Pet Boarding Byron Center

About: I’m 24 and have been around dogs my entire life, so caring for pups has always been a natural part of my life! I have a 5-year-old St. Bernard/Poodle mix named Grover, who is friendly, playful, and gets along well with other dogs. I live in a house with a fully fenced-in yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely play, explore, and get some energy out. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own family—with lots of attention, love, walks, playtime, and of course, plenty of cuddles! 🐶💕 I work a full-time 8–5 job, but I have a flexible hybrid schedule! I work from home Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, so I’m home with your pets for most of the day on those days. I’m typically in the office Tuesday and Friday and am usually gone from around 7:30 AM–5:30 PM. Outside of work hours, I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of attention! For overnight stays, I’m happy to make sure your pets are comfortable and have everything they need while you’re away. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, bedtime routines, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll give them plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their personality and boundaries—whether they’re an energetic pup who loves to play or a couch potato who prefers to cuddle! When pets stay in my home, they’ll have access to a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and lots of love and attention. My dog Grover is friendly and enjoys having other dogs around. When staying in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Our pup, Sugaree, spent a few nights at Ashleigh's while we were at a music festival. Much to our delight when we picked her up, we were told that she had attended Ashleighs pups birthday party. They had pup cakes, pup ice cream, birthday hats, treat bags, two pup pools, a splashpad, and a charcuterie board for pups. Sugaree couldn't have had more fun. We are so grateful to have found Ashleigh on Rover. Thanks Ashleigh!”

“Dan and Vickie took such good care of Coco. I believe they are the best sitters I have ever used. Good communication and lots of pictures. I will definitely use them again and would recommend this couple to whoever is looking for a exceptional dog sitter”

About: I have cared for dogs almost my whole life. I trained my first dog in doggy obedience school - I loved that so much. The dog that I currently have can follow instructions in both English and Chinese! I work in a hybrid situation with a very flexible schedule, so I am quite available. I only need to have a little advance notice so I can work it into my schedule. I will love taking your dog on walks and enjoying some fresh air together! I really value helping dogs get sunshine and exercise in their day.

“Nicole did such an amazing job with our girls. Communication was great. She send tons of pictures to help ease my mind. Her whole family was so good with the girls. I will def use her gain when needed. My girls have a new retreat to go too. They loved it and her family.”

About: I have been around animals for most of my life and have over 50 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Over the years, I’ve owned about nine dogs and currently have an Australian Shepherd and two sugar gliders, so I’m comfortable with both active dogs and animals that need more specialized care. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, patient, and attentive caring for your pets, and I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I'm a retired firefighter who went into nursing after that career but retired from that now, too. I really enjoy the company of dogs and they seem to enjoy me, too. My wife is in and out of the house because she still works full time, so you may or may not meet her. However I am the one who's retired and gets to be home with any fur babies 24/7 so you will be working with me directly. I have a fenced in backyard, a friendly Aussie who likes to play and numerous sized cages if your dog prefers that for sleeping or escape. I take a walk everyday (usually to the park two blocks away) and I would be happy to include your dog on my daily walk. If I come to your house , I'd be happy to walk your dog around your neighborhood , play ball or frisbee in the backyard or work on commands .. I have done all of these in the past.

“Marina did a wonderful job caring for our dog. I feel like extra steps were taken to ensure she was comfortable, eating and sleeping well. Additionally, we received daily updates on the status, activity levels and pictures. We simply could not ask for a better caretaker while we travel.”

“Hannah took such wonderful care of our Lincoln! She was very responsive and sent updates each day. Lincoln seemed happy and relaxed - which speaks volumes. Would definitely recommend Hannah!”

“Gabrielle is very attentive with my dog make sure he is always comfortable and she also communicates with what’s going on with my dog makes me feel like it’s at home away from home”

“We have a 4month old Belgian Malinois and needed a sitter for the night. Rachel took us last minute, with a days notice& took great care of our little guy. We received a few photos, which were absolutely adorable. We saw a big difference between dropping him off at Rachel's and a doggy daycare. We would highly highly recommend her!”

About: I have cared for dogs for the past 15 years ranging from my family's terrier mix to my own dog, to family and friends' dogs. Right now, I’m available all day, every day to help with pet care, including the weekends. If anything comes up in our schedules, I’m happy to coordinate to make sure your pet gets consistent care. I care for pets like my own—attentive, patient, and loving. From meds and meals to walks, runs, and companionship, I keep them safe, comfortable, and happy.

“Highly Recommended! Melanie went above and beyond to make our toy poodle welcomed and comfortable when we boarded him for our trip! I appreciated the daily updates, pictures and even a fun video. Melanie is prompt, reliable and trustworthy!! She treats your dog like her own. When we came back from our trip, Tucker was happy and relaxed. Thank you again for everything!! Sheryl P.”

“Kate was AMAZING! She was quick to communicate the little details, she not only watched our dog Ziggy, but really made him part of her family! When she wasn’t sure on a special treat she asked first which we really appreciated and she sent pictures of our healthy thriving boy!!! We will absolutely book with Kate again- she really goes above and beyond!”

Alixx T.

“She was absolutely wonderful with Winnie!! She had such a good time and sent the cutest pictures throughout the boarding, would definitely book again!”

Edyn L.

“Katrina took great care of Max. We could easily see how comfortable she felt with Katrina and her dogs and she came home a tired pup! Katrina communicated with us throughout our trip to let us know Max was doing well and offered to help and go get additional dog food when she realized Max wasn’t going to have enough to last in our absence. Would definitely use her for dog care again!”

“Wow, what can I say… Jill ( & Sunny :))was amazing with our 4 yr old yellow lab, Callie! She was so loving and all about making a great experience for Callie. Her home was perfect and such a nice setting back near a nice river with a large yard with a fenced in area as well. Our dog could use her doggy door (once she got the hang of it ;) )and go outside to the fenced in yard and play/potty/whatever ….as she needed. Jill was great about taking walks, letting her swim in the river at her property, having playtime and providing constant attention and love. And her dog Sunny is so loving and was a great playmate for Callie. :). Such a reassuring feeling to have her with Jill while we traveled. Knowing she was getting constant attention, love, care, exercise, and play. I will never use a kennel or doggy care center again as long as Jill is available, thanks Jill ! :-)”

“Kathy was amazing with my dog Molly. Molly was there for two weeks and I think she was sad to leave! She got along really well with Kathy's dogs. All this I know because Kathy sent me lots of great pictures - daily! Lastly, when Molly came home she had been brushed and pampered to the fullest. Her coat was shiny and free of shedding hairs. Loved it! Thank you Kathy for taking care of my Molly!”
