Doggy Day Care in John Ball Park, Grand Rapids, MI

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.

“Josh was amazing with our puppy! Super kind, helpful, and quick to respond and Rover! Nova loved playing with the other dogs there and she was introduced to frisbee! Would highly recommend Josh as he takes the time to let your dog out to play/walk/social with other dogs!”

“Ashley was an incredible sitter! She provided extensive updates and had fantastic communication. Her dogs and Cub got along very well, even enjoying a very long walk together. I absolutely recommend her for your pet sitting needs! I’ll be sure to have Cub return again soon :)”

“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:)”

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.

“Cub had another fantastic play date with his friend Mabel! I know he’s treated well because he gets super excited when we show up to their house! He’ll be looking forward to the next hangout :)”

“Lynn was very accommodating to my last minute request for doggy day care. She understood the differing needs of my two dogs and was very patient and sensitive with my puppies comfort levels in regard to socialization and food allergies. My pups had a great time with their furry friends and came home tuckered out and happy!”

Raina K.

“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!”

Sara A.

“Omg I had so much anxiety leaving him while I had to go to work but Mimi and her pets became quick friends with my pup Frankie. I am so grateful for her watching him while I was gone. Her dog Roxy was so sweet with Frankie too. He already loves goes to her house!”

“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.”

Tay M.

About: What sets me apart. I would say I love animals more than I love humans and I would also say that I have had actually had senior dogs and multiple ages of dogs before until they have passed away. But I love and treat a dog like they are my child cause they are. A pet care fits in my routine by me making time it would probably be after or before I go to my primary job if I am being honest. I would care for your pet like I would care for my pet. I have an open half fenced in yard. They would have to be on a leash yard tie out, and I would provide water.

About: I have 6+ years experience of doggy daycare/boarding industry being a General Manager at a local facility. I would take care of 60+ dogs, senior dogs, puppies, reactive dogs, anxious dogs, noise sensitive dogs, etc. I also have 2 years experience in the vet field as an assistant/receptionist at a vet office and emergency care office. I also have experience with administering medications, cutting nails, & light grooming. I am a stay-at-home mom, so I am home all day including most weekends with my husband, Lucas. From waking up early in the morning to staying up late in the night, I’m always attentive. I have leads and leashes to walk your pet, take them out to the bathroom & even just to play outside! We love going to fields to play ball or just going on nature walks around our neighborhood. This can happen at our house or yours as well! Pets are closely monitored throughout their whole stay with me. I also have the ability to crate your pet during certain parts of the day if you wish, otherwise they will have access to most of our home if they stay here :)

“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.”
