Doggy Day Care in Allegan

“Deborah and her beautiful family did a fantastic job of caring for my dog! He was spoiled with lots of attention and play time. I was sent lots of photos and videos depicting how he adjusted and had lots of fun. I also want to mention their flexibility with pick up/drop off as well as their kindness in being able to care for him longer than planned when I was experiencing a medical emergency. They will definitely see my sweet boy again soon :)”

About: My husband and I are dog lovers who both grew up with dogs and have owned our own dogs! We are currently dogless and would love to fill that itch with dog sitting your dog! I work from home and am available throughout the week to socialize with your dog and we have a house with a yard for exercise. Since I am home, I am available to do dog walks and there are plenty of woods around me to take them to explore Every dog immediately becomes our babies for the stay. Lots of love and cuddles so they feel right at home and comfortable while you are away

“I had a last minute trip to Grand Rapids for work and spent time looking for the perfect fit to watch my 7 mo old puppy during the day. Once I came across Anne’s profile, I’d hoped for a good experience and let me tell you, Anne and her family were absolutely amazing! They were super attentive to my pup — taking him for walks, allowing him to play with their animals, and maintaining structure for him by encouraging rest time, and correcting his behavior. Every time I came to pick him up, he was so sad to leave and he was super excited to be back at their house each time I dropped him off! I can’t sing their praises enough, it means the world to me that they helped me in a pinch and that they did an exceptional job! Any time I return to the area, Anne will be my go-to everytime!”

About: I have had dogs and cats in my home for 50 years. I absolutely love pets, and treat them like they are just part of the family! I am retired so I have plenty of time to pet sit. I have always loved pets and would enjoy making sure your fur baby is content and happy. I live on a private road in a rural so traffic is mostly very minimal. However, I do leash walk pets so they are safe.

“I work from home, but had to travel for an all day training event. Luckily, Kim was able to keep my two Frenchies for the day. She sent so many great photos and updated me on how they were doing throughout the day. They came home happy, exhausted boys and snoozed the night away. Leaving our pups with anyone is such a very stressful event for us as our boys are family. Kim made the process less worrisome for us by sending the pictures, updates and quickly responding to my texts. We will be back! ?”

I’m your home I would just ask you tell me what makes your dog/cat most comfortable!

“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Bob was able to pick up Edison from my hotel 20 minutes away from his house and watched him all day while I was working. What I got in return was a very happy and tired dog! Bob sent me updates throughout the day to let me know how Edison was doing, and with a large fenced-in yard my dog was able to roam free with the other dogs. I will definitely use Bob again if I'm staying in the Kalamazoo area and I would recommend you do too!”

About: Prior to moving out to Colorado I had been working with farm animals, then slowly transitioned to house pets. At the time I had dogs of my own that had been trained by me and through a professional. The biggest takeaway from all of these experiences is how each animal has their own individual personality and how they need their own individual care! This fact truly shines through in my care for each pet owners animals, It will be just a little bit different every day because all your pets have their own personalities that need to excepted and gently cared for each day. I have worked with animals that had been abused by previous owners and in the long run ended up with a reactive personality either around other people or other pets, I understand that it can be fairly overwhelming to try and find someone that can handle their care in such a way that leaves the pet feeling better safe and grounded. I currently work as a solo aesthetician, which allows me to have a highly flexible schedule. I’m blessed with the flexibility I have throughout the week because it leaves room to fully give my 100% for each fur-baby as if they were my own. We all agree our pets are family they have seen us in manage stages and vise-versa. They deserve the best care! I want you all to trust my intentions and firmly stand confident in care for your pups. I’m currently working as a solo aesthetician, which leaves my availability wide open for the care of your pets. Recently, there has been a few previous clients that I’ve had that request me once in a while, but it wouldn’t get in the way of pet care. When it comes to your house, your pup will be exercise fed, played with cuddled with as much as they need and want! I also want to check in with every parent and make sure that they are comfortable with what I’ve normally done with my pups. I never want to cross boundaries you need to be just as comfortable with my capability as your pup! I have a client that I housesit for and her pups have specific medication‘s and have foods for their diet, and I make sure that I always feed them on the top for when they need to be fed and never skip out on their medication‘s which shows my responsibility and dedication for your babies.
