Doggy Day Care in Taylor

About: Notice: I require proof of a current rabies vaccine prior to booking. Your fur baby will receive the same love and care as my own. I've always had dogs and cats in my life and I have experience with all kinds of breeds, including pit bulls, retrievers, and terriers. I can accommodate most dogs, but I cannot board dogs who have a high prey drive. I require a Meet & Greet before your first booking. I live in a typical Detroit-area brick ranch with a fenced backyard (privacy fence against a chain link). I never leave dogs outside when I'm away from home and although the yard is fenced, I supervise and play with my guest dogs when they're outside. Please send me a request if you are interested in booking. I'd love to set up a "meet & greet"! Thanks for considering the Howliday Inn! Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover my whole life. I've owned a Springer spaniel, two Labrador retrievers, and an American bulldog. I have experience with many breeds and can handle just about any dog. I've hosted everything from teeny little 7-pound terriers to a 150 pound Newfoundland. I no longer have a dog of my own, so dog sitting lets me be a dog mom a few days at a time. About my yard I have a typical suburban Detroit backyard - fenced on all sides with a gated driveway. I have a large deck on the back of the house and a small/medium grassy area. Although my yard is fenced, I never leave my guest dogs unattended while they're outside. My experience in administering medication I have only administered oral medication. My main job is pet sitting and walking, so your baby will receive lots of love and attention from me. Please see my schedule for availability. I ask pet parents about routines and feeding schedules. In my home, I use a baby gate to keep dogs from escaping out of open doors. My back yard is fenced and I supervise dogs when they go outside. I have a large crate for dogs who need to be crated when left alone or for dogs who are comforted by being crated. I only use a crate for dogs who use them at home. When I’m house sitting, I take a similar approach, but I also double-check the home is secure when I leave.

“Emily truly exceeds expectations in her care for our puppy, Loki. She consistently provides updates and is actively helping him improve his behavior. Emily has been incredibly responsive, answering all our questions promptly and thoroughly. She has given my husband and me complete peace of mind, ensuring us that Loki is in excellent care. Her home is wonderfully designed with the dogs' enjoyment and safety in mind, both of which are top priorities for her and for us. As our first experience with a doggy day care, Emily has set the bar high, and we are profoundly grateful to have discovered her services. Thank you for your upmost care!”

“Danielle is great with animals (all breeds) and extremely trustworthy. I've had dogs that had special needs (medication) and Danielle showed me she was confident and efficient in administration. She's overall knowledgeable and super friendly. You can tell she loves all animals. I'll definitely be having her watch my fur babies in the future!!”

About: As a former Veterinary Technician, I have 15 years of animal experience. I am well trained in basic animal care, animal behavior, as well as medical care and emergency aid. Knowing and understanding animal behavior, allows me to give your pet the utmost care according to their specific individual needs. My personal experience extends further than just dogs and cats, as I am also very comfortable with exotic pets (parrots, small caged pets, fish, amphibians, reptiles). Being that I personally care for and have in my home dogs, cats, birds, and livestock; I am positive that I can accommodate the needs of your pets. My home is well equipped for animals, with a large fenced in backyard, and a large property with few neighbors. Plenty of room for romps, play, and walks. At our home, animals are the axis on which we spin, and I truly strive to offer your pet a comfortable and simulating environment for them while you are away. Pets deserve a vacation too! I have been dog boarding and offering doggy day care before I became a verified sitter on Rover and can provide references from clients. I will always propose a Meet and Greet beforehand, somewhere public for us to meet, and mutually feel comfortable about bookings. You may also expect a consistent stream of photos of your pet while you are away. If you love your animal companions as much as I do, I know that you want to know they are safe, loved, and well while you are away. I am happy to answer any questions about my pet experience via text, call, or in person at our meet. Can't wait to meet your sweet pet! I work from home, providing animal services, and also have quite a number of my own personal pets. My daily routine consists of pet care as soon as I've woken up (and started the java machine). I spend about 2-3 hours every morning dedicated to animal care, feeding, medications, and enrichment. Animals are a huge part of not only my home but my life. Being as such, it will be no issue to care fully for your pets individual and specific needs. Every pet boarded, or staying for day care is provided their own space and comfort, as well as whatever they need to maintain their regular routine at home. My home is very much setup to accommodate animals of any size. Dogs that are boarding will either sleep in a crate with bedding, or my kitchen has pocket doors that can close so your pet/s can have the kitchen to themselves to give them their own private space. There is a large fenced backyard that your pet can use for potty breaks and outdoor play. If your pet is dog friendly than I have multiple dogs that would enjoy a new playmate! For walks and drop ins, all instructions will be followed precisely. I have experience in training as well which allows me to see and understand pet body language on walks in order to ensure your pet's safety at all times. Doggy Day Care pups are also given their own space, but I strive to fill their time at my home with stimulating and enriching activities. Much like a daycare for children, I hope to provide them with a full day of learning and exercise, so when you pick them up they have had as busy a day as you have! They will assuredly be well cared for, loved and even enjoy themselves while you're at work.

