About: Hi, I’m Jacy! I provide reliable, insured dog boarding and daycare in Wyoming, MI and the Grand Rapids area. You'll receive regular daily updates and lots of photos, so you can relax knowing exactly how your dog is doing while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, including puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I treat every dog like family and strive to make their stay feel like a home away from home. For boarding and daycare, dogs must: • Be up to date on vaccinations — proof will be required before bookings are confirmed (Rabies, DHPP, Leptospirosis and Bordetella) • Be friendly with other dogs and cats • Be potty trained • Be comfortable being left alone for up to 2.5 hours (if needed) Flexible scheduling available—message me anytime. I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work early mornings, allowing me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I'm available Tuesday–Saturday after 8am and fully available Sundays and Mondays. Pets in my care receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection during their stay. I provide a safe and loving home where every dog is cared for like family. My goal is to make sure your pup feels comfortable, secure, and happy while you’re away. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, and any special care needs, with safety always as my top priority. You’ll receive daily updates and plenty of photos so you can feel connected and reassured throughout their stay.
“Libby walked right in like she was visiting family and seemed very happy at the end of her visit. I could tell she enjoyed herself. I really appreciated the good care she received from Susan!”

“This was our first experience with River and boy, did we choose wisely! This was a “test” for our pups in preparation for a 2 night stay and it was really good! Jenn meet us at the front door and took the dogs immediately out the back to the yard to aid in our escape. Of course they were happy to see us upon our return but we are confident in our decision to leave them longer with Jenn. We highly recommend her!”

About: I've had one or more dogs in my life since I was 6 years old. I currently have a senior red heeler that I rescued 8 years ago. Not only have I grown up taking care of my own dogs, as an adult I dog sit quite regularly for friends. I do work from home, which affords me the opportunity to take breaks to interact with and toilet my heeler and any other dog we have visiting, on their schedules. I work from home, so Monday thru Friday, I rarely leave my home, except to take the dog for walks. I may go away in the evenings, during the week, for a couple hours, but that's rare. I do tend to be more active on the weekends, doing my grocery shopping and running other errands, as well church on Sundays, and an occasional brunch. I do have a fenced in back yard as well as a senior red heeler (as stated earlier). My heeler doesn't really pay much attention to other dogs, and seems to prefer the company of humans. That being said, he gets along great with other dogs.
“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.”

“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!”

“Ashley is very good with my dog. I love the home environment for my pet. Communication with Ashley is great. My pet seems to be very happy with Ashley”

“Shelby was WONDERFUL with Wren & Clover. Patient, flexible and fun! They had happy faces when I picked them up at the end of the day and Shelby provided photo updates for me so I could see how comfortable and happy they were at her house. I was moving that day, which is already so stressful and it took a huge weight off my mind to know my babies were being tended to with such sincere care. I highly recommend Shelby and her sweetie dog, Soma.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life within my own family as well as being trusted to watch over friends and family pets as well. This includes dogs of all sizes, medical needs, senior care, etc. I am able to be home to give your pet the attention and frequent potty breaks they may need and can provide frequent updates and photos while you’re away. I look forward to connecting! I am currently working from home only part time and would be able to watch over your pet in the home all hours of the day and week. I have a friendly dog at home that gets along great with others. I have a yard and would be able to take your dog out leashed and for walks as it is unfenced at this time. I can definitely crate your dog if needed, let them roam around if that’s what you’re comfortable with, provide medication as needed, etc.

About: I've never gone a day without a dog to care for, and developed a knack for training at a young age. Beyond caring for my own dogs, I've also gladly supported neighbors and friends with theirs. I love animals of all kinds, and will work hard to ensure that yours receive heart-felt care and attention that will leave them feeling happy and comfortable. I'm a student, currently available for the summer to care for your pups, so I have plenty of time to play fetch, go for walks and give them lots of belly scratches. Available for check-ins, sitting and walks morning, afternoon and early evening. I will make sure to care for your pets according to their needs, recognizing that daily routines and habits are essential to ensuring that they're comfortable and at ease. Regular communication is also key, and I will be sure to keep you posted on how they're doing while you're away! Rest assured, I will do my utmost to ensure that your pets are well taken care of, just as I do my own.

“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: For the last 10 years, I’ve taken care of my rescue chiweenie through heart failure in all of her senior dog quirks. Since her passing i have so much love to pour into ur pets! I also have experience watching 2 dogs ( max and Thelma) for one month during a work exchange in Hawaii and a dog named goia for a month in Switzerland! Work looked like: 2 hour walk every morning, feeding, brushing, bathing. Etc. I am currently a server and a yoga teacher. My schedule is very flexible and I have a lot of free time in the mornings. I live in a very walkable area with a large apartment also available to pet sit in your home or available for long hikes or walks
“She said he did wonderful. She took great care in all his needs & wants. Very dependable. Love the pics & communication through the day. Already booked again. Thank you”

“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.”

David was such a pleasure to have as a dog sitter. I could tell at pick up that Roscoe had truly felt comfortable in his home. David provided clear communication and was luckily able to accommodate changes in our schedule. I would highly recommend him to other pet owners.

Daphne gave our puppy,Roux, a fun day full of outings. She took her the dog park, the trails and the beach! Roux also got on very well with Daphne’s dog, Maggie. Roux had such a great time, I had a hard time getting her to leave 😂 Will definitely be booking with Daphne again!

We had a great experience with Remi! She went above and beyond from the very beginning by offering to meet our anxious puppy ahead of time. She kept us updated with photos, which we really appreciated. It was clear our puppy was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and caring sitter!

Joshua was a great sitter for my dog Blu. He was very communicative throughout the day, and responded very quickly whenever I’d reach out. I felt very reassured that Blu was in good hands whenever he was with Joshua. Joshua was also very kind and understanding with last minute changes in my drop off and pickup times. I would absolutely rebook with Joshua and recommend him as a dog sitter.
