Doggy Day Care in Grosse Ile

About: With over 14 years of experience caring for animals, pets have always been a big part of my life. I currently have three friendly dogs and a cat, and every one of them is treated like a beloved family member. Our entire household is full of animal lovers, and we pride ourselves on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for every pet that stays with us. We welcome pets into our home where they’ll enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. We have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor fun, and our own pets are very social and gentle with others. I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home—and I love sending lots of photo updates so you can see how much fun they’re having while you’re away! Operating as Guardian Paws Boarding (Tracy & Sons, LLC). Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s my full-time passion and profession. I’m home all day, every day, which means your pet will get constant attention, love, and care. Since this is my only job, your cat (or dog) will be my top priority, and their needs will never be rushed or overlooked. From playtime and feedings to snuggles and quiet companionship, I’m fully available to follow your pet’s routine and make them feel right at home. You can relax knowing they’re being cared for by someone who’s always around and truly dedicated to their happiness and well-being. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like one of the family. I provide a safe, loving home environment with plenty of attention, play, and comfort. We have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can run, explore, and get their energy out safely. If your dog is crate-trained or needs to be crated at certain times, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I have three friendly, well-socialized dogs who love meeting new furry friends, and two wonderful kids (ages 8 and 15) who are great with animals and love to play and cuddle with them. Whether it’s fetch in the yard, a cozy nap inside, or just being around a loving family, your pet will get the care and companionship they deserve while you’re away.

“I was so nervous about leaving Wrangler with a stranger. I felt like I was dropping my child off at daycare for the first time. I do know that Wrangler went right in. Emily seemed genuine and very sweet. I picked Wrangler up and the fact that he ate his food that I left with them told me alot. When Wranglers anxious he won't eat. Then He seemed like he got alot of energy out and ate his dinner. I didn't see ant signs of distress and am willing to continue bringing him back to her home in the future.”

“This was my first time using Rover and Kimberly was great at explaining everything and making me and my dog feel comfortable. We did day care to see how my dog would do before boarding and it went well. Plus she sent many pictures & videos. Oakley is excited to come back again!”

“Michele and her husband are such caring people and loved our little one so well. Our little one isn’t the easiest and they were very patient with her and took good care of her. I highly recommend using Michele to care for your pet.”

“Working with Shant'a was a tremendously positive experience. This was our first time leaving our pup Leo with a babysitter, and she helped patiently guide us through the process, worked with us coming from our of state, and created such a welcoming environment that Leo eagerly zipped right into her home without a second glance at us. (OK, that part was a little disheartening, but clearly he was happy about it.) Six hours later we came by to collect him, expecting the eager welcome we get when coming home from work, but he seemed more like a kid being told "playtime is over, time to go home". Clearly he was in no rush to leave. Shant'a sent us some nice pics during his stay, and held to the routines we requested. No complaints! She's a delight and we hope to work with her again.”

About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old. I have always grown up having family pets, and still continue having pets within my home to this day. I have two dogs myself, and they are spoiled beyond measure. I'm reliable, trustworthy, flexible, and I'll treat your fur baby just like I treat my own! I have currently finished up my academic portion of graduate school and am awaiting graduation and to pass my exam. I will be home for a few months studying and hanging out with my fur babies, giving me some spare time to help care for your fur baby! I have a big backyard to allow for your dogs to run. I also have two fur babies myself who can help keep your dogs company. Since I do have dogs myself, I can also provide your dog with walks or trips to the dog park!

About: Husky mama since 2016! Huge dog lover and have the best dogs ever and ready to love on some others to fill my puppy/baby fever while I am in my newlywed era!

Love going on walks and adventures or just cuddling with or beside furry friends for support and comfort. I have a fully a 10 year old, very friendly husky who loves friends! He is also very well trained and can be separated from other not so friendly or socially hesitant dogs as well if need be, he has his own room in our home and loves it in there to give our friends space!

I am available most of the time except Wednesdays. I have a fenced yard, lots of toys, outdoor and indoor beds, extra leases, lick mats, separate feeding stations, as well as a crate if needed.

About: Taking care of animals is a passion of mine. In fact I am currently working towards a career as a zookeeper. Grew up taking care of both indoor family pets and outdoor barn dogs. I wish to give my own dog, Freya, the best life and therefore have done much research on the care of dogs and their needs. When it comes to animals I prefer to be cautious and examine their behavior to make sure each animal is happy and healthy. My current job has flexible hours and allows me to work from home so I have open availability and I will be able to watch your pets. I have a fenced in backyard which my dog takes plenty advantage of. I understand dog behaviors and monitor them for signs of distress or aggression. If need be I am able to isolate dogs in either a crate or separate areas of the house.

About: Hi! I'm Amari and used to volunteer at my local animal shelter and I have a lot of knowledge about a lot of animals! I love caring for different kinds of animals and they're amazing creatures! Your pets would enjoy their stay when they come to spend the night and my dogs would keep them company and have fun with your precious pet! And I’m happy to take care of your babies and have so much fun with them in my care too! I love all the different doggies that I get to meet whenever I watch them. And possibly getting to know the humans behind the wonderful doggies and different other animals I happen to encounter on my babysitting days. :D thanks for reading!

About: Open home with no children or other animals. All sizes of cats and dogs welcome! I hope your baby likes fun and affection because this is the place for it! I've had pets most of my life, and enjoy having happy wagging tails and purrs of contentment nearby. Pet families welcome too! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, providing a meaningful way to blend responsibility with care. Each visit is thoughtfully scheduled to ensure consistency, creating a sense of comfort and safety for the pets. I prioritize secure environments, always double-checking doors, gates, and feeding instructions to protect their wellbeing. My growing knowledge of animal behavior helps me recognize what each pet needs, whether it’s a calming walk, playtime, or quiet companionship. This attentiveness brings peace of mind to pet owners and happiness to the animals, making pet sitting not just a task, but a fulfilling and trusted part of my week. When caring for a pet in someone else’s home, I prioritize trust and respect in every action I take. I understand that I’m being welcomed into a personal space, and I treat it with the same care and consideration I would expect in return. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to house rules, to ensure the pet remains comfortable and routines are maintained. I respect the home by keeping it clean and secure, and I always communicate openly with the owners, providing updates for peace of mind. Above all, I build trust by being reliable, thoughtful, and fully focused on the wellbeing of both the pet and the home.

“Pattie was wonderful with Pepper! She communicated consistently throughout the day while being respectful of my work schedule. She sent plenty of pictures and clearly spoiled our baby girl. Pepper came home happy and well cared for. We will definitely use Pattie again for care when we need it.”
