Dog Walking Lacota

“Vicki did an excellent job helping me with Zoey. She proved an opportunity for my dog to relieve herself while I was playing 18 holes of golf and my long time away . She is now a friend of my dog, Zoey. She definitely is good with dog's.”

“Gina was great at helping me out last minute to take Bella for a walk. So happy she was able to come over!”

About: I have three years of experience working at a reputable dog daycare, one year of experience working alongside a trainer, training puppies, and one year of experience working as a trainer assistant, assisting with training service dogs. I also have experience caring for my own dogs, rodents, and ducks. I have time to offer drop-ins or walks during the week—most mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I will also sometimes take weekend or holiday requests. Feel free to reach out with a message about scheduling questions! In most cases, I will come to your house to care for your animal, so that they feel safe and comfortable in their normal, day to day environment.

About: I have connected with dogs my entire life, and I wouldn't have it any other way! I enjoy the company of dogs so much that I have spent years in the pet care industry, and have been officially a "dog mom" for past nine years to my own delightful fur babies. I have worked and lived with dogs of all breeds, energy levels, and abilities and I love them all! I am currently looking for new clients who are looking for mid-day dog walker. I am a freelancer so I am able to control my over schedule. I am so grateful to be able to provide year-round dog walking services. As someone who loves nature, dogs, and the seasons, I enjoy providing regular walks to pets whose parents may not be able to fit a mid-day walk in their daily schedule. With any dog-sitting services, I also provide regular walks as well as the feeding, caretaking, and snuggling of your pets!

About: 10 years dog owner and lifetime cat owner. Very patient and caring with animals. Good at following instructions if special care is needed. Not scared of large dogs. I work part time from home so my schedule is pretty flexible when it comes to pet sitting walks or what ever the job requires. I have two large dogs Rottweiler and Pitt Rottweiler mix and three cats. Dogs are cat friendly. Large yard and crate is available upon request if needed.

About: As much as we want to bring our pets everywhere with us sometimes, we can’t. But that shouldn’t mean your pet isn’t living their best life possible. I can check in on your pet for some company, pets and play time, treats, meals, water, and a walk. I can also do anything else they may need. My goal is to give your pet a better day and give you a peace of mind knowing your pet is happy. I grew up on a farm with all animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, and horses. I was in a dog club growing up and learned basic dog training skills. Over the years I’ve cared for puppies and senior dogs needing special assistance and medications. I’ve helped care for multiple animals and hope to have the opportunity to care for yours too. I’m working part time in (human) healthcare. As much as I love people, I want to spend more time with animals on my days off. I work every Monday and Wednesday and am busy Saturday most of the time. My schedule changes once in a while but this is the general availability. I am mostly available morning and afternoon until about 3pm. Please ask for any specific times though anytime and I’ll see if it ends up working out. Thanks! 😊 My goal is to make sure your dog is as well cared for as if you were there yourself. I can do what you request. I can feed, water, potty break, medication administration, play time and pets, or go for a walk. I can leave them out or crate when I leave.

“Jennifer was able to help me out this week when my regular walker was sick and I was in a pinch. My senior pup loves her and she even gets him to go potty in the rain. She’s professional, responsive and I’ll definitely be contacting her in the future!”

About: I worked as a veterinary technician for 5 years and have had my own animals for a long time! I'm comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and have worked as a pet sitter since I was 17 (13 years). I currently work part-time and have a hybrid schedule, so I'm able to be relatively flexible with my visits and walks. I'm available some weekends as well. I can crate dogs after walks or a drop in visit as needed, and I'm comfortable feeding and administering medications for whichever pets may need them.

About: Hi, I’m Madison! I’m a professional canine trainer, behaviorist, groomer, and full-time caretaker with 12 years of hands-on experience. I’m certified in dog behavior, temperament, body language, and care—so I understand what dogs need to feel safe, confident, and happy. I create enriching, balanced environments where every dog can thrive. From playful activities to structured downtime and personalized attention for pups with unique needs, I tailor each day to your dog’s individual personality. With me, your furry family member is treated like my own—showered with love, positive guidance, and plenty of tail-wagging fun! I give every dog my full attention, making sure they feel safe, loved, and totally at ease. Most days, you’ll find us outside soaking up the fresh air—running, playing, and exploring together. And if you ever wonder where I am, I’m probably out back with the pack having a blast. When winter hits, we move the fun into our heated, pup-friendly garage. It’s set up just for them, with turf or rubber mats for comfort and tons of toys to keep tails wagging. No matter the weather, your dog will always have a cozy, engaging, and joyful space to call their home-away-from-home. Your pup’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority! Our fully fenced-in backyard is designed with your dog’s comfort and enjoyment in mind, featuring pools, toys, water bowls, and all the essentials for a fun and enriching experience. Each dog is fed separately to maintain a peaceful and individualized routine. For dogs who prefer more privacy, we provide private rooms to ensure they have a quiet space away from the other dogs when needed. We are committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and personalized environment for every dog in our care.

“Marie is great! Easy to communicate with, always on time, and loved our dog just like she loves her own dogs. Highly recommended!”

About: I pay close attention to each dog’s unique personality and needs — from high-energy adventurers who love long walks to gentle souls who just want cuddles and calm company. You can count on me for dependable communication, updates, and plenty of photos so you always feel connected and at ease. I’m currently working part time as a babysitter so my schedule is quite flexible. Tuesdays are taken up but outside of that I’m very flexible! I have a dog friendly home with an open back yard. All dogs will be leashed at all times whether in your home or mine. Dogs in my home are dog friendly as well!

