Doggy Day Care in Bunker Hill

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs for over 30 years and have provided backup support for a very successful petting sitting service for over 7 years. I’m currently working part-time. I’m a widow with grown children that live on their own. I have a Pomeranian of my own who is 10 years old. I’m available often. I have a small dog of my own to keep your pup company. Your pup will be leashed when walked around my circular HOA community

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have a 12 year old Doberman, a 2 year old pitbull mix, 4 black cats, 2 donkeys, 6 chickens and a parakeet. In the recent past, I worked as a temporary Animal Care Technician at the Ingham County Animal Control which gave me experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and cats with different behaviors. I also learned a lot about giving medications and vaccines, animal enrichment, feeding guidelines and more. I am very interested in dog training so your dogs will get some free training as I am sure I will be practicing any new techniques I learn with my clients! Recently I opened a small dog daycare a mile down the road from my home. Any dog that stays with me will likely get to go down to play with other dogs during the day. If you would like to learn more, just ask! Pet Care is my full time job. I love what I do. Please see my calendar or check with me on my availability for specific dates and times. BOARDING: Any dog I board must get along with my dogs. We will set up a free Meet and Greet at my home before the visit gets booked to make sure it will be a good fit. I have a large fenced in back yard but can also take your dog for daily walks if you prefer. We do also have 2 donkeys that share a fence line with our backyard area. They are used to dogs and have never broken through the fence. I always treat others pets as my own. I interact with them with patience, gentleness and love. I only use positive reinforcement. I am an active person and love to play ball and go for walks or slow jogs, but I also love to cuddle with any furry friends. Pets are family!

About: Been around dogs since birth. I understand dogs better than I understand people. Trained my dogs to do basic stuff within first couple days of having them and won't have a problem doing the same with yours if wanted. Open to any dates at any time of the day. Currently this is my only job to try to get enough experience to open my own board and train My dogs free roam around the yard. Neither of them step outside the boundaries I have established for them. No shock collars, no invisible fence needed just a firm understanding between my dogs and I

“Alice is great. Mason came home happy and tired from a full day of playing with his new friends and slept like a rock. Will for sure be using again.”

About: I have a very dog and cat friendly place to call home. Most days I am outside working around the property and the dogs are out with us. I’ve raised our dogs from 8 weeks old and the Labs are obedience trained and have taken their Canine Good Citizen class to hopefully be Therapy dogs soon. Our Pug is the youngest and raised by the Labs and of course, me. In the evenings it’s relax in the chair time. The dogs love to snuggle up and just nap after playing outside. I make my own work schedule and am able to fit work around pets. Usually only leaving the dogs for an errand run here and there. I go outside with all dogs and walk them on the property. I feed 2 times a day plus a snack or whatever is necessary for any visiting pet along with fresh water at all times. All pets have free range of the house day and night unless otherwise requested. I have an outdoor kennel for nice days if they need to be outside for a little while.

“So great! My pup had so much fun and received excellent care. Nicole was flexible, communicative, and I will definitely book again when in the area :)”

“Ellen was great, and our Darla LOVED her country-like property. And Ellen sent us several photos abd notes during the short time Darla was there”

“Jason and Kristen have taken such great care of our dog Eddie. He usually has separation anxiety, but always RUNS to their door to be played with and cared for by this family. My requests and quirks are respected, photos are sent and communication response is as close to immediate as one can be. I rest easily knowing my dog is in responsible, caring hands!!”

“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!!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover currently studying Zoology, with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets of all personalities. I share my home with my Treeing Walker Coonhound, Bear, three cats, and several degus, and I’m especially experienced with shy, anxious, and sensitive animals. The only pets I’m not able to care for are spiders or tarantulas due to arachnophobia, but all other animals will be cared for with patience, respect, and the same love I give my own. While attending college online for my Zoology degree, I maintain a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care and meet a variety of client needs. I’m able to provide consistent, reliable care throughout the day and week. I care for pets by following their established routines and providing a calm, safe, and attentive environment, whether in my home or a client’s home. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I focus on exercise, enrichment, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship, while closely following any specific instructions. For in-home sitting or boarding, I provide a structured routine, close supervision, positive reinforcement, and regular updates so pet parents can feel confident and informed while they’re away.

“Susan is communicative and kind, and a true animal lover! I could tell my dog was in good hands 😊”

“We are the first timer as we are new to this place with no reference. We took a decision to go with Dustin and Sarah with our gut feeling and it turned out to be such an amazing experience. They are extremely welcoming and treated my pet like their own family member. I will be definitely recommending them as a great people to take care of your pet.”

“Yulisa took such great care of our dog Cooper during his daycare stay! She was attentive, kind, and clearly experienced. Cooper had a wonderful time playing with her and came home happy and relaxed. We really appreciated the updates and her thoughtful care throughout the day. Highly recommend Yulisa — we’d love to book with her again!”

“I was super nervous before dropping off my Ollie but once I met Rodney and talked to him, my nerves were calmed. He made sure to give me updates throughout the day and sent me pictures of guy max'in and relax'in. I will for sure be using him again”

“Kimberly was super flexible and great with our 7 month old pup, Maggie! She communicated well with us ahead of time and made the whole process smooth as we were navigating Rover for the first time. Her dog Sparky got along great with our dog and Maggie was nice and tired out in the evening. Thanks again!”

“Victoria & Rishi are incredible. They were responsive, kind, thoughtful about their day report back, and overall lovely folks. Their home was clean and perfectly organized for pup play. They were thoughtful to integrate their own dogs slowly on Winston’s behalf. Overall, I am SO grateful I found them. I completely trust their discretion and never once felt myself worried about leaving Winston in their care. In addition, Winston was so exhausted after daycare, which means he was able to play hard. I cannot recommend these two enough! I will definitely use their services again in the future.”

“Avery was nice, flexible and did a great job caring for our P'nut Butter. She walked her and cuddled her...and that's really all that P'nut ever needs! I hope Avery can be a permanent dog sitter for our pup. Thanks!”

About: I've taken care of family and friends dogs for about 30 years. I can train puppy and adult dog in basic obedience. For senior dogs will be more attentive and show love. If you have a special need's dog such as leg wheelchair or any type of disability and I would love to learn how to take care of it. I will love them back with all my heart. I understand their disabilities and will give them a great care at 100%. I'm working a part-time on flexible days. I still find time to spends with dogs. I love to play with your fur babies. I will walk the fur babies on a daily routine. I use leach in the backyard since there is no fence yard. I live in a townhouse and do not have fence yard. I use 20 feet leach attached to my deck. I will take them to the dog parks, which I enjoyed to see them run and play.

“Deborah was amazing with our 1 year old Labrador! Perfect home with fenced in yard for lots of playtime with her own pup. The two dogs were perfect playmates and even took a neighborhood walk! Highly recommended for a caring, loving home for your pet's care.”
