Dog Boarding Mcbrides

“Matt was a very enjoyable person to work with, he accommodated some of our unexpected need for changes, get along extremely well with our dog, and that was apparent when I came to pick her up. We are very pleased with Matt and will certainly work with him again.”

“Emily took great care of my Dobermann for 8 days. She took him on walks every day and he was able to socialize with her dogs and kids. She was very attentive with his feeding and diet concerns and sent me daily pictures. He seemed very happy in her care.”

Bogdan N.

“Colby had a great stay at your house! She can be skiddish, but not this time. She ate, took over your chair and had fun exploring the fenced in yard. Thank you so much for treating her like family!”

Stacey T.

“Sabrina was great with our puppy, Winston. It was our first time boarding any of our pets but she eased our minds with a lot of updates and photos/videos. He seemed to have loved his time there and playing with other furry friends.”

Linsey P.

“Murdock had an absolute blast with Wendy and the boys! He has slept like a rock since he has returned home. He is looking forward to his next stay!”

April W.

“Susan was a great sitter for our boy Loki!! Sent us updates and the atmosphere at her home helped Loki on his first stay away from his home. Will use her services again!!! Highly recommend!!!!”

Kim P.

“Edward was awesome according to Rocky! LOL. Seriously though, it was a smooth process to meet & greet Ed and then to have him take care of our "baby". As first time users of Rover.com, our reluctance to get a sitter was over after talking to Ed. He was very accommodating in answering any questions we had. Ed was very friendly and nice to us and Rocky. His fenced backyard also added to our comfort in knowing Rocky would be safe! Definitely a Keeper!!”

Phyllis S.

“This was our second time using Mariah & Max and they were once again awesome! Super communicative, pictures sent daily, and our dogs came home tired and smiling! We highly recommend using Mariah & Max.”

Zac T.

“Couldn’t recommend a better person to watch your dog. My dog played well and was well taken care of. I was provided with many updates and pictures.”

Cameron W.

“I am SO HAPPY we found Larissa! She is sweet, easy to talk with, and most importantly, amazing with Carini! She loved staying with her for a week. Larissa sent me updates and pictures every day and I could tell how great of a time my girl was having. Safe to say, we'll be doing some daycare days in the future so she can see them again ??”

Alexandra L.

“Iris and her family went above and beyond caring for our puppy! 10/10 Would recommend to anyone looking for excellent care and communication.”

Hunter H.

“We had our pet sitter cancel last minute. My husband discovered Rover.com and found Christina. We were so excited that she was in our neighborhood and had great reviews. I felt comfortable when I met her and the drop off process was easy. She stayed in communication the 3 days, sent pictures and updates. We will definitely be using her services in the future and will recommend her to everyone we know.”

Julie F.

“Jaimee took great care of Fuji! I booked with her for one night super last minute so I was grateful she was able to fit me in. Jaimee was also very flexible with my drop off and pick up time. She sent me an appropriate amount of pictures of Fuji. Fuji was very happy when I brought her home and seemed to have had a great time! Would definitely recommend and book again. Thank you, Jaimee!”

C H.

“Melody is a very sweet young woman who is trying to get established on Rover. She has a fenced-in yard, sent us some pictures and updates. Only problem was that her dog didn’t like our dog.”

Jan B.

