Dog Boarding in Ann Arbor

“We had an absolutely great experience leaving our dog with Darcy and Dan for a full week. From the start, they were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and easy to communicate with, which immediately put us at ease. They sent us daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated, and it was clear our dog was happy and well cared for. Even with cold weather, they made the effort to play with her and keep her energy levels in check. When it got too cold outside, they were thoughtful and flexible, making adjustments to ensure she was still comfortable and getting the attention she needed. Their yard is a great size—good for a high-energy dog—and it was obvious they genuinely enjoy spending time with the dogs they care for. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would absolutely trust them again in the future. We highly recommend Darcy and Dan to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitters!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family didn’t have a dog of our own, so I became the go-to dog sitter in my neighborhood. I would walk, play with, and care for other people’s pets whenever I had the chance. That early experience turned into a genuine passion for understanding dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their family was away. As soon as I had my own home, I adopted a puppy and fully committed to raising and training him with love and respect. I’ve trained him to walk off-leash, respond reliably to both vocal and hand signals, and comfortably travel on airplanes. Through this, I’ve gained hands-on experience with structured training, consistency, and reading dog behavior. I treat every dog like part of the family. My own dog gets multiple walks a day, regular playtime, and a lot of affection. I bring that same level of care to every dog I watch. I’m especially attentive to a dog’s energy levels, routines, and personality, making sure they get the right balance of exercise, structure, and affection. What sets me apart is a combination of experience, attention to detail, and genuine care. I’m comfortable with active dogs who need exercise and engagement, as well as reinforcing good habits and basic training. My goal is always to make your dog feel at home and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home full-time, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day and available to meet your dog’s needs whether that’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just companionship. During work hours, I structure my day so dogs are never left unattended for long. If I’m in meetings, I have comfortable dog beds in my office so pups can relax nearby and still feel included and at ease. Outside of that, I build in time for walks, outdoor play, and engagement throughout the day. I provide a safe, structured, and flexible environment tailored to each dog’s needs. At my home, I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, along with access to nearby parks for longer walks and exercise. I can also use long leads when appropriate to give dogs more freedom while still maintaining control and safety while playing at the park. I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality and comfort level. My own dog is an active doodle who requires a lot of exercise and stimulation, so I’m already in a routine of providing consistent activity, enrichment, and supervision. Visiting dogs can join in on walks and play if they enjoy social interaction, or I can provide more one-on-one attention if that’s what they’re used to. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of stress to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. Cleanliness, supervision, and clear communication with owners are always top priorities so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands.

“So happy with Erin and Jeff. Our dog has separation anxiety so we wanted somewhere he could stay for our extended trip where he felt at home. We did a few visits before our long trip so he would know Erin and Jeff. When we dropped him off this time he went right in their home and made it his own. And they celebrated having him, and helped him stay comfortable. We were gone for 2 weeks and he had an awesome time! He was very happy to see us, but for showed NO signs of stress or rushing to get home. He had an awesome time! Regular walks, play time with other dogs, playing with Jeff, couch and bedtime cuddles often. Erin and Jeff are winners. We're already scheduled for a future weekend! 5 stars !”

“Monica and Razvan have a strong commitment to safety for the dogs in their care, which we really appreciate. They sent us photos and videos of our dog throughout her 2 week stay with them. We could really tell that she was happy and having fun every day. Overall, we were very happy with their service and care!”
