Best Kennel Grand Rapids Near Me

Lauren Perry: We’ve had nothing but great experiences here. Our dog Maverick has been boarded there 4 or 5 times now and has been treated like a king. He is anxious, reactive, and takes daily medication and the staff always says how much of a sweetheart he is and keeps up with his needs. They are great at responding, communicating, and treating your animals well.It’s so tough to find a good boarding place for your larger breed dogs, and but I would recommend Whiskers to anyone!

Kathy Maas: Amazing staff, cleanliness. They stepped in and helped boarding a dog in an urgent situation. We couldn't be more pleased.

Cody Hager: Excellent service, dogs were very well taken care of. Will use again.

ThIIIrd Person: Huge facility, very clean and well staffed with attentive people. Price for the nice room with outside access was reasonable and we couldnt get back on time but the late fee was not backbreaking. Would board here again.

Jenni Hodgman: We have used Whiskers for grooming, daycare and boarding over the last year and they have exceeded expectations in every way. Great amenities, great value and great service. Definitely not the cheapest but you get such great service that it’s more than worth it.

Rachel E: They’re so attentive here and able to do special things like giving oue dog her eye drops. Our dog is usually very cautious but she seems to really enjoy her time here.

John Tegner: Great service from drop off to pick up. Highly recommend Whiskers!!

Tom: They do a great job ~ We've tried a few others over the years, nobody even comes close. Always happy with their work and how our dog looks when done. Highly recommended!!

Susan Belock: Our dogs loved their vacation at Whiskers. The staff treated them with such love. We will definitely board our dogs there again!

Allison Baker: They go above and beyond to care for dogs who need extra medical help during their stay.

Jonathan Wesche: Friendly service and very accommodating. We would go back for sure!

Jimber Phalhagen: Staff is hardworking and very knowledgeable, unfortunately the management could be better.

hunter1365: Great experience with Whiskers! We have been dropping off our two other dogs for a few years and my girlfriend wanted to try them out for the first time with her older chihuahua. He did wonderful and she appreciated all the extra attention with her senior dog! It’s tough leaving our pets but even harder with an older dog . We’re excited to book another trip and now know we have a happy place for all the dogs to go! Highly recommend this wonderful place !

Dana Hoyt: Our dog Rudy is very anxious but he did very well at Whiskers. Thank you!

MouseHouse36: I love whiskers! They got us in for boarding very last minute this weekend and my furry friend came home exhausted and well cared for!

Merryl Ludovico: We checked in our dog (2 yrs old Australian shepherd) Dec. 18. While we were on vacation, my daughter received an email about our dog started limping so they took him out of playtime and let him rest. My daughter and my husband picked him up at Dec. 23 and paid $325. Our dog was still limping when he was picked up, so my family brought him to the emergency. Our dog was in the emergency for about 8 hrs, they X-ray his left paw and gave pain meds. We end up paying $685.28.Out of frustration, my daughter and I emailed Whiskers on Dec. 24 demanded some answers and a video about what really happened and why did our dog started limping. We did received an email back same day that a manager will contact us. But the manager didn’t get back to us until Monday Dec. 26 because of the holiday. Then, my daughter got a phone call and text message about what happened. They told her that our dog was playing with another dog (Bernice mountain dog) probably bigger than ours we don’t know. They said that they could not see the video camera clearly.My daughter brought our dog to his vet appointment yesterday Jan. 4, and they said that he has ankle fracture and it’ll take some time to heal. We paid the vet $525.61 because they sedated him for X-ray and gave him pain meds and calming med.I did appreciate that the whiskers manager return back to us however what matters here is that theres some kind of neglect happened on their part. With their pricing being too much, dog owners should expect high quality care no matter what. We wont bring our dog there anymore and I hope this comment brings awareness to other dog/cat owners.

Onyeneho Kelvinugonna: She is always happy to be there

Ted Adornato: Love this place….so does my pup!

Alexandra Rizza: My dog usually doesn’t mind kennels so I didn’t worry when dropping him off. When I came to pick him up a few days later he seemed happy and healthy. They even mentioned that he was spoiled and wanted everyone’s love and attention.I will definitely be contacting whiskers for my dog to stay on my next vacation.

John Smith: Not sure why the rating is so high on google, yelp has a more accurate depiction of the place. This resort will charge you for every last possible thing. Want an update about your dog? That’s costs money.. Want your dog to come out of its cell more than twice in 24hrs? You guessed it, costs money. Want a dog that isn’t happy and depressed when you get it back? This is your place. Not sure what’s going on behind the scenes at this facility but I doubt it’s actual care unless you are paying their top dollar rates.

Ed Alexander: Scheduled grooming over 2 weeks ago. Came in and told me I was not scheduled. Spoke to the groomer and she said that she was booked. She did not offer any solutions. Disappointed with service.

