Doggy Day Care in Bridgewater

“We dropped Olive with Caroline for the day while we tailgated and attended the Michigan game. Caroline was communicative and flexible with our timing. Olive had such a wonderful time playing with the pups, she slept the whole next day!!”

“Always a fantastic job! I feel so secure going about my plans knowing my dog is not only taken care of but is having a great time here. They send the best pictures of your pet too! Highly recommend”

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.

“We dropped our new pup off to Kayden while we had dinner with friends. Chief had so much fun (he slept for the 2-1/2 hour ride home)! Kayden has a high level of expertise when it comes to pups. You can tell by the progressive report. Will for sure schedule another drop in with Kayden when in the area!”

“Marchin has been great!! He’s so communicative, and makes sure he is doing what is best for your pet!! He has been so helpful and it’s been such a smooth process having him watch my dog!!”

Kayla S.

“Simi has watched Mabel several times now. Simi is very thorough and shares many updates/photos throughout the day which is appreciated. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter option. It’s an added bonus that Simi also has a friendly dog (Shadow) that Mabel can play with during the day. Very happy that I found Simi as a pet sitter option.”

Cody G.

“Great dog sitter! Highly recommend if you are in need of someone in AA! Felt very comfortable trusting her with our maltipoo and she kept us updated throughout the day.”

“Jennifer always does a great job taking care of my two boys! This was their first time having daycare with her and when they came home, they were exhausted! Will continue to see Jennifer for all of my dog care needs :)”

Chelsea G.

“Monica was very patient with us and Taz. We are new to doggie daycare since adopting him a year ago. We did a meet and greet before his first (short) stay, and came up with a plan to get him acclimated to their home and interacting with the other dogs. I appreciated all the photos and the update during his visit.”

Joey B.

“Allyssa did a wonderful job taking care of my dog! She asked thoughtful questions about my dog's needs during the meet and greet. Her communication and attention to detail about our unique situation made me feel like my dog was in great hands.”

Paula S.

“Felt immediately comfortable with Shannon and Oscar and knew that our pup would be in good hands. Their dog got along great with ours, and we picked up a very happy pup at the end of the day. I would absolutely book again and want to give more than 5 stars.”

Megan M.

“Thank you for being so kind and taking care of Cooper. From allowing me to with ahead of time and providing me picture updates as this was my first time leaving him with someone else other than daycare or family.”

Danielle K.

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

Marykay D.

“Arling and Mary took great care of my 8-month-old Pomeranian pup. He was comfortable and content with them and they took him on multiple walks and provided great care! Sent updates and took photos. Would use them again in the future and recommend.”

Kelly Z.

“Katie was very accommodating and took our three dogs in for the night in a very short notice. She took care of the dogs very well and kept us informed on how they were doing. Will use her again if we are back in town.”

About: I am an officer in the Navy and have a dog of my own, so I am ready to shower your dog with attention. I love running with dogs, and have grown up training and taking care of two dogs of my own. I am ready to give your dog the care and love they deserve. My family hosted dogs through Rover when I was a child, so I am fully aware of what this job entails, and the time requirements! I work from home most days so I’ll have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of your dogs. I especially like to move around and get a little exercise in the mornings before work, at lunch, and in the afternoons. I try and keep the environment as similar to what the dog is used to as possible, so as to make them feel the most comfortable.

“So very nice! This was an unplanned trip for a family emergency. I was so lucky that Catherine was available last minute. She was very flexible regarding my needs to visit someone in hospital. My dog was very happy at her home. It was a relief to know he was being taken care of so well. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I can remember! I grew up with 3 dogs and gave them the most loving attention. Friends and family have relied on me to watch, walk, feed and bathe their pets for the last 10 years. I’m currently working in the office on Monday and Tuesday’s and then working from home Wednesday Thursday and Friday’s so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet! I live in an apartment with access to Oz Park which is a block away and I will do anything to put your pets needs first!

About: I have owned/cared for many dogs for over a decade. I am a lifelong pet-lover! I’m very willing to be flexible and tailor my services to your dogs individual needs. I just recently graduated from my graduate program. My schedule will be very open/flexible for the next few months as I wait for my official license to begin my full-time job. I have a small, one-bedroom apartment that allows for close attention to your dog. If staying in your home, I will abide by your instructions for care!

“Katie is just great. Immediately felt comfortable with her and you can tell she has tons of experience. She has a great set up, Rodney had an awesome time and loved hanging out in her deck. Will definitely use her again.”
