“Cabri was amazing with Birkin. I was a little nervous as I’ve never left my dog with anyone before, let alone have her around many people. But she blended in so well after she was got comfortable. Cabri sent me pics and videos while I was on my trip and I felt like my dog was in good hands. I’m glad I found a new family member to watch my dog when I go on vacations”

About: I’ve been a fur mom for 15 years. Pets are family members who never leave your side. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and am experienced with training puppies and kittens, dog walks, playtime, and feeding schedules. I’m a stay home mom and have the ability to ensure potty breaks, feeding, play time, and walks when needed any time of the day. I have a fenced in yard that’s on a low traffic court. We have a very friendly golden retriever and Pomeranian who will keep your pet company. I can crate if needed and provide all day comfort in our home. I am a stay at home mom of a 3 and 7 year old who also loves animals.
About: I have been the resident dog sitter for friends and family since I was a child, I finally have a pup of my own, Scout, who loves being around other dogs as much as I do! We love being outside and going on long walks and runs. I am happy to do these with or without Scout based on the needs and comfort level of you and your pup! I work from home full time with flexibility and am able to make most schedules work! Outside of work hours I don’t have many obligations and am very flexible! I have a beautiful walking path behind my house that goes through the woods and offers many new and excited sights and smells for dogs. I do change walking paths frequently to allow my lab to see different things regularly.
“Last min booking for my dog but Nicole & family came through. Kept me informed with updates and pics throughout the day. My dog seemed very happy when I picked him up. Will book again, thanks .”
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.
