“I can’t say enough about how amazing of a time Lucy had when she was with Kristopher and the family. And we were at ease knowing she was in great hands being treated so well. This family is definitely animal people and really seem to “get” dogs (and their humans). We had been looking and praying for a perfect setup for Lucy for when we go out of town and I’m thrilled that we found it. I love that they have other friendly dogs they own and watch, they have such a wonderful setup to keep everyone happy. I literally don’t think Lucy missed us one time which makes us happy:) she gets to have as much fun as we are - making new friends, having adventures and was well loved and cared for. We are already booked for our next trips.”

“This is our first time using daycare, and Emily made the whole experience so comforting. She was welcoming, kind, and truly wonderful with our dog. We felt completely at ease and confident that our dog was in good care!”
“Pocket absolutely loved his first visit at Kristopher's. Our 6 year old Bernedoodle had a blast running around and hanging with a new bestie he just met. Kristopher's update during the day was reassuring and extremely encouraging. Leaving Pocket with a none family member is a new experience for us. So grateful for Kristopher and the gang. Now we can look forward to taking that long vacation in a few weeks. Pocket will be spoiled at Kristopher's veritable doggie resort!!!”
About: Denim Sheperd Dog Care is looking to provide you with excellent dog services at an affordable price. With a huge backyard for running and indoor dog spaces for play, your dog is guaranteed to have a great time! We are a house of dog lovers plus 3 pups of our own, with 2 cousin pups staying with us! Our pack leader Austin has been an amateur mush dog trainer for two years with plans to compete in 2026. He is great with dogs of all sizes and has a heart for all breeds. What got him into dog training for others was E-collar training 2 of our dogs himself after having our husky trained professionally. This gave us the freedom to adventure with our pups the way we longed to. We have been doing basic grooming for our labradoodle for 3 years, nail trimming all of our dogs' nails for 5 years, and bathing them for nearly 7 so your dogs will be in loving hands if they are in need of some pampering! I'm currently a full-time at home parent and dog dad. My schedule is flexible with advance notice, but for our daily schedule I do biking with my husky, playtime in the back yard, and the pups nap or have hangout time in the dog den! I have a garage for grooming and introductions, then two gates used to separate the dog areas from the rest of the house. Within the dog area is a finished basement and den if dogs need to be separated. At this time, I have 2 crates of different sizes for use if needed or desired. The backyard is fully fenced and great for runners to get out excess energy.
“Maggie was incredibly accommodating and patient with me and last minute request. My husky loved playing with her Luna, and I love the idea of her being in a home instead of a concrete kennel. I also liked that her sons gave my pets attention while they were there. 100% would recommend Maggie to anyone!”
“SHERRI IS AMAZING! She took my booking last minute and was SO attentive! She has a lovely dog Goro loved playing with and a fenced in yard but she also gave him walks which I thought was so amazing. 10/10 best Rovers experience I’ve had :)”
About: Hi there! We're Sandy & Brad (& 16yo daughter, Clara) from Snowy River Farm in Freeport, MI. Our family has provided trusted pet & farm sitting service in the Kent, Barry & Ionia County areas for 6+ years. We've always had animals around whether it be dogs, cats, chickens, or sheep! We are a homeschooling family and we also work from home. Someone is almost always here! We're available to board dogs anytime we're not on vacation ourselves! We promise to treat your pet like family here at Snowy River Farm! Your pet will have the lower walkout level of the home to themselves. Brad works from home on that same level and we are all around very often. Our own small dogs will stay on a separate floor and not co-mingle your pet (unless specifically agreed by both parties). We can crate your dog(s) if that's your preference. Otherwise, a comfy chair with a blankie is just fine! ;-) *We prefer to do meet & greets first for everyone's benefit. Each dog we care for gets patient, loving, one-on-one attention tailored just for them. We’ll keep you connected with daily photo updates and little stories from their stay. If you want a sitter who treats your dog like family—offering room to roam, a peaceful farm setting, and plenty of cuddles—we’d love to welcome them into our home.

I have an electrical fence so my dogs can run around, and I also take them on long walks. I make sure to stick to there eating routine to make sure they are happy and healthy.
“Ashley is super friendly and made us feel very safe leaving our puppy in her care. Her huskies are patient play partners and helped our pup start to learn some manners around adult dogs. I wasn’t ever worried she’d push them too far. Ashley was very flexible and we would happily book with her again when the need arises.”
“Puppy is home after his stay, and is happy, clean and very tired! Sitters are extremely responsive and accommodating, will definitely trust them with my boy again!”
“Amy did a great job with my June Bug and I love the pictures and wrap up that I got. This was our first time working with Amy and I think we found our new caregiver for June Bug. I highly recommend and we will book with her again. Also, her little Mia is the sweetest girl ❤️.”

About: Pet sitting isn’t just a job for me—it’s my heart. I’m a deeply compassionate, reliable sitter who treats every pet as if they were my own. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities, with a special gift for anxious, shy, and senior pets who need extra patience and reassurance. I’m currently enrolled in animal behavior coursework, which helps me read body language, respect boundaries, and create a calm, stress-free environment for every animal in my care. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers quiet companionship, I meet them exactly where they are. I’m attentive to routines, medications, feeding instructions, and subtle changes in behavior—and I communicate clearly so you always feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs of many different breeds and sizes. Though I had a change in careers, I was studying animal-assisted therapy while working on my MSW and still plan to do some type of therapy-dog volunteering after I retire from working. On days that I am not busy with my 4 kiddos, I’m working on becoming a bookkeeper. Dog walking or check-ins sound like a nice break from studying! I will of course come prepared by reading any notes you have. Most dogs seem to know I’m a dog-lover, but I always approach calm and steady while I get to know a new dog.
