My pups and I absolutely love Nature of the Dog! Jackie, Luke and the entire are wonderful, friendly, attentive and clearly care very much for all the dogs. I love the small play groups with attention to most compatible groups. I cannot recommend Nature of the Dog for daycare & boarding.

We have two Great Danes, who we board at Nature Of The Dog. We have boarded them at other places previously, and NOTD is by far the superior facility and staff. The staff is very kind and accommodating. Our dogs are excited to go to Nature Of The Dog and always come back in good condition and good spirits. They also have an excellent website, including dog friendly stores around Grand Rapids. HIGHLY recommend!

We've sent our dog here for both overnight boarding and doggie daycare, they've been great! Really nice facility and the owner/staff are kind and friendly. Our dog seems to really enjoy his time there, too!

Puppies and not-so puppies love it. The way sessions are paid for you it’s have to plan well for your needs and make sure you understand conditions.At the GRR location is a little hectic right off M37 especially during drop off / pickup and rush hours.

My dog Sadie loves Nature of the Dog for boarding and daycare. And she LOVES Mr Luke & Ms Jackie. Sadie has been going for visits since she was a puppy and she never loses her excitement for getting to see her pals! Thank you to the whole staff for taking care of my baby when we can't ourselves!!! We are so blessed to have you and Sadie says hello! :)

I send my dog there for day care daily and have used Nature of the Dog for boarding, and I cannot say enough great things about Jackie, Luke, their staff, and the facility! My dog is cared for and loved there, and I love that they get plenty of play time outside.

Nature of the Dog is the best! Our very active and excitable golden needed a place that he could run and play under the supervision of experienced staff. Luke and Jackie take great care of him while boarding or durning the day for daycare. He always comes home tired and relaxed.I also really appreciate how they took the time to learn what kind of personality our dog has and how we have trained him. They work with him while he visits and make sure to reinforce positive behavior.

Great place to board your dog! My dog can sometimes struggle to get along with other dogs especially with toys nearby and they were very accommodating to this. They introduced him slowly and he felt comfortable enough to play with other pups! We hoped they would post more pictures of him while he was there but overall, a great experience!

We have loved Nature of the Dog!!! Our pup Remi loves going for daycare and boarding. He always comes home happy and tired. As first time dog owners we were nervous finding somewhere based off reviews. Nature of the Dog didn’t have a single bad review and you can tell why! Definitely check it out if have haven’t already.

Well folks...we are happy to give this awesome, smaller boarding/doggie day care a "they've got it going on!" Nature of the Dog truly recognizes the nature if the dog. Boarding kennels are top notch and the owners know doggies (right down to keeping white noise going for dogs in their bedrooms waiting to rotate out into the play yard). Thumbs up to owner Luke. Relaxed, sweet atmosphere for visiting canine family members.

Such friendly people! Fast communication with any questions you may have! Our dog enjoyed her visit and will be back! Enjoyed all the pictures on Instagram and Facebook through out the day! Definitely people, and a place you can trust to care for your dog!

For Luke and Jackie this is not just a business it's a life. They love animals of all kinds.
