Hello, and thanks for stopping by our web site.

My name is Derry Graczyk, my husband Carl and I live on this beautiful farm in Hopkins Michigan.  We operate a little pet lodging facility for pets, raise and train Vizsla and keep some sheep and enjoy a peaceful beautiful life in the country!

If you need a pet sitter for any reason, we will be happy to take care of your canine family member! Our kennel is clean and safe and your pet will get my individual attention.

Attention that only a small family owned business like ours can offer!

Each pet has his or her own individual space, a climate controlled run with a bed, and access to their food and water. We do NOT cage board!  We let the dogs outside several times a day to play and potty in our large fenced in play yard.

Our kennel building is simple, we do not have flat screen TV's or fancy murals, but our guests prefer our love and affection over interior design!  Peruse our web site to see our place!

Testimonials from some of our customers

"My old dog needs shots twice a day, and regular exercise to help her diabetes. And the two young ones love to run and play all day long. StaynPlayPetLodging offered all of the above and more - - I know my dogs are well taken care of every day I am gone."

We began boarding with Derry and Carl over four years ago and continue
to be thankful for the individualized care that our dogs have received.
Namely, our 13 year old German Shorthair, was not really eating well his
last year with us. He had massive separation anxiety and would give up
until he saw us again. So Derry would make little meatballs and sit and
hand feed him until he had eaten enough. He would jump out of the car
and look forward to a kennel visit because he knew that he was loved
there. We continue to board our Weimaraner, Shiloh with them as well. We
are forever thankful for the hugs and love that they especially gave to
Buster in his last year. However this is only typical of the care they
give to any dog while staying with them.

Our girl stayed with Derry for almost two weeks last spring...We knew she was in competent, capable hands and did not worry one moment she was there...She will be going back in March for another stay.  Thanks Derry for all you do!

"Both Derry and Carl know my dogs as if they were family members.  They continue to be sensitive to each of our dog's individual needs and accommodate us with a friendly smile!  While searching for a new dogcare place back in 2002, a friend told us about this great farm in Hopkins and we have been repeat customers ever since."  -
