Cottage-Country Boarding/Daycare

Pet care experience

What can I say- I love dogs! I just finished fencing in about an acre of my property for lots of play space. Next to Lake Rosseau, and close to public beach for playing and swimming if your pooch is into that. At the cottage and need to leave unexpectedly and need some doggy boarding or day care? Look no further! I have an older cat who keeps to himself, and two dogs. Both are lab mixes- one a 5 yr old named Larry, and a 2 1/2 yr old girl Abby. Larry is a bit shy with humans, but loves loves loves anything with 4 legs. Abby loves everyone. I am a sucker for animals, so they get the run of my house, unless you prefer them to be crated- just let me know. I am home full time, and will take very good care of your fur baby. I have cared for dogs my whole life- including a few fosters and adoption (like Larry). I’ve worked with dogs through surgery recovery, administration of all sorts of medications, dealing with anxiety, and basic training. Would be happy to talk about potential training for your dog if needed. Reach out- come for a visit to intro your dog to Larry & Abby if you like. You can see where/how your dog will be cared for. I can provide photo updates throughout your dogs stay if requested, just let me know. Depending on availability, I can optionally provide remote tracking links so you can see your dogs activity and location, live through an app, while in my care. Don’t hesitate to ask for additional details on this.

Henry seemed very happy with his stay at Michaels! Loved the photo update and flexibility. Great big space for the pups to run around. We will be using Michael again for sure:)

Ruby had an awesome time staying with Michael and his dogs! Michael was flexible with his timing regarding drop-off and pick-up, and he was super responsive throughout Ruby's stay. We really appreciated all of his updates and the cute pictures he sent of Ruby enjoying her time. Overall, he was gentle in his approach and clearly has an authentic love for dogs. If looking for care in the Rosseau area - would recommend!

Michael was great! Quick to reply and helped us out in short notice. Lots of space for the dogs to play and our pup enjoyed playing with the other dogs! Thanks!
