Pet care experience
11 Acres of Outdoor Fun!
First and foremost, your pet’s safety is our top priority. We’re fully insured through Pet Care Insurance, one of the leading pet sitter insurance providers in the United States. This means your dog is protected while in our care, giving you complete peace of mind. We believe every sitter should be properly insured, and we’re proud to meet that standard. We’re lifelong animal lovers who believe pets aren’t just animals; they’re family. My wife and I both grew up on farms where dogs were part of everyday life. Today, we’ve created our own animal oasis on 11 peaceful acres in Ada. Our property is home to two friendly dogs, two horses, two goats, and 17 chickens. It’s a calm, safe, and spacious environment with both fenced and open areas for running, sniffing, and exploring. It’s the perfect retreat for dogs who enjoy freedom and fresh air. We work from home and live a pet-focused lifestyle. I run a business from my home office, and our kids are at home learners , so your dog will never be left alone. Whether your pup is playful or shy, high-energy or laid back, we adapt to meet their needs. Every dog in our care receives patient, loving, and personalized attention. You’ll get daily photo updates and stories from their stay, so you always feel connected. If you’re looking for a sitter who treats your dog like one of their own, with space to roam, a peaceful setting, and plenty of snuggles, we’d be honored to welcome them into our family.

Ratings and reviews
Once again, Kristopher and Lisas provided excellent care for my two pups. I love the atmosphere and attention that the dogs are shown while I'm away. Communication is always great and they are happy when I come home. It's obvious that they love what they do! And it helps me so much to know that the dogs are being loved on when I'm gone.
Very responsive and accommodating. Received pics of him enjoying his doggy Vacay. Will definitely call again.
Poppy had a wonderful time:) Came home happy and also tired:) Poppy will be visiting again:)
Excellence in dog care. Loves my pup
I will always chose to use them when in Grand Rapids area. They are great - put my mind at ease and I can tell are genuine dog lovers (which I especially love). Always sends pictures and my dog comes home happy. I highly recommend!!
Our bernedoodle had a wonderful time boarding with Lisa and Kristopher. It was just the right combination of indoor / outdoor time and interaction with playmates.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We know how much your dog means to you, and we take that responsibility seriously. Every dog is unique, and we treat each one with the same patience, kindness, and attention we give our own pets. From the moment they arrive, your dog becomes part of our pack and part of our family. You’ll receive daily updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing. Whether it’s a sunny nap in the grass or a tail wagging walk around the property, we want you to feel connected and confident that your dog is safe, loved, and thriving. Their comfort and safety is our top priority, and we’re here to provide a calm, caring space where they can feel secure, relaxed, and right at home.

A typical day
Our days start early and are full of life. At 7 a.m., we head out to the chicken coop to check for fresh eggs, then over to feed the goats and horses. Lots of outdoor time and lots of activities.
