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!

“We took our two dogs to Alice for a day trip - we were headed to Lake Michigan, and wanted to be sure the dogs were well cared-for. Alice was very cordial and her instructions clear. The dogs seem happy and content, and I couldn't believe the report on the dogs I received by email! It was a wonderful thing to see that they were doing well. Nice touch! No doubt a lot of work for Alice, but it is appreciated. We'll definitely book with Alice again. Happy dogs are very important to us.”

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

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.

“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!!”

“My dog (Leo) was very happy at Ellen’s. She kept updating me with pictures of Leo. Ellen’s house has a yard which allowed for Leo to run around, which he loves to do. I would definitely recommend Ellen!”

“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!”

“Quinn ran in the door heading straight for the toys Yulia had prepared. He enjoyed himself, went right to sleep as soon as we got home. We will definitely check if Yulia is available if we need day care in Michigan again.”

“It’s amazing. Although it is the daycare, 6 videos are taken and we are happy to see that my dog play well with other dog. When she came back my home, she fall sleep immediately. I bet she definitely had a nice and fun time in here! Also, I had nice conversations and feedback after day care. Love it and really appreciate they take care of my dog.”
