Doggy Day Care in Dexter

“Kayden took our puppy for 9 hours with only an hours notice! We got frequent updates and several pictures of our puppy during her time at Daycare, which helped us know she was happy! Kayden knew just how to handle our anxious, 1st time visitor and make her feel at ease and keep her happy while we explored the town!”

“My puppy had a great time with Erin! She kept me updated throughout the day with comments and pictures. Overall I felt very comfortable with her care! Hand-off and pick-up were quick, courteous and convenient for my schedule.”

Kate V.

“This was my first time using Rover with my new fur baby, and it was his first time at a doggie daycare! Jennifer was very kind and helpful the whole time. She was reassuring every step of the way and sent videos and pictures to update me. She made sure my dog would be successful with socialization and he made a new friend! If we need more socialization or daycare she will be the first person I go to!”

“Can’t say enough nice things about the experience! Jina was very kind and kept good communication with me and even sent some pics during my boys first time being dog-sat. Good location on the way to south haven beach!”

“William (and Cara!) did a fantastic job with my boy Otis. Otis was still recovering from a medical procedure and they kept me updated constantly, made sure he received attention and snacks, and made me feel at ease while I was still nervous about letting him out of my sight. Otis left very happy, and I will recommend them to anyone else who needs a doggy Daycare.”

“Michael took great care of our Noodle. This was our first time leaving our puppy with anyone and Michael made sure to take great care to make Noodle comfortable. I also appreciated the updates and pictures he sent showing Noodle was having a good time. I'll be booking with Michael again.”

“Cleo enjoys being with other dogs, and Nick's dog, Jester, was a perfect match for her energy! His yard is perfect for my beagle, Cleo, who loves to sniff and play. She had a great time and came home tired. Nick is very professional, and I appreciate Cleo was given so much enrichment while I was at work. I'll definitely be leaving her with him often!”

Ashley P.

“My dog has pretty severe separation anxiety as well as fear of other dogs. It has been challenging finding the right caretaker for him. Richard and Sarah have been fantastic with Guinness and he enjoys his time there. A little out of the way to get him there but worth it because of how great Richard and Sarah are with our boy.”

Denise M.

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

Marykay D.

“Monica and Razvan are the best!! My pup, Oakley, is a bit shy and they were incredibly patient and kind. Soon enough he was running around like it was hit own home!! They asked helpful questions when we first met and it was evident that they really got to know him and his personality throughout his stay. Plus, he was super tired and happy when he came home. We can’t wait to book another stay!!!”

Caroline Z.

“Moose enjoyed his time with Jo!”

Matthew N.

“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!!”

About: I grew up in a family with 3 dogs and began caring for pets early on. In addition to walking and feeding my family's dogs, I provided pet sitting services for neighbors and friends. I also spent over 5 years volunteering at the local animal shelter where I assisted with animal care, training, and adoptions. It wasn't long before I was taking foster dogs home with me for the week. Throughout college, I worked at a small animal veterinary clinic, an exotic animal veterinary clinic, and an alpaca farm. I grew experienced taking high quality care of pets with a wide variety of needs. I will be alert to your pets' health and can administer oral medications and fluids as needed. Now, I work as a seasonal wildlife biologist, demonstrating my commitment to animal welfare. I have worked with a wide range of animals including birds, ferrets, snakes, rats, and more. I look forward to caring for your pets on my days off from work and in between my seasonal jobs! I have plenty of time to care for your pet(s) both throughout the week and on weekends. Please contact me to schedule a meet and greet! I am punctual, organized, and communicative. I can care for your pet through feeding, walking, training, and playing. I will ensure your pets' safety and update you with photos and details on how my visit went. I love all animals! Happy to care for rats, ferrets, snakes, guinea pigs, rabbits, etc in addition to dogs and cats.

“Always amazing! I never have to worry about my fur baby when he is with Shannon”

“Molly was great! We were traveling to town for just a brief visit and she agreed to watch our pup at the last minute for 2 consecutive days. I would highly recommend her!”

About: My Mixed pup (5 months) enjoys having new friends over. I guarantee unlimited scritches and all of the tennis balls for fetching. Taken care of pups for the last 10 years. Available to walk, board or feed your pup when you are away on a trip. Available on evenings, most weekends and public holidays. Last minute trip coming up? I got you. Available for early morning and evening walk schedules, meals and medicines. My 5 month mixed pup is welcoming and ready to play with your fur puppy. Have a large yard for sniffs and poop breaks. My pup sleeps in a crate and isn't allowed on furniture, if you would like please bring a crate for their comfort.

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.

“Paula is great! So happy Lola is in good hands!”

“Lauren has been watching my Daisy for a couple weeks now and she is awesome!! Daisy loves her and already knows when we turn down her street that she’s going to daycare. Highly recommend!!”

“My dog had a great stay with Jim today. She was kept active, taken to swim, fetched, played in a fenced in yard-- everything you really could ask for when looking for care for your pet. So appreciate the time he took to ask me questions, he had a plan for what he wanted to go and do -- a true dog lover. When I need someone again in the future, he's my call. Thank you, Jim.”
