Kim's K-9

Kim's K-9 is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 3108 Broadmoor Ave SE in Kentwood, Michigan, that also runs training programs. Small, medium, and large dogs are all accepted.

What a stay looks like

Days are built around supervised group play, with dogs sorted into groups by size and energy level. Indoor and outdoor play spaces are both used, though outdoor time depends on the weather. Staff rotate in new enrichment activities and play structures each week. Every dog also gets private kennel naptime, so play is balanced with rest.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding and dog daycare
• Private suites for dogs who do better away from a group
• Training, including Puppy Kindergarten and a Private Puppy Playground
• Medication administration during a stay
• Report cards and photo opportunities

What sets it apart

New dogs start with a free trial day, which gives staff a chance to see how a dog plays before an overnight stay is booked. The kennel also runs adventure excursions on its PAWty Bus. Boarding, daycare, and training all operate out of the same Kentwood location, which is handy for owners whose dog is working on manners between stays.