“Amy and Mia are great. Both were wonderful hosts for our dog Ellie. She loved her time with them. Amy was very accommodating to Meet & Greet with us on short notice and made us feel at ease. Amy is very personable and we enjoyed talking with her. Ellie felt like she was HOME away from home and got to hang with another furry friend. What fun!! Ellie was walked and well taken care of during her stay. We received updates and photos. We were blessed to have found such a caring sitter for Ellie. Thank you.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have three dogs, all of whom I brought home at eight weeks old and personally raised and trained. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s a lifelong passion. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, from Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls to Alaskan Malamutes and everything in between. Over the years, I have provided pet care for neighbors, friends, colleagues, and clients, and I understand the importance of treating every dog with patience, kindness, and individualized care. While working as a home health care aide, I was often entrusted with caring for my clients’ pets, ensuring they were fed, exercised, and comfortable while their owners received care. I also volunteered as a dog walker with the Humane Society of West Michigan, where I gained experience working with dogs of varying personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding plans and dietary restrictions, and adapting to each dog’s unique routine. I am also certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR, giving pet owners added peace of mind that their companions are in capable hands. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, or simply spending time with someone who genuinely loves dogs, I am committed to providing safe, dependable, and compassionate care while you’re away. As a devoted dog owner of three, caring for animals is an integral part of my daily life, and I extend that same level of attention, responsibility, and affection to every pet in my care. I am fully comfortable handling all aspects of daily dog care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, enrichment, and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to be home for most of the day throughout the week, as well as on weekends, providing consistent supervision and companionship. I also have the option to work from home when additional attention or frequent potty breaks are needed. In my household, pets are rarely left alone for extended periods. On typical days when I am away from home, my dogs are alone no longer than 5–6 hours. In many cases, my boyfriend may be home when I am not, and when both of us are working, we are generally away for no more than 4–5 hours at a time. If both of us are expected to be away for longer than two hours during a pet’s care period, I communicate this in advance to ensure transparency and appropriate planning. I maintain a consistent but flexible routine that prioritizes feeding, hydration, exercise, and enrichment. Dogs always have access to fresh water and are fed twice daily (or as often as your individual dog requires). Potty breaks are provided frequently based on each dog’s individual needs and cues; however, I am more than willing to follow a more structured schedule if that is what your pet is accustomed to. I am also experienced with administering medications, including monthly heartworm and flea prevention, and take great care to ensure all medications are given accurately and on time. While my household follows a generally relaxed routine, I understand that many pets thrive on structure. I am fully comfortable adhering to detailed instructions and incorporating established routines into my daily care. During the days I am available according to my Rover schedule, I am home for the majority of the day. Any brief absences are typically limited to short appointments, during which my boyfriend may assist with supervision, or pets will be safely confined if appropriate. Above all, I prioritize safety, supervision, and communication. Your pet will never be left without attentive care. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure consistent supervision, engagement, and affection so that every animal feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their time with me. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I share my home with three friendly dogs, each with their own unique personality: an energetic and affectionate Boston Terrier, a more reserved but sweet Boston Terrier, and a laid-back Chihuahua who enjoys staying close by. They are well-socialized and can provide companionship for visiting dogs when appropriate. My home is set up to accommodate a variety of needs and routines. I have three individual crates with comfortable bedding available for dogs who are crate trained or require confinement, and you are always welcome to bring your own crate if it helps your pet feel more at home. While my own dogs enjoy free access to the house and are allowed on the furniture, I am happy to follow your pet’s established rules and routines, including using gates or designated areas if needed. Although my yard is not physically fenced, safety is always a top priority. My dogs are never outdoors unsupervised, and the same standard of care applies to every pet I watch. I have a large, open yard that provides plenty of space for exercise, and I regularly walk dogs on a leash around the property and in the neighborhood. If your dog is most comfortable on a leash or tie-out while outside, I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences. All of my dogs are current on their vaccinations and receive routine veterinary care. I pay close attention to changes in their health, behavior, and overall well-being, and I bring that same level of attentiveness to every pet in my care. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat both your home and your companion with the utmost respect. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, training, household rules, and daily routines to ensure your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you are away. At bedtime, I am happy to follow whatever sleeping arrangement your pet is accustomed to, whether that means sleeping in a crate, on their own bed, or sharing a room with me. My goal is to maintain their normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable. My boyfriend and I live together, but I will be your pet’s primary caregiver. He may occasionally assist if I need to step away briefly, providing additional supervision and support, but all communication and primary care responsibilities remain with me. For added peace of mind, I am certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR. You can trust that your pet will receive attentive, compassionate, and responsible care throughout their stay.

“Misty was just great with our dogs. She has a great location for allowing them outdoor time. Whatever your dogs require, Misty will try to accommodate you. Our dogs enjoyed their stay and my husband and I were both very pleased she treated them so well.”

About: People’s pets are family, and they should be taken care of accordingly! I’ll give updates during each service so you know your pet is taken care of properly. Drop ins - I’ll sit and play with your animal for the allotted time to make sure they aren’t lonely all day, because who likes that? Will send an update with a picture if you’d like. Walking - will walk down any trail that is close by, take the scenic route. If roads can be avoided they will be. No animals should be near roads as it could be dangerous. Will send pictures with updates of how much your pet is loving their walk. Sitting/Boarding - Finding a pet sitter is stressful, I am here to make it easy. If you would like to board your pet with me I would more than happy to take care of them. We have a dog ourselves and he is the sweetest! Will take special requests as well during the services! I’ll love your pet while you are away. I do work full time in an office 9-5pm. Allowing for plenty of time after work or on the weekends to spend with your pet. We live on a farm with plenty of space for your pet to play and explore under our supervision. We have 2 other dogs that get along great with other dogs and will keep your pet company!

“Taylor was fantastic. Our little princess was well cared for, and we enjoyed the photos that were sent to us each day. This was the longest we were away from our pooch and Taylor made us feel like our girl was at summer camp living her best life. 💙”

“Teton Bear really enjoyed himself during his stay. Christin was great at sending photos and videos. I would highly recommend using Christin to watch your fur baby.”
