Highlights
Pet care experience
Serious Care, Silly about Snuggles
I bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I spent 7+ years in a professional kennel providing daily care, playtime, and light training—basically a full-time tail-wagging consultant. At home, I’ve trained and raised two German Shepherds as service K-9s, including my senior shepherd, who keeps me on my toes (and sometimes on the couch!). I also have experience with reactive or challenging dogs, as well as breeds that require extra patience and skill. I’ve fostered dogs, cared for puppies, and been a trusted pet and house sitter for many years, giving me the ability to adapt to a wide range of personalities and needs. Whether it’s playtime, training reinforcement, calm companionship, or managing tricky situations, I treat every pet like family… and sometimes part of my comedy routine.

Safety, trust & environment
Pet safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, secure space with consistent routines, supervision, and plenty of play and enrichment. I have experience with all breeds and temperaments, including reactive or high-energy pets, and treat every home and pet as if they were my own, building trust through patient, loving care.
Ratings and reviews
Laken is amazing with my Chinese Shar-Pei. They don't like a lot of people, but they love her. She stays in touch with me and if anything comes up she lets me know right away. We love her like family. It's so amazing to go on a trip and not have to worry about my dogs. She babies them as much as I do. My female cries when she leaves.

Schedule
I’m excited to be new to the Grand Haven area and am looking forward to making pet care a big part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate regular walks, playtime, or longer visits as needed. Weekdays and weekends are both open for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to work with pets of all ages and energy levels. I’d love to become a reliable, go-to caregiver for local pets and their families, so I’m open to recurring bookings or longer-term arrangements. Your furry friends will get consistent care, plenty of love, and someone who truly enjoys being around them every day!
