Brooknelle Pet Hotel

Brooknelle Pet Hotel handles dog boarding and dog daycare in Grand Rapids, Michigan, along with cat boarding, grooming, and training at its Knapp Street NE location. Dogs stay in individual indoor kennels that open onto their own outdoor runs and patios, so each guest has private space rather than a shared room. Cats stay apart from the dogs, in screened-in condos with connecting rooms.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding for dogs and cats in private, climate-controlled suites
• Dog daycare with an indoor play room and fenced outdoor yards
• Grooming and training on site
• Medication administration and special diet prep on request
• 24/7 supervision, security cameras, and temperature sensors

What sets the facility apart

The fenced play yards are grassy and have a creek running through them, which gives the outdoor time more of a backyard feel than a row of concrete runs. Indoor play space means groups still get exercise when the weather turns. Supervision runs around the clock, and the building is monitored with cameras and temperature sensors. Booking and photo updates both run through the Gingr app, so owners can reserve a stay and check in on their dog from their phone.
