Doggy Day Care in Millbrook, Grand Rapids, MI

“Easy and convenient. Joshua took such good care of our puppy while we attended a late night event that most day care services wouldn't be available. Chester was tired out and went right to bed when we got him home, which we appreciate! Will book again.”

“Pippa had blast today with Kyra and the other pups. Photos show her running and enjoying the fenced yard. She seemed happy when I picked her up as well as well cared for. Kyra was very easy to work with and accommodating last minute changes.”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My sister worked at a zoo, so our home was basically a mini-safari—dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and the occasional surprise guest. Growing up around such a wide variety of animals taught me patience, respect, and how to read their personalities. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or a bit of both, I know how to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently a stay at home mom caring for my 6 year old son who is recovering from cancer. This job will allow the flexibility and meet the “out of public” requirement as our family needs to avoid illness while he recovers. Other than a 2-3 hour clinic visit twice a week, I am home and available. I have a fenced in yard back yard and a mostly quiet neighborhood where kids can play in the street safely. I have 2 cats and a rabbit of my own. All 3 are indoor animals with free range of the house. My rabbit has his own little house in our living room that he can safely retreat to when he’s not out for play time. A perfect space for any curious pet visitors we may have as they won’t be able to access him and cause any ruckus. If I am coming to your home, you can expect more than just a quick feed and potty break. Owners leaving can cause anxiety and stress on a pet. I have the time and heart to offer love, playtime, or needed snuggles and comfort your pet might miss while you’re away.

“Chris was great! Got sent multiple pictures and videos and messages throughout the visit about my dog. He was great on being flexible with us and having to adjust times. We got a happy and tired doggy at the end of the day. Would use him again in a heartbeat.”

“Would recommend Gretchen. Received updates and pictures during our dog Nellie's day stay and was flexible with the timing of dropoff/pickup. She has a sweet dog that got along with our's well and Nellie got to walk and explore.”

About: Hello, I would love to care for fur baby, a dog or a bunny. I have cared for dogs since I was in middle school (that's a long time past, lol). Through my mom hood and beyond. Friends, family, neighbors, unknown ones have been very happy with my care. I'm looking to care for potty trained, small-ish sized, gentle, loving dogs. I do walk them 3 times a day, for I don't have a fenced area. I don't have any pets myself and no young kids. Your baby would have my full attention ! I also have experience with in-home bunny care. thank you, Deb I am retired so I can spoil your bunny or dog all day long. I have no children at home, so they'll get my full attention. I have no pets and truly miss one to love. I can care for your dog or bunny in my home, and possibly at your home. As long as pet is potty trained no need for a cage if not desired. I am one that loves to care for people and pets.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and started caring for them on my own when I was 10. I’m now 30 and have lots of experience with both dogs and cats, as well as some exotic pets. I currently have one dog and one cat who I adore. I’m comfortable giving medications since my own cat takes daily pills for a chronic condition, so I understand the importance of gentle, reliable care. I truly love animals and always enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s playtime, walks, or just hanging out. I’m currently working from home and have flexible hours, so I can be pretty flexible about when I’m available during the weeks! I’m usually busy on weekends but I don’t mind a weekend request. If I’m available I will be there! At home I have backyard space at my townhouse where I can take my dog/other dogs out to use the bathroom! When I’m on my lunch break I can take dogs for walks around the block to get some exercise in for both myself and any dogs I’m watching 😊 When I go to clients homes I am happy to play with the pets, spend some time with them, and take them on a fun walk to burn off some energy!

“Highly recommend Kris and family! I take my miniature dachshund Stuart here weekly guy. Stuart absolutely adores them and they always take the best care of him! Super responsive and flexible as well.”

“Daniel is a natural with dogs. Both of our dogs went to him immediately and couldn’t wait to go inside. They are not always like that with new people. Daniel kept me updated with a few photos and texts throughout the day. Will definitely use Daniel again.”

About: Now offering "budget" visits! Sometimes your cat just needs a litter box refresh and food/water check or medication and doesn't want to interact with a sitter. I get it--one of my cats is like that! Depending on your location, I'm happy to offer a "budget" visit where the necessities will be addressed but in a shorter timeframe. 10 min for $10 or $12 for 15 min visit. Standard cat drop-in visits are $20 for 30 min. To book a budget visit, please book visits as a "regular" visit, and depending on your location and needs, I will approve and adjust your rate accordingly. About Me I've grown up with cats and currently have two senior cats, and our second puppy since December 2023. Rover is my way of helping my kids with an entrepreneurial adventure, especially during the summer. I do some visits solo (or if you request), otherwise I usually have kids with me. They are learning a lot about customer service, pet care, and money in the process. C A T S : Able to host overnight at $35/night. I can give medications including insulin shots, brush teeth, or brush your cat daily or as needed. Litter boxes, beds/perches and water provided. Please provide food your cat thrives on best for their stay. For drop-in cat visits, I will feed whatever food you provide for your cat--wet, raw, kibble, and/or exact portions as needed. Litter boxes will get a thorough sift, and water will be changed. I will do a quick barf/hairball scan of pet zone as so you don't have to come home to unexpected messes. D O G S: Walks can be 30, 45, or 60 minute routes. D R O P - I N V I S I T S : I will let your dog get some fresh air, food, and playtime and petted/brushed. I will also check area dog is staying while you are out for any mischief and messes and clean up as necessary. B O A R D I N G : We are not boarding dogs at this time unless your dog is on our "VIP" dog list. :-) We are able to do drop-in visits and dog walks year round and potentially board based on meet and greet assessment. We can board cats year round. My kids have learned to respect animals and see them as individuals with their own preferences and personalities. For the safety of all in my keep, I only board/daycare animals from one household at a time. All guests are kept in a separate area of the house from my pets.

“Maeve loved her day with Alexandra! We will be booking again. I felt very comfortable with them.”

“Wow, we are so pleased with Mollys care by Amber. We are visiting Michigan and had family obligations that were not dog friendly. Amber was flexible and delightful. Thank you for everything!!!”

“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!”
