Doggy Day Care In Forest Park

“I 100% recommend Kayla! She’s very caring and attentive, and makes sure my dog’s needs are met. I feel confident knowing my dog is in such good hands.”

“Jessica is amazing with our new puppy! She was able to accommodate us on short notice, which we really appreciated. She walked him, fed him, played with him, and even introduced him to other little puppies so he could socialize. She greeted me warmly and treated both of us with such kindness. Our pup came home happy and tired from all the fun. We will definitely be coming back!”

“Karen was a great help with Luna when I unexpectedly had to leave the dog home alone for a VERY long day. She came over to give her cuddle and pee breaks and a trip to Barkside, Luna’s home away from home. 💕 Even went the extra mile to clean up a little dog mess. Thanks!!!!!”

“Super friendly family. I felt comfortable leaving my dog for the day at their house. They made me feel comfortable by offering to meet up before providing service. Their dog is super friendly which was great company for my puppy.”

“Daniella is the best! She took amazing care of our little angel, Millie, on almost no notice when we visited Detroit for an event. We had searched high and low for a daycare center in the area before happening upon Rover.com. Daniella was extremely flexible and accommodating with our evolving schedule. Millie loved her at first sight and was well entertained during her stay. We can't say enough good things about Daniella!”

About: I’m not just a dog sitter—I’m a calming, comforting presence your pup can rely on. With patience, affection, and a natural ability to put dogs at ease, I create a stress-free, loving environment that feels like home. I currently work from home with flexible hours so I have plenty of time to spare. My daily routine allows me to manage being available and home to take care of the pups I provide a safe, calm, and dependable environment where pets feel completely secure. I prioritize consistency, gentle handling, and close attention to each pet’s needs, creating a trustworthy space where they can relax, feel understood, and thrive while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’ve fostered both dogs and cats throughout all four years of college, including caring for sick pets and administering medications when needed. Animals have always been a huge part of my life—so much so that my family genuinely thought I would grow up to be a veterinarian. I’m currently a medical student and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and truly love providing a safe, calm, and affectionate environment for them. My partner Matthew is occasionally around and helps lend an extra hand, but I am always the primary caregiver responsible for your pet’s care. I have a flexible schedule and spend much of my time at home studying, which allows me to provide consistent care, walks, and attention throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening routines, and I keep my schedule light when I’m caring for a pet to make sure they feel comfortable and well looked after. I live in a cozy, clean apartment in a very walkable area near the DIA. My building is extremely pet-friendly and even offers dog treats in the lobby. I provide a calm, safe environment and give each pet plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I follow owners’ routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs, so your pet feels comfortable and at home.

“Ashley was so easy to book with, and sent great updates and photos of my dog Harry. He came from the visit happy and rested, I will definitely book with her again if I’m ever in the area again.”

“Natalia was incredibly attentive with my dog. I have zero complaints and would book again. Thank you so much, Natalia! Arthur came back very happy and tired.”

Fernando A.

“Lauren was great, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the whole experience. Lauren was so nice and professional, always punctual. Her rate is incredibly fair, too. And my dog, Fern, got two of her fave things while there: to sit with a human and to watch the neighborhood from a window. I now like Rover a lot more than transitional dog day care places, and most of that has to do with Lauren. Will definitely be back.”

About: Hi ! My name is Victoria and I am undoubtedly a pet lover. I am a local college student hoping to provide the best care to your pets as possible. I have been taking care of dogs and cats for most of my entire life. I am a Veterinary Assistant at a Veterinarian Hospital. I have knowledge of what to do in most cases with pets including the basics of walking and feeding the pet. I can also give injections to the pet or feed them medication. I have a 4 year old Golden Retriever who is full of energy, he loves accompanying me on long walks! Due to his energy level and age, we walk 2 miles a day. I look forward to meeting and take care of your pet. I am very accommodating when it comes to people schedules and preferences. I work a short schedule since I am a full time student 😊 I love to take dogs on walks, play fetch in my backyard or explore the park in my neighborhood! If there are any commands you are working on, I would love to help keep the training going while you are away. I have crates available if you are interested in learning how to crate train your fur baby! I currently work part time while attending school full time which means I’m available for all your dog/cat needs for any special events or last minute vacations! I will always love your pet just like they’re my own. I pay attention to small details and will continue to update you with pictures and videos.

“Tara took great care of our dog Marvin—this was the second time they’ve watched him, and both experiences have been excellent. They were responsive, reliable, and clearly have a natural way with animals. Marvin was happy and relaxed when we picked him up and excited to return for his second stay, which says a lot. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Tara again and highly recommend them as a sitter.”

“Friendly, professional, compassionate, attentive,.courteous and so much more...Beverly is a phenomenal caretaker for my precious little furrbaby. She communicated with me regularly during her first visit and that put my mind at ease. I only have positive things to say about my experience and plan to rebook. Thanks Beverly 💎”

These outdoor spaces give pups a mix of freedom and calm, so they can stretch their legs, sniff around, and have fun in a secure, peaceful setting. If you crate your dog (its safe place), please be sure to bring it along.

About: Hi, my name is Brandon and I am a first year Masters student studying Biomedical Engineering. Animals have been a part of my life since my earliest memories. I've raised birds, turtles, snakes, iguanas, hamsters, cats and of course dogs. Whether your pup needs hours of fetch and park adventures or gentle walks and medication management, I adapt to their unique needs, diets, and energy level. I work from home and between myself and my girlfriend, it is rare for me to leave my pet alone for more than 1 hr. I have easy access to numerous parks within walking distance including Belle Isle. Your pet will not be starved for attention. My goal is to make your dog’s time with me feel like a happy stay-cation. Expect daily walks, individualized attention, plenty of rest when needed, and regular photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands With years of experience across all breeds and temperaments, I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new. I'm here to make that experience stress-free for both you and your dog, providing the reliable, communicative, and loving care they deserve. I welcome questions, meet-and-greets, and will always aim to make you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. Working from home affords me the time and flexibility to give my high maintenance corgi the attention she deserves. She’s rarely alone for more than one hour at a time. The first and most important step in caring for a new dog is to establish trust. As an experienced caregiver, I've learned that patience and compassion form the foundation of developing that all-important bond. Sixx is a great help in this endeavor as she is a very friendly dog and loves making new playmates. My place is fitted with webcams so you can check in on your pet and let them hear your voice. If your dog is crate-trained and finds it easier to adapt to a new environment through this method, I have one that can accommodate most sizes.

“Great sitter, quick communications, sent pictures, accommodated late pick up, pup is pooped and napping, grey job, highly recommended.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 18 years old. I’m a dog lover with a dog myself so I think I’m perfect for the job! I’m available all the time. I do work part time and I sometimes go out of town but otherwise I am free when you need me! I live in an apartment with a lot of grass area and multiple dog parks! I also have a dog bed for the puppies that stay!

About: I have taken care of various types of dog babies across many states. I learn quickly about what a dog needs especially when factoring in weather. I work from home most days and run in the evening. Usually long distance runs are in the morning so not inconvenient for night stays. For my home, I have a very spacious dog park and closed in balcony. Also live close to the riverwalk for night walks. There is space in home for medium sized crates if necessary.

“Mitchell did a great job with Otter! He sent me pup-dates with pictures and Otter came home all tuckered out! Thank you so much!”
