Dog Boarding in West Grand, Grand Rapids, MI

“Lauren was quick to message, sensitive to my concerns and questions, compassionate to my boys, and showed them so much love. Her dogs temperament did not give me any concern to be around my dogs and her house and yard is dog friendly.”

“Ru was amazing! She didn't hesitate to agree to board my three month old Frenchie, and was super accommodating about last minute changes when we had a huge snag in our trip. Thanks for everything!”

“Tim was so good with Duckie! he kept us updated with pictures and letting us know what Duckie was up to! Tim took him on plenty of walks which our puppy loved. Duckie also had a great time with his new friend Gabby! I would definitely recommend Tim, he was great!”

“Linda is such an amazing person and dogsitter. We have used her twice now and she loves and cares for our cavapoo like she is her own. Our dog, Ivy, loves playing with Linda’s dogs and always has such a great time at her house. 😃😃”

Jim W.

“Sam kept Appa very happy. She sent pictures to show he was doing well. Immediately when we got out of the car, she engaged with Appa and it was obvious this would be a good place for him to stay. I would strongly recommend Sam and if I have a future need I hope she will be available.”

Jean P.

“Our dogs loved their stay at Leslie’s house. Her fenced yard and flexible schedule were a huge bonus to us when picking a pet sitter. We knew our dogs were in good hands which gave us great peace of mind!”

Jasmine B.

“Brittany and her husband were great caretakers for our dog Lego! She kept us posted throughout his stay with pictures and text messages. We will definitely use them again!”

“Pam is a delight. I highly recommend. She is professional, kind, thoughtful, detailed with care needs, ensured Toby's safety, preferences had been provided and comfort. Pam was very prompt with responding. Provided timely updates with pictures. From our initial meet, drop off and pick up, I experienced such a loving environment and felt Toby was very much welcomed, cared for and had fun running with Pam's little fur babies. Pam's dogs and two cats are very social and adorable. Pam let him sleep in her bed at night knowing he does same at home. Toby returned home very relaxed and showed no signs of being stressed. She truly welcomed and cared for Toby as if her own. I already booked his next stay. Thank you Pam!”

Michelle T.

“Felix was amazing with our pup! It was his first time without us since we got him and we were pretty nervous with how things would go, but our dog Chuck ended up having a great time! Felix sent regular videos and pictures and would send more whenever requested. We never had to worry about Chuck and knew he was having fun! The meet and greet before hand also helped relieve some nerves seeing the house and getting to meet Felix beforehand. We will definitely use Felix again with any of our dog sitting needs in the future!”

Anna W.

“Katherine was excellent with our black lab! Even with a fairly short notice, she and her family welcomed her and took great care of her over the weekend. Would book again!”

Magnus S.

“Marina did a wonderful job caring for our dog. I feel like extra steps were taken to ensure she was comfortable, eating and sleeping well. Additionally, we received daily updates on the status, activity levels and pictures. We simply could not ask for a better caretaker while we travel.”

Kevin S.

“Susan and her pets were like a vacation for our dog, Maizee, while we were on ours. Maizee was very obviously treated as if she were one of Susan’s pets and came home nice and tired. Will absolutely book with Susan again.”

Shane J.

“Molly was wonderful and took great care of my spunky toy aussie! My dog got along great with Molly’s dog, and my dog doesn’t always get along well with bigger dogs. Molly sent pictures and made me feel at ease while I was away. She also took my dog on plenty of walks, so my pup was tuckered out when she got home. Highly recommend Molly’s services!”

Kacie B.

“Caitlin takes such great care of Mika! Mika loves staying with her and Goode. She is so welcoming and comforting. She sends regular updates and communicates excellently.”

About: Welcome to Riverside Park! My husband, Nick, and I have both been caring for animals since we were children. As educators, we have the flexibility to meet your pet's needs on your schedule. Whether your pet needs daily check it's, walks, or a place to stay while you're away, we are ready to accommodate! At our home, we have a small yard perfect for potty breaks and tug-o-war. We are also minutes away from the stunning Riverside Park, where our 2-year-old collie/shepherd mix, Fela (female, spayed), loves to get tuckered out on our daily walks. We can't wait to meet you and your pet! Let's find a time to see if it would be a good fit :) We are off for the summer, so we are able to work around your schedule! We are available for daily walks, feeding, check-ins, and boarding. Pick up and drop off available for a small fee. Please let us know ahead of time a little bit about your pet, including any special needs, so we can be prepared to care for them. We want both you and your pet to feel safe and comfortable! We want to respect your space and your pet's needs. For check-ins and walks, if your dog prefers not to have company, our dog Fela does not need to accompany us. However, it is still a good idea to arrange an initial meeting between us, you, and your pet to make sure everyone is comfortable. For boarding, please arrange a time for us and our dogs get introduce to one another to ensure our house is a good fit. You are welcome to come see our home to make sure it is safe for your furry friend, and/or we are happy to meet at the park first if that is more comfortable.

“Sarah was absolutely fantastic! She patiently took the time to understand my concerns, expectations, and my dog's needs. She is personable, communicative, and seeks to do the best to take care of your pet. She took EXCELLENT care of my dog! She was able to manage his separation anxiety and even got him to eat his dog food! (Typically, when I am away he will eat only his treats, rarely eating his food.) Sarah will take exceptional care of your pet and treat them as if they are a part of her family. I would hire her again, hands down!”

Shonda M.

“Fantastic communication. Lots of pictures.”

Dan D.

“Willow had a great stay with Derek! Her first time with a sitter, he took time to understand her personality and allowed her to find her space and place in his care. He kept us up to date with photos/videos, which made being away that much easier! So awesome!”

About: I’ve cared for my own dog for the past 5 years and know firsthand how important consistent, loving care is for a happy, well-adjusted pup. I take pride in keeping routines steady—whether that’s daily walks, play, or just quiet companionship. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels and always aim to follow your pet’s specific needs and preferences closely. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m home full-time on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I work in the office from 8 AM to 5 PM, but I come home every day from 12–1 PM for lunch, so your pup will still get a mid-day potty break, walk, or whatever they need. Before and after work, I’m available for walks, feeding, and quality time—just like I do with my own dog. I make it a priority to follow each dog’s routine closely so they feel safe, settled, and at home. I have a fenced in yard that my dog loves to spend time in. My own dog was quite the troublemaker for the first few years of his life so I’ve become very accustomed to keeping a close eye on behavior and any unusual behavior that might require action.
