Doggy Day Care in Baxter, Grand Rapids, MI

“Josh was great. It was our first time leaving our pup with someone that was not family. He sent pictures and kept us up to speed on how he was doing. Felt very comfortable with Josh taking care of our pup and would definitely book again.”

“We had a family emergency which resulted in a completely different person coming to pick up Tanner. Renne was flexible and understanding, which we were so thankful for.”

About: Hi I am Melvin, and I live with my partner Sean. I have loved dogs my entire life and wanted to dedicate my career to caring for them when they and their pet parents are in need. I have 5 years of caring experiences, and it has been a huge blessing in my life. My 3 dogs are all super loveable and like making new friends! With this service, I want to treat every dog like they are at home. Every dog is given a chance here, and so far my dogs have made over 250 friends! Our pet care routine that we are currently doing with our dogs and the dogs I watch occasionally has been ingrained upon on both of our schedules. Rarely does my partner and I skip or alter the pet care routine. We have a pretty tall fenced in backyard. Our three dogs love to play and get zoomies out there. We always introduce dogs slowly to the group with a meet and greet first, and dogs that need that special attention will always get it, and then some.

“Remi did a great job caring for Duckie! She had lots of updates and pictures. She took him on a long walk and gave him lots of snuggles. I will definitely be booking with Remi again:)”

“Marina came to my rescue after a last minute change of plans! I’ve worked with Marina before, and my dog absolutely loves her. It gives me such peace of mind to know that my dog will be well cared for while I’m at work.”

“Donna was very loving with my dog. She let her cuddle on the chair and in bed with her. Donna was flexible in allowing her to come early and open to varied pick-up times. Daisy walked in and made herself comfortable in Donna’s place after the first day. It was a great first-time experience. I will definitely use her again if I’m ever back in the area.”

“Ashley and I met ahead of time so that we could see if it was a good fit. Ashley is friendly and knowledgeable about animals. My dog was very comfortable with her. She even sent me some photos. I will be using her services again.”

“Megan did a great job watching our pup. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. Harley was EXHAUSTED when we left, which is always a great sign. Will definitely use her again.”

Kalynn S.

“Susan has been a fabulous fit for our pups and our needs. She is a true animal lover, has a big fenced back yard where the dogs can frequently run and play, and she treats each dog like her own. Having my pups stay with Susan is like having them experience a trip to a “grandma’s” house, of sorts. They definitely get loved on!”

“This was the first time using someone to watch my 5 mo old puppy. So glad to have found Linda! Grace was well taken care of and came home exhausted after a day of play.”

About: Yes, that’s a goat in my pic. Made you look! I grew up with dogs of various breeds, and so have my kids (7 and 9yo). We haven't had a pet for over a year and are ready to share our home, care, and attention with yours. No dog is the same. So, tell me about yours! II'll tailor my care to meet their unique needs and quirks. Are they down to play fetch? Need quiet, calm? Love a morning walk? Spooked by blowing leaves? I'm happy to accommodate all types- even the goat type. I've raised puppies and cared for dogs through their last days. We love taking dogs on walks, playing in the backyard or snuggling. We often watch our neighbors' dogs when they're gone for long days or traveling, but if I was watching yours I wouldn't commit to watching any others. I'm currently working from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I have my kids every/other weekend. So, when they're not with me, I'd consider house-sitting. Otherwise, your pup is welcome in my home. I've got a fenced yard, and plenty of kind neighbors who look out for each other. We live on a very dog-friendly block a short walk away from various parks. I would not leave your dog in the backyard, unattended until repeat visits where I've gotten to observe their behavior over time. Daily walks guaranteed, unless that doesn't work for yours. Would love a reason to move my body more! My kids (7,9) are in school all day, so it would just be me and your pup most of the time. My kids are well trained on reading dog cues and can discern when to give space/ how to play depending on temperment. That said, of course they'd never be left unattended with your pooch.

About: My doggie is 2 years old now, I’ve had cats before him. I live in a small apartment so instead of getting another dog I figured I could dog sit for a while to see if that’s something I’d like to do! We love going to the park, we go for a couple walks a day too! Every morning we go to the dog park to let out some energy since I live in a small apartment. We then go for walks throughout the day or even the park again! I’m thinking of getting another dog so he has a brother and friend but I figured this would be the best way to find out if that’s something I’d like to do! I have a ring camera on the inside of my studio apartment so if need be I’m always willing to keep that on while I am gone or even at home hanging out if that makes you more comfortable! I know it would for me

“Ki was flexible with my work schedule needs and was very communicative in sending pictures and updates of Benji. She brought him on plenty of walks too. Her excitement to meet Benji reassured me that he was in good hands.”

“Daniel was great, we had to leave our new puppy for a week, and he did a wonderful job taking care of her. He also sent us many cute pictures. I would highly recommend him if you need daycare for you pup! :)”

About: I am a retired Special Education Teacher. Your pet will get spoiled in my home or yours! I am a compassionate, caring person. I have been providing care for dogs for 4 years. I have plenty of references to back up any recommendation that you made need. My last pet was a puppy named Bella that I provided care for. I watch her 30 hours a week and helped potty train her. I loved her as if she was my own. I was Gramma Lisa to her and we formed a special bond which I do with all the pets I watch. I have had dogs in my life since I was young. I tell my friends that I will know I am heaven when I see my past dogs around me.

“Krysten was very easy to communicate with and made us feel confident leaving Daryl in her care. He seemed to have made himself at home and enjoyed his visit. We would certainly book with Krysten again.”