About: I’m a dedicated dog owner myself. I understand the daily care, patience, and love that pets need because I live it every day with my own pup. I’m experienced with high-energy dogs, puppies who are still learning, and senior dogs that require a little extra attention and gentle care. I know how important structure and consistency are, so I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable while sticking to their normal routines. Whether it’s playtime, walks, training reinforcement, or giving meds, I treat every dog like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a startup founder, I have the freedom to set my own meeting times, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. In my care, pets get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I can also help reinforce training, stick to feeding routines, and keep them active and happy while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of my friends and family’s pets for 5 years all different sizes. Big and small and I love every minute of it! I’m currently working part time in Kalamazoo but Still have plenty of time to be able to play with your pets! My schedule does change weekly. I play with them, feed them and take them on walks. If they want they can sleep in my room or bed with me as well!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life! Not only my own dogs, but friends and neighbors dogs as well. I love animals and they love me. I am flexible and can adapt to serve your pets needs. I have great attention to detail and care for pets in a timely manner, feeding and walking consistently according to their normal schedule to avoid disrupting their routine. I know how tough it is to leave your pets, but I will give them love and care and send as many pictures as you’d like throughout their time with me. I am a grad student and I would be happy to add caring for your pet into my day or week. I have time to let your pet out about every 4 hours. My schedule is flexible and I am happy to accommodate any special requests. I groomed my golden doodle and gave him all his haircuts for several years. I’d be happy to groom your dog too! I will do my best to adjust to feed and walk or play with your dog at the time they are used to do their routine isn’t disturbed.

“I’m super thankful to Jennica! My dog is everything and I’m super glad that I got picture and walk updates and my pup is really happy!”

Selah M.

“From the minute our dog met Morgan I could tell things would go well. Morgan was very timely and sent pictures and details about each visit with our dog Leo. I was out of town and when I asked if she could do a couple of extra things to care for Leo she happily agreed. She is very trustworthy, attentive to details and caring. I look forward to having her help with Leo again in the future.”

About: I bring over 15 years of experience as a puppy trainer for Canine Companions for Independence, where I helped raise and train service dog puppies with structure, consistency, and patience. That experience gave me a deep understanding of obedience training, behavior development, socialization, and building trust with dogs of all temperaments. I’ve also had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, working with puppies, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. I understand routines, communication, and the importance of making pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. What sets me apart is reliability, experience, and treating every pet like family — with structured care, attention to detail, and consistent updates for peace of mind. As a stay-at-home dad, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. During the school year, I have flexibility and availability throughout the day for drop-ins, walks, feedings, and check-ins. Summers are even more open, allowing me to offer consistent, reliable care with a flexible schedule. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to prioritize punctuality, routine, and communication. Pet care isn’t something I try to squeeze in — it’s something I can intentionally plan my day around to ensure your pets receive dependable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide exercise or playtime based on their needs, clean litter boxes or pick up waste promptly, and reinforce any household rules or training already in place. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on consistency, patience, and attentiveness. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. With over 15 years of experience training puppies for Canine Companions for Independence and a lifetime of owning both dogs and cats, I’m highly observant of behavior and body language, ensuring your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.

About: I am an animal lover; I have been my entire life.I have experience working with senior animals, I have experience with administering all medications; whether it’s injections, oral liquids, or pills, or topicals. I treat my dog and my cat like they’re part of my family. I want your pets to feel loved while you’re away, so I will do everything I can to ensure that happens. I will make sure they are fed exactly as you need me to, I will administer medications (if they need them), we will go on walks, and if they are allowed to sleep in a bed, they can sleep with me also. I will make sure your home is straightened up before your return as well. I have a completely open schedule; so I can stop over any time of the day that you need care. Whether it’s early morning, or late evening, I can make that work for you. I will treat your home as if it is my own home. I will clean up after your pet and myself. I can administer medications (if needed), I will feed as you need me to; and I promise to give your pet lots of love and cuddles.

About: I grew up with pets and have always wanted to become a veterinarian. I have done dog sitting since I was old enough to stay alone. I had a small grooming business in my home for about a year before moving to Michigan. I have had my own pets ever since childhood. I’m a mama of two human babies and two fur babies and I have a big heart. I’m reliable, honest and caring. I currently work from home part time and would love to spend some extra time with new furry friends. My part time schedule is a set schedule. I’m very open about my availability and if something were to come up I make sure to inform my clients. When in your home with your pets, I am very respectful of your space and your pets. I will follow feeding and walking schedules as laid out or discussed. I know how important schedules are for pets (and humans). I understand trust takes time with both humans and pets and I’m very patient and understanding. I want my clients to know that their pets are safe with me, always. I’m open to answer any questions at any time.

About: I’ve been a nanny before for 6 months, I’ve watched dogs for people on vacation. I really put my heart into it and care for animals and humans alike! I am active and love getting outside and playing with your pets or giving them special attention and love! I am pretty open and looking for it to be my full time job. I’d love to build relationships with my clients and prove that I’m a trustworthy and reliable animal watcher. I cuddle and pet my dogs, brush them every other day and bathe them around once a week, depending on how dirty they are. I typically walk them once a day and allow them to get some fresh air at the park and get fresh air!
