Doggy Day Care in Baxter, Grand Rapids, MI

“Both Freya and Winston looked like they had a great time. We appreciate you hosting them on such short notice. We would definitely book again!”

“As first-time dog parents, the thought of leaving our adolescent puppy was anxiety-inducing, to say the absolute least. After several long, full daycare sessions with Josh, this process has become seamless, reassuring, and immensely positive for not only my partner and I, but most importantly, for our dog, Nato. We wholeheartedly appreciate the person Josh is, which is so clear in his care of Nato…and his (Nato’s) exuberant eagerness to always go back!”

“Lindsay was great! She kept me updated on my pup and it made me feel more at ease with leaving her for the day. I will def. Use Lindsay's service again! Very pleased”

“We are so glad we found Daniel! We have been taking our 10 month old dachshund to his house for daycare for the past month or so & we are very pleased! Our dog is getting good socialization in a safe setting. Daniel sends lots of updates throughout the day which we love to see!”

“Kourtney was a life saver! It was my first time traveling with my 1.5 year old Yellow Lab staying in a hotel. Any time I left the room she would bark non stop due to anxiety. Kourtney came to the rescue with her quick response to my messages. She was able to watch Ada the next day! Ada is a cautious dog but she warmed up to Kourtney in no time and she had a blast! Instead of a day in a hotel room, she spend it with a true dog loving person and even a trip to the local dog park! Kourtney was outstanding! I cannot be more grateful”

“Millie had the best time at Allyson’s today! This was the first time we did a daycare visit with our puppy and it was wonderful! Millie and Maverick are best buds already!!”

“Finn always has the best time (:”

“Kelsey is AMAZING! Frequent updates (pup-dates), daily walks, kept track of food consumption, frequent potty breaks. I cannot thank her enough :)”

About: When I was younger, my family had an adoption group helping greyhounds find their forever homes. We welcomed many dogs into our care, making sure they were healthy and happy. Sometimes, we were surprised with pregnant dogs, and were lucky to help care for the puppies when they were born. It was a special experience to be a part of bringing new life into the world. Growing up, I used to assist my family in managing an adoption group. Today, I am a homeowner with a lovely yard where my two adorable dogs love to play. Having my own place and yard feels like a dream come true after spending my childhood helping out with our family's adoption group. Now, I have two delightful dogs who bring so much happiness and energy into my home. These playful pups are like my children and I love taking them on trips and outings, especially to the dog park where they can have a great time running around and making new friends. I quit my job and am now a stay at home dog mom. My boys (dogs) use to be home alone for 8-9 hours a day while I was at work. Now my boys get 24/7 care. When it comes to different doggie needs, the services I offer can change. If your pup prefers some alone time, I have a cozy crate ready for them to use. They can also roam freely around the house or have their own quiet space upstairs, away from the hustle and bustle. Your furry friend's comfort and happiness are my top priorities!

“Misty is great with all animals! She has a heart for their well being and care. Misty takes care of my 2 dachshunds regularly and they love her! She loves on them, plays with them and takes care of all their needs. She also cares for my sugar gliders and leopard gecko when I'm away, so other critters can be left in her care as well, if needed. Misty is responsible, dependable and trustworthy. You won't find anyone more committed to care for your pets. She has a passion for taking care of animals and does an amazing job!”

“To describe Colene as an "animal lover" is a complete understatement! Even though she is quiet and introspective person her ethics in working with animals speaks volumes. Her interest in caring for animals began at an early age when she started a neighborhood pet sitting business. As she grew so did her interest in getting more involved in working with the animal rescue cause. No matter the type of animal cats, dogs, hybrid wolves, pigs, horses, birds, snakes, chinchillas,lizards, etc she has a heart to meet the physical, social and emotional needs of the pets in her care. She is dedicated to their physical well-being yet wants to be part of making their lives more comfortable and joyful. With 6 years experience pet sitting, over 300 volunteer service hours in animal care at a no kill animal shelter, cleaning enclosures at a hybrid wolf sanctuary, or answering the call to foster 36 kittens to socialize them during the COVID lockdowns prepping them for adoption makes Colene an excellent choice to care for your pet.”

“Kelly is a phenomenal pet sitter! She has done overnights at our house and consistently been present in taking care of our two, completely different, needy cats and senior dog. Highly recommended booking with her!”

“Nikee has watched our dog and cat on several occasions. You can tell she really loves our animals and cares for them as they are her own! She also takes great care of our home and leaves it cleaner than I left it. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Amanda is such a great animal person. Her drive and compassion for animals always inspires me. She cares for dogs and cats as if they were her own. She has had dogs and cats around her growing up and plays with them very well. Always wanting to take the dogs on walks and is very responsible when it comes to taking care of them.”

“Susan V is a fantastic and responsive pet caregiver! She’s been my go-to for years for everything from letting my dog out when I work late to overnight stays and even taking my dog to the vet for me. She’s caring and loves animals. Highly recommend!”

“Gabriella loves my dog just as much as she loves her own family dog. I can say she is great with animals and she is very trustworthy.”

“Sophie was an amazing sitter for Zella! She was very quick to respond to a last minute request for the next morning. Upon arrival, I got a tour of the house as well as got to see Zella interact with a few of her animals. I received updates throughout the day and a very exhausted puppy at pick up! I would definitely recommend Sophie as a sitter!”

About: Pets have a large closed backyard. Steps away from dog park. I’m good at training and teaching new tricks. I have a dog for them to play with as well. I am not working at this point. I am retired and would love to make sure your pet has a safe place to spend their day or night. Again, my backyard is fenced in. We can go to the dog park steps from my house. I’d like for you to come to my house or me to your house to make sure we all get along!
