Doggy Day Care in Brant

“We highly recommend Joni!!! She has a great setup for the dogs she cares for. We are visiting in the area and needed a sitter for the day. So glad we found Joni. She was very accommodating for our rescue dog that has separation anxiety. Cruiser even got along very well with the other visiting dog. We will definitely use Joni again when we are back in the area. By the way, she makes FANTASTIC Amish friendship bread!!!! Thank you so much Joni.”

“Jennifer and her family were wonderful with Loki. He can be very timid and they allowed us to come for a "Meet & Greet" the day before our stay, which helped him be more comfortable. Thanks for the photos and the care you gave to Loki during his stay. We will be back again:)”

“Thank you Natasha from the bottom of my heart for taking Yogi at last minute. He was so tired on the way home. It was a great day and I’d bring him to your lovely home anytime.”

“Jennifer was awesome as always. This was our second time using her services. She is great with communication and she tired our puppies out with walks, playtime with other dogs, and just giving them so much love. She really treats them like family. She is great at reading dog behavior and she goes above and beyond meeting thier needs. We will definitely be our first choice anytime we need someone to watch our pups!”

About: Hi, I'm Martha. Welcome to a home where your dog/s will be treated like family! With over 40 years of experience with dogs, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment tailored to your pet's needs. My spacious, fenced yard is perfect for fun activities like fetch and agility, ensuring your dog gets plenty of exercise and playtime. I'm new to Rover, but I have never met a dog that didn't love me. Let me pamper your pooch in my home where they can thrive, play, and relax. Your dog’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I can’t wait to welcome them into my home! Caring for your pet fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I work from home. I can provide constant companionship, ensuring your dog/s receives attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. Safety is my top priority, non-aggressive breeds only. I will host up to 3 pets at a time, ensuring your dog/s receives individualized attention and care. I follow a consistent routine for feeding, exercise, and potty breaks, and I will only feed your pet the foods you approve - no table scraps or human food. My spacious, fenced yard ensures your dog will get plenty of exercise and playtime. Cozy lounging spots are scattered throughout my home for rest and relaxation after a day of fun. I do require a "Meet and Greet" prior to hosting your pet/s.

About: Hi there! I'm an experienced pet care professional with years in the industry — including managing a busy pet resort — and I would be thrilled to care for your furry family members! Your pets will enjoy a cozy stay in my home, with access to the entire home, complete with a dedicated “dog room," cameras in every room of the home for 24/7 surveillance and a large 6-foot privacy-fenced backyard for safe outdoor play. I’m Pet CPR Certified and a Fear Free Certified Professional, trained to recognize and respond to signs of fear, stress, and anxiety in pets. I provide a peaceful, low-stress environment where your pet can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments — including seniors, shy pets, high-energy dogs, and those with anxiety or aggression. I'm also comfortable giving: -Pills and tablets -Injections (including insulin) -Inhalers and specialized care ✅ Dual Insured: I carry private pet care insurance in addition to Rover’s protection, so you can feel 100% confident that your pet is in safe, reliable hands. 🩺 Vaccination Requirements: Dogs: Rabies, Distemper (DHPP), Bordetella Cats: Rabies, Distemper (FVRCP) Puppies/Kittens: Must be current on age-appropriate vaccines I highly recommend flea/tick/dewormer prevention for all pets. Please upload or send a clear photo of your pet’s vaccination records when requesting a booking. To keep things safe and low-stress for everyone, I do board multiple dogs at a time and have a few requirements in place: ✅ Dogs must be: Crate trained (see below for details) Up to date on Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella vaccines Why crate training matters: I use crates for short, structured times—like during meals or if I need to step out of the home briefly. It’s a key safety practice that allows me to separate dogs calmly, securely and safely when needed. Each dog has their own designated crate space during these short periods, made to feel cozy and familiar. Private boarding option available: If you’d prefer your dog to be the only guest during their stay, I offer the option to book a private retreat—meaning no other dogs will be scheduled at the same time. To reserve the space exclusively for your pet, you’ll need to book all (4) available boarding spots for those dates, as this ensures I can block off my calendar to honor your request. This is ideal for dogs who prefer more one-on-one attention or a quieter setting.

“First time using Rover, and choosing Sarah did not disappoint! My pup is happy to show up everytime I take him. She’s great with training tips, and updates throughout the day. Giving you peace of mind ? highly recommend!!”

“This was a get to know each other stay before the 3 day, 4 night stay coming up. I wanted Angel to feel comfortable. I should have known she would. Angel started playing as soon as I put her down.”

About: Hello! I’m a passionate, aspiring dog trainer with a special love for German Shepherds. I recently raised a litter of puppies, which deepened my understanding of early puppy development and the importance of critical socialization. That experience sparked a stronger interest in training and caring for dogs during their most impressionable stages and beyond. I’m currently expanding my hands-on experience and would love the opportunity to care for your dog—whether it’s through boarding, walks, or helping with basic training and structure. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely dedicated to each dog’s unique needs. Whether you have a playful pup or a more mature dog, I’m here to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment. Let’s give your dog a happy, enriching experience! I’m currently doing pet care full time with aspirations of starting my very own dog training program one day. I’m soaking up all of the experience I can get right now. My backyard is secured by a 6ft wooden privacy fence and features a 900sqft barn which has multiple crates for dogs of all sizes. My house is dog friendly as well being completely puppy proofed.

