Doggy Day Care in Heartside, Grand Rapids, MI

“Joshua did a great job with our 4 month old puppy, Tuuli. I was a little nervous leaving her (first time puppy parent) and his updates with photos throughout the day put me at ease. We would happily book him again for daycare. His service is much more personalized and offers a wider variety of hours that other franchises just don’t offer, perfect for us when we have busy evenings and can’t leave our pup home alone (yet!).”

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.

“Renee is great with Chewie and very accommodating. Last night we ran late picking Chewie up and Renee was able to help us out. Very kind of her.”

“Lauren is very friendly and made us feel comfortable right away leaving Daryl in her care for the day. She happily accommodated his needs due to his medication. Daryl made himself right at home and was a happy pup when we picked him up.”

About: I have had large dogs (akitas) since I was a child and have always loved dogs. I own a 6 year old pitbull who loves dogs just as much :) I work full time but spend all my free time with my dog so I'll enjoy your pup too. They will enjoy the fenced in back yard and dog park visits. I have a large home and a fenced in back yard that the dogs can enjoy. My dog always enjoy playing and making new friends I am currently laid off for winter break and am free everyday until the end of January. I am available for all service and will update profile once my break is over. I like to keep the dogs entertained either through playing tug of war, treat training or taking them on leisure walks throughout the neighborhood or parks.

“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!”

About: I've always wanted a dog but only ever had cats. So, I'd walk the neighborhood dogs, dog sit, go to dog parks, you name it! I've even done some minor dog training (no certification, just online and book research) to better help the precious puppers! I now have a part time job so my days are inconsistently available but my nights are free. Available Sundays-Saturdays, just let me know what you need! I will only be able to walk your dogs or dog sit at your home. I live in a house with max pet capacity, so they cannot stay at my place. As for dog walking, I've gotten used to big dogs that pull. Just let me know what training you're using to reinforce good habits. I can happily take them for a short walk if they need a crate break or long walks to sniff like crazy and tire them out. If they get into muddy areas I can clean their paws, but I need to use your hose as I can only carry so many pet wipes with me on walks. If they do not have their shots or flea treatments, I need you to be honest with me. I will be walking other dogs and need to be concerned for them and my pets safety. If they are a puppy without shots I cannot take them to a dog park. I will need to avoid wooded areas if they don't have tick treatments. I also will not allow ANY dogs into my vehicle to prevent possible flea spreading. Meaning any dog parks must be within walking distance of your home, preferably a mile. I want to do what's best for you, your fur baby, and other fur babies.

“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.”

“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.”
