I’ve been bringing my dogs to Charlie’s for over 5 years now, we unfortunately relocated about 3 hours due to work for a couple of years and were devastated that we needed to find a new doggie daycare. Our only option was one of the “corporate brands” and the care was not the same as what Kelsey and her team at Charlie’s offer.The “corporate” facility didn’t give that extra attention and love to our dogs and just kept them locked in a cement room for hours on end.We were excited when we moved back to once again be able to bring our dogs to Charlie’s. Our dogs absolutely love Charlie’s Canine Care because they are treated with so much love, it’s their home away from home. The staff members knows our dogs needs and they have such a large facility where the dogs can actually do dog things and runs around vs being stuck in the same room for hours on end.I recommend Charlie’s to everyone and the best part is they are locally and family owned and will treat your dogs like their own.

Michelle is awesome with the dog. And always does a fantastic job. With here. All we have dealt with at Charlie's K9 are professional, always very helpful. It is plain to see all who work there. Love our animals. Just as much as we do. Great Job Guy's. Keep up the good work. I would recommend Charlie's to anyone.

We love this family run place. There is a wonderful no fuss service here with clean safe facilities . Juniper loves to stay here and comes home plenty exhausted from playing in the yard with other dogs. A great value id recommend.

Very caring with our little Izzy. I would recommend Carlies Canine Care to anyone who wants to have their dog groomed there. They are the best.

We LOVE Charlie's! Kelsey is very accommodating and the staff is great. We take Vincent once a week. He is a Vizsla who gets along well with the other dogs and loves to play. Although extremely rare, if there ever is a problem where another dog has had an issue with Vince, they are sure to inform us at pick up and let us know what they did to resolve the situation - even if there has been no injury to either dog. The dogs are never left alone with each other, there is always a human supervisor if there is more than one pet in the enclosed outdoor area (we previously took Vince to Pet Villa and found this was not the case.) They also clean Vincent before he leaves, which we love! We completely trust Charlie's with our precious fur baby and have recommended it to friends many times!

We love Charlies! We take our dogs there every friday and they bark with excitmenet the minute we pull into the drive. They are always happy and tuckered out when we pick them up. The staff is great, very hands-on and are obvious dog lovers. They do a great job of making sure you dog is taken care of and having fun. They always post photos of your dogs playing on facebook so you can see how they're doing.Their groomer is great too and fairly priced!

My dog is a little nervous in new situations, but Kelsey is a dog whisperer and has helped him come out of his shell. They are always very accommodating to my busy schedule and my dogs love them. Great place to board or bring your dog for day care:)

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. Great people.

We love Charlies Canine Care! Our dog goes there for daycare and when he needs to be boarded. He loves hanging out with all of his doggie girlfriends. The staff is reliable and great dog handlers!

Staff is great. Prices are very reasonable. Our dog comes home happy and tired. Could not ask for a better daycare situation. Would recommend highly for daycare and boarding.

Our dog was sprayed by a skunk and they let us take her in very early that morning. They took a long time making sure she was all clean. Are friendly and helpful.They have good availability for scheduling. Our dog always looks great after a grooming here!

I can't say enough good things about Charlie's. Our yellow lab loves to come and play. The staff and owners are warm and wonderful people who take such good care of our extremely energetic lab. We've been taking Murphy to Charlie's for over a year now and have always felt he is safe and well cared for. Our kids love the FB posts of our dog playing with the other dogs. I looked at quite a few places to take our dog for daycare and for kenneling. None compared to Charlie's. I love that they're outside and able to run around all day. No one else has the outside area that Charlie's does. Kelsey and staff are fabulous!

My dog loves Charlie's! She's been going weekly for 3-4 months now. They go out of their way to make sure she is comfortable and always has a dog her size to play with. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a place to put their pup. Great staff, great location, and great prices! They even have a groomer for when she needs her nails done!In response to other reviews stating they care about money more then your pets this is not the case. Very kindhearted works who love what they do and will put your pets best interests first!

We take our dog Murphy to Charlies Canine and he loves it as much as we do. We just had him there when we went on a 17 day vacation. They took such good care of him. Posted pictures so we could see how he was doing and they're great about calling you back if you have questions or concerns. I highly recommend Charlies for a day of play or extended boarding.

We've boarded our dog here a handful of times. She has some behavioral issues as a result of anxiety, and has been kicked out of other boarding places. But at Charlie's she's been doing great. She seems to enjoy playing with the other dogs and we enjoy seeing some of the pictures the employees post on their Facebook. All around good experience so far.

I bring my dog here once a week and she loves it! Gets to play with tons of other dogs, and is always tired when I pick her up. They have fair prices and kind people; would definitely recommend to anyone looking for doggy day care!

I absolutely love this place. Not only is it an amazing place to work (as a groomer), but the staff are amazing, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about taking the best possible care of you pets. I bring my dog with me every day, and I wouldn't trust anyone but the guys at Charlie's to watch over my baby boy while I work.

Love Charlie's Canine Care!!! We bring both our dogs here - I have taken them other places and the experience is not the same. When I drop the dogs off they both are very happy to go. Thank you for all you do :)

Quality doggy daycare and boarding. They really love the dogs here and take great care of them. Our husky is always super tired when we pick her up, which is a feat in itself.

We take our dog Ollie here for daycare and boarding. They are such a wonderful family, so good to him and very accommodating to us. They bring Ollie out to us when we pick him up because they know we have our little one in the car 😊highly recommended Charlie's 😁

They were fantastic with my fur baby's grooming and so friendly. The fenced yard was huge for the bigger dogs with shelters and a variety of things for them to play with. Loved them!!!

We love Charlie's! Our dog is always excited to spend time there and we feel completely comfortable leaving him in their hands. Highly recommend!

I always bring my dogs here. 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. I know that when I go on vacation or away for the weekend, that my dogs will be having as great of a time as I am while I’m away.

Safe and fun for your furry kids. I love Charlie's!The staff are wonderful and go above and beyond to be accommodating in emergency situations. I always know they are safe.

A tired dog is a happy dog! Charlie’s is like bringing your dog to a friends house where they are supervised, exercised, and excited to come back. This is a conscientious family who are always looking for ways to improve the great care and services they already provide.

My baby loves going. Knows where we are when we turn into the drive. They always give reports and have been wonderful with my dogs health needs. Taking extra special care of him.

Dog lovers beware. I was speaking with the owners of this place, and once the owner found out I didn't own a dog he stated. "You'll never believe what someone will spend on a dog."Sounds like he's looking for your money, much more than a love for your pet. Plenty of other places to bring your furry friend.

I am the owner Joshua refers to in his review. I am sure I said those words, they are fact. Dog lovers do spend money to have their loved one well cared for. Our rates are the same if not lower than most facilities. And our guests(dogs) play outside on grass. Check out our facebook or website.

This is THE place to take your dog for play or boarding in Grand Rapids. They have wonderful staff every time we bring our dog - sometimes just for the day and other times for a week long vacation - he doesn't want to leave! A+