“We were very happy with Rachel. She is very professional. The puppies all seemed excited to see her. We hoped to have her pet sit for us again.”

“I'm SO thankful to Lynda for watching my big, anxious boy! I was in town camping at bay City with my dog and friends and realized the weather was far too hot for him to be outside all day so I found Lynda last minute to take Atlas during the day when it was the hottest and she accomadated my last minute request! My Atlas can be skiddish and anxious easily and he ended up having a fantastic time I was so pleased and it was such a weight off my shoulders to know he was well taken care of! She sent pictures, videos and updates the whole time. Highly recommend!”

“Jaiden did amazing with my pup. She kept her for two 12hr days. My pup was very happy. She sent me pictures as the day went on and treated my baby like one of her own. I would definitely recommend her! Thank you so much”

“Henry's stay with Vickie was the first time we used Dog Vacay. I was a bit nervous and apprehensive leaving my boy for the day with a stranger. From the minute Vickie came out to greet us I knew Henry was going to be well taken care!!! She has a very calm and easy going personality that I really liked. She had Henry come in and she brought her dogs in one at a time to meet Henry to see how they would do together. Then we went outside to show him the back yard and to meet another dog that was staying there. I felt great with no concerns about leaving Henry in Vickie's care. Henry had a great time there and slept like a baby when we got home. Thanks for taking good care of our Henry Vickie.”

About: I have had animals in my home for my entire life. And I do truly enjoy spending time with all animals, They keep me active. I'm currently not working which leaves me lots of time to walk, play & nap with my dog and other dogs during the day time. I have a nice grassy with cement area fenced in yard with ample shade & a friendly dog to play with & to keep other dogs company.

About: I have taken care of and owned dogs for over 14 years. I have cared for a wide age range of dogs from puppy to elderly dogs. I am a stay at home mom who is available all day to care for your pet and show them the love and affection they need. I provide round the clock care for your dog and take frequent walks. Our yard is not currently fenced in but we have a tie out that allows them to spend time outdoors safely as well as frequent walks for exercise. I always introduce the animals one at a time and never leave them alone together.

About: I consider pets to be part of our family. Any dog/cat that stays with me will receive the same attention and care as my own fur babies. Your dog/cat will be temporarily adopted into our family, where they will receive lots of love, pets, belly rubs, toys, and playtime. I proivide stress-free care for your furry family member(s) so that you can enjoy your vacation or focus at work. I am happy to care for animals who have special needs having done so often during my tenure of caring for pets. For example, I have had a client with a diabetic dog who needed insulin shots; one of my cats has asthma causing me to become quite skilled at administering medicine to unimpressed cats. If your dog needs socialization or training, I can help with the basics. All training is based on positive reinforcement with treats and verbal cues. For an additional fee, I would be happy to work with your dog while they stay with me or when I walk/visit them if they need basic obedience training. For socialization, I have a 1-year-old dog who is overly friendly and would be happy to help your dog learn that other dogs can be friends. I recently graduated with my Ph.D. and am searching for a career. In the meantime, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for your pet. For boarding or day sitting, dogs will be walked 1-2 times daily and offered an array of toys and chews for their entertainment. Dogs that love to play fetch will have the opportunity for "playtime," where they can chase a ball outside in a fenced-in yard. I use a long leash for places without a fence that gives the dog a leash-free experience. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on my or my husband's lap for extra snuggles. If I need to leave my home and your dog is there, I prefer to crate your dog to ensure their safety and the safety of the other animals in the home. I provide ample blankets and beds to keep your dog warm and comfy. I ensure adult dogs are not crated for more than 6 hours, and puppies are not crated for more than 2 hours (unless they are very young and need constant supervision).

About: I have always had fit babies growing up and love them all. Why leave them alone when they can have someone to play with all day I am unemployed right now so I have all the time to focus on caring for your fur babies. It's better for them to be entertained than to be caged out tripping up your home.... Right. I have a fenced in yard. Plenty of toys.... And a friendly little boxer who loves me friends. Oh and she also has a human sister too 😂.

“Michelle was very pleasant and very responsive to messages. Her home is clean and plenty of spaces where our Winter can freely roam. Will book again as the need arise.”

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of various ages and temperaments. I currently have two dogs of my own, a 3 year old and an 8 year old, both of whom I’ve raised from a young age. One of my dogs is an indoor companion, while the other is a well-trained outdoor dog. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have shown dogs of various breeds and have collaborated with breeders, which has provided me with valuable insight into different training techniques and dog behaviors. I’m passionate about spending quality time with dogs, whether it’s through daily walks, adventures on rail trails, or simply enjoying their company. I believe that understanding and adapting to each dog’s unique personality is key to providing exceptional care and building a strong bond. My approach focuses on trust, consistency, and creating a positive environment tailored to each dog’s needs. I work full-time as a CNA, in long term care facility. I have a set schedule and work three days a week which leaves me time to spend time with your fur babies. I work every Tuesday, and every other Wednesday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday. At times, I will have 5 days off in a row. I have time on my days off to stay home with them and spend as much time as possible. I provide exceptional care for animals in a comfortable, home-like environment. In my home, I ensure that all their needs are met, including medication administration, playtime, and baths upon request. I offer a variety of toys and treats to keep them engaged and happy. Additionally, I have a dedicated, remodeled dog room equipped with everything a dog could need for a safe and enjoyable stay.
