Doggy Day Care in Watson

“Great! Have used for longer boarding and day care. Get frequent communication and updates! I have a somewhat difficult puppy and they manage him well!”

“I work from home, but had to travel for an all day training event. Luckily, Kim was able to keep my two Frenchies for the day. She sent so many great photos and updated me on how they were doing throughout the day. They came home happy, exhausted boys and snoozed the night away. Leaving our pups with anyone is such a very stressful event for us as our boys are family. Kim made the process less worrisome for us by sending the pictures, updates and quickly responding to my texts. We will be back! ?”

“Stephanie is great! My dog can be a little shy in new situations, but she was so excited to get dropped off each day and came home tired and happy.”

Emily M.

“She took great care of my puppy , knowing it’s my first time using rover, she sent me lots of picture updates to make me feel assured. Def loved her. So did my dog.”

“I had a last minute trip to Grand Rapids for work and spent time looking for the perfect fit to watch my 7 mo old puppy during the day. Once I came across Anne’s profile, I’d hoped for a good experience and let me tell you, Anne and her family were absolutely amazing! They were super attentive to my pup — taking him for walks, allowing him to play with their animals, and maintaining structure for him by encouraging rest time, and correcting his behavior. Every time I came to pick him up, he was so sad to leave and he was super excited to be back at their house each time I dropped him off! I can’t sing their praises enough, it means the world to me that they helped me in a pinch and that they did an exceptional job! Any time I return to the area, Anne will be my go-to everytime!”

About: I’ve been around animals since I was born. I’ve had a lot of experience with dogs, and I love to be around them. My favorite thing to do is to be with animals. I have my own Siberian Husky that I will need to drop in on occasionally I do work and have a dog of my own. But other then work and doctors appointments I am pretty free other than that. I love all animals and love getting new experiences. I would feed the pets, let them out every few hours. Keep them company, play with them take them for walks, anything that would be needed.

About: I have had dogs and cats in my home for 50 years. I absolutely love pets, and treat them like they are just part of the family! I am retired so I have plenty of time to pet sit. I have always loved pets and would enjoy making sure your fur baby is content and happy. I live on a private road in a rural so traffic is mostly very minimal. However, I do leash walk pets so they are safe.

“I can’t say enough great things about Katherine and her lovely pups/cats! She was incredibly attentive to my pup, communicated clearly and consistently, and truly went above and beyond to care for Percy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter.”

“Alice had so much fun for the day! Came home and slept all night she was so tuckered out. Sent pictures and videos, and was flexible and easy to communicate with.”

“Ellie did a fantastic job watching my pup and was a pleasure to work with! She made sure Ophie’s needs were met and provided a great environment for her to get her energy out. I got plenty of updates during her stay, and she came home relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Ellie’s services!!”

About: I grew up on and farm and I’ve had animals my whole life. I believe animals make the best company. As of right now I only have a grand puppy. I recently lost my mini schnauzer she was 17 so I may be adding a new member to our family soon. I would like to spend sometime with your animals and spoil them. I live inKalamazoo in a pet friendly condo complex with not only an extensive yard but with walking trails near by. I’m very comfortable with opening my home to Your pet and making them feel like they belong. I already have plenty of toys and things to keep them busy. I regularly babysit my grand puppy who is use to having other dogs around. I would really enjoy getting to know you and your pet, hope to accommodate you soon. Thank you Trina

