Doggy Day Care in Mancelona

“Kendra was very responsive and communicative from the outset. We needed daycare during our camping trip for some non dog friendly activities, and were somewhat back and forth on the timings. She accommodated our changes despite having some last minute complications. She showed us where the dogs would be and did a meet and greet outside. We really appreciate her services!”

About: I have worked with pets since I was 15. I was a veterinary technician for many years before retiring to raise my two children now that they are grown and moved out I would like to spend my time caring for pets and providing a safe and loving environment with activities. I am a stay at home dog mom therefore my schedule is open to accommodate any schedule needed. If late night hours are needed we can definitely make a plan. I have partial fencing and 4 acres of wooded land. My basset hounds have gps remote collars and I also have extra collars for visitors. I'm outside with the boys either gardening, swimming or playing with the dogs. I have curious hound dogs so I'm constantly keeping tabs on them and I would do the same for your pets. I also have an indoor crate if needed when I leave.

“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!”

“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!”

“Mairi, was great. The pups, energetic Germain Shorthairs, were tired when I picked them up which is always a feat. Mairi was also quite flexible when I was super late in picking the dogs up one day.”

About: As a lifelong pet lover raised in a household with different furry companions, I have an understanding and genuine affinity for animals to my pet sitting services. I take joy in forming connections with each animal I encounter. I embrace the opportunity to engage with them all. As an adult, I have continued to welcome pets into my life while also providing dedicated care for my family's beloved animals in their times of need. I have also done foster care with cats as well. With me, you can rest assured that your furry family members will receive personalized attention, genuine affection, and a trustworthy companion during your absence or on a long walk. I am able to be flexible with my time as I am off for the summer. My schedule is quite open and I can work around other times as well. I have 10 acres that back up to state land so most animals would have an open opportunity to run and get their energy out. I'm very close to trails as well.

“Kacey is new to this daycare setting, sally made him feel welcome and did a meet and greet with the dogs he would be spending time with. We felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. He came home happy and tired.”

About: I love dogs and cats and have years of pet care experience. Your dog enjoys the supervised run of my pet-safe home which includes a big back yard. Dogs are allowed on the couch and in the bed. We take twice daily long walks and daily leashed lake swims if desired. All dogs must be potty trained, and cats litter trained but I am happy to administer medication and follow special diets. I work from home as a graphic designer and I have an MFA in Drawing and an active fine art drawing and printmaking practice. Pets are attended to at all times as I work in the same room where they play. I take plenty of play and walk breaks. Art materials used are non toxic and kept locked away from pets. I often stretch pets and if I sketch yours you may keep it! I have a fenced yard and my home is pet proofed. I have a friendly dog and cat. Pets are attended to an all time and never left alone. Cats get their own room and dogs may sleep in their kennel or on the bed.

“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!”
