Doggy Day Care in Garfield Park, Grand Rapids, MI

“Winston comes home from Renee’s house happy and sleepy. Her home and yard are great for a lower-energy dog. She also made sure to update me on his first day, which helped my peace of mind!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Josh is absolutely amazing! He has taken care of our dog, Cinder Block, multiple times now, and every single time has been flawless. Cinder gets SO excited the moment we even pull onto Josh’s street, he practically loses his mind with joy! That alone tells us everything we need to know. Josh is incredibly attentive, caring, and makes sure all the dogs in his care are not only safe but also having the time of their lives. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommnded!”

“Lindsay is wonderful! She helped organize a meet and greet with our pups so I felt more than comfortable leaving Kirk. Her communication is above and beyond. Kirk came home tired and that is exactly what we needed :)”

Jessica S.

“I am so thankful because Rufus is excited when we pull up. I get so many pictures and videos and I never worry! I hope Rufus can continue to stay with him.”

“I am so happy I found Pam here in Grand Rapids. I just moved here and needed to get my little guy set up with a doggie sitter. Pam has been wonderful letting Charlie come for two short visits to get comfortable before he stays for a week while I travel for work. Pam sent me regular updates on how Charlie was doing throughout his stays. Charlie has fit right in with the rest of her crew and came home happy has a clam after both stays. I have no doubt that he will be perfectly safe and happy while I am out of town!”

Katelyn M.

“Again an amazing experience. Franklin loves being with his friends Roxy and Paco. At the end of the day he’s pooped and is fast asleep. Highly recommend working with Mimi!”

Armin A.

“Marina was wonderful! I had a complicated schedule and she worked with me to figure out the best options for me and my dog. My dog loved her and was so excited to go back and see her!”

Lena B.

“Lynn was an amazing sitter for Archie! We are so fortunate to have found her. She was incredibly flexible with our meet and greet and early dropoff hour. Archie didn’t want to leave her place and was thoroughly exhausted when he got home!”

Sara S.

“Melissa was absolutely awesome taking care of our dog, Finn! She’s so friendly and Finn felt comfortable with her right away. I felt good leaving him in her hands. I definitely recommend her if you need some doggie daycare!”

Christine M.

“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!”

About: Now offering "budget" visits! Sometimes your cat just needs a litter box refresh and food/water check or medication and doesn't want to interact with a sitter. I get it--one of my cats is like that! Depending on your location, I'm happy to offer a "budget" visit where the necessities will be addressed but in a shorter timeframe. 10 min for $10 or $12 for 15 min visit. Standard cat drop-in visits are $20 for 30 min. To book a budget visit, please book visits as a "regular" visit, and depending on your location and needs, I will approve and adjust your rate accordingly. About Me I've grown up with cats and currently have two senior cats, and our second puppy since December 2023. Rover is my way of helping my kids with an entrepreneurial adventure, especially during the summer. I do some visits solo (or if you request), otherwise I usually have kids with me. They are learning a lot about customer service, pet care, and money in the process. C A T S : Able to host overnight at $35/night. I can give medications including insulin shots, brush teeth, or brush your cat daily or as needed. Litter boxes, beds/perches and water provided. Please provide food your cat thrives on best for their stay. For drop-in cat visits, I will feed whatever food you provide for your cat--wet, raw, kibble, and/or exact portions as needed. Litter boxes will get a thorough sift, and water will be changed. I will do a quick barf/hairball scan of pet zone as so you don't have to come home to unexpected messes. D O G S: Walks can be 30, 45, or 60 minute routes. D R O P - I N V I S I T S : I will let your dog get some fresh air, food, and playtime and petted/brushed. I will also check area dog is staying while you are out for any mischief and messes and clean up as necessary. B O A R D I N G : We are not boarding dogs at this time unless your dog is on our "VIP" dog list. :-) We are able to do drop-in visits and dog walks year round and potentially board based on meet and greet assessment. We can board cats year round. My kids have learned to respect animals and see them as individuals with their own preferences and personalities. For the safety of all in my keep, I only board/daycare animals from one household at a time. All guests are kept in a separate area of the house from my pets.

“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.”

About: Hello, I would love to care for fur baby, a dog or a bunny. I have cared for dogs since I was in middle school (that's a long time past, lol). Through my mom hood and beyond. Friends, family, neighbors, unknown ones have been very happy with my care. I'm looking to care for potty trained, small-ish sized, gentle, loving dogs. I do walk them 3 times a day, for I don't have a fenced area. I don't have any pets myself and no young kids. Your baby would have my full attention ! I also have experience with in-home bunny care. thank you, Deb I am retired so I can spoil your bunny or dog all day long. I have no children at home, so they'll get my full attention. I have no pets and truly miss one to love. I can care for your dog or bunny in my home, and possibly at your home. As long as pet is potty trained no need for a cage if not desired. I am one that loves to care for people and pets.

“Would recommend Gretchen. Received updates and pictures during our dog Nellie's day stay and was flexible with the timing of dropoff/pickup. She has a sweet dog that got along with our's well and Nellie got to walk and explore.”

About: I'm Amanda, 27, a yoga instructor and a full time animal lover! Growing up, my sister and I used to save strays and find them better homes, sometimes we were lucky enough to convince our parents to keep them. I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up because our family is full of nurturing individuals. I have babysat and taken care of relatives and friends animals throughout the years and know that each animal needs a different type of care considering each one has a special characteristics that define them. I make sure they use the bathroom or are taken out every two-three hours. Walks are a must, knowing animals have a lot of energy that needs to be released. I have a mini Australian Shepherd, Ezra who is a 3 years old, and love other animals and cats. Speaking of cats, I have my 6 year old cat Veda as well. I currently work part time, so I will have a ton of time to play with the pups and/or cats. I have three dogs of my own that it’s a habit by now! I have a yard (fenced) and one other fur baby to keep them company! Fed twice a day and let out four times a day with surrounding nature for some hikes and walks to get the energy out!

“Great sitter for my pup! Kept me updated, work on tricks with him, and played brain games! Definitely bringing him back again!”

“Can’t say enough good things! Brittany was so easy to work with, kept us informed, and took GREAT care of Milo. We will be repeat customers as the need arises!!”