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 30 years. From living with them as a child, to having my furbabies for 14 years and caring for family and friends animals while they were away for work or long trips. I have experience with large dogs, small dogs and everything in between, cats, horses, rats, chinchillas, guinea pigs, fox and even a hedge hog. I’m passionate about cuddling our fur legged friends and since mine passed recently, I desire to assist in care for others’ animals before becoming a dog mom again in the future. I’ll come stay with your puppers and keep your home safe. I’m a seasonal worker at a concert venue and gig performer of circus arts so my summer work has finished for the year. I have great flexibility between dog sitting and my 1-2 twice a week job being a home assistant (where I also dog /homesit for the owner 3-4 times a year.) I’d love to add your animals to my schedule. I do not have a set schedule so let’s chat about your animals needs. I can do overnight stays and week+ stays at a time. The longer time I get with an animal, the stronger bond we share. I follow client wishes as each home is different. Some animals have food readily accessible while others require special food needs at specific times, some want their animal walked while others allow them to roam the yard. I have some dog training experience as I had my dogs trained, a big protective boy and small nippy gal. 14 years together until, 6 weeks apart, an accident with my girl while I was on a trip out of town and old age took my boy. They were my entire world. I’m a helicopter dog mom and I wont be different with yours. I can’t risk them being unsafe in my care. When they go out, I go out with them every time. I set alarms for medication and have always been successful with administering meds or vitamins when needed. I will love them as they are mine. Animals bring me joy and make living rewarding but best of all, full of love.

About: I am a dog lover who loves to meet more pets! I have 2 Westies and we spend hours outside each day in the yard or walking at a park. I am here to help whether you are gone for just a few hours or for weeks at a time. I have no problem allowing the dogs to run free in our house, or stop by to check on your pet in your house. As a pet lover, I will care for your pet as I do mine, and they are spoiled! I am home almost all the time. I wander around our 3 acres and love to garden. I take my dogs for a walk almost daily. I am with the dogs almost all the time. If I have to go run an errand, I can crate them. They are allowed on the furniture with me.

“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Bob was able to pick up Edison from my hotel 20 minutes away from his house and watched him all day while I was working. What I got in return was a very happy and tired dog! Bob sent me updates throughout the day to let me know how Edison was doing, and with a large fenced-in yard my dog was able to roam free with the other dogs. I will definitely use Bob again if I'm staying in the Kalamazoo area and I would recommend you do too!”

“Amy was great! She was calm and easy-going and took great care of my guy. We will hang with Amy again!”

About: I have been a lifelong pet owner and love dogs. I have taken care of lots of dogs. Walking them, feeding them, brushing them, and most of all giving attention and love to them so they do not feel anxious or sad when their family is away. I am currently working very part time and would be available weekends or weekdays and also overnights. To give your dogs the best love and support I have a big yard but it is not fenced in so best to be on a leash at my house. I am also able to crate if need be.

About: I have a very warm, pet friendly house hold! We have always been animal lovers and treat our pets like part of the family. We will love and take care of your babies while you are away. <3 I am home all day so your pet will have 24/7 care! I am available during the week and on the weekends. You won't have to worry about your pet being unattended. Your pet will have full range of our home and will be treated like part of our family during the stay. We love our fur babies!

About: I have owned pets my entire life. Dogs, cats, birds, a snake-who is still with us. I currently have a golden retriever named Oakley. My grand dog, Moose also lives with us. He is a blood hound. Roz the ball python. We recently lost our beloved tuxedo cat at 20 years old. His name was Odie. I have owned high energy dogs-3 huskies, including one that was deaf towards the end of his life. Our pets are family, they are just furry humans! I currently work full time from home and I walk everyday. I would love to include your dog on my walks. I can also be available for check-ins and potty breaks if unable to walk d/t inclement weather. I have a large yard for running off leash or on an e-collar as well as a fenced area. Your pets will never be left unattended or unsupervised. Pets are family and are allowed to roam freely in our home. I can also crate your pet as desired for sleeping or if we have to leave the house briefly.

“Thank you Amy! Einstein is totally exhausted from his great day with you. He loves playing with other dogs and seemed very happy with your house. Thank you for the pictures and videos we love seeing him happy and allowed us to enjoy our time together.”

About: I have had a family pet most of my life! I love dogs and love to train them. I have experience watching my friend's dogs while they are on vacation. I work full-time out of our home. Weekends I am most often home or close to home. Our dogs get plenty of attention and activities. I have a partial fence that allows room to go out. I live in a quiet neighborhood that works well for walking dogs. We have an Aussie Doottle and he loves to play with other dogs. He gets along great with other dogs and children. April 1 - October 31 we stay at a campground. There are no fences there but we have plenty of room to play, walk, and use the dog park.