“Sheila was quick to respond, and offered our dog Indie a truly wonderful stay. Would highly recommend to all!”

“Kalee and her family did a great job on short notice for a two-day daycare booking. It was Remi's first time with them but we were able to have a meet and greet the week before and that went very well. They liked him and I'm pretty sure he felt the same way. Makes me feel quite comfortable for our original booking which is two weeks away. Glad to have someone close by who can look after Remi when we just don't want to leave him for an overly long day home alone; he doesn't like that very much. Thanks, Kalee!”

“Kayla has done such a great job with my puppy! He adjusted quickly and I even got some pictures of how he was doing.”

“Lisa watches our puppy when we go on vacation and goes above and beyond as a pet sitter. She follows my dogs routine, walks and plays with our puppy and treats him as her own. Our dog is so relaxed, happy and excited when he stays with Lisa. I highly recommend her as a pet giver. Lisa is not only an exceptional caretaker and trainer but friendly, professional, knowledgeable, reliable, efficient and devoted. She demonstrates love and compassion for all animals.”

“Stacy had taken care of our fur baby a couple times. Her home is inviting and she is very attentive. We are glad to have found her.”

“There is no one else I'd trust with my pets more than Diane, my Mom. She and my Dad raised me to be kind to love and be kind to animals and we have had Dogs my whole life. We have always relied on them to watch our dogs (& now kids :)) when we travel. They are great dog people and will go out of their way to ensure anyone's dog is well cared for and pampered.”

“Angelique is an amazing pet sitter! What I love about her is that she is able to keep up with our active Collie mix and snuggle our tiny dog, giving each of them the love and care they need while we are away. She is responsible, loving, and attentive to our pups and maintains communication throughout the stay.”

About: I work in education and currently have an 2 year old Bernese Mountain dog. She is very loving, friendly and playful but definitely never misses an opportunity to nap and lounge around! Whether your furbaby is at my house or I travel to yours, I promise to treat them with all of the love that you would yourself (and even a bit more if that is possible!) I prefer not to stay away overnight as I have my own dogs and rabbit to care for at home but am open to bringing your pet to my house as long as they are house trained and non-destructive! My lifelong dream is to own my own doggy daycare :) I work full time in a high school but have weeknights and weekends available. I also have holiday breaks and summers off so if I am in town I’d love to take care of your pets! I have a fenced yard and very aware of surroundings when walking any dog. My dog is a lot of energy at first but loves sleeping and cuddles when inside. I am currently fostering an in-tact female mill rescue but she absolutely loves playing with other dogs in the yard and thrives outside!

“Excellent experience start to finish. Worked out better than I could have imagained. Mike accommodated us last minute when another canceled. He was a great host to both us and our furbaby. Highly recommend!”

“Super great experience, very accommodating, easy pick up and drop off. Usually my dog doesn’t eat much on her first time staying with someone new, but she ate multiple meals with Dee so she felt comfortable right away! And I always trust my dogs instincts first haha. Would highly recommend, and will definitely be a repeat customer!”
