Doggy Day Care in Ann Arbor

“My puppy had a great time with Erin! She kept me updated throughout the day with comments and pictures. Overall I felt very comfortable with her care! Hand-off and pick-up were quick, courteous and convenient for my schedule.”

About: Hi there! We accept small to medium-sized dogs (20 pounds max or less) and typically care for no more than 4 dogs at a time. Under our careful supervision, your pup can interact and play freely, enjoying both the house and our spacious, clean, secure and fenced-in backyard. They are not confined to kennels or cages, and can sleep wherever they feel comfortable, whether in the open or in their own crate. We have many nooks and crannies for the pups to relax in and many soft, clean blankets and pillows. They will have ample time outdoors for fresh air, exercise and fun (weather permitting), and the rest of course spent indoors, having fun, resting, playing games (we have many many puzzles and snuffle mats) and occasionally having a yummy, owner approved treat (we don't want upset tummies). They are regularly let out for potty breaks and fresh air every 1 to 2 hours, and never left unattended. WHAT WE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW: We understand each dog has their own personality, likes, dislikes, and temperament. ****A meet-n-greet is required prior to the start of any service.**** -Unless arranged by special request during the week, they are usually on Saturdays and Sundays and by appointment. -Please allow enough time prior to your reservation to arrange for the meet-n-greet. LAST MINUTE REQUESTS: We will do our best to accommodate those in tight spots, but generally we only reserve this option for established clients only. VACCINATIONS: Please ensure your pup is up-to-date with vaccinations before boarding to protect them and our little ones from illnesses. PHOTOS: We know how important peace of mind is, so we send consistent, informative photos/updates/videos of your little one so that you know what they are up to and so that you can rest assured that they are doing well! LOCATION: We are located right outside of Ann Arbor - perfect spot near highways and shops! MEDICATION: Yes, we do provide, however, we do not provide service to pets that are sick/ill/recovering/ or need medical attention during their stay. We do provide service to pets that are in good health but require maintenance medications, with vets' approval. FIRST AID/CPR: As of November 2024, we are actively working on finding a reputable organization to refresh our human and pet first aid and CPR certification! ABOUT OUR LITTLE ONES: Archie and Roxy are our two adorable, little terriers who love to have fun - they would be co-hosting with me. My husband works from home, so there is generally always someone home. Either my husband, who works from home, or I will be on hand to supervise the dogs at all times. Ensuring your dogs' safety is my highest priority. A LITTLE ABOUT US: My husband and I are super responsible, incredibly loving dog parents. I was raised with dogs, and other animals, as was my husband (who grew up on a farm here in Michigan). Combined, we have closer to 20 plus years of experience in taking care of our own furbabies, those of our neighbors, and various other kinds of pets. We've been there, worried and stressed out over having to find someone trustworthy who will treat and love our little ones with the same level of care and concern that we do! Being super loving, very protective, and knowledgeable pet parents ourselves, we know full well how stressful it can be to rely on someone else. We are great communicators and continuously strive to educate ourselves and learn about the best new dog products, services, treats, etc. Please rest assured that we will do our best to answer your questions and concerns. It's always a joy to connect with fellow pet parents who are just as devoted and loving to their family members as we are to ours! My schedule tends to be flexible. My husband works from home as well- it’s a joy to have little ones running around! There is always someone at home with a watchful eye - your pup will never be left alone. The importance of temperament cannot be overstated; if there are particular household rules to increase the comfort of your furbaby, I will follow them to the letter. I would like to know if he/she has any medical issues, special needs, etc. A veterinarian's contact information and instructions would be required if medication is needed - this of course also applies if they have special dietary needs, allergies, etc.

“Kayden took our puppy for 9 hours with only an hours notice! We got frequent updates and several pictures of our puppy during her time at Daycare, which helped us know she was happy! Kayden knew just how to handle our anxious, 1st time visitor and make her feel at ease and keep her happy while we explored the town!”

“Cleo enjoys being with other dogs, and Nick's dog, Jester, was a perfect match for her energy! His yard is perfect for my beagle, Cleo, who loves to sniff and play. She had a great time and came home tired. Nick is very professional, and I appreciate Cleo was given so much enrichment while I was at work. I'll definitely be leaving her with him often!”

“Molly was great! She watched our pup for the day while we were away and it was perfect. She sent a couple of picture updates and took her on a walk before some couch snuggles.”

“we appreciate the quick response to a last minute request. Kristin was great, we will return!”

