Doggy Day Care In Houghton

About: I’ve had either a dog and or cat since I was a child. Even the occasional pet chicken since I grew up on a farm in Michigan!😁Our current dog is a senior so we understand and recognize that dogs older in age need rest and recharging. Our home will allow this as its just the two of us. I also love the young, peppy dogs that like to play and take walks! I am retired one year. My days are spent primarily at home, working in my garden and doing household chores. We’re pretty laidback and enjoy staying close to our animals and home. I have a fully fenced backyard with a pool that is fenced off from the main yard. I have a screened back patio that my cat and dog love hanging out on cool mornings and evenings.

“Pumpkin loves her visits with Ethan and Shawna. We get photos and videos that show she has a great time. Thanks for taking good care of our girl!”

“Very welcoming and super attentive! Diesel had surgery recently and they had no problems getting him his meds and keeping him comfortable during his recovery period. They kept me updated and I was definitely at ease with their care. Diesel felt right at home there. Definitely recommend !”

“Ashley does such a good job of attending to all the dogs in her care, which we can verify because she sends short videos throughout the day showing how each dog is getting along. I’m very pleased and happy for my little two year old Sunny Girl who stays with Ashley twice a week. I especially wanted Sunny Girl to have a chance to play and run with other dogs, and she’s getting that.”

“Water and John are very warm and friendly. They love dogs and are wonderful, communicative caregivers. They were extremely accommodating when I had a last minute request for daycare for my dog. Thank you to you both for being the kind and caring human beings that you are.”

“Allison was kind, friendly, and a great sitter for Katniss! She showed care and attention with Katniss and was very flexible with us as our plans changed with our reservation! She showed knowledge of introducing dogs to each other, as her dogs became friends with Katniss right away! We are so appreciative of Allison and Katniss is always looking forward to her next play date with her dogs!”

“Sylvie is very knowledgeable and was able to manage the introduction of Lola into her daytime crew with both ease and care. She sent videos and messages helping me to see Lola’s interactions with the other two pups in her care. She also had much great input which I appreciated!”

Gail S.

“Andrea was very kind and helpful in caring for our pup. You can tell she loves dogs and our dog seemed to love her, too! The house was roomy and the yard was big and easily accessible. Will definitely use her again soon!”

Jody R.

“She’s amazing!! I’m pretty picky about my dog sitters because my dog is a very high energy dog who needs direction and tends to get anxious at new places. Deb’s been working with him and he now LOVES going to spend the day with her and does awesome over there! Always comes home all tuckered out. She’s my new go to person! :)”

About: I have been around animals for my entire life, mostly dogs! I have pet sit for neighbors and family friends since I was young, and have been working professionally with animals for about one year, feeding, training, coaching, and shanking animals in shelter, daycare, and boarding environments all ranging from pets ages newborn to elderly. I have the most experience with dogs, but I do have experience with cats and a love for both. I am a full time student, however, my classes are all online so I am available to work from any location at any time. I have open availability currently and can take care pets at any time! Although I live in a smaller apartment, my complex is gated and completely friendly to pets, and my unit is directly outside of a private dog park for residents only! Your pets will have plenty of toys and room to run around and have fun here. Should I be taking care of your pets at your own residence, it is another priority of mine to ensure your space is respected and kept clean, and I have experience as a professional kennel technician and cleaner to ensure any messes that occur from your pets will be handled efficiently.

“We appreciated and were so thankful that Barbara was able to watch our 5 yr. old Jojo on short notice. Barbara and Jojo seemd comfortable with each other as soon as they met. Although we were only gone for the day, Barbara sent photos and let us know that Jojo had adjusted quickly. Barbara was friendly and welcoming and we were able to spend our day without worrying. We will definetly ask Barbara to watch Jojo again.”

“Sally is great! She was very friendly and welcoming to our dog, Finnegan. Sally was also super communicative and flexible with our schedule. Would definitely recommend her to others!”

“Our big baby, almost 70 lbs, 7 month, cute as can be! Tried a new place for the 1st time. He's used to sporadically, going to bigger daycare. I love the idea, fewer ratio of Human to dogs. This was perfect for our guy!! I'm glad this worked out. Thank you Alex!”

“Stephanie is wonderful! I needed doggie daycare last minute and she took excellent care of my puppy Frankie. It was my first time leaving her in someone else’s home, and I was at ease knowing she was in caring hands. She has a wealth of experience and is a valued and trustworthy sitter.”

Jil A.

“Wonderful! I had a doctor appointment across from Steve's house. He met me there and walked Sam. Sam was smiling when he came back! Pup's tell it all, lol I thought Steve was a real gentleman and could tell he liked animals. I will use Steve again.”

Julie S.

“Abby is the best! Our little 9 week old puppy Qubit was always so happy to spend time with her while we were at work. She was always responsive, flexible, and kept us updated with pictures and videos. We highly recommend her pet sitting!”

About: My parents told me my first word was dog. I have loved dogs from the moment I entered this world. I got my first dog when I was 8 and it was fully my responsibility to care for him. He was my baby and I wanted him to be apart of everything I did. Now I have my own kiddos who love dogs more than anything. They are eager to have pups around and they love helping out with them. I stay at home so your pet will have 24 hour care. I have a HUGE yard where your pup can play and great paths for walking. I also live right around the corner from a huge dog park if you want your pup to socialize I would be happy to take them there as well! I have a fenced in yard that has shade all hours of the day. My home is dog friendly and I will be happy to Crate your pup if I step away so that your dog will be safe at all times.

“We are so happy to have found Kay! She is very knowledgeable and caring. When our plans changed last minute she was very accommodating. Our dog Hobbs is an energetic cattle dog and Kay knows how to handle him. Hobbs loves staying with her and playing with her dog Cricket. Kay's husband also plays with Hobbs. We highly recommend Kay, and we have already booked many upcoming dates with her this summer.”
