Doggy Day Care in Kalkaska

“Megan has been an outstanding animal provider and care taker for all 15 years I have known her. All animals who come into her home always get the best care and attention. Her home is clean and provides lots of space outside for physical activity and her routine is perfect. I trust her with my own high energy/maintenance German Shepherd when I’m away on farrier trips, and he always returns home well fed and happy.”

“Cheryl & Sean were wonderful with our young puppy. He seemed very happy and well taken care of. We had frequent update and photos throughout the day. We will definitely be using them again very soon! 🐾”

About: I’m a very experienced animal lover with 10+ years of experience working in veterinary hospitals. I work from home full time Monday - Friday so your pet would not be home alone often. I have a 2.5 year old yellow Labrador who loves to play! I live in my own house, have a big yard (not fenced but I have 60ft leads attached in the yard), and I live across from the beach. Please feel free to reach out with any questions - I’d love the opportunity to watch your pet! I work from home full time Monday - Friday so your pet won’t be home alone much. I have a flexible schedule so can take time for walks, potty, and playtime as often as needed. I have a large yard - not fenced but I have 60 ft leads. I live across from the beach so have water access to Lake Michigan to swim. I also have a 2.5 year old yellow Labrador who loves to play!

“Jared was excellent with my golden retriever. He was very responsive. I received a picture and video throughout the day as well as any updates I asked for. My dog had excellent play time (as I can see all of his steps on his collar) and was exhausted from a fun filled day!”

“Loretta took care of my 14 year old husky while I was out of town, and she did a great job. She was attentive to my older dogs’ needs, took her for daily walks, and tried to make her as comfortable as possible.”

“Alexis, did a great job with my dogs. She went out of her way to accommodate us on our vacation in TC. She had my dogs for longer than asked and had taken them an extra day. She was great! Ty! Sorry, it has taken me so long to give my review.”

“Chelsea was great and was able to watch our dog with somewhat short notice. She has a large property with a fenced-in yard and two other very friendly dogs that got along very well with our pup.”

“We had a day trip planned and couldn't bring our dog so we found Emily on Rover. She had a lot of 5 star reviews and now I know why! She was AMAZING and treated our fur child like her own. She was extremely responsive to messages, provided pictures during the stay and was just genuinely a wonderful person. Seriously cannot recommend her enough!”

“Sampson seemed to have a great time with Jordan and her friendly Burmese Mountain Dogs!”

“Olivia was amazing! Responsible, communicative and provided our pup great care. We can’t wait to have her watch Finn again!”

“Rachel was wonderfully communicative and provided photos that showed how clearly comfy our doggo was. When we picked him up he was tired and content.”

“What a kind and loving lady! Thank you my new Traverse City friend! You made Gladys feel very welcome! Your dogs were sweet and seemed to warm up to Gladys quickly. You are appreciated- hopefully next time I'm in TC, I can reach out to you! Gladys will be more trained by then!”

“Daniel is the most loving and kind person that I know. He adopted an elderly, small dog that had diabetes and requires insulin. The dog's owner passed and the family was going to put the dog down. Dan adopted this little guy. I don't know too many people that would take on the financial and medical responsibilities for a rescue dog. Because of Dan's love, this little dog is now the spunkiest and sassiest "old man" you could ever meet. My dog loves Dan and going to his house while we are away. I think my dog would be happy to stay with Dan forever! If you want a trustworthy and loving person to care for your "babies," call Dan.”

About: I believe dogs and cats are better than humans. I’m currently training a puppy as a service dog candidate and my days revolve around puppy care and training. I use a positive training approach and have experience with all kinds of dogs from chihuahuas to hounds to labradoodles. I’m a part time online college student trying to make enough money through freelance gigs and other forms of the gig economy. I have tons of free time that’s already dedicated to pet care so may as well add a few more to the mix. Your pets safety is of the utmost importance to me. Caring for a pet begins with establishing a trusting relationship between me and the animal as well as you. I want all parties to feel comfortable with my presence and I adapt to the needs of the pet rather than the other way around. At my own home, I have a fenced in yard (6ft) for doggy daycare on a case by case basis.

“Megan was Absolutely fantastic! She took amazing care of our little Zoe and sent us regular updates with pictures. Would absolutely recommend.”

“Bob was wonderful with my Molly Girl!! She had a great time. Bob took her for multiple walks, kept in touch with me the whole day, and sent me pictures to show how Molly was doing. Would highly recommend Bob for anyone who has dog needs in the Traverse City area!”

“Elizabeth Searle is the most honest, caring,responsible person. She has been a health care provider as well so she would be the best care provider and pet sitter. Sincerely Jane Rich”

“Kimberly did an amazing job with our anxious rescue dog and sent us pictures throughout the day. She was prompt about communication. Highly recommended!”

“My dog had an amazing stay with Deb! She enjoyed the walks, play time, and the nice back yard fenced in area. I will definitely be taking her back to Deb next time I need doggy day care!!”