“Monica and Rizvan are amazing. They care about the well-being and happiness your dog. Very attentive and I enjoyed the pictures and videos of Coconthey shared during the day. Their communication was prompt and was so adaptable to last minute changes. If there were a 5+ stars they would get that.”

Ravindra R.

“Rylee did an excellent job! She kept us informed throughout the day on how the dogs were doing. Very personable and friendly to work with. Both dogs were tired from the day playing.”

About: I grew up in a family with 3 dogs and began caring for pets early on. In addition to walking and feeding my family's dogs, I provided pet sitting services for neighbors and friends. I also spent over 5 years volunteering at the local animal shelter where I assisted with animal care, training, and adoptions. It wasn't long before I was taking foster dogs home with me for the week. Throughout college, I worked at a small animal veterinary clinic, an exotic animal veterinary clinic, and an alpaca farm. I grew experienced taking high quality care of pets with a wide variety of needs. I will be alert to your pets' health and can administer oral medications and fluids as needed. Now, I work as a seasonal wildlife biologist, demonstrating my commitment to animal welfare. I have worked with a wide range of animals including birds, ferrets, snakes, rats, and more. I look forward to caring for your pets on my days off from work and in between my seasonal jobs! I have plenty of time to care for your pet(s) both throughout the week and on weekends. Please contact me to schedule a meet and greet! I am punctual, organized, and communicative. I can care for your pet through feeding, walking, training, and playing. I will ensure your pets' safety and update you with photos and details on how my visit went. I love all animals! Happy to care for rats, ferrets, snakes, guinea pigs, rabbits, etc in addition to dogs and cats.

“Paula is great! So happy Lola is in good hands!”

“We needed all day care for our 14 year old miniature poodle and Jennifer gave us peace of mind while we went about our day. She sent updates and pics and our pooch had a wonderful time. Will definitely use her again if we are in need.”

About: I used to own a business where I would take 15 or more dogs to a farm to play mid day to play. I did that for almost 18 years and then sold my business to pursue comedy. After 6 years, I decided to return to it as I missed being around dogs and having a routine. I take the dogs to a fully fenced one acre property that’s partially wooded. We are there from noon until 1pm, then I take the dogs home RadRoverA2 dot com. I do pick ups 10:30 am until noon, 1 hour of play time, then drop offs from 1 until 2:30. I work Monday through Friday. I will respect your home like it’s my own. I believe in treating people the way you want to be treated. Same goes for pets!

“Marcin has been super great with our dog moonshine. He seems to intuitively know dogs and they bonded immediately. My puppy looks happy and greets Marcin enthusiastically. Thanks Marcin!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young. I have had my own dog for four years and before that I have cared for my friend's and family members' dogs. I also volunteered at a local animal shelter to take the dogs for walks and play with them before I had a dog of my own. I have always loved animals, and I would love to get another dog, but I am hoping Rover will fill the void instead! I work from home and take my dog for a walk three times a day (early morning, lunch, and after dinner), and I would offer the same for your dog. The most time your dog would be alone is ~2 hours during the week and ~4 hours on weekends. I have a fenced-in yard with a dog door for our dogs to play. During the day, I work from home, so I am able to monitor their play. After work, I dedicate time to walk the dogs, play with them in the yard, and snuggle on the couch. Dogs are allowed on furniture and the bed.

About: I’ve personally taken care of dogs for 9 years and always play with them and catch their feelings closely to meet their needs! Really good at potty cleaning and senior care I currently working as part time, so i have a plenty of time for pet sitting and give a lot of attention to the pets as they needed! When visiting client’s home, always look around what to use and expect and listen the client’s advise for the pets. When visiting my home, normally clean and able to use space to run around for the pets

About: I’ve have a dog since I was 5, have been dog walking since the age of 14 and have always been so fond of pets!!! I am now a senior at UMich and have a lot of time on my hands! I am taking only 3 courses so I will be spending most of my time at home! I will be able to spend majority of my time at home, taking care of your pets! My house is super pet-friendly! There are four of us living in the house and we are all super comfortable with dogs. Dogs are allowed in all beds and coaches! I also really enjoy going on walks and a dog would be an awesome addition!

About: I have 2 dogs of my own at home and have been missing them so much! I have had so much experience training and taking care of my own dogs and would love to help you take care of yours ❤️ I am currently a student at University of Michigan but would love to help take care of dogs in between classes and in the afternoon! I don’t have classes back to back so would be able to walk them throughout the day :) I have 4 roommates who all love dogs. We give the dogs so much attention and play with them constantly! We also love walking dogs!!

“Winkler was amazing, so accommodating of our changing schedule and gave great updates and pictures of our puppy! We will absolutely use him again!”
