Doggy Day Care in Lafayette Park, Detroit

“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.”

“Lizabeth was wonderful! She was very responsive with communication around booking & care instructions, and she went above & beyond sending updates and photos throughout the day! She made me feel confident that I left my little Hugo in good hands!”

“Pallavi was fantastic! She took great care of our puppy. She understood the needs of the puppy by discussing the requirements ahead of time, clearly explained the plan on how she plans to handle the puppy and provided regular updates on the status. I would recommend her anyone looking for a pet loving, professional pet caretaker.”

“Lasya was amazing with our two dogs! They provided regular updates and pictures throughout the day and kept us feeling very comfortable while we were away from our fur babies! They got outside for regular walks, but they also have lots of room inside for them to play. Their dog is also great and got along easily with ours. They will be our ‘go to’ people whenever we are back in town!”

“I've used Vanessa several times. She's always accommodating with my crazy schedule, and always keeps me updated with messages and pictures.”

About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and passion for pet care comes from learning pet care from my dad who is police dog trainer. I currently work from home it's a flexible job so l would have plenty time for the pet. Also I would love to go out on walks. I have fenced yard where we can go out play, I have play toys, yummy treats for the fur babies. Also would love to go on walks. I do not take many pets in one service so I can provide more personalized services.

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

About: I've owned dogs for the past 20 years, first an Australian Shephard, then a yellow Lab. I've also cared for the dogs of friends and family. After the death of my most recent guy, Petey, I decided that I want the companionship of dogs without the vet bills$ I'm now retired from teaching and have all the time in the world to sit, walk, transport and care for dogs. I can accept dogs during the day or night, 7 days a week. Your dogs will be in an open setting in my home. I have a fenced yard so they can play. I live near a park and a riverfront, so long walks can be taken through natural settings. I accept only one or two dogs at a time, depending on the personality and behaviour of the dogs. I have a van that can transport dog to wherever they need to go.

About: I’m currently a student and working from from home and love dogs to my core. I have a 5 year old toy poodle named Mason. He’s so sweet & playful and he’s always looking for another puppy to play with. I have had experience with dogs my entire life, but in college I decided to get one of my own and I have no regrets yet! I will make sure your pet receives endless love and affection, long walks, loads of fun and trips to the dog park to mix and mingle. Safety of your pet is my priority so there’s no need to worry while they’re under my watch. I understand how stressful it can be to find someone you trust with your baby, so I will be sure to keep you updated throughout our day. I enjoy taking photos of my dog and nature so expect pictures updates as well. I am super flexible so for whatever you need, don’t hesitate to ask! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! I’m available for daily walks, drop in visits and boarding. I work from home so I have the time and flexibility to care for your pet and give them the attention they need throughout the day. I am very respectful of your space and your dog and their’s. Making sure only do what I am advised to and anything outside of that I’d check with the owner prior.

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.

“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!!!!!”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life, my parents raised seeing eye dogs, and I helped with training and daily care from a young age. In my teens, I helped my mom run a small dog-boarding business out of our home, so I'm used to dogs with all kinds of temperaments and routines. Over the years, I've often been the go-to friend for dogs that need a little extra patience or understanding, whether that's a shy senior or a high-energy handful. I recently lost my own pup, and while l'm not ready for another full-time, I miss having a dog around and love being able to offer that care and attention to someone else's. I'm currently working on fixing up my very old duplex so I'm home, tinkering around most of the time, and my schedule is flexible. If you're worried about your pet being in a construction zone, not to worry! The living area is safe and segmented from anything that might be hazardous yet intriguing to your pet. I have a partially fenced yard, perfect for supervised play. Living in midtown means that there's plenty of interesting things to smell along walks. I can crate your dog if needed, and you're welcome to bring their own if that makes them most comfortable. I have quite a few house plants in my space, so please let me know if your pup is prone to chewing on them and I will move them out of the way for their visit.

About: I love animals, in particular dogs. Since my now-adult son was gifted a puppy for his 10th birthday, dogs have been a huge part of my life. How can anyone be in a bad mood around dog or cat?? I treat them like children by playing with them, talking to them, teaching right from wrong, and just loving them to bits! I currently work from home part-time, 3 days a week, Tuesday through Thursday. Friday through Monday are my days off. Caring for pets provides me with a reason to take breaks throughout the day by walking and having playtime with my dog. It's proven to be a much needed stress releaver from the daily grind of work. I have two social and loving cocker spaniels that love having play dates! We also recently adopted a 3 year-old rescue (part Great Dane/Labrador)from The Caymen Islands. He is a gentle giant that wouldn’t hurt a fly! I have a large fenced yard for open play. I have baby gates on both stair cases so that I can keep a better eye on the pups. I don't crate my pup but am not against it.

About: I’ve been a groomers assistant and bather at a grooming shop and doggie daycare for a few years in past and I have access to a dog bathing suite for $15 for the use and $25 per dog. Blow drying those furry friends coats out! :) I’ve been dog and house sitting for years and I have had a few dogs of my own. I get excited to see every dog and cat I meet, they really make my day. If you’re out of my walking radius and still would like me to care for your pets you can provide transportation fees then I’d be happy to accept the jobs if I’m available that are last minute when you can’t find someone else. This is my only job, caring for pets now. I have worked for over 30 years and I have found pet sitting to be the best retirement gig for my wellbeing. So I’m available quite a bit. I can walk dogs or do house visits for either cats or dogs. I can help with training if you have rules or something you’d like me to help with for your pets. I can also pick up an item you may need from premier pet shop.

“Awesome! He really helped me out when I was in a bind. Great with communication, following care instructions, and just being patient with my puppy. I will be sending Otis back to him when I need his help.”

Sirena G.

“We had a last minute need for a sitter in Detroit and Raeshawn was fantastic! She took Maggie for a nice stroll and stopped into a doggie pool. It was a short bit sweet visit. Thanks so much!”

Chris M.

“Jack was great. He watched my dog while we went to a concert at Ford Field. Very flexible with drop off and pick up time as we weren’t sure what time pick up time would be. Highly recommend him! Thanks Jack!”

Josselynn W.

“David Rafael and his wife were wonderful with my boy. They were very tentative and kept me posted all day. Leo is slow to taking but I can tell they became FAST friends. He was gracious with Leo in every capacity. He was easy going about pickup and drop off times. I'll absolutely be booking with him again!”

Alexandra S.

“We dropped Ollie off while we went to a Tigers game. Lauren was great! Ollie is timid but he was comfortable right away. Location was very convenient”

About: Always grew up with dogs at home and have experience training puppies. At this time, will only be taking small dogs or dogs that get along well with small dogs.

Whenever I do need to go out, dogs are never left alone for more than 4 hours. Walks are twice a day or more as needed. Will follow your feeding schedule. I live in an apartment with a fenced patio.
