Dog Boarding In Northside Kalamazoo, MI

“Shelby was great! Her home was clean and her yard was huge and fully fenced. Her dogs were friendly. We got lots of photos and a video during our dog’s stay. She came home happy and exhausted!”

“Adaora was amazing with my dog. She always sent photos and kept me updated on how he was doing. My dog and her dog played a lot which I was really happy about since my dog usually doesn’t have a friend to play with at home. Adoara is also very flexible with her schedule, she agreed to take my dog at a last minute request. I also ended up having to request an extra night stay for my dog since I ended up being delayed to pick him up, which she was super understanding about. I would definitely recommend Adoara.”

“I wasn't sure how Pivo would handle being with other dogs, but was having a hard time finding a sitter who didn't have dogs who would be available for the dates I needed. I approached Trina even though she has her own dogs. She encouraged us to do a meet-and-greet in her home, and the dogs got along great right from the get-go! Trina and her family clearly love dogs, and made Pivo a member of the household. Trina learned the hard way what a bed hog Pivo is LOL! He came home totally relaxed and happy. Trina's a keeper, very easygoing, accommodating, and kind! Thank you, Trina!”

“Melissa was absolutely fabulous!!! I am definitely the definition of helicopter mom when it comes to my dog. Melissa was amazing she allowed us to come by before the booking to meet her dogs and her. Then once the trip began she was fantastic constantly updating and sending me photos of my boy…heath is a covid puppy and VERY bonded to me and it was soo amazing to see him happy and comfortable while i was gone!! Thank you Melissa for being so wonderful!! Heath cant wait for the next trip so he can come back and play!”

“I think Murray enjoyed staying with Julie and Joe. We loved getting picture updates while we were away. Definitely will be booking with Julie again!! Thanks for taking great care of our Murray!!”

“Jordan was so friendly and good to our girl. She kept me updated and was understanding when we ran late picking up Phoebe. Phoebe seemed to really enjoy her time at Jordan’s. We would definitely recommend and ask her in the future needs.”

“Rebecca was amazing! I have never left my dog with someone she didn’t know before, so I was very nervous about leaving her. Rebecca sent regular updates to help ease my worries. My dog was definitely happy and loved during her stay with Rebecca and her family. My dog had frequent walks and there was a fenced in backyard for her to run. Rebecca was quick with all communication. I will definitely use Rebecca again for any future needs.”

“I’ve never seen Ghost so happy about a babysitter that he dragged me back inside their home to say goodbye to his new friends one more time! 🥹 I was beyond thrilled! I had to call and tell my entire family!”

“Kristen was great!! I knew my dog was in good hands and she was very communicative. He got lots of walks and attention. Will be using her again!”

“Becky was great with my dog, I will recommend her to anyone who is looking to board their pet. I will definitely go back to Becky in future!!”

“She and her family are the absolute best! She was a lifesaver when we needed a last-minute rover, and she and her family really treated our pup like one of their own for the holidays, going above and beyond to make him feel at home and sending adorable pictures and videos the whole stay. Gus found some new best friends and we found a new go-to sitter!”

“Thank you for taking such good care of Junebug! She was so relaxed when she got home today! I highly recommend Elliott and Jenna J. to care for your dog! We will definitely be using them again!”

“Sarah was so kind and welcoming to our rambunctious boy! She sent videos and/or photos daily, which our daughter absolutely loved! You could tell he was enjoying his stay and was getting so much love and attention! Sarah really is the best and absolutely recommend booking with her!”

“Our dog Rollo loves staying with Drew! Every time we bring him to Drew’s, Rollo perks up and runs immediately to his door. We always have peace of mind knowing our husky is in Drew’s care.”

“Chris has taken great care of my dog, Louie, many times. Chris has a kind heart and is very empathetic and attentive towards Louie. When I come back from a trip, it is clear Louie has been well-loved, walked, played with, spent time with, etc. Louie is always happy to see Chris and looks for more affection from him, as Chris takes such great care of him while I am away. I highly recommend Chris as the dogsitter of your choice!”

“Jamie was great with our high energy needs dog, Maggie. She’s a border collie/blue heeler mix that is a good dog, but only if she’s exercised her body (and mind) enough. We loved having picture updates over our long weekend away. And by the second night I knew everything would be okay and that Jamie had the compassion and care needed for a dog like Maggie. We’re SO happy to have found Jamie and will definitely be requesting her services again!!”

“Rebekah was so sweet with Milo, taking such good care of him! Great updates & photos! Will definitely be rebooking!”

“Our dogs had a great time. They came home exhausted from all the play and attention! We have never used a boarding service nor sitter before and our experience was great. Kimberly messaged us daily with pictures and updates. Will request to book again!”

“Holly took great care of my cats while I was away and allowed me to extend my stay when I needed to be out of town longer. I'm sure that I will use her again!”

About: I have 10 years of vet tech experience. I have owned dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and horses. I have 3 years of service dog training experience and am an ADI certified puppy caretaker. I am knowledgeable on home care, medical care, and behavioral/training aspects. I am able to administer medication‘s, and ensure your pet is well taken care of. Additionally, if I notice anything medically concerning, I can let you know if a vet appointment is recommended. Boarding is weekends only currently, unless a holiday then I could potentially do weekdays. Home visits and walks I can do weekdays afternoons and evenings, and anytime on weekends. I have a fenced in dog park at my apartment complex, I do not allow dog to play with other dogs unless specifically requested by owner - this is a safety precaution since dog parks can be very stressful for dogs. My apartment is clean and cozy. It is not super big but I will take dogs on walks to accommodate.