Kathy Haisma: Fantastic experience for Gunner and his parents. He is super loved there and gets treated so kindly. Wonderful facility 👍❤️❤️

Catherine Gernand: Best place we've ever boarded any of our pets. We love the staff and the facilities are clean and well kept. They were rec by 8 friend and we continue to refer people as well.We don't have to worry about our dog when she is there!!

sally miller: Gracie is a senior dog, who had a spa day at Paws&Unwind pet resort. She was so happy with her new look after shopping she is still unwinding.

Griselle Veras: My dog loves doggy daycare! Always so happy and excited as soon was we walk through the door. I also love that they send me pictures and videos of her during her stay!

Katie Pruitt: I took my dog to daycare for the first time today. My heart is so full looking at the pictures and videos they sent me. I truly appreciate the care the staff here has for the animals. My dog is my whole world and I am so happy we found a place for him to socialize and exercise at while Im at work. Looking forward to bringing him back!!

Ginny Lezotte: Unbelievably accommodating. Wonderful staff. Felt like they loved my dog as much as I did. Highly recommend!! 🐕‍ ❤️

Ashleigh Russett: Takes good care of my cat. He always looks handsome after a grooming here.

mary anderson: Great grooming and boarding experience.

Taylor Robinson: We did a one-night trial stay with our pup and they did not feed or give his very important medications to him at dinner time (He was dropped off late afternoon.) At pickup, they gave no information on how our dog was during his stay and did not inform me that he was not fed. They also ruined his food bowl by writing on it with permanent marker. We will not be returning and will not recommend to anyone. We'll stick with Whiskers.Edited to add: After looking into it, Paws and Unwind is owned by the same people behind Barking Boutique, which is really no surprise. They truly don’t care for animals if they are working with puppy mills.

Gil Bryson: Thank you for taking such great care of my dogs! The staff truly cares that they are having fun and safe.Thank you!

Dianna Cummings: Horrible experience, the receptionist was not warm and friendly to our puppy when she took her back. We were charged for two nights despite the promotional deal that was offered from the barking boutique. My dad picked Bella up on her last day and the staff never asked for ID. She wasn’t bathed, she had hard feces stuck to her butt. We will never use this facility again.

Jenni Kerkstra: We had our usual person who would watch our dog fall through and needed to schedule something quick. For any of the dog boarding near us they were the only ones to answer in a timely manner. We were able to get her in and the process of getting her in went well. Never was given an estimate number so we had to estimate it ourselves. There was no clear drop off/pick up times so I had to ask. Customer service felt off. Pick-up wasn't smooth, the front desk was rude and when we got our dog back and her stuff, her bedding was wet and smelled. Her behavior was off as well. We signed up for the silver tier and had added that she was more wary with men but it was clear in the videos we received as check ups that she still was around men which might not be avoidable. Once we got home she went to the bathroom but she will hold it all day because she refuses to go inside, so it was obvious she wasn't let out the day we picked her up. A little disappointed and probably will never bring her back.

Joe Hudson: The staff were great, my kitties were in good spirits and seemed well cared for. Would definitely board with them again.

Meagan Mojica: We have been bringing our dog here to get groomed for quite sometime and have usually had a good experience (depending on the groomer as we have had a few instances where we weren’t as satisfied). My husband brought our dog in for an appointment and was 12 minutes late due to an unforeseen circumstance….they told him after 10 minutes they cancel the appointments and would not take our dog back to get groomed. Unbelievable. If you are contemplating going here, I would look elsewhere as they don’t have great customer service here.

Carolyn Pue: My puppy loves it there

Marlene Ward: Was not impressed. Frist off make sure you get pricing in writing! They told me on price on phone, and when I dropped her off I asked the lady agian when dropping off, then when I came to pick my dog up they did not give her a bath or nail trim that I asked for told me to come back in 10 mins and it would be done. Came back then the same lady that told me the price at check in told me I owed way more for the bath and nail trim I told her you where the one that told me the pricing when I checked her in and I asked that includes a bath and nail trim and 3 days of play! She argued with me and no one of management was available to talk to.🙄 I paid . Got home and my dog has been home since Monday 7/11/22 and she has had diarrhea since she has been home and I sent her food with them😡 I called 2 days into it and they said it most be stress!! Geez what did you do to my dog!! It's Friday I have given her some rice and punkin and she still has diarrhea! This place does not care don't take your Dog here if you love them!💔💔💔

Kenny McMahon: They're always super friendly and we get a tired pup at the end of the day. I think the pup knows "doggy daycare" and gets excited to go!

Katie Braund: We've used Charlie's now for over a year, and Sable has had daycare, bath, and board with them and each experience has been perfect!Sable loves the staff and knows exactly which days she goes to camp because she is always eager to leave at the crack of dawn.The variety of dogs at play and their large fenced facility make for a very tired pup.Great place.

It’s such a great place for them and I always feel so comfortable leaving them in such good hands.My dogs always have a huge smile when I see them in pictures they posted of them as well as when I pick them up.
