made sure to keep a good connection with any pet owners I may be sitting/walking for. I have a good understanding on how an animal may react in stressful situations and how to de-escalate a situation. A pet’s safety and health is incredibly important to understand when working with animals.

“Elizabeth is reliable, efficient, and she takes care of our dog with care and confidence. She even adjusted her schedule to help us out. We have made great experiences and would recommend her to friends and family.”
